Steamed rice made by my sweet neighbor

My neighbor, a nice older woman, gave us a lot of home made steamed sticky rice with date plums inside and wrapped with bamboo leaves. It is called 粽子(zong zi).
In the northern area of China, they cook it with sweet taste. In the Southern area, it’s salty tasting. The one I got was not too sweet and yummy! I love this steamed sticky rice! Thanks ayi~. (Ayi: older woman)
Because my husband and I like talking to local people in our apartment area, we make friends and sometimes we can enjoy good stuff like this… steamedrice
