Ezygo Steamed Jasmine Rice Review: A 15-Baht Convenience Option

When you’re exploring the aisles of 7-Eleven Thailand, you’ll always find the Ezygo Steamed Jasmine Rice in the refrigerated section. It’s the most basic and affordable side dish available. For just 15 Baht, it’s designed for those who need a quick carbohydrate base for their meal. However, in a country where world-class rice is everywhere, does this plastic bowl live up to the standard?

The Reality Check

I’m giving this a 3.0 out of 5.

• The Convenience: Its biggest strength is being ready in 2 minutes. If you are in a rush or your local street food stall is closed, it’s a reliable backup.
• The Texture: While it is genuine Jasmine rice, the reheating process in the microwave makes it lose that fluffy, airy quality of freshly cooked rice. It can feel a bit dense compared to what you get from a traditional rice cooker.
• The Taste: It’s neutral and serves its purpose as a base for Grilled BBQ Chicken or Natural Veggies, but it lacks the “soul” of fresh rice.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Very Cheap: At 15 Baht, it’s the most affordable side in the store.
• Portion Control: A good size for a single serving.
• Always Available: You can find it in literally every 7-Eleven branch.

Cons:

• Not Fresh: It simply doesn’t compare to rice made fresh at a street stall or at home.
• Plastic Waste: The single-use plastic bowl isn’t ideal for the environment.

Final Verdict

The Ezygo Steamed Jasmine Rice is a 3.0/5. It’s a functional product that saves you in a pinch. If you have no other choice, it works perfectly to soak up the sauce of your favorite 7-Eleven curry, but if you can get fresh rice nearby, go for that instead.
