Sweet Coloured Rice in China

By Jonny Blair


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.

Hot, sugary and sticky as well as being colourful! Chinese rice with a difference.

What price is this sweet and 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.

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.

What is travelling in China like??

To see China properly you need to get out of the big cities like Shanghai and Beijing and you will see all this massive country has to offer. The countryside has endless travel options and the country of China is quite simply littered with ancient and modern popular tourist sites to see!

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.
