Jasmine Rice

[Thomas_Merton]

Despite the fact we return to LOS in just over a month, we have run short of rice!

We usually buy our Jasmine rice from the chinese wholesalers Wing Yip in Manchester.

Unfortunately we haven't the time to visit and the wife is now suffering from severe withdrawal symptoms.

Does anyone know of an on-line source (that delivers) 10KG+ bags of rice, in the UK?

We pick up outr 10 Kgs bags of Jasmine and Thai Frag. from Hoo Hing down here in Enfield (small supermarket)but believe that their bigger setups will arrange delivery..

.dont know how far they will go however..........

anyway....

Thanks, Rinrada, but it looks as though they will only deliver to businesses (which appears to be the same for the Manchester dealers , whose on-line shop will only deliver 5KG).

I suppose it is a question of weight and delivery costs, but we use 5KG in a couple of weeks, therefore the need for 10KG - which will keep our spair tyres wobbling until we arrive in LOS!

You could try http://www.thai4uk.com/ based in Leicester I think. I'm not sure if they do 10kg bags though.

They deliver via TNT

I've used them a few times and always been reliable

Why not just pop down to your local supermarket - Asda, Sainsbury's, Tesco, whatever, and buy 10 x 1 Kg bags? All of them stock their own brand of Jasmine rice, as well as Tilda if you want a slightly better product.
