New World Makati Hotel’s premium Chinese dining destination, Jasmine, celebrates the traditional Dragonboat Festival with its signature handcrafted machang or zongzi, a glutinous rice dish with two kinds of fillings wrapped in lotus leaves.
This sticky rice delicacy is served and shared among family and friends to honor the annual holiday which occurs on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar.
A choice between a savory or sweet version of this well-loved dish is offered at Jasmine restaurant.
The traditional variety consists of glutinous rice, pork, yellow bean, salted egg, and mushroom, while the other is glutinous rice with red bean filling. Both are wrapped in lotus leaf and are cooked through boiling.
Encased in a basket weave packaging with a bamboo handle and gold foil logo stamping, these flavorful treats are best enjoyed with any hot tea of your choice.
