Mochi Sweets

Japanese luxury sweets. Yes, there is such thing.
From green tea to chocolate mousse, honey lemon, blueberry cream and more. The average cost is somewhere around RM4 and that is quite luxurious in my opinion for these little bites.
The taste is absolutely delicious, the cream is soft and the ingredients fresh but the wait can be quite long. My favourites were the chestnut, blueberry, strawberry and honey lemon creams so if you want to try some traditional Japanese sweets do go ahead and try this.

This boutique is located at the ground floor in The Gardens Mall and is one of my favourite place to buy sweet.
Here you will not find the classic sweets… you will find the best Japanese sweet. If you never had before Mochi, then is time to discover the best sweets ever. Mochi is made form a sticky crust with flour with cheese or white beens and delicious fruits like strawberries, mango, orange, coconut and many other. My favourite ones are the ones with cheese and mango or coconut. I’m not a fan of the ones with white beens.
In case that you don’t want to try the delicious Mochi, you can also go for the classic donuts which are are amazing.
The price for a Mochi is around RM3.8 which is not expensive.

Mochi is actually a Japanese sweet dessert; mini balls made out of glutinous rice flour filled with different flavors of all sorts. This mini sweet delights are best kept frozen & taken out prior to eating to allow it to defrost for about 15 minutes before you can indulge in them.
The whole texture combined with the flavors of the filling is indescribable. Its like a mini explosion in your mouth I kid you not. Mochi sweets is one of the finer places to get hold of your mochi’s. Unlike the frozen ones sold at the supermarkets, these mochi’s are much fresher. Of course in terms of pricing they cost way more since it is a specialty store & you are paying for the extra frills such as the classy boxes & individual mochi packing.

I remember my first time of having this Mochi Sweets when i was in Shanghai during winter, and according to the direction given, i need to wait for 40 minutes just to have this small tiny dessert. The reason to wait here is to ensure the skin of mochi is already soften so you can feel the chewiness of the glutinous. Ever since that, i’m in love with it. From this dessert, i learned that sometimes good food really need to wait patiently.
I love the flavor of cream chocolate which is a little bit bitter of the cocoa powder outside the soft mochi skin but taste sweetness of the chocolate ice-​cream inside. There’s another new flavor named Matcha Red Bean which also my current favorite.
Each of the Mochi cost in between RM 3.80 to RM 4.80. Recently, there’s a 30% discount with purchase of 6 mochi. The packaging is also very nice, red in a box with label of each Mochi’s name inside.
If you’re have it in Malaysia, you can have it after 20 minutes.

Ever since my friend introduced this particular dessert to me that is from Hong Kong, I’ve got so hooked on it! Did you know that Mochi Sweets are all made in HK and shipped in? Yes, this is why their quality is so good.
My favourites are mango and peach. Staffs are always very professional to ask if you want them to take away for long or to eat them straight away. They will give you proper instructions on how long you have to wait before you eat them or if you were to bring it back home to keep.

Yep, pretty exciting, mochi goodness is at 30% off now!
I was so excited last night when i see the 30% off sign that they have sticked on their counter.
Having always liked their mochis, even though the expensive price, you can actually see that they are really delicate in keeping the mochi fresh and at its good condition. Even when they sell it to you, they will advise on how long you should take it out from the fridge before you eat it. So, this is quality difference that we are talking about.
One of my favourites so far is their tiramisu flavor. So, i kind of stocked up since they are doing promotions!
However, tips — don’t buy too much and think of keeping it for too long. Mochis are still best eaten fresh. After all, it’s not reasonable to compromise on less fresh mochis just because you could get it at a cheaper rate right?

My first impression of this place was wow! even the delight looked so yummy! the price is really cheaper than I expected, 3.50 to 4 rm per piece is really not much for how the place and he delight looks.
Unfortunately I’m not a Mochi Sweets fan, it;s just not my kind of sweets. I didn’t think it was that deliciously sweet. it was just odd.

My experiences buying Mochi from this place can be described in one word. Mediocre. Yes the booth itself is extremely classy in terms of decoration and the staff look extremely clean and hygienic.
However, after spending a steep price on a few flavours, I found the quality very good but it could have been priced lower as I didn’t have that «Eureka «moment I expected. Some mochi flavours were not sweet enough in my opinion.
Every piece of mochi does come individually packaged and chilled. Maybe mochis just aren’t my thing.

Who wouln’t be interested to try out a delight, when the tag line ls: «Sweet delights made from glutinous rice flour, pure extraction of fruits, kidney bean and fresh cream.»
Ok I have to say I ignored the kidney bean part as it definitely put me off, but I accept it as a part of different culture and how can you experience a new taste if you only go with what you know, right?
I guess it’s just something about Asian desserts and me. I just really don’t understand them. I keep on trying hoping that I will learn to appreciate it, but it’s a rare case that I would want to repeat after a bite of it.
It is very specific taste, but if you’re a fan of Japanese desserts, I hear that this is a place !:)
