SohGood Bak Chang\u2019s Grandma\u2019s Hokkien Bak Chang<\/h4>\n

When the Covid-19 pandemic left Mr Soh jobless last year, he decided to open a stall to sell Hokkien bak chang, using a recipe his grandma taught him. Every step is done the way she used to, from separately frying the glutinous rice and meat with freshly fried shallots to braising the chestnuts till tender. Thankfully for Mr Soh \u2013 and for us \u2013 it\u2019s since turned into a full-time career. While available throughout the year, there\u2019s no better time than now to discover this super-traditional rice dumpling that harkens back to its origins in Anxi, a county in southern Fujian province, China. Do drop by early as these \u2018SohGood\u2019 dumplings are made fresh at the stall in limited quantities each day (closed on Sundays and Mondays).<\/p>\n
