Soft, glutinous and sweet---glutinous rice and dates

Overview

I like this dish not only because of the high nutritional value of red dates, but also because of its sensational name. This is indeed the case. After taking a bite, the taste buds on the tongue first come into contact with the sweetness of red dates. After chewing slowly, the softness of the glutinous rice gradually blends into the unique sweetness of the red dates, creating another smooth and tender taste.
