Joo Chiat Kim Choo: Commemorates The Dragon Boat Festival
Get ready to celebrate the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival with a true taste of Singapore’s heritage! We’re talking about the “Golden Pearl of Joo Chiat” herself, Joo Chiat Kim Choo, known as Singapore’s number one maker and preserver of Chinese rice dumplings!
Steeped in history, Joo Chiat Kim Choo carries on an 80-year-old traditional recipe passed down through generations. Their delicious rice dumplings (or bak chang!) are expertly crafted using a guarded recipe of 22 ingredients and spices and are lovingly hand-wrapped – you can truly taste the legacy!
This year, their offerings pay delightful tribute to Singapore’s diverse heritage, featuring dumplings representing the four largest Chinese ethnic groups:
- Teochew Rice Dumpling
- Hokkien Rice Dumpling with Salted Egg Yolk
- Cantonese Bean Rice Dumpling
- Hakka Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables Rice Dumpling
And of course, a household name like Joo Chiat Kim Choo is synonymous with amazing Peranakan delights, including their signature Nyonya Rice Dumpling, the unique Pulut Hitam Nyonya Rice Dumpling, and the grand Emperor’s Rice Dumpling!
They’re also bringing back a touch of old-school charm, featuring familiar daily tearable calendars alongside their dumplings – remember those from the old coffee shops?
Looking for the perfect gift? They have eight different elegant gift sets available, including the impressive Emperor’s Heirloom Gift Set (28), the lovely Five Royal Stars Gift Set (6), and Petite Treasures Sets starting from just 9.30.
Mark your calendars! These festive treats will be available from April 15th to June 1st, 2025. You can find them at the Joo Chiat Kim Choo’s Flagship Store at 77 Circuit Road, at over 20 pop-up stores islandwide, and conveniently online at www.joochiatkimchoo.com.sg
