The Answer!!!

So here you're... this is the answer : Bamboo tube filled with sticky rice & red beans.

hmm... I dunno about the taste, as I didn't try. But this is very common in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The texture & contents you've seen in previous submission are the herbal & ingrediant to make the rice taste better. ^__^

This local lady simply took the rice with her hands, she didn't use any spoon nor fork nor knife to break the bamboo. Really amazed me! I guess the bamboo became soft after cook. *winks*

Nice job using your subject as your background. Seeing the action of the person open it gives it a size reference. You could also afford more room on the bamboo peel backs so it's not to close to the edge of the frame. Interesting dessert to enjoy :)croc

Ariel, so now we know! But why didn't you try one so you could tell us how it tasted? Good shot on the peeling back of the bambo. :) Fred

Ariel, It's nice to finally know what it is. I never would have guessed. But I think in all fairness to us, you should have tried it (lol). Good shot of it being open and contents revealed. BJ

Ariel, Thanks for sharing something that I have never seen! (just like my icicles for you!). You told a great story in this photo. With her hand in the photo I can tell the size and how you eat it. You should have tried it! Michelle
