These 年糕 are made from glutinous rice. There's a story to this
cake. There was once an adviser from china who forsaw a war being
eminent. Therefore he advised his people to make these cake and
dried it under the sun.
Then the war really came and the people were hungry. They
remembered the dried up cake and it saved them from starvation.
There's another story about how the people offered this to the
kitchen god so that he would not be able to speak bad about them
infront of the jade emperor.
Anyway, these is best eaten with coconut or fried with eggs
