Black rice known as Forbidden Rice much like the texture of pulut hitam used in porridge or more commonly desserts in this part of the world, is the main staple for this risotto. The pan seared scallops, squid and ikura really comes together like a medley of the ocean. The mustard (sour pak choy) used has too rich a sour element. But otherwise the texture is really what I like, the kind of comfort wholesome feel - even the emperor in the Forbidden City will be delighted.
