I've had the ones from the FayDa Bakery in Forest Hills in Qns Blvd – Not good – too much rice and not enough filling.

That looks pretty good for a frozen food product. My family normally makes (from scratch) the cylindrical type wrapped in banana leaves, so when I see these little triangular buddies in dim sum places, I always order two steamers.

The best part is the fragrant, lotus-scented sticky rice. Ahh….

My mom used to make these from scratch. They are so labor intensive! Now she's just like your mom. Fresh then freeze.

I think it's lotus leaf though.

Flying Lily – whoops! That's banana leaf (I think) and that's just to hold the insides. You can't/shouldn't eat the leaf, just the goodies inside!

Apikoros – pretty much any Asian market – try Hong Kong Supermarket or NY Supermarket on Elmhurst Avenue (outside the train station), or New Golden Sparkling on B'way (formerly known as Kam Lun) outside the Grand Avenue train station. I've definitely seen it at all of these places for around $3, a little less.
Also, my mom buys the big ones fresh and freezes them herself, which you could totally do as well.
