Indulge in a rich culinary tradition this Dragon Boat Festival with Red Lantern’s exclusive selection of gourmet rice dumplings, available only at Solaire Resort Entertainment City until May 31. Thoughtfully crafted to honor the age-old Chinese celebration, these specialty “zongzi” offer six distinct flavors perfect for gifting or enjoying with family.
Held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates the loyalty and patriotism of Qu Yuan, a revered poet and statesman of the Warring States period. Beyond the iconic dragon boat races, the festival is celebrated by sharing rice dumplings, wearing protective perfume pouches, drinking Realgar wine, and tying colorful silk threads around the wrist to ward off evil spirits.
At Red Lantern, diners can enjoy both sweet and savory takes on the traditional rice dumpling. For those with a sweet tooth, choose from sticky rice dumplings filled with aged tangerine peel and red bean, luscious honey dates, or a nourishing blend of black rice and eight treasure beans—including red bean, mung bean, black-eyed bean, peanut, green pea, barley, and wheat.
Savory enthusiasts can savor bold flavors with rice dumplings filled with 14-head abalone, dried scallop, mung bean, salted egg yolk, barbecue pork, and shiitake mushrooms. Other enticing options include dumplings with braised pork belly, preserved green mustard, and oyster sauce, or a rich combination of salted egg yolk and Chinese-preserved pork.
Beautifully packaged in elegant gift boxes, these artisanal rice dumplings are perfect for sharing heartfelt wishes and celebrating family togetherness during the season.
Visit Red Lantern at Solaire Resort Entertainment City and take part in this timeless tradition of flavor and festivity. Orders are available until May 31. For details, visit solaireresort.com or call 8888-8888.
