Banh Chung

This is a Chinese New Year delicacy, named Banh Chung.
A colleague's family made this.
Traditionally there's 2 shapes -
Square represents Land (Earth is the more accurate term, I presume)
Round represents Sky (It could be Heaven).
So today, we're having Land.

The sticky rice is wrapped in leaves and boiled in water until it is cooked. Hence the slight green tinge.

A smart way of dissecting the goody. Use the leaves.

The contents would be chunks of pork, mashed green beans, and spiced with pepper. The Banh Chung is quite similar to the Malaysian rice dumpling, both in texture and taste. Only the timing's different.
