21 Happy Dumpling Festival!

Dumpling Day is here and typical me purchased a few to savour. I like joining in the fun! I do the same for Mooncake Day and have my tang yuans on Winter Solstice Festival.

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!

  4. I 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!

  9. I was in Hong Kong during this festival and found that our Malaysian Chinese celebrate this on bigger scale.

    1. Maybe it's because our elders miss their roots and they ensure that we, the younger generation, do not forget it!

    2. I 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.
