Oh ok, that's interesting. I never did it that way. But now you just awakened my interest to try it out next time 😊.

It's made of glutinous rice instead of the normal one then cooked only with coconut milk and salt. But normally it will be wrapped differently,and it's eaten more as a rice cake, as snacks and not to accompany the main dish.
Sometimes we also put some red beans in the rice.
Traditionally they would look like this:
