In a country that embraces our food culture, Singaporeans often define our celebrations by food.

Just think about it: most of us look forward to feasting during Chinese New Year reunion dinners, visiting our relatives and sharing a meal during Hari Raya celebrations, and so on. Be it nibbling on the likes of gulab jamun and laddoo, or cutting into log cakes, food is one language that all Singaporeans understand.

It’s no wonder then, that we also remember this Chinese festival by the food we consume. The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duan Wu Jie (端午节), might more commonly be known colloquially as ‘Dumpling Festival’. Personally, I always look forward to when stalls and restaurants serve up tightly-wrapped glutinous rice dumplings.

It turns out that Jesling Ang (who’s the original poster) was promoting for her mother, 61-year-old Mok Eng Lan. Previously working as a cabbie, she pressed pause on it amidst COVID-19 concerns.
