Indulge in Dragon Boat delights

Feast on a variety of gourmet rice dumplings at Red Lantern in Solaire Resort Entertainment City to mark the Dragon Boat Festival on 31 May.

Experience the deep-rooted Chinese tradition of honoring the patriotism of the renowned poet Qu Yuan and choose from six unique flavors of rice dumplings. Whether you’re dining in or gifting thoughtfully packaged sets to your loved ones, there’s a perfect treat for everyone.

The Dragon Boat Festival, observed on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, is a remembrance of Qu Yuan, a Chinese poet and minister from the Zhou Dynasty Warring States period. In addition to exchanging rice dumplings, or “zongzi”, this cultural tradition highlights exciting dragon boat races, wearing perfume pouches to protect oneself from illnesses, drinking Realgar wine for health, and tying five-color silk threads around the wrist to drive away bad spirits.
