Wrapped by hand, freshly steamed. A little kitchen bringing a taste of Chinese home to the Swiss table.

A warm little parcel of tradition

Zòngzì are sticky rice, filled and carefully wrapped in bamboo leaves, then steamed for hours. The leaf gives the rice its delicate, green aroma. We make them by hand in small batches — the way you'd make them at home, for family and friends.
