Dong is the sticky rice wrapped in lotus or banana leaves, if I'm
remembering correctly. It usually contains small chunks of lap chiang,
chicken, mushrooms, and dried shrimp.


You are mixing up "nor mai gai" at dim sum and "joong". "Nor mai gai"
is made with all of what you said (but the lazy restaurents just make
it with pork).



My wife's family call this doong, they speak Toisanese.

"Joong" is made with sticky rice (and lentils), and usually has pork,
and perhaps mushrooms (dong goo) and dried shrimp, but rarely lap
cheong or chicken.


Sounds like what we just had this morning at Dim Sum, but instead of
lentils they use peanuts. It definately had chicken and lap cheong in
it.
