Bra Or Ear?

For a few nights already, I had been yearning for this particular type of biscuit to munch... during lunch time I drove to First Garden to find, even went to Wenn's shop but to no avail... she didn't even know what I was talking about when I described the biscuit to her...

I asked, "Bra biscuits, you know... like a cone shape, brown in colour, hard type.... " She had no idea what I was talking about... hahahaa... Thanks Wenn for being patient... we ended up buying two Magnum ice creams sticks instead.. lol....

Then yesterday I found what I had been looking and yearning for....
My version of "Bra Biscuits"
I remember calling them that when I was young... 
Cantonese version is "Lin Ku Pian"  (sounds vulgar, right?)
It seems the actual name is "Yee Chai Pian"  (Ears biscuits)
So...which do you think is more appropriate....
Bra or Ear?  
(just for laughs)

Looks more like a bra cup to me then an ear. What or who has ears that look like those? Is the biscuit sort of like a fortune cookie shell?
