connda Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) I've had a hankering for some Cream of Wheat lately. I usually check to see if any is in stock when I go to retail stores in Chiang Mai, but haven't seen any lately (last visit at Rimping Nim Plaza was a zero as well). This is something I'd usually get at Kasem or Rimping, but can't say I've seen it stocked lately. Has anyone seen Cream of Wheat for sale in Chiang Mai in the last month?

Popular Post Pink Mist Posted June 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2023 Bought some today st Villa here in HH, it was 435Thb. I know there is not a Villa up your way, but just checked on Lazada and they have it. You can always order it for delivery @connda Cheaper than what i paid. You can buy the individual packets or the cook in the pot style. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried Shopee and found it for 479 THB including shipping for the 794 gram box and they had a lot in stock. Pricey though. At current exchange rates that's about $13.60 for a box. Speaking of currents, I'll have to add in the cost of the raisins too (which I already have). This is just one of those "I just wanna have some" moments. A 29oz box is about $6.00 in the US. Cooked with raisins and drizzled with butter and cream. Yum. I'll savor every morsel. Priceless! Edited June 25, 2023 by connda 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I love Cream of Wheat too but the price for it in Thailand is so ridiculously high that I just won't go there. On the other hand I have paid the price for Grape Nuts which I don't think is priced quite as absurdly as Cream of Wheat but still bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've eaten lots of different grains and at no time has rolled wheat ever tasted like "Cream of Wheat." Like I said, this is one of those, "Geez whiz, I really feel like having a bowl of good old fashioned Cream Of Wheat. I'm just indulging myself. But I appreciate the suggestion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bl00dy meal. You've missed the entire point. You could mix vegetable powder in soy milk and ground earthworms, and obtain an nutritious meal which is also an "experience." But it's not an experience I particularly want. Cream of Wheat once or twice a year. Yep - it is an 'experience' to be enjoyed. Well, at least for those of us who have functioning taste buds and an appreciation of foods we grew up eating. "It's a bloody meal." Nope - not bloody at all. Very vegan and sustainable in fact. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What additives are in it? If I'm indulging my taste buds? I don't care "what additives are in it." <laughs> Wow - this has gone way off topic. I'd still like to know of anyplace in Chiang Mai that is selling Cream Of Wheat. If anyone comes across some, let me know. Shopee worked this time around. But I'd still like to know if any retail outlets are selling it in CM. Thanks! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised to see, apparently there's no Villa Markets anywhere in the north including Chiang Mai...as best as I can find. If he doesnt find a better option, the OP also could contact the Villa Market main branch at Sukhumvit Soi 33 in BKK, and I believe they'll accept online orders that they'll ship anywhere in Thailand for non-perishable items. Might be another 125b or so for delivery based on my mockup of a single package. https://shop.villamarket.com/search?keyword=Cream of Wheat Edited June 25, 2023 by TallGuyJohninBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But OP I understand where your coming from......Nilla wafers, Cream of Wheat, Saltines, Ginger Ale and Grits hard to find... Canadian Whiskey as well.
