Purple potato mochi

Mochi flavours used to be just mango but now they have Durian and even purple potato.
Tried the Durian a while ago so this time tried the purple potato, which looks like Ube icecream mochi by a local dairy brand.
The purple potato mochi was really nice and not too sweet, the mash was thick and velvety but the purple potato was a bit dry.

[Das Gute] Mini custard mochi bread

I was captivated by these mini custard mochis which looked like baby donuts dusted in icing powder but when I got closer it was actually mochi.

They cost $4.5 each or $17 for 3 which is quite pricey considering they are just a small bite.
Anyway, I got one because I wasn’t sure if they were delicious or not.

The custard mochi was quite nice because the mochi is not as oily as donut but the texture is a bit like chewy donut and the filling was ok, but the custard had a sickly white chocolate/condensed milk taste.

Saint Honore’s new Earl Grey Swiss Roll

The fancy Swiss rolls at Saint Honore are really nice.

So far, there has been:
Green tea with mango (don’t like mango)
Fruit roll (haven’t tried)
Okinawan brown sugar roll (really good)
Earl Grey tea

My favourites so far are the Okinawan brown sugar and the new Earl Grey.

The Earl Grey roll is filled with Australian milk mousse, Earl Grey jelly and mochi.

 I really liked it because every part of the roll was delicious from the fragrant but not too sweet roll that had a natrual Earl Grey taste to the lovely Earl Grey jelly and mousse in the middle.
The mochi element was a bit weird though because the texture was sticky and sweet.

Purple glutinous rice mochi with mango @ 允升甜品

At this place, they do two types of Glutinous rice mochis, one is white and one is purple.
The purple one is purple glutinous rice.


I was surprised at how big these mochis were because they were the size of my palm.

After I took a bite, I realised why they were so big because they were filled with huge chunks of mango and not the small cubes you usually get.
Mango lovers are going to love the sweet and juicy mango meat when they bite into this.

Personally I don't like mango and the durian version tastes better.

Durian glutinous rice dumplings

Went past this place and noticed these glutinous rice dumplings thinking it was the usual mango filling inside, but they had DURIAN!!!!


I havent seen Durian in them before so got some to try.
They cost $8 each which is slightly pricey.

Durian glutinous rice dumpling:

It was lovely and cold because they got it from the fridge.
The taste of this was so delicious because the dumpling skin was soft and gooey and it was filled with fresh sweet durian meat!

Boring sweet potato mochi snack @ Panash

Panash (Tseung Kwan O)
Initially came here to get the chocolate souffle but it was rock hard when I used the bread tongs to pick them up.

Got the mochi because it was Sweet potato flavoured.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sweet potato mochi snack:
The sweet potato mochi looked interesting so decided to get one.
Usually the flavours are chocolate, berries, cheese or plain.
I was puzzled why it was not called a pontikege because it was a pontikege and not a mochi.
There was no sweet potato taste or real sweet potato pieces in it which was disappointing.
It just tasted like the plain pontikege so why call it Sweet potato.

Why is it called mousse when it is not mousse!

Crumbs (Jordan)

Walked past and noticed this Premium green tea mousse with green tea mochi so decided to try it.


At this branch you can dine there so the menu offers more variety than the other branches other which only offer froyo and scones.


I have tried their scones and froyo which were quite nice but not addictive enough to make me come back.

This branch only did takeaways according to the photos on Openrice.

Water is self service.

Premium green tea mousse:When I ordered it I was quite suspicious whether it was really mousse but the Chinese and English stated it was mousse so that was why I got it.

However when it arrived I was quite disappointed because it was not mousse, it was evidently a pudding so why call it mousse.


Luckily the dessert was ok and not too sweet and the mochi was nice.

Orange mochi @ Wing Wah

Shop: Wing Wah (Tseung Kwan O)

I was surprised to see that they had Orange flavoured mochi at Wing Wah Bakery because the style at Wing Wah is quite traditional.


There were two flavours orange or red bean.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Orange mochi:


The mochi was covered in coconut and there was orange filling encased with a layer of white bean paste.


The taste reminded me of the snowy mooncakes that they sell during Mid Autumn festival because of the white bean paste.
I would have preferred it if the orange flavour was more refreshing because the orange peel taste was more prominent.

Mysterious Black pearl @ BreadTalk

The name of this bread looked interesting because it was called the BLACK PEARL.

There was no indication on whether it was sweet or savoury but by the labelling I am guessing it was sweet because it was charcoal bread filled with black glutinous rice and mochi.

It was black and round.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
BLACK PEARL:
The filling in the charcoal bread was not that even because on the first bite it was mainly glutinous rice.


Towards the middle, there was less glutinous rice and more mochi.


The taste of this was quite nice because the bread itself was not too sweet and it was filled with chewy mochi and glutinous rice which gave it more depth.
The taste of the glutinous rice was quite strong which gives the bread most of its flavour along with its sweetness.

Black eye bean Chinese mochi @ Tai Cheong Bakery

I have not had these in ages so decided to get one from Tai Cheong at Diamond Hill.

Black eye bean mochi:

 

 

The glutinous rice mochi was stuck to a piece of lotus leaf with a black eye bean stuck to the top of it.
The mochi pastry was made from glutinous rice and flour, however I did not like it because it was slightly sweet, the black eye bean filling was delicious because it was in puree form and extremely silky.
There was lots of five spice powder in it.
