In celebration of Saturday’s Dragon Boat Festival, Eaton HK’s Michelin-starred Yat Tung Heen is offering two rice dumpling gift sets created by chef Tam Tung. Grab a deluxe whole abalone rice dumpling with conpoy or, for a plant-based alternative, try the OmniPork vegetarian rice dumpling. Both are available until Friday.

Michelin-starred Man Ho Chinese Restaurant at the JW Marriott Hotel, meanwhile, is offering two of its own zongzi gift sets, also available until Friday. Try the red bean and pork glutinous rice dumpling – it’s made with a subtly sweet Japanese red bean paste.

For those late to the game, Pak Loh Chiu Chow Restaurant is presenting two signature dumplings, available until June 8: the classic deluxe whole abalone rice dumpling, and a sweet taro and ginkgo rice dumpling.
