I just called my wife, who is Thai, to find the Thai name for this dessert. It's kao tom. Literally, it means "boiled rice," but she assured me that it refers specifically to the sweet, sticky rice mixed with with coconut milk, with a slice of banana inside, and wrapped in a banana leaf. It's an example of that class of foods generally called kah-nome in Thai: snacks.
