They bought them from different vendors at the event.

The reader and the other guests ate the dumplings at around 3pm to 4pm, and began to feel unwell around 6:45pm.
They said they did not consume any other food apart from the rice dumplings and bottled mineral water.
Symptoms they experienced include diarrhoea, frequent stomach cramps, and vomiting.
The reader said they panicked and hurried to buy medication at the nearest pharmacy.
In response to Mothership, SFA said they did not receive any application for a temporary fair permit for the Dumpling Festival at Orchard Gateway and took enforcement action.
They confirmed that the event organiser has ceased operations.
SFA said it is currently conducting investigations into the feedback of food poisoning cases following the consumption of food products purchased from the temporary fair.
The agency reminded that operators of temporary fairs must obtain a permit from SFA for the duration of the fair.
"This allows SFA to ensure that fair operators have complied with measures to ensure food safety," SFA said, adding applications should be submitted at least two weeks before the fair commencement date.
Food and beverage stalls at temporary fairs are also required to be licensed by SFA and have food handlers who have passed the mandatory Food Safety Course Level 1.
When contacted, a spokesperson for Orchard Gateway said the licensee did not inform them about any cases of food poisoning arising from the dumpling festival they organised.
