Wonderful! Wanning, a hidden gem on Hainan's east coast, boasts not only stunning bays and a surfing culture, but also a culinary scene imbued with tropical charm and unique charm. Among them, **Glutinous Rice Flower** is a must-try, quintessential "delicious flower" treat! ## Wanning's "Delicious Flower" Representative: Glutinous Rice Flower * **Key Features:** This isn't a dish made with flowers, but rather a unique dessert **made by steaming glutinous rice wrapped in fresh turmeric buds.** It perfectly embodies the marriage of "delicious" and "fresh" flowers. * **Appearance:** These resemble plump little buds, each green before opening. Once steamed, they open slightly, revealing the pure white glutinous rice within. They're incredibly adorable and enticing, truly an "edible work of art." * **Aroma:** The greatest attraction lies in the **unique, elegant, and fragrant aroma of the turmeric flower**. During the steaming process, the floral fragrance permeates the glutinous rice, creating a truly refreshing and delightful aroma. * **Taste:** * Outer Petals: After steaming, the yellow ginger petals become soft, slightly chewy, and possess a unique fragrance. * Glutinous Rice Inner Layer: Soft, sweet, and usually left plain, this dish absorbs the petals' aroma to its fullest. Some recipes add a little shredded coconut or sugar to the rice for a more nuanced flavor. * **Flavor:** Upon first tasting, a refreshing floral aroma dominates, accompanied by the natural sweetness and soft texture of the glutinous rice. This refreshing, natural, and non-sweet dish is a quintessential Hainan specialty, perfect for those who appreciate the natural flavors of natural ingredients. * **Experience:** Eating glutinous rice flower is not only a delight for the taste, but also a feast for the senses. Peeling back the wrapping leaves (sometimes also wrapped in zongzi or banana leaves) reveals the floral fragrance, revealing the jade-like white glutinous rice nestled among the tender yellow petals. Taking a bite, it feels like swallowing the fragrance of a tropical garden. ## Other Must-See Wanning Delicacies (Related to "Flowers" or "Delicious") While glutinous rice flower is the most popular "delicious flower," Wanning also has other mouth-watering delicacies: 1. **Hele Crab:** A specialty of Wanning's Hele Town, it boasts rich roe and plump meat. The "Hele Roe Crab" is especially noteworthy, with its roe plump like salted duck egg yolk and incredibly delicious. Steaming it best captures its authentic flavor. This seafood classic, unrelated to flowers, is undoubtedly a top-notch delicacy. 2. **Gangbei Prawns:** Harvested from Wanning's Gangbei Small Sea, they are large and delicious, with a firm and chewy texture. They are delicious blanched, salt and pepper, or braised. 3. **Hou'an Vermicelli Noodles:** A signature breakfast dish of Wanning's Hou'an Town. The broth is made with pork bones and seafood, resulting in a rich and flavorful broth. The vermicelli noodles are flat, wide, and smooth. Toppings typically include sliced pork, pig intestines, shrimp, fried shrimp cakes, cilantro, and a sprinkle of pepper. A bowl of this dish is incredibly satisfying. Although there are no flowers, the soup is delicious. 4. **Xinglong Coffee:** At Xinglong Overseas Chinese Farm in Wanning, you can enjoy authentic Southeast Asian coffee. Xinglong coffee has a mellow taste with a hint of chocolate, representing Hainan coffee. Paired with a Southeast Asian pastry, it's a relaxing and enjoyable experience. 5. **Dongshan Mutton:** Although the main production area is further north in Dongshanling (near Wanning), high-quality Dongshan Mutton can also be found in Wanning. Its thin skin and tender meat, with minimal mutton smell, make it perfect for hot pot or braised dishes. 6. **Coconut Products:** Fresh coconut water, coconut jelly, and various coconut pastries (such as **Yiba** - a pastry filled with shredded coconut and peanuts wrapped in glutinous rice wrappers, sometimes also wrapped in leaves, for a soft, sweet, and fragrant taste) are everywhere, filling the air with the aroma of coconut. 