Anyone knows what are these called? I am sure if you are Singaporean, you must have eaten this before. It tastes like chestnut and is shaped like a cow’s head with horns.
My sister just barbequed a batch of these last night and while I was savouring them, it striked me that I didn’t know what they are called! 🙂

It’s called 菱角, and in S’pore it’s a festive food for the Cantonese folks on Mooncake festival day.
Bluemint: Thanks! What is it called in English though?
I think … water caltrop. Hehe.
Festive food for the Cantonese? I am a pure Cantonese, how come I never eaten that before. Hmm….
