Today is 端午节 , a festival which is mostly commonly known to commemorate the death of the poet cum minster Qu Yuan in Singapore local context. How the rice dumpling came about is that people drops the sticky rice balls into the river in bid to save the body of Qu Yuan from being eaten.
In Singapore. there are many flavours of the rice dumpling. The types that are commonly found would be Bak zhang and nonya flavour.
I love the bak zhang the most .... so each year i look forward to eat the bak zhang from my grand auntie. Cos her bak zhang consist of salted egg yolk, chest nut, mushroom and pork belly.
