Bak Chang Delivery 2020: Restaurants & Hawkers that Send Glutinous Rice Dumplings to Your Doorstep
It’s probably true that fewer Singaporeans wrap their own glutinous rice dumplings with the passing of each generation. However, that’s not to say we don’t enjoy them anymore. After all, what’s not to love in those leafy bundles of sticky rice packed with scrumptious fillings? With bak chang to suit every budget — and palate — available for takeaway and delivery this rice dumpling season, you and your loved ones can savour this traditional Chinese delicacy without cooking a single grain yourself. Unless you choose to, of course!
P.S. Rice Dumpling Festival a.k.a. Dragon Boat Festival a.k.a. 端午节 (duān wǔ jié) falls on 25 June 2020, so start ordering up those yummy parcels!
