Bacang/Zongzi vendor offers delicious and flavorful zongzi, featuring generous fillings such as chestnut and peanuts. The vendor is a friendly grandma who is a staple in Chinatown's history and usually always present. She speaks multiple languages, including Mandarin, Taiwanese, and Cantonese, making it easy for customers to communicate. The zongzi is a great snack or meal, with 3-4 buns making a decent meal. Customers can take home a few buns to reheat in a steamer or microwave, and adding soy sauce enhances the flavor. While some customers recommend eating it right away in a pinch, it's better to boil or steam for 10-15 minutes for the best results. The vendor is a local favorite, with one customer stating it is a must-stop when in Chinatown, as her zongzi is better than what one would find in restaurants or grocery stores. Customers say the bacang are warm, flavorful, and generously filled, and that every flavor is easily the most delicious zongzi they've ever had, with incredible fillings and sticky rice cooked to perfection. Many shoppers have bought from her for years and call her a great example of supporting local business. She sometimes stays past 7 pm, so if in the area, it's worth checking out.
