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 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 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.

You have to sample the fantastic sugary coloured rice in Yunnan in China.

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.

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!
