mochi are sticky rice flour sweets with different fillings. everyone knows them from japan, but they’re a big thing in taiwan as well, with different flavors and variations. there was a stall next to our airbnb in taipei that did them right there on the street, and they were amazing — especially the one with ground peanut inside, though the red bean was also pretty good.

our favorites though were given to us by a local postcrosser, and had fresh strawberries inside. 😍 so, so good!

i have some sticky rice flour at home, so i think i might try my hand at making them one day!
