RuiXue needs help finding the recipe to something she remembers eating in a Chinese Tea Restaurant. Do anyone here know what she might be looking for?

Here is her full post for reference. If anyone knows what she is asking for, it would be great if you could let us know, we are all here to help eachother

When I was in China last year (2009) my (now) husband and I went to some bit more simple restaurants and had lunch and one time dinner. It was “tea restaurant” which had a lot of tea and more simple noodle and rice dishes, and they had this amazing cake among the desserts! It’s a kind of rice cake, but the sticky rice thing was really thin, and judging by the taste it had some kind of whipped cream (or something like it) in it along with small pieces of canned fruit (peach I think). They were served in small metal cups. I have been googling as if there’s no tomorrow several times now, and asked friends in China if they know what cake I mean, but alas, can’t find it and no one knows I had those cakes in at least 3 different restaurants in Suzhou, all of them were tea restaurants or noodle shops.

They remind a little of the Japanese Mochi but still no where near those in a way. Anyone has an idea what cake it might be?

Thought I’d ask here aswell since all of us here seems to have an interest for different foods and there’s many Asians here

So, anyone who has an idea what it might be?

I *might* attempt making them at home if I can just find a name for them= find a recipe
