Zongzi is a must-eat tradition during the Dragon Boat Festival.
In China, people have different opinions on whether to eat sweet zongzi or savory zongzi because of cultrual difference.
Do you prefer sweet or savory zongzi?
Sweet zongzi can have fillings like red bean paste, dates and sugar. There are also some innovative flavors, such as fruit jelly zongzi, Starbucks zongzi, and mango pomelo sago-flavored zongzi.
Savory zongzi can have fillings like fresh meat and salted egg yolk. There are also innovative flavors like snail noodles(Luosifen) and abalone and sea cucumber zongzi.
There are also sweet and savory combined zongzi like Nyonya zongzi.

It’s Dragon Boat Festival today! This festival is associated with the story of the patriotic Chinese poet Qu Yuan, who threw himself into the Mi Luo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month when he learnt that his country had fallen to the enemy. It was said that villagers and fishermen tossed rice dumplings into the river to prevent the fishes from eating Qu Yuan’s body.
Nowadays, we commemorate this traditional festival with thrilling dragon boat races and delicious rice dumplings. In Singapore, different dialect and cultural groups offer their own version of rice dumplings, reflecting our unique multiculturalism. There are also healthier choices with less sodium and fat. Do eat in moderation, and I hope you will enjoy the festivities today.

今天是端午节，又到了吃粽子的时候，現在，粽子已經成為華人的一項經典小吃，代表的不只是傳統習俗，更是融入生活中一項美食！
可能很多朋友们不太了解端午节吃粽子是如何得来的，下面由我来给大家科普一下端午吃粽子的寓意和由来！
端午节吃粽子是华人传统习俗，粽子相關的寓意也相當多。例如：
🌟包著紅棗的粽子代表著「年年紅火」、「事事粽(中)意」。
🌟粽子形狀很像春筍冒出頭，代表「家業筍(興)旺」。
🌟包粽諧音「包中」，象徵「上榜高粽(中)」有考試順利的寓意。
🌟 「傳粽(宗)接代」、「粽(中)子」，表示祝福家庭美滿、新婚生子。
🌟「如日粽(中)天」、「百發百粽(中)」
端午节有纪念屈原传说，公元前340年，爱国诗人、楚国大夫屈原，面临**之痛，于五月五日，悲愤地怀抱大石投汩罗江，为了不使鱼虾损伤他的躯体，人们纷纷用竹筒装米投入江中。 以后，为了表示对屈原的崇敬和怀念，每到这一天，人们便用竹筒装米，投江祭奠，这就是我国最早的粽子。
小时候妈妈会包很多粽子给家人和邻居朋友们，她们也会回礼，我能能品尝到很多不一样的味道，很怀念以前一家人一起包粽子的时光，我是最贪吃的，我是一边包一边吃， 我不认真包，每次妈妈都会说从绳子松开的粽子一定是我包的。
我们会从早到晚忙到天黑，很累，不过当看到很多很多粽子时会很开心，很有满足感。
妈妈包的粽子很美味，可惜妈妈很年轻就离开我们了，再也没机会吃到这个妈妈味道的粽子了，很想念在天国的妈妈和亲人。
祝大家端午节安康！
Yes the latter is uncommon in Singapore.
HK dumplings is almost squarish in shape and has yellow mung beans as stuffings.
In Hong Kong, could usually find them at noodle shops, served over a thin layer "cooked" light soya sauce.
More importantly eating dumplings used to be a family affair - my mum made them, my siblings and I ate them, over many many days for both lunch & dinner.
With mum aging and us simplifying our lifestyles, its stripped down off the shelf purchase, nowadays.
Looking back on this day brings back fond memories.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

The best thing about homemade zhongzi is that they are full of all the good stuffs 😋
My favourite zongzi is nyonya zongzi which is savoury, sweet and fragrant with the aroma of spices.
May yoh all huat huat.
I like the original salted version
