Its pyramid-shaped dumplings are composed of five different fillings wrapped in aromatic bamboo leaves, with each dumpling hand-crafted by skilled chefs from Li Bai Cantonese restaurant. The dragon boat dumplings can be purchased individually or in gift sets, and a tasting booth is set up at the hotel lobby from 9am to 7pm daily.

Held annually on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated widely in other nearby markets. The festivities vary from region to region, but share several distinctive features with ceremonies such as dragon boat races, folk entertainments, and feasts lavished with rice dumplings. A notable part of celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival is spending time with family members and friends.

This year, the Dragon Boat Festival falls on June 22. Gastronomes can savour the freshly cooked dragon boat dumplings at Li Bai restaurant or indulge in the convenience of takeaway options, perfect for gifting or long-term preservation. Every order of two dumplings is packaged in an elegant octagonal box resembling a string of dumplings, making them excellent gift options.
