My 3-yr-old celebrated dumpling festival at pre-school today and we knew there would be a chance there wouldn’t be vegan dumplings provided. Here comes 5 Green Blossom to the rescue with their healthy and cruelty-free version of the beloved Chinese rice dumpling. Wished we’d gotten one more to try it for ourselves. 😅 #dumplingfestival #ricedumpling #hougang #veganinsingapore #dumplings
Unlike traditional rice dumplings made with sticky glutinous rice, this was made with millet, which gave a slightly nutty flavour and fluffy crunchy mouthfeel (crumbled and fell apart quite easily). 🌾 Stuffed with chestnuts and various types of mushrooms including toothsome lion's mane mushrooms! 🌰🍄 A healthier take on bakzhang / zongzi with wholegrains and without mock meat, though it was understandably significantly different in taste and texture! A special item available during the dragon boat festival weekend~ 🐲🛶 (Allium-free, $4) #sgvegan #chinesefood #alliumfree #womenowned #wholefoodplantbased #wfpb
