    dragon boat zongzi with tea and red dates around it

    For those who don’t know, Dragon Boat Festival, or Tuen Ng, might just feel like another public holiday, but there is a fascinating history behind it. As per the legend, Qu Yuan, known for his poetry and his love for his country, drowned himself in protest of the corruption during China‘s first feudal dynasties. The villagers raced out in their boats, throwing sticky rice dumplings into the river to keep fish and evil spirits away as they searched for his body for a proper burial.

    Thus began the traditions of dragon boat racing and eating rice dumplings on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. To this day, you can enjoy traditional glutinous rice dumplings called zongzi (‘joong’ in Cantonese or ‘bak chang’ in Hokkien dialect) during Dragon Boat Festival. Want to find the best zongzi in town? Read on ahead!
