Moobahn Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 For the last couple of months we have frequent problems when cooking rice. Sometimes it's like sticky rice or even with half the water we normally use it still becomes soggy rice. Even my wife doesn't understand what's going on. We tried several brands. I guess the rice is mixed with old pledging rice or something like that. Does anybody know a brand of rice that is safe? Maybe a brand that does its own milling or something.

lopburi3 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The best rice we have found is Kao Dok Mali (advertised as best rice in Thailand) and at 5kg marked price of 270 baht the most expensive. But wife finds it better than any other and especially not being sticky. We buy at local Max Value. We used to use the best rice sold by Foodland for many years but she/everyone like this better.

RT85 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 YES i had that same problem!!! it was so frustrating as we never had problems back in our home country.. (i'm a chef back home and have been cooking rice for years with no problems!) but after months and months of disappointing and confusing time choosing rice.. we finally found the winner!!!! the name is in thai so sorry i can't type it here but look out for this! Enriched Jasmin Rice (2kg air tight yellow bag) the picture shows the rice being a little yellow in colour.. and you're not meant to wash the rice.. it's already been prewashed and soaked with vitamins.. i promise u will not regret this brand enjoy!!

lopburi3 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Jasmin would be normal high quality Thai rice. But a 2kg bag? This is Thailand - nobody buys 2kg of rice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triplebank999 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Jasmin would be normal high quality Thai rice. But a 2kg bag? This is Thailand - nobody buys 2kg of rice. No, of course they don't. Why do shops stock it then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Most shops do not - but it really was meant in jest so the The normal Thai shopping prior to supermarkets (rice stores) was 20kg paper bags from sack - now it is most often sold in 5kg branded plastic bags as easy to carry.
