Din Tai Fung presents: Red Bean Rice Dumplings in June 2013

Celebrate Dragon Boat Festival in June with Din Tai Fung’s ever-popular Red Bean Rice Dumplings, specially air-flown from Taiwan to grace this festival.

As opposed to the classic tetrahedral shape that we are accustomed to, Din Tai Fung’s Red Bean Rice Dumpling presents itself in a cylindrical (pillow) shape, wrapped tightly in bamboo leaves that instil fragrance in every tacky grain of rice.

The fragrance of the bamboo leaves permeates the air as you unwrap the dumpling.

I’ve sampled a great deal of savoury rice dumplings, from those with conventional and modest fillings to the luxurious ones, but this has got to be my first time tasting one with a sweet filling. I envisioned myself finding the combination too bizarre for my taste buds, but it took me by surprise as I took subsequent bites. It grows on me.

The dumplings are made with Taiwanese top-grade pearl rice, encasing a generous filling of red bean paste that aren’t cloyingly sweet. They are also nutritionally rich in vitamins and fibre.

Red Bean Rice Dumplings are priced at $5 per piece at Marina Bay Sands & Resorts World Sentosa, $4.80 per piece at all other outlets.

Receive a complimentary Red Bean Rice Dumpling with a minimum spend of $90.
