Candied Lotus???

My daughter has been out of school for a few weeks due to a an accident. (She's fine now). Her friend made her a care baggie because she missed the Chinese New Year celebration. Inside were different candies.





Two of them we can't figure out what they were but they were very tasty. One was a rust color and had a couple of holes going through it. It was oval shaped and had a taste between a potato and a piece of coconut. The second had a similar taste but it was coated in powdered sugar and was long and slender and white. There were also small off white balls with the same taste as well.





The teacher said it was Lotus but when we went to chinatown here in Oakland to buy some, the taste was horrible. Yes it was covered in what we thought was powdered sugar but ...Yuck!!!





I know we should ask the classmate but she is out of town for an early Spring Break, so does anyone out there know what it is and if you live in the SF/Bay Area could you tell us where to buy some??? Thanks!
