Sometimes lo mai gai is divided into smaller wraps, which are known as chun chu gai (Cantonese, 珍珠雞) literally meaning "pearl chicken" in Chinese.
Due to the flexibility of the lotus leaf, lo mai gai is typically wrapped to form a rectangular parcel. Zongzi is wrapped using bamboo leaves into a triangular based pyramid (tetrahedron).
Bánh chưng is the Vietnamese variant of lo mai gai, originating from Vietnam. It's typically in a square prism shape, composed of an exterior layer of sticky rice on all sides, stuffed with mung beans and pork. The pork is usually pork belly (same region where bacon derives from) marinated with fish sauce, black pepper, salt, garlic and may contain other spices and condiments depending on taste. It's typically wrapped in banana leaves and steamed. Banh chung is especially served during the Vietnamese Lunar New Year of Tết (coinciding with Chinese New Year). Bánh chưng can be deep-fried instead of being steamed, which is then called bánh chưng rán. Another version of banh chung is bánh tét, which contains mostly the same ingredients and the same cooking method, but it's in a log shape, and can be sweet (not exclusively savoury as banh chung).
