Hi everyone, 

At Tiffin Walla Food Company, we only serve 3 types of rice to our customers. Red Rice, Basmati and Brown Rice.

Red Rice supply can be found in Thailand. I have been eating red rice since I was young. In Kelantan this red rice is mixed with a portion of glutinous rice to make "Nasi Dagang" and richly steam with coconut milk.

(well that part is not quiet healthy .....)

I love the smell of " Nasi Dagang" being cooked in the house... fragrant smell of fenugreek make you feel hungry .... oooh I miss my Nasi Dagang....

It is habitual for Kelantanese to eat this meal in the morning for breakfast accompanied by Gulai Ikan Tongkol.

Well here is why we serve red rice in our menu.

RED RICE 

Facts

• Red rice, also known as red rice yeast, is an over-the-counter remedy that has a reputation for lowering "bad" blood cholesterol levels (LDL) in individuals. It can be classified as either an herbal remedy or a dietary supplement. Red rice contains monacolins, which are naturally occurring statins. These statins are known to limit cholesterol synthesis. One of the most potent monacolins is lovastatin, which has been used in pharmaceutical drugs.

History

• The history of red rice dates back to its origin in China, as far back as the Tang dynasty of A.D. 800. Red rice served two purposes: culinary and medicinal. Culinarily, it is used both as a food coloring and dietary staple in certain parts of China. In traditional Chinese medicine, red rice has a history of naturally dealing with a variety of health concerns, ranging from increased blood circulation to better digestion to eliminating blood blockages.
