Mochilok

In Malaysia mochi or mua chi is something i look forward to eating, it always reminds me of white glutinous sticky dough cut into small pieces using scissors and then mixed with crushed nuts and sugar. yumm yumm.. brings back old memories, But more and more mochi stalls are closing, i mean the authentic home made ones, and the new comercialized ones are taking over. :(  hopefully uncle that sells on jonker street, ,melaka is still surviving in this rough money minded world. i will be back to give you business :)

BTW, Title sounds a bit odd but actually it stands for mochi and cilok which is also a stall name. As for the mochi, in this stall, its totally different in a way, its chewy but has a more like icy ice cream feel, without any nuts or sugar. They also have cilok which are balls made out of starch flour filled with something, couldn't guess it. The cilok here was steamed and then grilled with bbq sauce..ohlala~

The stall is situated in Sekeloa, so near to where i work and study.. but i never heard of it till recently. When walking in to the alley way, leading to the stall we can see people carrying small styrofoam boxes which is definitely from the stall. Stall was packed when we reached, but still we squeezed ourselves in and ordered all the flavors available! they tend to be sold out by evening :) it costs around rm 1 for one mochi.



all the flavors available

its almost like icecream except with a chewy texture

Cilok with something inside
 p/s: in Indonesia, durians are really pricey, its like crazy pricing, so as substitute for my cravings, durian pancake! it tastes almost the same. gotta go for durian buffet when i come back. :D
