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 find the Chinese sweet and coloured rice?
Yunnan Province is one part of China that this exists in. If you see it, buy it and try it as it may be a long time before you find the same type of food again. I tried it the very first time I seen it, that was only a few weeks ago while visiting the Jiulong Waterfalls near Luoping in China's Yunnan Province.
It is very sugary, it's hot and of course this rice is colourful, it's a really different style of rice to the normal.
How much does Chinese sweet coloured rice cost?
Well since it's from a market stall, it will be cheap. Don't expect to pay any more than around 5 Chinese Yuan (RMB) for a serving!
You have to sample the fantastic sugary coloured rice in Yunnan in China.
How about the flavour? What does this rice taste like?
I have to say I loved it and scoffed it quickly. Rice itself is very flavourless to me, but the added sugar made it tasty and sweet. I'm not sure what e-numbers are in it, as they need to get the colours from somewhere but the taste was great! Really worth trying. The colours of the rice were turquoise, pink, yellow and purple.
Overall what about travelling in China, what's it 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!
