There's been a lot of buzz about bread ever since the pandemic had people starting sourdough in their homes. Well move over, sourdough starter, it's time to make way for mou, the newest dough to hit the beach cities by storm.
What's the hype all about? What is in these cute little cubes of coveted bread?
They house ingredients savory and sweet, ranging from salty, savory curry beef and a fragrant,
fatty bacon edamame to a sweet red bean
and a soft and airy custard.
The fillings are exciting, but the original should not be missed. With nothing inside to distract from the texture, you can fully appreciate that spongy, chewy, lighter-than-air mochi-dough, and it's so good you'll just eat it plain. Just be sure to enjoy it the day you buy it. This is one of those things that ages by the hour.
There are consolation prizes like this gorgeous chocolate melon pan with a crispy crust for when they're out of mou or for monsters who somehow hate mochi, but I think there are plenty of places that make these other pastries just as well.
Now that the hype has faded, there should still be a sensible selection at lunchtime so be sure to drop by when you can. It's just bread, but it's the only bread you'll ever need.
