Zongzi (or zong) is a traditional Chinese food, made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. They are cooked by steaming or boiling. They are known in Japanese as chimaki. Laotians, Thais, Cambodians, and Vietnamese (bánh tro) also have similar traditional dishes influenced by zongzi. They have also been known as "Chinese tamales" to the Western world.

Now there is ice dessert Zongzi sold in Starbucks in Taiwan. It's cool, huh?!
