Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner, and I’m sure everyone is looking forward to stuffing themselves silly with delicious dumplings. This year, Crystal Jade is offering four different handmade rice dumplings. How does a spicy ‘mala’ (麻辣) version sound? Brimming with ingredients, each plump bundle is carefully bound and cooked to perfection.

The Mala Rice Dumpling (麻辣肉粽) comes in at $8.80 per piece. We’ll recommend going for the bundle sets that are exclusive to their e-store — $24.80/3 pieces or $39.80/5 pieces. The mala dumplings contain succulent pork shoulder and Spanish pork collar pieces marinated in a proprietary ‘malt’ blend comprising Szechuan peppercorns, a mix of dried chillies and chilli oil. The dumplings are studded with sweet chestnuts, salted egg yolk and mung beans.

The Assorted Mushroom with Pork Belly Dumpling (三姑六婆粽) is also a new addition! Each dumpling is priced at $7.80 but you can get three for $21.80 or five for $36.80 on their e-store. Shitake, king oyster and white button mushrooms have been selected for their flavour and texture, and the mix lends a lovely earthy aroma to the little parcel of joy which also holds sweet chestnuts, salted egg yolk and mung beans.

This dumpling is packed with a 10-head braised abalone, BBQ roasted pork, BBQ roasted duck, dried scallops, shitake mushrooms, sweet chestnuts, salted egg yolk and mung bean.

Last but definitely not least, savour the Rice Dumpling with Five Spice Marinated Pork (五香咸肉粽) at $7.80, or grab 3 for $21.80 and 5 for $36.80 on the e-store. Moist and savoury, this classic rice dumpling bears the unmistakeable fragrance of five-spice powder.
