For those non-Filipinos out there. If you wonder what rice they eat, well it's NOT the bland American or Chinese type of rice. Usually in the Filipinos they eat Jasmine or Mila Grosa (the 2 might be the same). Once you try it, you will never eat that no flavor rice again, there is just no comparison. Jasmine Rice has such a very nice aroma & flavor.
It can be bought here in the States too if you want to try it.
Jasmine is also my favorite here, Kevin. Milagrosa ("miraculous") rice is not available in the lone Asian store in our area. Coming back, my check-in bag was loaded with jasmine-like scent rice but pinkish in color and sweet ("pilit" = sticky) rice for biko and puto (Phil rice delicacies) harvested from my sister's ricefield. I don't miss to cook rice everyday. The price of rice in the Phils is ridiculous. National Food Authority is having a huge scam over rice distribution to the people. Worst of all, rice retailers are mixing bad , smelly rice (imports from other asian countries) and the good rice (raised locally by Fil farmers) and selling the mixture at a commercial skyhigh price !
