One time when we were on a Flushing crawl, maybe the first one, there were a couple of ladies sitting at the next table who were wrapping zongzi — they were part of the wholesaler who supplier restaurants but had a small retail front in the food court. Such skill and speed.

I’ve tried to learn zongzi-wrapping, but have yet to master it!

Each dialect group in Singapore & Malaysia has its own distinct zongzi. My favorite is the Nyonya one by the Straits-born Chinese or Peranakans.
