Chinese rice dumplings are on everybody's table in China when it comes to the Dragon Boat Festival. The dumplings are pyramid-like and are made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. Here are the most popular flavors of Chinese rice dumplings that nobody can say NO to!

1. Salted Duck Yolk With Pork Rice Dumpling

This is definitely my favorite flavor. First, the colors just look so match up and I can't help eating two or more every time. The combination of the yolk and pork blends in the mouth and gives me the feeling of both the softness of the egg yolk and also the chewable of the pork. The soy sauce that soaked the rice before also adds strong flavor. Especially with the pleasant smell of the bamboo wrap, the whole thing just tastes like a masterpiece.

2. Red Bean Paste Rice Dumpling

This kind of rice dumpling's rice is not pre-soaked with soy sauce. It won't make sense to mix the taste of saltiness and sweetness, because that would make it so awkward. However, the bamboo leaves' faint smell adds up and still makes it a duo enjoyment. You first smell it, and then you want to try it. The sweetness of the red bean is fully developed with the "sandy" texture when you eat it. It's the best choice if you want to add a little sweetness after the meal.

3. Abalone Rice Dumpling

This rice dumpling is probably one of the most luxurious dumplings. Merchandises usually never put abalones alone. They like to add other seafood or expensive mushrooms with the abalones to make it more delicious and also to sell it at a much higher price. However, I would say the taste is always worth the price. The taste of the abalone and other ingredients are just so soft that you just want to swallow them. The soy sauce used in this kind of dumpling is also different from others. It usually has more layers of taste and blends with the smell of the bamboo leave more thorough. If you crave for something that is limited or luxurious, this rice dumpling is definitely your dish.

4. Ice Cream Rice Dumpling

Yeah, that's right your eyes didn't lie to you or anything. Here it is, it's the ice cream rice dumpling. Honestly, I don't know how and why people come up with this idea of putting ice cream into the rice dumplings, but you have to admit that this idea is really creative and it really got me when I first saw it.

The rice in the original dumplings is replaced by the crystal-like ice rind that is totally transparent. The inside is sorbet-like ice cream with different flavors. Actually, I think the business that first comes up with this idea is Starbucks. They copyrighted their ice cream dumplings and named them the Starbucks Dragon Dumplings. However, they are designed specifically for China area.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
