Finally tried the mochi from this place after lurking for a long time, and what I can say is that they have now secured a customer for their future mochi releases -[PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY DAIFUKU MOCHI] $5.25 * The filling is your standard of what would be in a typical peanut butter and jelly sandwich (with strawberry jelly) * Personal preference for me would be raspberry jelly but I could see how the added seeds might throw off the filling's texture * Messier to eat than the other one especially after cutting it in half for the cross section shot but still totally worth it -[STRAWBERRY RED BEAN DAIFUKU MOCHI] $6.00 * The filling for this is their own homemade red bean paste, and as advertised, it truly wasn't too sweet (this is the ultimate compliment for Asian desserts haha) * The strawberry topping it was MASSIVE in a great way * I'm super interested in trying their matcha version so I will be keeping my eyes peeled as to not miss out on the next time it returns The price might look a little steep but it is a home bakery started by a mochi loving girl (Tracy), and her mom. I promise you, every dollar is worth it when it comes to their mochi read more

Really enjoyed the pandan mango mochi, it was the perfect amount of sweetness and filling. It was soft and chewy, and it got us reaching for more. The butter mochi was different and not something I've had before but some how the taste was familiar, it was also my mothers favourite! The watermelon basil was the more unique one and I don't know if I liked it. The watermelon made the mochi a little soggy and it was very messy to eat, I also felt like the basil was too over powering. Overall I look forward in trying the other flavours! read more

Best mochi ever!!!!! I've already place 3 orders and now just patiently waiting for new flavours (and reopening - argh covid!). I came across @chubbirice on Instagram and was intrigued with Tracy's take on mochi. My first order was the hojicha and each mochi was so big and full of filling. My next order I immediately jumped at the opportunity when it was the pink strawberries. It was such a hit when I shared it at a dinner. The third order I couldn't say no as it was Christmas and with the fluid nature of the pandemic, I had to order again to support before Tracy had to shut down temporarily. Looking forward to reopening! read more

One of the best Mochi I have ever had, quality and taste is very comparable to Japan! So chewy and flavourful. My favourite was the pumpkin flavour, a very rich and creamy filling. The little pumpkin, It's so cute! I really enjoyed the strawberry inside the hojicha Mochi as well. Tasted fresh and sweet. The Hawaiian butter one was savoury, flavour was subtle which makes you focus more on the texture of the Mochi, which was perfectly chewy. Will def order again to try the different flavours! Fantastic job to small business owners, Tracy and her momma! read more

Chubbi Rice - Pumpkin, strawberry hojicha, Hawaiian butter - Desserts Near Me

Chubbi Rice (they're now offering downtown pickups!) Tracy (the founder) and her mom put lots of love and into each mochi dessert. This time around, I tried their Chocolate Strawberry Ganache Daifuku Mochi and Sesame Daifuku Mochi. Here's how it went... -------- The Breakdown: Chocolate Strawberry Ganache | $9 | 9/10 - chocolate wrapped with mochi and topped with fresh strawberry. I enjoyed this one especially for the combination of dark chocolate with strawberry and mochi. All flavours were well balanced. Sesame Daifuku | $9 | 9/10 - mochi stuffed with sesame and nuts. This was an interesting one for me since I didn't usually eat sesame desserts. I've only tried sesame ice cream. If you're a sesame lover, this is for you! Packaging | 10/10 - love how their packaging is beautiful and eco-friendly. The branding is in on point and Im in love with how cute the logo is. They usually do pickups in Markham but now they finally have downtown pickup in case you're not close to the Markham area. New flavours will be released soon.

Craving some delicious daifuku mochis in the GTA? Chubbi Rice is the place to go! I am in love with her packaging because of its simple and cute design. Now let's talk about the mochis!! These soft and chewy mochis are literally the best. I am inlove with the pillowy texture of the mochi along with the fillings. The fillings were not overwhelmingly sweet which is a must for Asian moms haha. The tiramisu mochi is perfect for tiramisu and mochi lovers. The ladyfingers are soaked in rum and coffee hence the delicious texture and taste. My ultimate favorite is their Hawaiian butter mochi that is topped with coconut + black sesame. Mochi was super soft and chewy. I love how creative these flavours are so if you guys want to give these a try order now! Please check her out and support her small business because you wont regret it. The owner is the nicest and sweetest! read more

Received these as a wedding favour and loved it! We had two different types of mochi - pumpkin and red bean with a strawberry on top, and both were delicious! The texture was soft and fluffy, and the flavour was nice and sweet. read more

