Eastern Rice Dumpling

Eastern Rice Dumpling specializes in zongzi (glutinous rice dumplings)—the traditional food associated with Dragon Boat Festival but enjoyed year-round by enthusiasts. The shop prepares various styles including Hokkien, Cantonese, Nyonya, and innovative flavors, each with distinct fillings and preparations.

Traditional versions feature savory pork, mushrooms, chestnuts, and salted egg yolk wrapped in bamboo leaves and steamed for hours until rice achieves sticky, fragrant perfection. The labor-intensive preparation makes purchasing from specialists more practical than home preparation.

Operating daily 9 AM-9:30 PM ensures availability beyond festival seasons. For those craving zongzi year-round or families maintaining festival food traditions without intensive home cooking, Eastern Rice Dumpling preserves cultural foods with authentic preparation and convenient access.
