"For many, this is the gold standard for rice dumplings or bak zhang (Hokkien for rice dumplings) as they are known to the locals. For over 50 years, Hoo Kee Bak Chang has been hawking traditional Hokkien-style bak zhangs to Singaporeans. What makes it decidedly Hokkien is the technique of stir-frying the grains of glutinous rice with five-spice powder and dark soy sauce before cooking." - Alethea Tan
