Hello everyone! Hope you are all having an excellent eidul fitr! After a long long time I'm here once again to share a little something with you, so I'd appreciate if you read it and keep following us!
Wanted to share my experience with M’oishi - Bangladesh as I picked some two of their items from Chef's Table Dhaka dhanmondi branch. My wife has been telling me that she wants to try mochi for a long time, so I was looking for some place where I would get this Japanese dessert. Since I'm living abroad for studies I couldn't do anything until I came home at the end of this Ramadan for just a few days. However I found out that M'oishi Bangladesh is known for having Japanese mochi ice cream in their menu.
I wanted it the day before Eid but they told me that it was unavailable and it would be available on the day of Eid, and I didn't have much problem with that.
So yesterday I went there and ordered the mochis for takeaway. Because my wife was at home and I wanted to pick up the mochis and reach home as early as possible because the ice cream would otherwise melt.
Now let's give you my honest feedback.
I ordered:
🟥mochi icecream with vanilla flavour- 140 tk
🟧mochi icecream with butterscotch flavour- 140 tk
🟨mango flavoured mochi roll- 280 tk (I was just eager to try this one too as it looked interesting)
Before the feedback let me just introduce you to mochi ice cream if you didn't know about it before-
♦️Mochi is a Japanese dessert featuring soft chewy mochi (pounded glutinous rice) dough wrapped around a scoop of ice cream.
The packaging was decent. However, trying mochi for the first time, the mochis didn't impress me. My wife then told me that it is supposed to be softer and more chewy, but I really don't know whether it was authentic or not. However, it didn't impress me because it just seemed like a scoop of ice cream inside some thin roti like coating. Those who are eager to try this one, obviously you should try but in my opinion it tastes nothing special. Either they need to make it authentic or if it is authentic then I guess this is what it is.
However, the mochi roll did not seem right. That was because of a strong flavour of raw egg coming from the outer layer of the roll. It tasted disgusting because of this strong flavour, though I didn't really know whether it is seemed to taste and smell like this or not, so I can't really say that it was their fault. If someone here is actually experienced in mochis, you can help us with the right answer. However to me and my wife it tasted awful and I had to finish it by myself forcefully as I always try not to waste any food. Otherwise I'd have just thrown it to the bin.
My personal rating would be like this:
🟩Mochi ice cream: 5/10
🟦Mochi roll: 2/10
However, their customer service is something I'd like to praise, because I had some conversations with them on messenger before I decided to go there and they were very polite and helpful. Also they were quick to respond.
Thank you so much for this long read. You are free to share your opinions and experiences with us!
