The Fullerton Hotel Rice Dumplings 2025: Local Inspired Flavours

This May, something extraordinary is steaming up at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore — and it is not just your average Dragon Boat Festival fare. From 10 to 31 May 2025, you and your loved ones are invited to celebrate the season with the Jade Classics Rice Dumpling Collection, a curated ensemble of traditional favourites and new-age delights conceived by Chinese Executive Chef Leong Chee Yeng of Jade. In a special nod to SG60, this year’s lineup includes a hawker-inspired dumpling that reimagines local comfort food with refined flair.

A Hawker Icon, Reinvented: The Chicken Satay Rice Dumpling

Leading the collection is a brand-new culinary gem that will stir your heart and appetite — the Chicken Satay Rice Dumpling (S$22 nett). Infused with the nostalgic flavours of Singapore’s bustling hawker centres, this dumpling wraps tender chicken thigh, king oyster mushrooms, and poached peanuts in fragrant glutinous rice, all generously coated in house-made satay sauce. One bite, and you are transported to a balmy night of skewers and stories shared under twinkling fairy lights.

This creation is not just a celebration of flavour but also a tribute to Singapore’s rich multicultural identity, reflecting the spirit of SG60 — Singapore’s 60th birthday — through one of its most beloved dishes, reinvented with elegance and heart.

Heritage Flavours Return in Full Glory

Chef Leong’s collection would not be complete without beloved classics that have graced generations of Dragon Boat Festival tables. This year’s returning favourites include:

• Nyonya Blue Pea Rice Dumpling (S$18 nett), filled with minced pork, mushrooms, and candied winter melon, inspired by Peranakan traditions and floral elegance.

• Hokkien Salted Egg Yolk and Pork Rice Dumpling (S$18 nett), a hearty blend of braised pork, salted egg yolk, chestnuts, and mushrooms, offering soulful, slow-cooked comfort.

• Red Bean Gula Melaka Rice Dumpling (S$16 nett per pair), a dainty dessert option with smooth azuki red bean paste sweetened gently with Gula Melaka, providing the perfect sweet finish.

Signature Splendour: The Hong Kong-style Abalone Treasures Rice Dumpling

For those seeking grandeur in every bite, the Traditional Hong Kong-style Abalone Treasures Rice Dumpling (S$58 nett) is a true masterpiece. Lavishly filled with two South African ten-head abalones, roast duck, pork belly, dried scallops, salted egg yolk, lotus seeds, black mushrooms, mung beans, dried shrimp, and chestnuts, this magnificent parcel offers a celebration meal best enjoyed with your family or gifted to someone special.

Plant-Based Indulgence: The Truffle and Trio Mushroom Dumpling

Vegetarians, rejoice. The Truffle and Trio Mushroom Five-grain Rice Dumpling (S$20 nett) makes a grand return, blending truffle paste, king oyster mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, black mushrooms, chestnuts, five-grain rice, and plant-based meat. Every bite delivers a rich, umami-packed experience, proving that indulgence can be both nourishing and delicious.
