If there’s one thing that truly captures the warmth and nostalgia of local festive food traditions in Singapore, it’s the scent of a steaming hot bak zhang—those fragrant glutinous rice dumplings we look forward to every Dragon Boat Festival. Now, Tai Cheong Bakery is bringing back that sense of joy with a special deal that’s hard to resist.
From 19 April 2025 onward, Tai Cheong Bakery is offering their beloved Fragrant Bak Zhang for just $6.80 each—and they’ve packed it full of flavour and tradition. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of bak zhang or someone who just enjoys the occasional bite of local heritage, this promotion is definitely one to look out for. Here’s why this limited-time offer is worth checking out—and maybe sharing with a few loved ones too.
What Makes This Bak Zhang Special?
Tai Cheong Bakery may be better known for their iconic Hong Kong-style egg tarts, but they’ve managed to work the same magic into their seasonal dumpling offering. Their Fragrant Bak Zhang isn’t your average dumpling. Each one is lovingly hand-wrapped in aromatic bamboo leaves and filled with an exquisite combination of savoury, sweet, and umami ingredients that make every bite memorable.
Inside, you’ll find:
-
Tender pork belly that melts in your mouth
-
Aromatic shiitake mushrooms that bring earthiness and depth
-
Golden salted egg yolk, rich and satisfying
-
Sweet chestnut to balance the savoury notes
-
Savory Chinese sausage (lap cheong) adding a touch of sweetness
-
Umami-packed dried shrimp for a burst of seafood richness
-
All wrapped in fragrant glutinous rice, steamed to perfection
It’s a comforting and nostalgic treat that doesn’t skimp on ingredients or quality—and at just $6.80, it’s a delightful indulgence that feels like a true bargain.
Why Go for This Deal?
Here in Singapore, bak zhang is more than just food—it’s a tradition, a celebration, and a symbol of togetherness. Many of them grew up eating these festive rice dumplings prepared by parents or grandparents. Now, with the fast-paced nature of urban life, it’s not always easy to make them from scratch or even find authentic ones.
Tai Cheong Bakery’s dumpling ticks all the right boxes for those looking for a shortcut to tradition without compromising on quality. They’ve taken the care and time to ensure their Fragrant Bak Zhang embodies that handmade, homestyle feel, so all they have to do is pick it up from any of their 10 outlets and enjoy.
At just $6.80, it’s an affordable way to treat yourself—or your family—to something genuinely satisfying. You could enjoy it for lunch, bring it along for a potluck, or keep it as a surprise treat for the weekend. And since it’s available at all 10 of their outlets, there’s probably one conveniently located near you.
A Celebration Worth Sharing
Whether you celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival or simply love a good dumpling, this promotion is a great excuse to share a little food and joy with others. The Fragrant Bak Zhang is great for gifting as well—especially for older relatives who’ll appreciate the traditional recipe and thoughtful packaging.
With so many ingredients inside each dumpling, it’s actually more filling than it looks. Some might find that one is enough for a meal on its own. The blend of savoury pork, egg yolk, and mushroom in sticky rice makes for a fulfilling, aromatic experience that doesn’t require any extra sauces or condiments.
Stock Up While You Can
Like all good things, this is a seasonal item and available only while stocks last. Once the season’s over or demand outpaces supply, they’ll be gone—and you might have to wait till next year to get a taste again.
If you’re planning to stock up, it’s best to call ahead to your nearest Tai Cheong Bakery outlet or drop by early. And since each dumpling is individually packed, they’re great for bringing to the office, gifting to neighbours, or simply keeping a few in the fridge for late-night cravings.
Where to Get Them
The promotion is valid at all 10 Tai Cheong Bakery outlets across Singapore, including popular shopping areas and transport hubs—making it easy to grab one whether you’re on your lunch break, heading home, or out on the weekend with family.
Some of the outlets are conveniently located at Takashimaya, Marina Square, Northpoint City, and even Changi Airport. So even if you’re travelling or catching a flight, you could easily pick one up as a handy snack or thoughtful gift.
A Simple Joy in a Fast-Paced World
These days, with so many modern options and global food trends, it’s comforting to come back to something that’s familiar and steeped in culture. Tai Cheong Bakery has done a wonderful job bringing that sense of tradition to their customers, and their Fragrant Bak Zhang is more than just a seasonal item—it’s a reminder of flavours many of them grew up with.
The smell of glutinous rice and mushrooms, the soft chew of chestnuts, the rich taste of salted yolk—it all comes together to offer a nostalgic experience at a friendly price point. And at a time when food prices seem to keep climbing, finding a filling and satisfying treat at just $6.80 is something to appreciate.
So whether you’re reminiscing about the dumplings your grandmother used to make, or you’re discovering bak zhang for the first time, this is one treat that’s worth savouring. Gather some friends, share a few dumplings, and enjoy the season’s flavours while they last.
