Had this Eight Treasure Congee 八宝粥 in an eatery in the Muslim Quarter of Xi’an. It’s slightly sweet in taste, and has a gooey texture. The congee contains rice grains, raisins, wolfberries, peanuts, red dates, and three other ingredients of which I can’t identify.
I ordered it only because I wanted to try it, but I didn’t really like it. Too gooey and sticky for me. But interesting to know of new food items nonetheless.
