Description #
Plain steamed white rice (although, really, it’s boiled), usually served in small bowls, or a big bowl from which it is served in small bowls.
Characters #
白 is white, and 飯 is rice (cooked), so 白飯 is white rice.
Rice is so intrinsic to Chinese cuisine that 食飯 (sihk faahn), eat rice, generally means to have a meal (specifically, a Chinese meal).
