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.
Honestly, it is a challenge to be able to find such a power packed chang and it took me months and samplings of over 50 bak chang to find this.
Rest assured that I’ll only recommend the best I can find. 🙂

As these are made in limited quantities and I can only transport a certain amount back to KL on each trip. They sell out fast so it’s best to pre-order if you want to get some.
Seriously, this is one of the very few that retains the home-made traditional rice dumplings done the way our grannies used to make them.
These dumplings are worth every penny as the makings of a rice dumpling are tremendously tedious.
Besides, these homemakers have taken a lifetime to perfect their craft.
I have tried new versions of dumplings each year during the Duan Wu (the annual Dumpling Festival), like those with fruit fillings and chilli crab and what-nots but I still prefer the traditional ones as they are what they should be.
This is truly the best I’ve found so far.
I’m open to suggestions and recommendations so do PM me if you know any that is better.
Last but not least, if any of your senior family member knows of a great recipe, be sure to learn it so your kids can also enjoy the traditional delicacy next time.
Let’s keep the tradition strong! 😀
