This is the Strawberry Mochi ($11.00, fixed ice, fixed sweetness) from Tiger Sugar. It featured layers of mango jelly, sago, strawberry purée, drinkable mochi, and fresh strawberries and was topped with milk.
When consumed chilled and shaken, the beverage was an opaque pastel pink hue with red and orange flecks dispersed within. The strawberry flavour dominated, bringing forth its pronounced sweetness, reminiscent of Korean strawberry milk. This sweetness was harmonized by the mild tang of freshly diced strawberries. The presence of mango jelly and sago contributed a delightful chewy element. A particularly unexpected delight was the drinkable mochi, characterized by its incredibly soft and slightly chewy texture. This imparted a sumptuously rich and creamy thickness that could be conveniently savoured through a straw. The overall drink was gratifying, and substantial enough to serve as a standalone meal.
This Strawberry Mochi was purchased from Tiger Sugar in Sydney, Australia in July 2023.
