Coconut rice is made by filling the coconut shells with glutinous rice and meat, and steaming them together with coconut meat and juice, so that the rice absorbs the fresh aroma and sweetness of the coconut, creating a unique taste and flavor. This characteristic is reflected in the name of the dish, which is also known as "coconut rice".

The traditional cuisine of coconut rice not only demonstrates Hainan's rich natural resources, but also reflects the wisdom of the local people in the creative use of ingredients and the unique charm of food culture.
