Every year, we see different flavours of dumplings introduced and this year was no different. Rice dumplings, stuffed with luxe ingredients like black pepper crab meat, quinoa, foie gras, abalone and even plant-based meat apart from the usual salted egg yolks, pork belly, and chestnuts.
Mr. Makansutra himself, KF Seetoh, share his views with Lynlee Foo about this trend of rice dumplings with newfangled flavours and fillings.
