The most traditional dessert on the table for New Year’s Eve dinner is the Babao Sweet Rice.
Eight-treasure rice is an indispensable dessert for southerners on New Year’s Eve dinners. It is a perfect, sweet, and lucky mouthpiece. The eight-treasures are lily, red dates, lotus seeds, blood glutinous rice, red bean paste, and longan. The eight ingredients, walnuts, red and green silk, are put together. They are soft and sweet. There is absolutely no problem in eating two bowls.
Lard, which has always been unhealthy, has gradually withdrawn from the table. Although there are still nostalgic eight-treasure rice on the menu, considering the health of the family, the traditional eight-treasure rice dessert is replaced with pumpkin on the New Year’s Eve dinner table.
The sweetness of pumpkin is the sweetness of the ingredients. It is so natural and fresh that this dessert will be sold out as soon as it is on the table. "
