In its most classic form, zongzi is a glutinous rice dumpling, stuffed with either sweet or savory fillings and wrapped in large, flat bamboo leaves.

This year, the student and his parents walked out of the shop with a variety of twenty rice dumplings. While it is possible to acquire both southern and northern zongzi in all areas of Taiwan, loyalty to regional specialties runs deep. While zongzi in northern Taiwan and southern Taiwan both hold the notable tetrahedral shape and are wrapped in large flat bamboo or osmanthus leaves (their greatest difference comes down to the consistency of the rice), southern zongzi tend to be stickier because they are boiled, rather than steamed. The wrapped zongzi is then steamed, and when served warm exudes the soft fragrance of the leaves. The rice of northern zongzi is also sticky, but the grains remain more intact than their southern counterparts.