Gorgeous mochi in seasonal flavours. So far, I've tried strawberry red bean daifuku, watermelon basil, and pumpkin. I'm missing peanut butter and jelly but I hope to try that one soon. The mochi exterior is always perfectly balanced between soft and chewy. They're best the day of, but I've had them the morning after and they're still absolutely delightful. Each flavor has a different design and all of them are beautiful. Strawberry red bean daifuku - traditional. Tracy, the founder of Chubbirice, insists on only seasonal fruit, so this was a summer flavour, but when it was available, each strawberry was perfectly plump, juicy, and oh so fragrant. I'm not a fan of red bean but the sweetness in the red bean perfectly balanced the tartness of the strawberry. This one's a more subtle, delicate flavour. Watermelon basil - This one was a summer flavour too. It's a chunk of sweet, crisp watermelon wrapped in mochi with a basil leaf on top. It sounds a bit basic, but the flavour is also a love/hate one. I enjoy it. The soft, chewy mochi really brings out the crisp texture of the watermelon. That surprised me quite a bit. In fact, while I was trying to process how I felt about this mochi, I had a second one. It grew on me. Pumpkin - This one's here for the fall! I tried this one this past weekend at my brother's wedding (Chubbirice provided the wedding favours). As someone who likes more pronounced flavours, this one was my favourite. It looks like an adorable little pumpkin with a little cashew stem, and is filled with pumpkin pie. Literally. Crust and all. It's an incredible pumpkin pie too. Wonderfully spiced. The mochi really balances out all the pumpkin flavours. At about $4 each (they come in boxes of 4 or 9), they're not super cheap, but given how much work goes into each mochi, entirely justifiable for the price. Looking forward to seeing what other flavours are to come! read more

I tried these as a gift and had the strawberry matcha daifuku. They looked super cute and were very tasty. The tartness of the big strawberry on top balanced out the sweetness of the mochi and matcha filling. The mochi itself was soft and chewy and tasted very fresh. Would love to try their other flavours sometime. It's nice to see small home bakeries grow and gain popularity! read more

A new month means new flavours! For the months April and May, Chubbi Rice offers 3 different flavours of mochis: Tiramisu Daifuku, Strawberry Matcha Daifuku, and Butter Mochi! The Butter Mochi has a subtle sweet flavour with some toasted coconut and sesame on top. I loved the strong matcha flavour in the strawberry matcha daifuku. My favourite though would have to be the tiramisu daifuku. The tiramisu flavour works really well with the chewy mochi. I can't wait to see what flavours Tracy and her mom comes up with next month! read more

A new spot for mochi in Toronto that is a must try. Currently, they are only offering curbside pickup in Markham, but everything is kept contactless which is perfect in our current times. Easily order via their website for select dates! I had the pleasure of trying out their first three flavors releases: 1. STRAWBERRY & RED BEAN: A daifuku classic featuring a mochi filled with semi-sweet red bean paste and a whole strawberry fruit. I personally found the sweetness level of the red bean to be perfect, being offset a little by the subtly tart strawberry (which, as you know, can vary seasonally). Red bean isn't a personal favorite of mine, but Tracy executed this nicely as the paste was quite smooth and not grainy at all. I love the incorporation of a real fruit, which gives this treat a splash of freshness. This was literal perfection, and for that, I give it a 5/5. 2. PB&J: Bringing a twist on this sandwich classic to make it an innovative mochi flavor! Though I'm not huge on jam, I liked how this had a very jello-y consistency, which was neat. The jelly was slightly tart, which greatly contrasted the saltiness of the peanut butter. The PB was crunchy as well, meaning there was complexity in texture for each bite. Honestly, I loved the peanut butter so much that I would love for Tracy to make a mochi with just that! (4.7/5) 3. WATERMELON BASIL: Such a unique flavor for a mochi that this was definitely my first time trying this combination. I highly recommend you take Tracy's advice and chill this mochi prior to consumption, as my impatient nurse-self who needed to sleep prior to a shift did not do so, and I think it compromised the overall texture slightly because of the juice from the fruit. Otherwise, this had "summer fresh" written all over it and pairing it with basil was genius and worked so well. There was also quite a contrast in texture between the crunchy watermelon and chewy mochi (4.5/5) All in all, Tracy has her mochi technique down pat! It's so smooth to touch and perfectly chewy. Her ratios between skin to filling are also perfect. You have to check her goods out! read more

It's safe to say my favourite dessert is now Chubbi's mochi. Pick up was a breeze, they use sustainable packaging and it's so aesthetically pleasing. I highly recommend everyone to try it at least once. The only concern is that it is a bit pricy, but seeing the packaging and the quality of the mochi's make me think they're worth it. Thank you Tracy & Tracy's mom!! :) read more
