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.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
