This Dragon Boat Festival (25 June 2020), skip the long queues by ordering your favourite rice dumplings online, and have them delivered right to your doorstep.
For many, the Dragon Boat Festival means watching dragon boat races at Boat Quay and making a day of it, but not me. There’s only 1 thing that really excites me about this festival and that is the tradition of enjoying (read: binge eating) rice dumplings (Bah Chang). Served piping hot, rice dumplings are a delicious medley of glutinous rice, marinated meats, beans and, sometimes, salted egg yolk wrapped in bamboo leaves. For those with a finer palate, there are also rice dumplings stuffed with abalone, shrimp, roasted meat and dried scallop.
If the description above has unknowingly made your mouth water, then you’ve most definitely come to the right article. From traditional to healthy and luxurious rice dumplings, here’s our pick of 8 places that deliver rice dumplings right to your doorstep.
