Answer 1

I know exactly what you are talking about.  It's called khao dom madt and they are delicious and I make them often.  This recipe is close to how my mom taught me, it shows them being steamed in foil but I prefer to go authentic and use banana leaves.  http://importfood.com/recipes/khaotommad...   Hope this helps!

Edit: for further clarification, you MUST use Thai sticky (aka sweet or glutinous) rice for this recipe.  Regular white or jasmine rice will not work.

Answer 3

What you've described sounds identical to a Chinese Sticky rice dumpling (not to be confused with other dumplings -they're totally different). These are also eaten in Thailand, but I don't know about the origins of the food.

粽子 Zong Zi

They come in a variety of flavours, wrapped in leaves and are eaten during mid-autumn festival. I found a Chinese recipe and a Thai recipe for you. :-) I'm going to try it myself!
