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?
You can find the sweet coloured Chinese rice in a load of places, but Yunnan is one province that definitely has it. If you head out to the amazing Jiulong Waterfalls you can see a lot of food stalls there and some of them sell the Chinese sweet and coloured rice.
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 will you pay for the sweet coloured Chinese rice?
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!
Sampling the excellent sweet coloured rice in China is really recommended.
What does Chinese sweet coloured rice taste like?
It's delicious and really sweet. It will surprise you - you will munch and scoff it down really quickly. Despite not having much flavour, the sugar really is noticeable and it goes down a treat. It comes in multicolours - purple, pink, yellow, blue and white.
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.
Make sure you get China on your itinerary and try the fantastic sugary sweet rice when you hit up the Yunnan Province. It has to be tried.
