Hong Kong’s Michelin-starred Man Ho Chinese Restaurant at JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong is ringing in the Dragon Boat Festival with an exquisite lineup of traditional glutinous rice dumplings — zongzi — that marry centuries-old Cantonese and Hokkien culinary artistry with premium ingredients.
The Dragon Boat Festival (Duanwu Festival), celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, is one of the most beloved occasions in Chinese culture — and no celebration is complete without the iconic glutinous rice dumpling. This year, Man Ho’s Executive Chinese Chef Jayson Tang has curated a festive collection that is as gift-worthy as it is indulgent.
Man Ho Dried Abalone Glutinous Rice Dumpling
The crown jewel of the 2026 collection is the Dried Abalone Glutinous Rice Dumpling — a classic Cantonese-style zongzi crafted for true gourmands. Arriving in an elegant parcel shape, each dumpling is packed with a lineup of premium Chinese ingredients: South African dried abalone, conpoy (dried scallop), shiitake mushrooms, tender pork belly, chicken thigh, Hunan lotus seeds, salted egg yolk, green beans, and glutinous rice, all seasoned with additive-free soya sauce. The filling is wrapped in bamboo leaves that lend a subtle, signature fragrance to every bite.

Man Ho Red Bean and Pork Glutinous Rice Dumpling
For those who appreciate the harmony of sweet and savory, the Red Bean and Pork Glutinous Rice Dumpling delivers a refined balance of flavors. It features supreme Japanese red bean paste with gently sweet notes, pork belly seasoned with soya sauce, buttery salted egg yolk, and chewy glutinous rice — all made without alkaline water, honoring traditional methods that let the quality of each ingredient speak for itself.
The Dried Abalone and Red Bean & Pork Gift Set is available in:
- Elegant gift box: HK$598
- Thermal bag: HK$538
Man Ho Hokkien Glutinous Rice Dumpling
Rooted in the rich Fujian tradition of bak chang, the Hokkien Glutinous Rice Dumpling is a deeply savory indulgence. Glutinous rice is stir-fried with dark soya sauce, five-spice powder, and shallot oil, then wrapped around a hearty filling of mushrooms, chestnuts, minced dried shrimp, and succulent pork belly. Best enjoyed with the accompanying Hokkien sweet and chilli sauce.
