Chinese leek flower dumplings (fig.),
in Thai known as
khanom gui chai, are
made from rice powder. The pink dough is pressed into a
flat, pear-shaped form of which the top is slightly
bent, somewhat reminiscent of the shape of a T-Bone
Steak.
This
trademark
feature
makes them
stand out
from other
dumplings,
and most
shops use
their own
mold with a
customized
pattern,
Chinese
character,
or logo on
it, which is
hence
pressed onto
the dumpling
during
manufacturing.
