Their shape and look can resemble some homemade soap bar slices. At room temperature, their sweetness and texture reminds me of microwaved red bean cake. :meow-melt:
They came in a variety of looks. They could be one solid color, opaque, slightly translucent, have red beans and/or black sesame inside, or be striped like the above pic. Mainly saw them in the colors white, green, brownish-red, brown, pink, and dark grey w/ black specks.
i can't remember the name of this exactly, it does sounds like you're thinking of some kueh variation like others have said
i always see the packs of these at the asian delis near me, always so tempted to grab one of the styrofoam trays of desserts with this and that one palm sugar 'dumpling' (i feel like I' m failing my SEA heritage not knowing the name lmao), reminds me of childhood shit :))
