Jasmine Rice

Jasmine rice is characterized by its fragrant aroma. It is the rice most normally served in Asian restaurants. Everyone has their own favorite brand and it's debatable which one is the best.

My go-to brand had been the three ladies brand. I really liked it because the individual grains were separate from one another and it had a very fragrant and lovely aroma. Many people, however, recommended the Golden Phoenix brand. They really liked it so this past weekend I had run out of rice and decided to give the Golden Phoenix brand a try.

I found that I actually don't like the Golden Phoenix brand as much as the three ladies brand. The Golden Phoenix brand isn't very fragrant and is more chewy. Each grain of rice is almost too pronounced, causing the rice to almst be chewy to eat. The three ladies brand of rice is much more pleasing to my palate and my lesson is to not switch rice brands in the future.
