Bak Chang

Everyone must be very upset about the recent fuel hike announced. The government has been advising the people to change their lifestyle, stay at home and spend wiser.

Anyway, who cares about changing lifestyle? We still make our own bak chang (rice dumplings) at home. And if you feel that the pasar malam bak chang is too expensive, here are a few ‘simple’ steps on how to wrap bak chang.

Ok first of all, this are the steps to ‘wrap’ only. Sorry lar, didn’t get to witness the ingredient preparation process from the aunties…


Ingredients to be prepared like pork belly, glutinous rice...


Bamboo leaves for wrapping

Have the bamboo leaves face back to back

Fold at the half end

Make it into cone shape

Add glutinous rice (half)

Add some pork meat and belly

Add a final touch of glutinous rice to cover the meat

Squeeze the size so that it will fill all the space

Wrap...

Almost there...

Tie it with strings

Tada! Bak Chang! Of course have to steam it first before you can eat...

Happy Learning!
