Duanwu Jie – Dragon Boat Festival

I know its way past the festive but just like to share a bit more about the festival preparation. I did put down in notes about the “bak chang” here. Well it’s have been many years since i married and started to practiced the ritual, why not take the opportunity to captured it in paintings.

Here are the fine people laboriously performing our tasks to completion. What an achievement, 200+ “bak chang” in just 3 hours.

Here are the “bak chang” let hanging to dry after been boiled for an hour. Ready to eat.

Here is the ingredient together with the dunmplings, sitting on top of the bamboo leaves. The ingredients varies with preferences and clans. Ours we did it with piece of pork, dried oyster, some beans, duck egg york and dried prawns or dried mushroom. Enjoy.

Here is the full painting. Hope you like it.
