Around the recent Dragon Boat Festival, we got some zongzi from Sogo- both savory and sweet. I was a bit skeptical about vegetarian zongzi since I am used to the Cantonese version with meat and chicken. But I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the savory version at Sogo was. Stuffed with sticky rice, beans, mushrooms, etc. Won’t hesitate to get it again.
I liked the sweet version a lot too. Came in as a bunch of tiny little zonzis tied together with a string.
Mildly sweet with a mochi like outer core surrounding the red bean paste at the center. Very nice. I was a bit taken back by the bright green color though the shop said they didn’t use artificial color and the green color came from chlorophyll.
