[quote=MARRIE,404953]Eight Treasure Rice Pudding Cake

On spring festival and other big Chinese traditional big events, one of the desserts that finalises the Shanghainese big family dinner is eight  treasure rice pudding cake.

Early Eight-treasure Rice Pudding consists of cooked glutinous rice, sugar and lard, raisins like lotus seeds, Chinese dates, preserved kumquat, longan pulp, preserved cherry, jackfruit, seeds of Job’s tears, and shelled melon seeds, and red and green shredded plum. It not only smells good and tastes delicious, but also carries rich connotations. Lotus seeds stands for harmonious and happy marriage; longan pulp for reunion; kumquat for good luck; Chinese dates for giving birth to the first baby as soon as possible; preserved cherry and jackfruit for a sweet life; seeds of Job’s tears for longevity, elegance and innocence; shelled melon seeds for a regular and peaceful life; red shredded plum for encouragement and blessings; and green shredded plum for pine and longevity
