Best Rice Dumplings (Bak Chang) in Singapore (2023): The Price Comparison You Need This Dragon Boat Festival
Dragon Boat Festival or Duan Wu Jie (端午节) in Chinese, falls on the 22 June 2023 – the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.
Rice dumplings, also known as Bak Chang (Hokkien), Kueh Zhang (Peranakan), Zong Zi (Mandarin) or Zhong (Cantonese), are triangular parcels of rice wrapped in leaves that we consume on this special occasion.

If someone in your family makes this every year, you are extremely lucky because it takes at least four hours from preparation to cooking the ingredients!
Unless you’re someone who loves cooking, you might be better off buying ready-made ones from restaurants, hotels or Bak Chang businesses.
Here’s a compilation of the 16 places that sell rice dumplings with deliveries and vegetarian options!
TL;DR: 16 Best Rice Dumplings With Deliveries & Vegetarian Options
Just like mooncakes, famous brands are often sold out quickly so you should place your orders early.
Also, with inflation, do expect that some of your go-to brands might experience a price increase.

What Are The Different Types of Bak Changs aka Rice Dumplings?
Traditionally, there are three types of rice dumplings:
- Nyonya – The tip of the Nyonya is frequently blue. There is minced meat in the interior.
- Hokkien – Hokkien dumplings are juicier than Nyonya rice dumplings as the rice absorbs all of the liquids left from the pork belly brimming with fat.
- Sweet – Also known as kee chang, this dumpling is filled with various beans, nuts, dates or simply just the sticky rice and nothing else. It is usually dipped in palm sugar syrup or sugar and is Vegetarian-friendly.
This year’s Dragon Boat Festival (or Dumpling Festival) falls on 22 June 2023 and if you’re a bak chang lover, you should know that placing your orders early is key to getting your favourite bak chang!

How To Save Money When Buying Bak Chang?
Yes, there are ways to save money when you want to buy bak chang, especially the expensive ones from hotels.
1. Get Bundles

You should take a look at the rice dumpling bundles that hotels and restaurants offer.
Even if your family doesn’t eat that many, you can share the dumplings with others. Or, you can jio your neighbours to buy together!
Some bundles also include extra items such as dessert or a dumpling carrier, so make sure to check those out.
2. Join A Rice Dumpling Group-Buy Or Purchase Via Shopping App
Well…we try not to be last minute, but it can’t be helped when life gets busy.
Online shopping apps such as Shopee and Redmart sell rice dumplings and have a group buy offers too!

Some of the famous brands available on Shopee include:
- Sin Mui Heng
- Gin Thye
- Yongle
- Miss A’s Handpick Fine Food
- Joo Chiat Kim Choo
- Tam Kah Rice Dumplings
- Bee Cheng Hiang
- Tunglok
Next, Group Buy is a promotional feature on Shopee that allows you to buy products in a group at lower prices.
You can invite friends and family to join groups that you have created, or simply join an existing group with friends or other Group Buy buyers.
If your group fails to complete the deal at the end of the promotional period, Shopee will close the group and provide a refund to all members who paid.
How to Score A Discount Off Bak Chang Delivery
Besides checking for rice dumpling promo codes, bak chang discounts, or free delivery…
Since you’re buying your rice dumplings online, this means you’ll probably need to use a credit card to make your purchase.
And you know what that means…
By choosing the right credit card, you’ll be able to score a nice discount or maybe some cashback off your bak chang purchase.
This way, we can keep our food expenses low and enjoy our food at the same time.
Enjoy Sharing Rice Dumpling With Family And Friends
Although the Dumpling Festival is not a public holiday in Singapore, this is the time that families and friends come together to enjoy exquisitely handmade sticky rice dumplings.
Pro-tip: Remember to prepare some Chinese tea to counter the rice dumpling’s richness in flavour.
Tell us what’s your favourite rice dumplings and where did you get them from!
