Celebrate Dragon Boat Festival with Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant’s Latest Series of Handcrafted Rice Dumplings

The months have whizzed by once again as we approach the halfway mark of 2021, which means it’s almost time for the Dragon Boat Festival in June. It’s also the perfect time to munch on zhong zi (glutinous rice dumplings). Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant brings a tantalising series of five brand new handmade rice dumplings that are curated to excite the taste buds of the whole family – whether you like savoury, spicy, sweet or vegetarian.

The epitome of indulgence, the 5-head Australian Abalone with Iberico & Parma Ham Rice Dumpling ($28 nett) will see your taste buds living in the lap of luxury. One bite of the deliciously fragrant dumpling gives way to a mini feast of 5-head Australian abalone, Iberico, Parma ham, conpoy (dried scallops) and mushrooms — the best of sweet and savoury flavours all wrapped up in this luxurious creation.

Add some spice to the festivities with the Sichuan Pepper Chicken with Lotus Root, Fungus, Peanuts & Mushrooms Rice Dumpling ($14 nett). Inspired by popular ingredients in our beloved mala xiang guo, this fiery flavour bomb comes packed with chunks of chicken thigh meat, lotus root, peanuts and mushroom, all thoroughly marinated in chef’s special in-house mala jiang. You’ll be able to taste the full force of tongue-tingling heat thanks to the Sichuan peppercorns, dried chilli and a dash of chilli oil.

A healthy option using the most premium ingredients around, the back-by-popular-demand Black Truffle 5-Grain Vegetarian Rice Dumpling ($14 nett) is built with a medley of brown rice, oats, sorghum rice, barley and pearl rice. Hidden within the multi-grains are treasures of vegetarian bak kwa, carrots, black fungus, turnip, braised peanuts and cabbage, perfumed by the earthy fragrance of premium black truffle.

No need to search for dessert because the new Honey Red Dates with Salted Green Beans, Red Beans & Melon Candy Rice Dumpling (Vegetarian) ($13 nett) is enough to satiate your sweet tooth. This honeyed treat not only comes loaded with red dates, green beans, red beans, sultanas and melon candy, but tons of nutritional value as well. For instance, the red dates give you boosts of vitamin C while lowering levels of cholesterol, and the sultanas fire up iron levels and aid digestion.

Of course, you can’t forget the classics and Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant didn’t either. Purists will enjoy the Signature Pork & Salted Egg Rice Dumpling, stuffed with glistening juicy pieces of pork and a toothsome salted egg yolk.

All rice dumplings will be available for dine-in and takeaway from 24 May to 14 June 2021. A minimum purchase of four rice dumplings will see your delicious goods packed up in a beautiful gold premium box, making it the perfect gift for business clients, bosses, family or yourself. You can enjoy a 15% discount off this bundle till 14 June 2021. Preorder by calling 6831 4605 or visit http://bit.ly/whricedumplings for more details!
