Dragon Boat Festival 2025 at Shangri-La Jakarta

CELEBRATE TIME-HONOURED TRADITIONS WITH HANDCRAFTED 
RICE DUMPLINGS AT SHANGRI-LA JAKARTA

As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, Shangri-La Jakarta invites guests to embrace one of the most cherished Chinese traditions through an exquisite culinary journey at JIA. From 1 to 31 May 2025, guests can savour a curated selection of handcrafted rice dumplings, meticulously prepared by our chefs to celebrate the spirit of togetherness, heritage and the art of fine dining.

The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is deeply rooted in Chinese culture and marked by the symbolic act of enjoying zongzi, glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves. At JIA, each rice dumpling is a harmonious blend of tradition and creativity, offering flavours that range from the familiar to the unexpected. 

Guests can indulge in five distinctive creations this season, beginning with the JIA Signature Hong Kong Rice Dumpling (鲍鱼果蒸粽) at IDR 448,000++, a decadent delicacy generously filled with abalone and premium ingredients for an opulent festive experience. The Five-Spice Rice Dumpling (五香咸肉粽 ) at IDR 128,000++ presents a timeless recipe with savoury notes elevated by the warm aroma of traditional Chinese spices. For those seeking comfort, the Chicken and Mushroom Rice Dumpling (香菇滑鸡粽) at IDR 108,000++ features tender chicken and earthy mushrooms wrapped in fragrant glutinous rice. Celebrating Indonesian flavours, the Beef Rendang Rice Dumpling (仁当牛肉粽) at IDR 108,000++ infuses the bold, aromatic essence of rendang into a festive parcel that unites culture and taste. For a lighter, plant-based delight, the Winter Melon and Sesame Rice Dumpling (冬瓜芝麻粽) at IDR 78,000++ offers a subtly sweet combination of winter melon and toasted sesame for a refreshing end to the experience.

Beautifully wrapped and elegantly presented, these rice dumplings also make thoughtful gifts to share with family, friends or business partners during this meaningful celebration. Available for Page 2 of 3 dine-in and takeaway, each creation is a tribute to the festival’s spirit of reunion and remembrance.
