In a matter of days, we will celebrate the renowned Dragon Boat Festival that falls on Friday, 19 June May 2026 this year. During this time, there are a number of delicious dishes in Chinese cuisine served. One of which is the famous 'Rice Dumpling', ‘Bacang’ or ‘Bakcang’ or ‘Zongzi’ in the original Chinese. It is a rice dumpling made out of rice or glutinous rice, wrapped in bamboo leaves to form a pyramid shape that is tied with plant stems.
There are also a number of different fillings available, such as egg yolk, lotus seeds, ham, red bean paste, chestnut, and pork. Some places even make mixed sweet and savory fillings for an ultimate treat.
With this list, we help you find the delectable rice dumplings in Jakarta. We hope that it will satisfy your craving for rice dumplings.
