Dragon boat festival 端午节 is on 25 June this year. You will see many places start selling rice dumpling. I usually eat whatever dumpling my mum threw at me. Just two days ago, I was in NTUC xtra and saw they selling Joo Chiat Kim Choo rice dumpling. You might know this brand as they sell in many places. This rice dumpling is considered well known ba since they did a lot of advertising. So I decided to buy and try. There are many types and flavours. Their signature is salted dumpling that is $5.2 per piece. They also have the egg yolk version at $6. So is it good? The glutinous rice is chewy and the meat filing is soft. Answer is not bad. But I feel $5.20 for a rice dumpling is really too high. It is not really out of this world taste and I feel is about the same as those cheaper version. Disclaimer here is I am not gourmet mouth. I am just a normal mass market fellow taste bud. Also dun bother about the egg yolk version. It is the same with just a small salted egg inside.
Is It Good??
