Bak Chang is no longer a festive food these days though many more people tend to eat it on the rice dumpling/ dragon boat festival (which falls on the 5th day of the 5th month of the lunar calendar).

Nonya chang (娘惹粽) is a version created by the Peranakan community. A Nonya-style bak chang is a sweet and savoury type of bak chang (a tad more sweet than salty, but not overly so) and it is my preferred choice of bak chang as well.

And when it comes to Nonya chang, Kim Choo Kueh Chang comes to mind as they are most well-known for their Nonya rice dumplings.

Their sticky rice is fragrant, tasty and well-cooked; soft with grains that are almost indistinguishable, but not mushy. They diced up the lean pork (filling) for better texture and I prefer this to minced up pork filling. I really like the sweetness level in their Nyonya rice dumplings from the candied winter melon added and the wonderful flavour from the Chinese five spice powder that is used to flavour the fillings.

I used to think that all glutinous rice taste the same until I tried the ones from Daun Rice Dumplings. 🤦🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️
And btw, Kim Choo Traditional Rice Dumplings is not the same (company) as Kim Choo Kueh Chang!

Kim Choo Kueh Chang's Nonya chang is absolutely delicious!
