What is the the name of the Asian sweet which is similar to a burfi?

It looks and tastes quite the same as a burfi but it seems to have very thin layers of glaze throughout it.

The only way I can describe the glaze is like an edible fibreglass! Although it's a very enjoyable edible fibreglass!

Update:

thanks dude but it's not banh bo. It comes in a flat tablet form and can be many flavours. Most memorable one I've had was peanut tasting.

Update 2:

Thanks again, it's definitely not the dragon beard candy that is mentioned although the fibre glass glaze I mentioned is very very similair to candyfloss now I think about it.

Update 3:

Infact it's like a burfi with thin layers of candy floss throught it, yes that's a good description! much better than fibreglass glaze!

Update 4:

Yes it looks like it might be soan papdi. Thanks a lot!
