An attendant brought over a steaming half-bowl of Eight-Treasure Porridge to Han Guishan, who took the first bite.
Upon tasting, it was exceptionally savory.
The stuffing, mixed with cooking and sesame oils, was probably seasoned with dried shrimp or some special blend of spices. Accompanied by the Eight-Treasure Porridge, Guishan gobbled up the nearly six-centimeter-long roll in just a few bites.

8.4 points.
