Sawadee ka! Do you love Thai food as much as I do? Tom yam soup is a must whenever I dine at any Thai restaurant. Beside the tasty and spicy Thai dishes,
the type of rice that they served is very important also. For Asian, rice is the source life
- a staple, comfort food and its our main meal. Rice can influenced our appetite,
enhanced pairing the dishes and our overall dining experience. Recently, we just had the perfect combo of Jasmine
Sunwhite Fragrant Rice and Exquisite Thai Dishes @ Erawan Classic Thai &
Fusion Restaurant.

From Left: green curry chicken, tropical fruit curry, omelette with prawns & stir fried kalian with garlic |
The other dishes are tom yam seafood clear soup, green curry
chicken, tropical fruit curry, thai basil minced chicken, spicy prawns with petai, omelette
with prawns and stir fried kalian with garlic.
Tom Yam Seafood Clear Soup |
Can’t get enough of their tom yam seafood clear soup, I can taste
the natural sweetness of the seafood and also the aroma of the tom yam. It’s
not too spicy, salty and not loaded with msg as I don’t feel thirsty after the
meal.
Thai Basil Minced Chicken |
The thai basil minced chicken is one of my favourite too because
thai basil is always good in any dishes. Be warned this dish is indeed spicy
with cili padi, black pepper and herbs.
Spicy Prawns with Petai |
The Jasmine Sunwhite Fragrant Rice is perfect for Thai Fried Rice.
If you look closer at the grain of the Jasmine Sunwhite is slight bigger and
rounder than the Super 5. When it’s cooked the texture is soft, fluffy and smooth
with the fragrant that will arouse our appetite.
Thai Plain Fried Rice using Jasmine Sunwhite Fragrant Rice |
Even without the dishes, the plain fried rice using Jasmine
Sunwhite taste good on its own. The rice texture remains individual by itself,
in another word it’s not broken. It’s firm on the outside and fluffy on the
inside but not mushy or sticky or dry. Therefore you will not feel full that
fast. When chewed the rice together with the dishes, the moderate starchiness
of the rice with blend in with the dishes perfectly.
Thai Plain Fried Rice using Jasmine Super 5 White Rice |
Where else, the fried rice with Jasmine Super 5 White Rice is like
the normal fried rice that we usually have. The texture is slightly harder and
less fluffy compared to Jasmine Sunwhite Rice. It tastes not bad as well.
Steamed White Rice Jasmine Sunwhite Fragrant Rice |
Back to basics, a bowl of steamed plain Jasmine Fragrant Rice is
the perfect to go with any Thai dishes especially the sour and spicy tom yam
soup. So appetizing, onbe more bowl of rice please.
Dining experience with Jasmine Rice at Erawan Classic Thai & Fusion Restaurant |
Well, the dishes paired with right type of rice thus make a lot of
differences when we eat. It gives more satisfaction and enhanced our dining experience.
Overall it was a pleasant dining experience with Jasmine Rice at Erawan Classic
Thai & Fusion Restaurant.
