日本大好き - Strawberry Daifukumochi いちご大福餅

As an Asian, the usual cake that we grow up with is a little different with western, as we tend to heavily reply on various types of rice flour, and starch on our sweet and savoury snack. And one of my all-time favourite even since I was a kid is Mochi. Mochi is usually referred to any glutinous flour products but in Japan, mocha is generally referred to any traditional cake.

What I love the most of these Mochi is the chewy texture, traditionally the chewiness was made from continuously pounding from cooked rice to paste. But now a day, thing was so much easier for us, you do not need to pound til you sweat to make these delicious traditional Mochi, all you need is just a microwave and it will be ready in less than 30 minutes.

日本大好き - Warabi Mochi (蕨餅)

Last Sunday I brought my parent to try the Ippudo Ramen at Westfield which was delicious and yet fatty (most fatty food is yum). And which remind me of my previous holiday in Japan. So later the night, I was craving for something glutinous sweet but don’t want to get fat from eating late at night. So I made this guilt free confectionary which very popular in Kansai area of Japan during Summer time. Also one of my must eat food whenever I travel to Japan.
