Chinese would never agree with you. The best rice comes from the South. (I dont necessarily agree but it’s a strong stereotype that I often heard in my 6 years there).

There is an old Chinese saying that goes Live in Hangzhou, marry in Suzhou, dine in Guangzhou, and die in Luzhou.

My grandpa's side grew up in southern China, so that's what I originally thought.

But my wife is from way northeast, and I had to begrudgingly admit that I do like the rice from up there better.
