Mochi Bread
I found this on one of my visits to T&T Supermarket. Sometimes a visit to their bakery section yields plenty of experimental surprises. I've had mochi bread from Korean bakeries before (addictive beings... but expensive). These looked like an attempt at the same, but tougher (aka drier), larger, and covered with crumbly shortbread cookie mixture. Although I would liken it to tough toffee (stale with slight chew) I was still strangely drawn to the batch. I found them amusing when slightly heated - they deflated. Even more interesting was the fact that they came in different colours (black and white), for what I suspected to be a black sesame and a plain version. The black one didn't taste like sesame and had a tougher texture (like taffy).
