In a city that never slows down, the Dragon Boat Festival offers a rare moment of pause — a quiet space to reflect, reconnect, and return to what matters most. For Din Tai Fung Singapore, this time of year is not about chasing trends but honouring taste and tradition. Their returning festive treats — the handcrafted Pineapple Cakes and the classic Red Bean Rice Dumplings — are subtle, heartfelt tributes to heritage, served one bundle at a time.
Pineapple Cakes: Tradition, Perfected
Back by popular demand from 1 May 2025, Din Tai Fung’s Pineapple Cakes (凤梨酥) arrive in elegant boxes of ten, perfect for gifting or quiet indulgence. Each square features a buttery, crumbly crust wrapped around a jammy centre made from premium Taiwanese pineapples, known for their low acidity and natural sweetness. These cakes are free from preservatives and artificial flavouring, making them not only nostalgic but thoughtful.
Available at all outlets and for delivery via GrabFood, Foodpanda, and Deliveroo, they’re available while stocks last — and yes, they do tend to sell out fast.
Red Bean Rice Dumplings: The Quiet Classic
For those who crave familiarity, the Red Bean Rice Dumpling (豆沙粽) is comfort wrapped in bamboo leaves. Tied in a signature pillow shape, each dumpling is filled with pearl glutinous rice and smooth red bean paste, subtly sweet and satisfying. It’s the kind of dish that recalls mornings with grandparents, shared festival meals, and traditions kept alive across generations.
This staple is available year-round at all Din Tai Fung outlets — except Velocity @ Novena Square.
This year, celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival by reaching for more than a snack — reach for a memory, a legacy, and a taste of something lasting.
