This is a long over due blog post. Rice is very important to Singaporeans. We had an excellent recommendation to buy Ligo brand even before we arrived here. We started with that, not bad, but for some unknown reason it spoils quickly. Then one day at Hyper Panda we found a rice brand with "Hom Mali" or "Thom Mali" on it. This is the rice to buy! My sis used to help market rice in Singapore and that is where I got to learn the label, "Thom Mali". "Hom Mali" is actually the wrong spelling. I have gotten used to seeing two or three different spellings for many of the roads here. Perhaps this whole place is dyslexic. One of my children is quite dyslexic and I haven't figure out how to solve her problem here. Back in Singapore it is easy. The Dyslexia Association of Singapore has courses to help her. Over here, some teachers question if she is really dyslexic as she topped English. Anyway recently they had a spelling test and the result? She failed, scoring only three out of ten words correct.

Make sure the grains are whole. Fragrant rice has a little chip on one end of the grain. It should be quite translucent. The fragrance is when the rice is just cooked.
Keep rice in an airtight container. Place a small piece of charcoal wrapped in kitchen towel to absorb moisture. Go to http://www.seehoychan.com/webtop/rice/ for more info.