7. **Southeast Asian Cuisine:** In Xinglong, thanks to its overseas Chinese culture, you can find a wide variety of Indonesian, Malay, and Thai cuisine, such as curry, satay skewers, and coconut rolls. ## Where to Try Glutinous Rice Pudding and Other Delicacies? * **Local Markets/Street Stalls:** This is the place to try the most authentic glutinous rice pudding! Especially during morning or afternoon tea time, look for local markets (such as those near Wancheng Second Market) or street vendors. Freshly steamed ones are the most fragrant! * **Old Dad's Tea Shop:** In Wanning, Old Dad's Tea Shop isn't just a place for tea; it also offers a wide variety of dim sum snacks, such as glutinous rice pudding, barley cakes, various pastries, and noodle soups. * **Nanyang-style Restaurants/Cafés in Xinglong:** In Xinglong, you can find local snacks like glutinous rice pudding as well as a rich variety of Southeast Asian flavors. **Seafood Stalls:** Near tourist areas like Riyue Bay, Shimei Bay, and Shenzhou Peninsula, as well as in Hele and Gangbei, there are numerous seafood stalls offering fresh Hele crab, Gangbei prawns, and various marine fish. ## Tips for Travelers 1. **Seasonality of Glutinous Rice Pudding:** Turmeric flowers have a specific flowering period, so their freshness is affected by the season. They're usually at their peak when they're in bloom (around the rainy season, but it depends on local conditions), but they can still be found in many places now. Don't hesitate if you come across something fresh! 2. **Try Street Food:** The most authentic delicacies are often hidden in unassuming street stalls and markets. While hygiene may be questionable, the taste is undeniably authentic. 3. **Ask the Locals:** Ask your hotel receptionist, B&B owner, or taxi driver directly; they'll know where to find delicious local snacks and seafood. 4. **Pay attention to seafood prices:** When ordering at seafood stalls, be sure to ask for the price (especially for seasonal seafood) and the pricing method (by kilogram or per piece) to avoid disputes. 5. **Bring a good appetite and curiosity!** Wanning's cuisine is unique and full of tropical flavors, so enjoy it with an open stomach! **Have a wonderful time in Wanning and a satisfying meal!** The glutinous rice flower, a blend of floral and rice aromas, will surely become an unforgettable taste memory of your trip to Wanning. 🌺Wanning's delicious food

At 6:30 pm, I walked along the soft golden sands toward the beach. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the clouds a honey-hued hue. The sea breeze carried a gentle, salty warmth—this was the "Sunset Restaurant" at the Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula. A seafood feast, featuring crayfish, quietly unfolded in the twilight. 🦞A sunset ritual on your tongue. The restaurant's open-air seating overlooked the coastline, where coconut palms swayed gently in the breeze. The long wooden table was laden with silver plates: a mountain of garlic, thirteen-spice, and spicy crayfish. The moment I peeled them open with my fingertips, the sweetness and aroma of the sauce exploded on my lips and teeth. Paired with freshly grilled oysters, beef and mutton skewers, and shrimp, the aroma of charcoal intertwined with the grainy texture of sea salt. Every bite felt like waves dancing on my tongue. Island Specialties We're not limited to crayfish; we also offer Hainanese stir-fries, seafood vinegar, and sashimi. You know the rich flavors of the island. 🍹 A tipple moment, toasting to the sunset. A tipple cocktail blesses you, the sea breeze blows. Listen to the languid jazz of a foreign singer. The silhouette of the triangular church and the shimmering infinity pool in the distance. It feels like a movie set. 🌌 Tips - Time: Recommended arrival time: 6:30 PM, dining from sunset to starlight. Address: Sunset Restaurant, Sheraton Shenzhou Peninsula Resort, Wanning "On a night with an intoxicating sea breeze, even peeling shrimp becomes a poetic ritual." 🌴 #LocalDelicious @CommunityWelfare #ShenzhouPeninsulaIslandPlan #ExploringShenzhouPeninsula #ThePlaceMostCommentedOnFacebook
