Today's Friday's Featured Food comes from China once again. We know how much the Asians love their rice, but how about some special coloured rice with sugar added to it? Throw in a walk to some gorgeous waterfalls called Jiulong, near Luoping in the Yunnan Province and you're sorted. Here's a bit about Chinese sweet coloured rice.
Where can you buy Chinese sweet coloured rice?
The Chinese coloured rice is not as common as you would think in China and you need to look around to get it. One province which you can definitely find it is Yunnan. Head to the epic Jiulong Waterfalls near the city of Luoping in Yunnan and on the walk up to the waterfalls there are stalls selling it.
Hot, sugary and sticky as well as being colourful! Chinese rice with a difference.
How much will you pay for the sweet coloured Chinese rice?
You're in China so as you would imagine it's cheap! It will definitely not break the bank, around 5 RMB or Chinese Yuan is the standard price for a serving of this rice.
Sampling the excellent sweet coloured rice in China is really recommended.
What does Chinese sweet coloured rice taste like?
It's definitely worth tasting - very sweet and sugary obviously. It's very easy to eat and despite not having much of a strong flavour, you will be impressed by it. The colours also make it easy on the eye as you scoff it. It comes in pink, purple, yellow and turquoise.
What is travelling in China like??
Well China is quite simply the world's largest country in terms of population and will have you amazed by the sheer magnitude of things to do, places to see and people to meet. Parts of China are really off the beaten track for backpackers and make for a fascinating experience.
When your wandering heart takes you to China, get the Yunnan Province on your schedule and make sure you try this fantastic sweet and coloured rice. You will love it!
