I strongly disagree with the supermarket brand recommendation. I once went
to a major grocery store to buy a bag of rice, only to find that the brand I
usually buy was out of stock (Rooster brand). One of the employees pointed
to the bulk food bin and said, "Just buy that. It's the same thing." I
assumed he meant it was Rooster brand rice that had been emptied into a bin
so I bought some. It was horrible. I don't know if it was old rice, or
just bad rice, but I know it made lousy cooked rice. Even fried it was
lousy. Turns out they put their own brand of rice into the bins. That was
a year or so ago, and I never used the rest of that rice. I think it either
got thrown away or stuck in a dark corner of a cupboard never to be seen
again. Never again will I buy store brand rice--at least not
American/Canadian supermarket brand rice (a Chinese/Japanese/Thai
supermarket brand rice, maybe, but not Filipino, either!).
