Mochido is one of the newest addition to the mochi donut craze around Vancouver. They operate out of an industrial kitchen in Vancouver and offer new donut flavours to keep things interesting. You can head over to the mochido kitchen for walk-in or make pre-orders for pick-up.
I love mochi so I was excited to try these out. I’m used to super chewy mochi so I was expecting something with lots of texture. Unfortunately, it was not the case. While the mochi donuts had some chew to it, they were not comparable to your typical mochi texture.
We tried reheating them according to the reheating instructions and it did help so we recommend popping them in the microwave before eating.
Salted Brown Butter
This reminded us of caramel with its creamy caramel notes. We were missing some of the salt though because it was on a sweeter side.
Black Sesame
Surprisingly, this was one of our favourites! Sometimes simple is best because the black sesame flavour in this mochi donut was absolutely divine! It was nutty and had strong black sesame notes so if you’re not a fan of black sesame, this would not be the donut for you.
Taro
This was the one we were looking forward to trying the most because who doesn’t love taro? Unfortunately the taro flavour was subtle and it wasn’t as strong as we would have liked. The rice crisps on top were supposed to add crunch but they didn’t hold up so they ended up not being as textural as we would have liked.
Churro
I loveeee all things cinnamon sugar so I was excited to try this one out. The mochi donut was lightly dusted with sugar with hints of cinnamon and a drizzle on top. What surprised me was that the sugar
Raspberry Hibiscus
Our FAVOURITE donut of the bunch. It was tart from the raspberry and hibiscus but had sweetness from the icing. It was the perfect balance between all flavours and resulted in the perfect bite!
London Fog
If you’re a fan of earl grey tea, this is the donut for you! It had earl grey notes in the glaze
