Where to buy the best traditional rice dumplings (bak chang) in KL or PJ Malaysia?

It took a while but I’m thrilled to say that I’ve found a superb bak chang (pork meat rice dumplings) that could rival my grandmother’s!

So here it is.
Watch the video for an accurate depiction of what to expect and you will find some images below as well.

VIDEO: Bak Chang 

A video is always interesting to see how the rice dumplings are isn’t it? 🙂

The price is RM9 each; a steal considering the quality of ingredients used and the amount of ingredients stuffed into a rice dumpling.

Each dumpling oozes with savoury and luscious ingredients comprising of 2-3 pieces of juicy of chunky pork belly, a whole salted egg yolk, mushrooms, a whole tender, sweet chestnut plus dried shrimps.
It is a X-large serving size too, almost 1.5 times the size of regular bak chang which makes it a filling meal!
Sometimes the rice for chang can be overly mushy or even undercooked, but years of experience have honed the maker’s skills and I’ve noticed that her rice dumplings are fragrant and steamed to perfection every time.

The current market is at least RM7 -8 (SS2 market, etc) and frankly, the amount of meat and other ingredients in those aren’t close to what you see here.
