I seem to eat fried glutinous rice only at Chinese wedding dinners. The dish is delicious but by the time it is served, usually the last course before the desserts, I'm too full to enjoy it – and I always want to save room for the crisp red bean pancake and chilled sea coconut with longan!

But fried glutinous rice isn't uncommon – it is usually one of the offerings for dim sum, served in domes moulded by pressing the rice into little bowls.
