HCM CITY – To celebrate the time-honored traditions of the Dragon Boat Festival, Sheraton Saigon Grand Opera Hotel proudly debuts its gourmet sticky rice dumpling collection with signature creations by the Cantonese veteran chefs of Li Bai restaurant. Sticky rice dumplings, also known as zong zi or bak zhang, as well as dragon boat racing, are traditions linked with this festival. In Việt Nam, zong zi can be broadly categorised into Vietnamese style and Chinese style, mainly Southern Chinese-style. The dragon boat dumplings are recommended and best enjoyed with Li Bai’s staple sauce, XO Sauce, freshly-made in house with a gourmet blend of dried scallops, shallots, garlic, chilli, dried shrimp, shrimp roe and more. Dragon boat dumplings are available for purchase from May 9 to June 10 with the tasting booth at the hotel lobby open from 9 am to 8 pm daily.
