I'm trading some of these for "Chinese tamales" or Zongzi (咸肉粽). My friend's family is from China and made some this year. Funny how people all over the world like to wrap stuff in leaves and eat it 🤷♂️ Love it though.

I agree. We also have Suman which is sticky rice packed inside leaves. I didn't know a lot of countries have their own tamales as well. We don't even have to use the leaves for wrapping as well. We have pandan leaves placed inside when cooking rice for aroma and flavor. We have torta where we cook a mixture of ground pork, carrots, potatoes, and egg on top of banana leaves.
