I was craving for sweets after delivering some bags from my online shop last night. But, at around 9:00pm, my options were limited as many shops close early here in Manila. After a long 'mini...mini...MINIMO' moment, we finally decided on some 'MOCHI'.
We headed to Dezato Cafe in New Manila for some Japanese dessert. This was just my second time having this dessert from Dezato & I didn't realize how much I love it after trying it again.
We got the 1-dozen of premium chocolate mochi in regular size which costs P395. This also comes in bite size which is priced P220.
Mochi is a Japanese dessert that is made of rice. It is traditionally made in a ceremeony mochitsuki which is a Japanese mochi pounding party. It is also eaten year-round but is most commonly eaten during New Year which is also when the Motchutsuki is held.
Eating mochi dessert is a one of a kind experience. The texture of mochi is heavenly! If you haven't tried eating mochi before, you'll be surprised at first bite. There is no other dessert as SOFT & SMOOTH! It's just so nice.
The second surprise is how flavorful the filling in the middle is as you bite deeper inside the rice cake which makes it perfect. The filling is so rich & creamy. Yum!
My favorite is the Mochi Balls filled with Belgian chocolate Truffle.
Dezato Cafe is located at 100 Hemady St. New Manila. They also serve coffee, tea, pasta, pizza, milkshakes, sandwich, appetizers, soup & other desserts.
