Eight kinds of materials are used in the rice, hence the name, but now the materials are not as beautiful as they were at the beginning. The recipes in different places are similar. Basically, steamed glutinous rice is mixed with sugar, oil and osmanthus, poured into a container filled with red dates, coix seed, lotus seeds, longan and other fruit materials, steamed and then poured into the sugar marinade. It tastes sweet and is a good holiday and hospitality.
