Any restaurants serving brown rice?

[AsiaTraveler1234]

Anyone know of any restaurants in Jomtien/Pattaya that have brown rice? I'm trying to eat healthier whole grain carbs, but everything here in Thailand seems to be refined white rice 🤔

 

Perhaps a pad krapow with brown rice?

Easy Health serves rice berry. Better for you than brown Jasmine.

It is a weird thing that 99% of places sell only the cheapest white rice, you'd think some would try and differentiate themselves offering a better choice, but no we're in Thailand.

 

But white processed carbs are easier to digest which for me is a good thing

Yeah, 'same same but different' regarding alternative milk options in coffee. 9 out of 10 coffee shops only offer whole milk. While rare, it's now possible these days to find oat and almond milk options.  I'm hoping, with time, that more restaurants will start offer healthier carb options like brown rice, quinoa, or the berry rice that the other poster mentioned, which is news to me!

Thanks for the tip, but I doubt the veggie restaurant will let me bring in some chicken or prawns to go with my brown rice 😪 Still good to know, though! Thanks again 🙏

My wife buys rice berry and/or RD 43 (low glycemic) rice for me as I am diabetic, and she seems to want to keep me around a mite longer.🥰

On occasions where white rice is the only option (most restaurants) I simply eat a reduced portion suitable for a diabetic and fill up on the veg/protein parts.

Not a resto but some larger 7-11,s have above the salad section on the top shelf along with jasmine,brown and rice berry.

15 baht for a small tub. Most would probably need a couple of them.

Think I'd prefer soy milk to oat or almond

That is something I haven't seen before. I guess it is quite rare. Anyone? Personally I do not like it at all.😆

Stop by 7-11 and pick up a refrigerated container of brown rice for 15 or 20 baht.  They will microwave it for you if you want.

 

Like you have discoved the majority of locals eat white jasmine rice.
