Recently, in both pictures and Asian markets (specifically one that specializes in Viet/ Thai foods), I've seen a piece of kitchen equipment that has baffled me. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what it is. Unfortunately, I'm now unable to find a picture of one.
It's made of wood, a flat top with a "leg" at the front and back made from wide board. At one end is a jagged-toothed blade.
I know this isn't a great description, but if anyone has an idea of what I'm talking about, I'd appreciate it.
What is this? A coconut grater?

Sounds like you're describing a coconut grater, used to pulverize the flesh of fresh coconut for making coconut milk. See here.

Sounds like it to me as well. Here are some images of it in action.

Thanks, Celeste and Chris. That's exactly what I was referring to.
