Chestnut Glutinous Rice "fruit" cake

Taste

We got pretty addicted to mochis when we were in Japan, so have been looking for a fill ever since we got back. However, the ones imported from Japan were all very expensive, so we decided to try the Taiwanese product instead. The outer was a bit tougher than the Jap ones, but still pleasant. I can't really taste the chestnut filling, but the sweet sticky mess was ok, blending nicely with the glutinous outer.

Look

Not as cool as the Jap version, the colour scheme is just tacky, and the drawings aren't cute enough! However, they still came individually wrapped for convenience.

C-factor

300g for around $8, still expensive, but believe me, a lot cheaper than those made in Japan.
