It is Steamed Sticky Glutinous Rice With Chicken!
It is also known as Lor Kai Mai in Cantonese, and for the Chinese, we called it 糯米饭.
In the Southeastern china they usually have it as a brunch which is between breakfast and lunch.
The traditional Glutinous Rice with Chicken is wrapped in a louts leaf, this is to enhance the flavor of the louts leaf to allow it have a aroma of it in the product. It is normally wrapped into a triangle or rectangular shape.


If you don't know how does a Lor Mai Kai wrapped in Louts leaf look like, here you go!

and for the commercial Lor Mai Kai, it is normally in aluminium case or plastic case.
it be found easily at Supermarket ,NTUC and Sheng Siong,  most coffee shops and dim sum restaurants.
