Coloured Sweet Rice In Yunnan, 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.

How much does Chinese sweet coloured rice cost?

Now come on, this is China so everything is cheap. It won't be more than 5RMB (50 pence) for a pack of it.

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??

This is the world's most populated country and it is a gem of a place to travel around. All you need is a backpack, a guidebook and a sense of wonder! It's a great place for backpacking and getting away from the crowds.

So head to China and get trying the excellent sugary rice which is coloured. You should go to the Yunnan Province to buy it. You might just love them!
