Taipan Bakery Mango Mochi: Mango Mochi is having a moment on social media, so I decided to try out a few from NYC's Chinatown. First up was Taipan Bakery, a long-standing Chinese bakery with locations in Chinatown and Flushing. The mango mochi was available in the pastry display case and cost $3. Unlike the mango mochi I had seen on the Internet, this one did not have fresh mango on the inside but instead had a orangish-yellow cream. It appears both the cream and mochi have been flavored with mango, but there is no actual pieces of fruit. However, the mochi itself has a great texture and is dusted with just enough shredded coconut to prevent the mochi from sticking to your fingers. The cream itself is also nice and light. If you like mochi, I can't see why you wouldn't enjoy this dessert. 4.0/5.0
