It’s that time of the year again — when the rich aroma of tradition fills the air and every bite tells a story! This Dragon Boat Festival, elevate your celebrations with the luxurious and limited-edition artisanal rice dumplings specially curated by the esteemed Shang Palace, Shangri-La Singapore.
Each dumpling is a masterpiece, handcrafted with premium ingredients and thoughtfully wrapped in bamboo and lotus leaves — a beautiful harmony of heritage and modern flair. This year’s selection is nothing short of indulgent, with new and bold flavour pairings that are bound to surprise and delight.
Please note that the dumplings are delivered in frozen form. Each package includes clear steaming instructions, a list of ingredients, and a reminder to consume within 7 days from the date of purchase.
Red Fermented Bean Curd Pork Belly and Peanut Rice Dumpling (南乳花生腩肉粽, $29.90, 500g)
Rich, savoury — this dumpling is generously filled with melt-in-your-mouth pork belly marinated in red fermented bean curd, crunchy peanuts, and glutinous rice that’s perfectly infused with flavour. It’s deeply satisfying and a hit for my parents!
Sweetened Purple Rice Dumpling with Homemade Kaya (紫米咖椰流心粽, $19.90, 280g)
This one truly surprised me! Imagine a luscious "lava" textured kaya filling nestled within beautifully sticky purple rice — slightly sweet, aromatic, and silky smooth. The balance is so good; it’s not overly sweet and the kaya blends so harmoniously with the rice. A must-try for dessert dumpling lovers!
Shang Palace Signature Barbecued Pork Rice Dumpling with Yunnan Ham and Conpoy (香宫金华火腿瑶柱裹蒸粽, $32.90, 650g)
A timeless classic reimagined. Wrapped in bamboo and lotus leaves, this elegant, pillow-shaped dumpling combines the savoury barbecued pork, the depth of Yunnan ham, and the delicate touch of conpoy (dried scallop). The taste is beautifully layered yet light, ideal for those who prefer a more refined, less savoury profile.
Truffle Pork Belly with Salted Egg Yolk Rice Dumpling (松露咸蛋肉粽, $24.90, 280g)
This is absolutely delicious! The tender pork belly is soft and flavourful, and the addition of salted egg yolk paired with a subtle truffle fragrance brings the whole dumpling to life. I didn’t know truffle and pork could match this well — a bold and creative twist!
Honestly, I’m torn between the Truffle Pork Belly and the Sweetened Purple Rice Kaya Dumpling — both so different, both so indulgent. Meanwhile, my parents are already asking for more of the Red Fermented Bean Curd Pork Belly and Peanut one!
No matter which flavour you choose, each dumpling from Shang Palace promises a luxurious celebration of taste, tradition, and craftsmanship. Whether you’re indulging on your own, gifting to loved ones, or sharing over a festive meal, these artisanal creations are a true highlight of the season. Don’t wait too long — these exquisite dumplings are available for a limited time only, and they’re definitely worth it.
