- Dumpling Festival Bazaar @ Waterloo Street #端午节 #Dragon Boat Festival
Do you know the difference between Nonya, Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese and Vegetarian rice dumplings? This video will show you.
The Dumpling Festival, also known as the Dragon Boat Festival, is an annual celebration held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It’s a time when people enjoy delicious rice dumplings, participate in dragon boat races, and honor the memory of the ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan.
In this video we visit the Dumpling Festival Bazaar at Waterloo Street. Let's listen to some of the vendors introducing their best selling dumplings. Note that Singapore City Walks is not promoting any of the stalls there. We are just sharing information of the various types of rice dumplings out there.

Very odd - throwing dumplings in a river to supposedly scare away fish from a dead body (which is not found), somehow turns into a festival of eating dumplings at a specific time. It seemed to be mainly older people buying the dumplings, so maybe this is not a tradition that appeals greatly to younger people. Will you be showing the dragon boat racing?
Qu Yuan was a renowned poet and his suicide was recorded in China's history. So I think the throwing of dumplings to feed the fishes may have some truth in it. This practice of eating rice dumplings and dragon boat racing has survived centuries and is still practiced today. Dragon boat racing has become International events with Western countries taking part.
You are right that older folks are the ones buying the dumplings. I hope this tradition will live on. My dragon boat racing video last year was well received. However, this year, I will be travelling in Sichuan and will miss the races in Singapore.
Wow .... I am watching all these beautiful festivals through your videos ......very nice dumpling festival ....thanks for sharing👍👍👍

I just had some rice dumpling yesterday. It’s very delicious but very filling 👍🏼😆
Are rice dumplings easily available in Canada? Do you have different flavours like those in this video?
@@SingaporeCityWalks yes the Asian supermarket sells it. It’s most similar to those ones you showed 😁💜 which is a good thing. Canada is getting more multicultural for sure 👍🏼
The always vibrant Waterloo Street seems to be even more lively with the Dumpling Festival Bazaar.
In preparation for the Dragon Boat Race, many dumplings are lined up as a tribute to tradition.
The video camera captures the shopkeepers diligently explaining their products, and you can feel the essence of your video style in their communication!☝️✨
Yosh and Iku
Thank you Yosh and Iku for your comment. There are so many different flavours of rice dumplings. There's even a difference in the wrappings which I did not know till now. I first asked the young lady to introduce her vegetarian dumplings. On seeing her enthusiasm, I decided to ask the older vendors to introduce theirs. To my surprise, they were so friendly and obliging. So instead of simply showing dumplings all wrapped up and looking similar (except for the coloured strings), this video is able to show the different types of dumplings through the explanation by the vendors. 😀
looks like there are a plethora of flavours of bak chang sold at Waterloo Street including the lotus paste, black pepper chicken and Nyonya pulut hitam changs. it's interesting to feature a rice dumpling wrapped in a fragrant pandan leaf that gives out a pleasant aroma upon boiling.
The selection of Bak Changs at Waterloo Street suits all budgets. From the affordable ones to the more pricey ones. Most of the vendors were happy to be recorded as they understand that this will in some way raise their profile. I have yet to try the bak changs wrapped in pandan leaves and the sweet-salty ones. There are so many types there.
Still prefers the traditional flavour ❤
Don’t like used rafia strings 😂
@@LeedonLee I don’t think any vendor will use used raffia strings.
My favorite is Hokkian Bak Chang ❤
My favourite is the Nonya ones. A little bit sweet is nice.
I don’t like rafia string 😂
Thanks for watching!
Mouth watering. I just completed a 3-month walk in Taiwan.
It’s turning Japanese. All newer foodcourts are Japanese. For those Chinese who like to travel Japan, may think Taiwan, much much cheaper.
Singapore is trying to maintain its Chineseness. Dragon boat festival is very Chinese, a patriotic poet as shown in the walk video.
Nyonya dumpling not my favorite but the Bakchang is very good. Chinese in that region make good dumplings.
Wow, 3 months in Taiwan. Where were you during the earthquake? I went there, a week after the earthquake. Saw many Japanese stores there. The Qing Dynasty ceded Taiwan (Formosa) to Japan from 1895 to 1945. So it's not surprising to see many Japanese establishment there.

We were in Taoyuan during earthquake,quite a shock, buildings damaged in Hualien. Somewhat same as the SF I experienced.
About the ‘Japanese things’ even many Taiwanese smart guys don’t understand.
I covered temples, traditional markets, street food, underground mall for my wife to shop her dresses. And, the temple festivals!
I have been to Taiwan in 1978, saw ‘Republic of China’ in glorious days and now vanishing.
Walk video is a great life experience. By walking we get to know the places much much better. Walk the talk. Videos refresh memory as we exercise through the streets.
With latest 3axis camera, video while walking is so easy.
Past 2 years I covered Msia/Spore, thorough. This year Taiwan, next year mainland including Hong Kong.
@@marktan3668 Just visited your channel. You have made many walking tour videos. It's good to see the daily lives of people on the streets. I'll go through some of them when I am free. Going to Sichuan for 2 weeks this coming monday.
