The feted Duanwu Festival is back, and so are the coveted ba zhang creations we can't get enough of
This year’s Dragon Boat Festival falls on June 7, and you have about two weeks to find the perfect rice dumplings to be shared with families and friends. With all the options out there, ranging from classic offerings to new creations, we shortlist the ones that have caught our fancy.
1. Eight treasures dumpling with mixed grains
Chef Mok Kit Keung puts his imaginative spin on this healthy creation, first by presenting it in a bamboo tube instead of the usual bamboo leaves. This is filled with an array of ingredients including organic quinoa, cordycep flowers, red dates and wolfberries, then steamed for four hours to infuse the dumpling with the delightful nuances of the bamboo. Available online until June 4; collection and in-store purchase are available until June 7.
