I was looking for zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival this year and came across Zongzi Wang. They did not disappoint! Their zongzi are really delicious. The ingredients are generous, and the best part is that they’re not overly oily. My favorite is the meat zongzi, just one is enough to make me feel full and satisfied. It’s perfectly portioned. The service is excellent, staff are friendly and welcoming. Will definitely intro to my friends to come!

This rice dumpling has the most generous filling I've had in JB! I bought it every week. Even my friends I give it also say it's really big.

Biting into this rice dumpling really took me back. The rice is soft and sticky in just the right way—not too mushy, with a nice chew to it. The filling melts into the rice, super flavorful but not too oily. And that subtle bamboo leaf smell? Instantly reminded me of the粽子 my grandma used to make back home. Warm, comforting, and full of memories.

The five spice bak zhang is nice with a good portion of ingredients. Meat inside is pork belly and good quality mushroom. The canto style bak zhang is not salty, and it's also tastes good to my liking.
