Food Talk: Mochi Cream

Hey guys! I just wanted to share with you this new mochi stall my sister and I discovered last month.

Two of the mochi stalls we've tried offered mochi filled with ice cream. At first, I thought Mochi Cream offered the same. But after reading a few reviews, I realized that it wasn't ice cream that was inside their mochi.

The Mochi Cream in SM North Edsa had so many flavors. But, since we were trying to save room for my mom's birthday dinner, my sister and I decided to try just one flavor.

Mochi Cream had very unique flavors like Rum Raisin, Caramel Macchiato, Black Sesame, and Apple Pie. The price range is about 75-100+. They also have special box sets. 550 for half a dozen and 1020 for a dozen. Perfect as gifts! Or if you looove mochi. ^^

Their stall is very sleek looking and the crew were very accomodating. I don't know if their displayed mochi are fake though because they take the mochi from their freezer.

The Verdict:

My sister and I finally decided on the Cafe Au Lait and it was a good choice. It tasted like coffee mochi filled with coffee cream and cream with a slight peanut flavor. It was actually very tasty and a great change from the usual ice cream filling. I actually think I like this better than the ice cream filled ones because it's bursting with flavor.

They have sooo many flavors that I'm curious about. A bit pricey for such a small treat but worth it.

Check them out at the 2nd floor of SM North Edsa, The Block, right behind Happy Lemon and in between Uniqlo and Forever 21.

Cheerio!

Food Talk: Mochi Creme

Hello guys! Last night, my sister was browsing through her phone's picture gallery, and she asked me if there were pictures that I wanted to use. Whenever we eat out, whether it's a snack or a full meal, my sister takes pictures. Some she uses in her blog and others, I borrow. ^^ So when it comes to Food Talk, the pictures would probably be 98% her shots. I can manage the mug shots of my makeup, but when it comes to food, I just...suck. *haha*

Anyway, late last year, we jumped to the bandwagon of "mochi ice cream." I guess rice flour has started to get the fame it deserves with this tasty treat. My mango mochi ice cream from Mochi Creme was my first, then I started trying ones from others too.

The Verdict:

Mochi ice cream is fairly small, I mean in general. This one from Mochi Creme is the size of your regular puto or rice cake. But I've seen others that are waayy smaller. The regular flavored ones cost 60 each, like the mango and chocolate ones, and the others like green tea are priced at 65 each. 

It is pricey for such a small treat, but I think it's safe to say that it's worth it. I love the ones from Mochi Creme because the thickness of the mochi covering is just right and so is the amount of ice cream inside. 

The lady selling these told us to wait for the mochi to melt just a little because it is frozen , like you-can't-bite-through-it-if-you-won't-wait frozen. So, about a minute or two would do the trick.

The Mochi Creme I visited is at the 3rd floor (used to be 2nd flr I think) of SM North Edsa The Block but my sister's been to the one on the ground floor of SM San Lazaro.

Have you tried a mochi ice cream? Lemme know. Cheerio!
