I got these rice dumplings from a roadside stall at Restoran DU Cafe, Dataran Sunway. This uncle sells local kuih and cakes but on this particular weekend, his table was loaded with bak changs and nothing else.

There are several varieties of sticky rice dumplings out there ranging from sweet to savoury - my favourite is those with meat filling, like the one pictured below.

I don't think I've ever tasted a bak chang I didn't like so I'm warning you now - I should be the last person you think of to ask for an opinion on where to get the best. Haha!
We are like dumplings. We have different ingredients in us. That's what makes us a dumpling. That's what makes us unique - Ryan Hu
Happy Dumpling Day!
端午节快乐！The dumplings look so delicious. Wish I could grab one right out of the screen :-)
ReplyDeleteOhhh..you have no idea how many times I wished the same when I see your food posts! ^.^
DeleteNice saying by Ryan Hu.
ReplyDeleteHappy Dumpling's Festival.
Nowadays you can get dumpling anywhere anytime. No need to wait for special occasion to enjoy it. Haha.
True. I love getting the big ones from pasar malams! ^.^
DeleteHappy Dumpling Festival...
ReplyDeleteI almost forgot about the festival till I saw post about it...
Have not eaten any chang, must go buy and eat it...
Same here. So many people were posting about it that it's hard not to know! ^.^
DeleteI am a great fan of bak chang, just like those in your picture. When I was younger, I could eat a few in one sitting! Glutton me! Now, I have to control and eat only one!
ReplyDeleteSame here, Nancy! It tastes so yummy, it's easy to overeat ;)
DeleteSame with Nancy, when I was younger, I can eat more, now if eat more, will feel bloated...
DeleteHaha ..see the number of times we used the word 'same'? Just proves we are same-same kind of people. ^.^
DeleteOh boy, can't believe I'm missing dumpling festival.
ReplyDeleteThe festival is so much more than the food but for me, that's enough ;)
DeleteI also manage to get 2 dumplinngs last week
ReplyDeleteMum said the price getting more expensive but the meat given not much
True. Food prices are slowly going up. Nothing's going down.
DeleteMy mom makes the best bak chang :D
ReplyDeleteEeee... lucky you! ^.^
DeleteI'm a sucker for bak chang, but gotta have salted egg-yolk! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat's the oomph in bak changs, I agree!
DeleteI was in Hong Kong during this festival and found that our Malaysian Chinese celebrate this on bigger scale.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's because our elders miss their roots and they ensure that we, the younger generation, do not forget it!
DeleteI think you are correct. We bought a bag of big sized HKG Bak Chang to give a relative who hosted a dinner in a restaurant. He was so touched and very surprised to receive Bak Chang. His looks gave us a bigger surprise to guess that in HKG, nobody bother to home-make them anymore or even give friends practice. They probably buy for own consumption.
