Hello everyone I need some help.
I used to eat these snack/cake things when I was little, usually for sale in asian grocery stores(In Australia). Theres 3 layers white yellow white. The yellow layer is mushy and delicious. They come in little rectangular clear-packets.
If anyone can help me with the name of these or somewhere that sells them online would be great.
Also feel free to share your favourite asian snacks/desserts here.

sorry you need to be a little more clear on the white part
is it a cracker, soft cake like thing, bread etc?
|
It's like a soft cake thing, I think the label on the packaging might be pink too. Sorry for being vague I really can't remember it's been well over 10 years since I've eaten them.
|
only thing i can think of is this:
doesn't really fit your description though!

A lot of those look great but not what I was searching for yet. They come in clear see-through packaging with a small pink label. About the size of a digital camera/oldphone (width : 1inchx length : 3inch height : 1inch).

which language was on it lol
|
Is it some Nonya/Chinese Peranakan Snacks? You could do a search on those terms.. (By the way, asian is a REALLY vague term, might want to specify the ethnicity of it).
|
I can't remember the language that was on the packet unfortunately.

After googling for a while I've found what sounds like it, but no photos. Hope this helps narrow it down, thanks a lot for all the replies so far.
"Chinese Cake made with sticky rice (white layers) and a cream of pureed split mung beans (yellow layer), flavored with banana essence"
*edit* I found a picture http://members.shaw.ca/rungtawan/ag_pix/chinese_cakes.jpg It's the bottom right hand corner one.

I knew exactly what you were talking about in first post. lol I hate those. Only delicious with a beverage preferably tea. The white part kind of tastes like chalk I assume. There are different fillings though. I like durian or any kind of beans.

(seriously i havent seen those around in my area =/) Pretty different actually, if you are talking about the pictures that the OP tossed up. Assuming I am thinking of the right thing, the white layers are made completely differently from mochi/mua ji. Actually at that I didn't know these even come in mass produced forms, always just see them at some bakeries.
To OP, I am pretty sure I recognize the picture, though I am not too sure as to the name, will try to ask around to see. Just in case, can you describe what the white part was like? Consistency, texture, etc.

I love peanut butter and I love Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, so once in the Asian market I got these peanut butter filled glutinous rice snacks dipped in chocolate: big mistake.

He's talking about the rice cake with mung bean in the middle.
EDIT: ibutoss' got it

Yeah that sounds about right, Most people either love them or hate them. I remember the white layer was sort of dry at times, but I still love them. Use to squeeze them so the yellow layer would come out even haha

Thanks I'd appreciate it if you could find out the name. I know these are mass produced because I remember the imported sticker. I commented on the texture above, hope it helps.

Yup I was thrilled with the photo but still no name. Maybe just one of those things without a common/popular name but I sure hope not.
|
Haha, I love this stuff.
I don't really know the name of them either, but I think the kind we got was just some generic name like "Rice cake" or something.
