EVERYDAY MAGIC
Who doesn't love rice? So, why not put the best quality you can afford on your table?

It makes sense, then, to want to eat the best quality rice you can afford. For many parents, putting the best rice on the table is just another way of conveying their love for their family.
FairPrice Gold Thai Hom Mali Rice is one such superior quality option. It is wonderfully aromatic and produces good, plump grains when cooked. It is also delightfully affordable.
In fact, FairPrice Gold Thai Hom Mali Rice is a Gold Winner of the Reader's Digest Trusted Brand Award 2009.
Besides steaming it plain to go with a variety of dishes, I also like it as fried rice and claypot rice.
This version of claypot rice is a deeply savoury Hokkien favourite that everyone in your family will enjoy. If you like, you may add some Chinese sausage to give it a sweet contrast. But I love it just the way it is.
FairPrice Gold Thai Hom Mali Rice ($12.25, 5kg) is available at all FairPrice supermarkets.
