The sounds of raw grains of rice clattering into a bowl make up some of my most nostalgic memories - that and the subsequent alarm at realizing I had forgotten it was my turn in the family to cook rice that night. Rice plays such a huge part in cuisines in my food, being a staple of my nightly dinners. Often I wondered why we were neglecting the other grains and carbs of the food pyramid and would often crave pasta and sandwiches. Then college came and suddenly there was anything but rice, which was fine with me. Until it wasn’t. Years passed and suddenly my wishes for bread and dishes became longings for rice meals. This led me to embark on food adventures to find the best rice dishes. My favorite thing to share on Google Maps are places with the best rice dishes. The ones that remind me of home are the ones a treasure the most- a quick meal of rice with fatty savory duck or rice drenched in a stir fried beef. The best part is that I also get to see how prevalent rice is in many other cultures and get to see how universal of an ingredient this is. Sharing these restaurants on Google Maps widens the community of people who I get to share my love of food discoveries with.
