Hi
I just got back from Taiwan, and im already missing the rice over there. Is it possible to buy proper asian rice in the uk?
I've already bought an electric rice cooker/steamer, so now im just searching around for some good rice.
My taiwanese girlfriends family buy Penglai rice(蓬萊米) so im looking for something similar to that.
thanks!  |

| Your local Chinese supermarket ought to have a nice range and, increasingly, your local Indian food store too... Ask around! I never understood the attraction with those electric rice cookers - what's wrong with a pot on the stove? |

pot on stove = needs expertise and patience to keep checking the rice doesnt burn in order to make proper rice in that lmfaoo
rice cooker = easy, wash. add water and bung on the rice and sorted lol |

For anyone else in need of authentic Asian ingredients, Central Oriental Supermarkets have pretty much everything you could ever need!
They dont have a website but they do have a blog:
www.centraloriental.wordpress.com
