Dragon Boat Festival (Duan 1 Wu 3 Jie 2) is coming on June 19th (May 5th in Chinese lunar calendar). It is to commerate the patriotic poet Chu Yuan who jumped in a river on that day in 278 B.C.

Mungbean Cake and Glutinous Rice Pyramids are the typical food for this traditional festival.

If you're in China now, you can see many have appeared in supermarkets. Have you tasted?

This is Mungbean Cake (Lv 4 Dou 4 Gao 1)

I like the rice dumplings. Putting some honey on it, tastes very good.

Yes, I tried the Dragon Boat rice dumplings for the first time, while in Guangzhou last week, just before I came home.

They were very good. They had a small bowl of sugar to dip them in.

My wife was so impressed that I knew their name :) :)
