Rice is a staple food for us Malaysians, and we know how to cook up the most delicious types of rice dishes and it helps that we have so many side dishes to pair up rice with! We’re salivating right now thinking about it!

So how do you know that you love rice so much? Here are some tell-tale signs that you’re a rice lover:

#1 You can eat rice with only sauce

Too lazy to cook meat or fish? That’s fine! You can go without them and eat your rice with sauces like curry and kicap.

#2 You bring your own rice (and probably your rice cooker too) when you travel overseas

Eating rice in a different country is just not the same! That extra luggage you paid for is reserved for your rice, and it’s worth it.

#3 You low-key judge other people for not eating rice

Pasta for every meal? Bread? You just can’t relate.

#4 You have your own personal favourite rice

You’ve already tried different types of rice such as jasmine, brown, and basmathi—and you have your personal favourite that you simply can’t go without for a day.

#5 You’re a food critic when it comes to rice

You can tell when rice is cooked too soft or too hard, or when it’s undercooked based on its appearance and taste. Basically, you’re a pro and if someone messes up your precious rice, you’ll call them out for it. 

#6 You still search for rice after a non-rice meal because you’re not satisfied

You might have had a big meal—but there was no rice! You think you’re full… but not really? What’s happening?! You decide to cook yourself some rice to satisfy your needy stomach.

#7 You think throwing away leftover rice is a crime!

You see people throwing away their rice and you’re shocked. You know better than that; you fry your rice or keep them as a leftover for the next day because you’re not going to waste your favourite food!
