Green Rice anyone?

Hi kei! Pandan is a nice aromatic plant. I like its aroma, actually and I've tasted rice with pandan on it. I like it and I would definitely want to eat it again. And I love Hainanese rice, too!

It is really green as in green? If its really green it also contain some flavoring. My mom usually cooked with Pandan but the color of the rice is not really green at all. Its like milk green. The greeny part is where the pandan leave are located then 3/4 of the part of the rice is partial milk green.

A Pandan Flavor rice? I haven't heard that, Of course, I will definitely try it. At home ,we usually add a Pandan leaves when we cook our rice. The main reason for this is that we bought an NFA rice.

I've never seen and heard of it before but after reading this post came to my mind that it's only a green coloring added to the rice with a combined real and artificial Pandan flavor- since in my knowledge we don't grow that color of rice in our locality, I think that's how it is being done in order to achieve that kind of presentation. Anyway, I'm still curious, as to have a taste of it because it's something eccentric especially to some who haven't seen or heard of it before.

Haven't seen a pandan flavor rice that is green.I know that you can put Pandan leaf while cooking the rice to give nice aroma to it but never seen it green.

Wow..You're right! It's shocking green, hahah. That's too much green for me, too much food color I think. Sorry, i think I'll pass. :D

oh that is why it is green! its because they put flavor in the rice. :D i think its going to be too sweet but then i won't mind really to try it out just to know how it tastes like. :D

I haven't seen green rice before, even the Hainanese you mentioned. I've only eaten white, brown and black rice. But I wouldn't mind eating green rice especially if it's flavored with pandan. It's more enticing than the black rice I had. Besides, I eat colored rice cakes. I guess there's no difference in eating colored rice

hi I commented on the picture its mouth watering if it's pandan flavor i bet it's sweet too! I have tried black rice when we ate at congo grill it's a must try rice at congo grill hahaha..Mind if i ask where can we taste green rice?

hello kei, Yes, I've tried this rice several times, it tastes good. I also tried the yellow one and it also taste good. This pandan rice is a common rice with "paotsin" stall in malls. Try it and it tastes good :)

Oh yes, if ever there is one in our place , displayed already cooked in a restaurant, i would definitely try it. However, before buying, i would definitely ask why is it green. If it's because of a flavor and color enhancer, i won't buy it. But if it's through natural means, why not?

I would try it if the green color is not food coloring, pandan is easy to grow even in pots so we put pandan leaves in our rice from time to time, um... smells really good and very appetizing.

what a wonderful green color! but is that natural or food coloring? the rice really smells good when it has pandan leaves but when we put pandan leaves it does not really turn green. When you use banana leaf it will really turn green. you said it's shocking green, maybe its just artificial coloring. I guess its delicious anyway.

The pandan rice seems interesting and I will definitely try it if I have the chance. But if the color of the rice is not taken naturally from pandan, and is added with artificial food color, then it is not really anything :)

Oh that's interesting. Yeah I would definitely try it because as a Filipino, it's natural for me to love rice lol. I have tried various kinds of rice including black, red,brown and even the middle eastern rice "kabsah". Lastly, I bet that it smells great because of the pandan aroma.
