Where can I buy the Hainanese banana dumplings?
Hi Eric,
We did a search, but found that many restaurants and home chefs require at least a week’s notice for orders for the dumplings. We recently published a story about a restaurant in Puchong and their dumplings. Perhaps you can try contacting them? http://www.kuali.com/dining-out/penang-one-features-special-giant-bak-chang-for-festival/ Thanks for your support.
