Don't know to be honest, rice is rice to me. Harlene chooses it, so it must be ok.

I remember Emma telling me about how they would queue waiting to get the rice many years ago, and it was cheap, cheaper and the next price was full of little stones but it was dirt cheap,
Hard to imagine but like anything in life, we too was not as rich compared to some of our neighbours.

We used to buy that one from our local Costco in either 10kg or 20kg bags depending on what they had in stock.
Most of their rice was Basmati.
Eventually the availability at Costco became unpredicatable so we switched to a local Chinese convenience store but the price was higher.

There's a huge selection of rice hereabouts. Depending where you buy it and the quality of course price ranges from around P45 - P60 per kg
Some of the speciality rice ranges from P50-P85 per kg

There's some rice at P28 which I've tried once, but I really didn't like it one bit.
