Mochi!

Mochi!

I've almost forgotten about this dessert I've tasted way back in 2000. It was served to us after our hearty meal in one of those Japanese restos we tried out in HK. I didn't care much about sashimi back then, but I couldn't take my mind off this treat. It was like an ice cream-filled marshmallow. I was too shy to ask what it was called then.

Earlier this year, there has been a mochi craze but fillers are mostly custard based. Last week, I read about Michiko and makes me eager to visit Tagaytay now! Meantime, I can settle with my latest find in my suking KStore -- Lotte Mochi!

Brought one for Keds and he thinks its delish. I wish I'd find one that just bite-sized. On to my quest for the perfect mochi!
