The white squares are [phonetically] lo bo gow. They are made from Daikon and rice puree. Their taste is crisp and fresh but more mellow than biting into a radish - could be the addition of rice. Anyhow, the puree is formed into squares, dried, and then grilled.
The green things are [phonetically] jee-ow bing. Bing is popular as a breakfast food and it's basically a crepe / scrambled egg combination. The "jee-ow" part is what signifies the green color - I think the addition of green squash into the mix. The owner of the hostel suggested that this may be a special recipe because dan bing [you guessed it, phonetic] is more popular.
Dan bing is white and pictured here with lo bo gow :
I prefer the green one because of a crispier texture and the squash adding a more-than-flour flavor. The details of "What I'm Eating" posts will improve as I learn Chinese.
