Mochi Ice Cream

MOCHI!!!!!

For those of you who don’t know what Mochi ice cream is, mochi ice cream is a glutinous rice cake that has ice cream inside, like vanilla which is shown in the above picture. This is not your ordinary ice cream and is definitely worth a try. If you never had mochi before, you can try going to a Japanese market or a Chinese bakery and ask for it. Remember it’s just the mochi itself and it may contain things like peanuts or red bean. Try and ask it when you’re around the neighborhood. It is a delicious treat and it tastes even better when combined with ice cream.

You can usually find this in chinatown like in Dynasty Supermarket for $4.68 for 6 pieces. This particular brand carries six flavors: vanilla, strawberry, green tea, coffee, mango, and red bean.

I’ve only tried Vanilla and Red Bean so far, and I really like the vanilla. Plain ol’ vanilla. I have coffee at home since mom bought the wrong one and will try to give it a shot. But for now check it out. Wholefoods sell this as well and some more expensive and higher class mochis, like Bubbies Ice Cream recommended by softrice and by Oprah herself!

Taste: Very sweet and soft with a doughy texture that is at first foreign to the mouth, but then followed by a familar pleasure that begs your mouth to have more. Try it!
