With the approaching Dragon Boat Festival on June 10, a quintessential part of celebrating the holiday revolves around enjoying rice dumplings. These festive treats come in savoury or sweet forms, but both options are equally popular. While most people prefer to stick to tried-and-true flavours, some opt for creative spins of this festive dish.
