just_Elaine Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 It could be just us, but the last couple of bags of rice that we've bought have not been so tasty. Also, it doesn't have the smell that it used to have while cooking. We bought Golden Phoenix and the most expensive bag we could find at the supermarket (can't remember the name) and we are still having no luck.... Anyone know of a good rice to get? Thanks...

fatfather Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Don't know where you live, but on the country side we changed to buy direct from the farmers, Hom Mali still in the husk. We store it ourselves for one year and get it peeled when needed. The farmers are happy because I pay more than they could get at the collection points and I'm happy because I pay less than in any store for a first class tasty rice Fatfather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 We have always bought Golden Phoenix. Wifey insists on getting the one in the clear packaging rather than the metallised silver pack (she can't see the contents). Not noticed any change in quality recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_Elaine Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 fatfather - Interesting idea, but not so practical for us. We are in Chiang Mai and actually know someone who farms rice in Chiang Rai, but they farm sticky rice. Crossy - I think that the last time we bought it, it was in the metallised silver pack. We will try to look at the clear packaging next time... Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Not sure what the difference is between the two Golden Phoenix packages, both appear to state "Hom Mali 100%" but the clear package is slightly more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyG Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I was advised only to buy Hong Thong (Golden Phoenix) rice since this was the only company that didn't buy rice from the rice pledging scheme. That said, I continued buying Great Harvest organic, premium grade hom mali, and have never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will also keep Great Harvest in mind the next time we go shopping for rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
