Kochi or Koci (also known as passover cake in English) is a Malay dumpling (kuih) made from glutinous rice flour, and stuffed with coconut fillings with palm sugar.
For the Eurasians in Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore, this snack is often sold at funerals. The black colour of the unpolished rice symbolises death, while the sweet filling represents resurrection.
