Tiny Treats from Mo’ Mochi

by Iyath Adam

For our Love this Dish article this month, we checked out the mochi from Mo’ Mochi dessert joint.

If you are unfamiliar with it, mochi is a type of Japanese rice cake, made with glutinous rice. The rice is steamed, then pounded until it becomes a chewy, stretchy dough with a unique, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

While there are many different varieties of mochi, the most commonly known around the world is sweet mochi, now made with many different ingredients like mango, strawberry, blueberry, chocolate etc.

From Mo’ Mochi, we tried their daifuku blueberry cheesecake and a mochi ice-cream in Swiss chocolate flavour. Both types consist of the stretchy mochi dough, which is enveloped around a sweet filling to create a tasty dessert mound.

The daifuku blueberry cheesecake was a lovely surprise; blueberry mochi dough with blueberry compote and cream inside. It had a sweet, yet lightly tangy taste and the texture – that signature mochi chew – made every bite feel indulgent yet comforting.

The Swiss chocolate mochi ice-cream was rich and deeply satisfying. The chocolate ice cream inside was smooth and decadent, while the thin, stretchy mochi layer gave a different texture that melted away beautifully as you bit in. Together, it was the kind of treat that could make any dessert and/or chocolate lover swoon, for sure!

Altogether, the mochi from Mo’ Mochi is chewy, creamy, and delightfully different. If you are a mochi lover or looking to try it for the first time, then we definitely recommend trying out the different flavours of mochi here!
