11 places to get stretchy mochi bread in Singapore

While mochi may still be seen as a traditional Japanese dessert to some, this satisfyingly chewy and stretchy treat has worked its way into modern breads and buns at local bakeries. 

Though Taiwanese bakeries were the first to popularise putting mochi in bread, the massive growth in popularity of the mochi pull has resulted in everyday bakeries in Singapore jumping on board the trend to create their own stretchy delights.

In search of where to get the stretchiest, most satisfying mochi breads? Look no further, for here are 11 places in Singapore to get your mochi bread fix.

1. MuYoo

Whenever I think of mochi bread, MuYoo is the first bakery that comes to mind. 

This Taiwanese-inspired bakery’s popularity skyrocketed when they launched their Taiwan Mochi Breads, with their Black Sesame Mochi Bread (S$3) and Peanut Mochi Bread (S$3) being their all-time most popular bakes.

MuYoo’s mochi fillings stand out due to its opaque appearance. Unlike traditional mochi, which tends to taste like rice flour, MuYoo’s mochi was sweet and more slippery in texture, which I enjoyed. Their Black Sesame Mochi Bread and Peanut Mochi Bread are must-buys if you ever visit their store. You’ll notice the two breads for their unique star shape.

MuYoo has even expanded to introduce other new and innovative mochi bread flavours, with one of them being QQ Flat Flat (S$2.30), which is filled with sweet potato, yam and brown sugar mochi

The brown sugar mochi has a stickier texture and a stronger taste of molasses, compared to MuYoo’s regular mochi. Stuffed generously with natural tasting sweet potato and yam, this bread is worth the S$2.30 price tag.

MuYoo’s other mochi bread offerings include the Matcha Mochi Bread (S$3), Choz Banana QQ (S$3) and Black Glutinous QQ (S$2.40). With one of the largest mochi bread varieties in Singapore, mochi bread lovers can always count on MuYoo for a delicious mochi bread fix.

They also have a Mochi Tarik series consisting of three buns: Chocolate Mochi Tarik, Pumpkin Yam Mochi Tarik and Purple Potato Yam Mochi Tarik. Each bun is affordably priced at S$2.40.

The Taiwanese bakery, Wu Pao Chun, went viral because of its two popular mochi breads, Nutty Together and Sesame Joy. Priced at S$2.80 each, these buns are filled with peanut butter and black sesame respectively, along with a smooth and stretchy dollop of white mochi.

Though they are smaller in size compared to the other mochi breads in this listicle, the quality of these bakes make them well worth the price.

Baked in old-school metal tins, Thai Baang Bakery’s mochi breads are sold in boxes of two pieces for S$3.50. Select from flavours such as Black Sesame, Peanut, Red Bean and Yam Floss.

With pillowy soft bread and generous fillings, I enjoyed the textures of Thai Baang Bakery’s mochi bread. I personally found the Yam Floss Mochi to be slightly bland, but the yam tasted incredibly natural. The Black Sesame Mochi, on the other hand, had been mixed with mung bean, making it less nutty than I’d have liked, but the stretchy, chewy mochi itself did not disappoint.

Though it is a home-based business, Rakki’s Mochi Milk Buns (S$27) have garnered massive popularity. In the early days of the business, the mochi buns would even sell out in minutes! Available in the flavours of matcha and black sesame, Rakki brings a modern twist to these popular Japanese ingredients.  

Enveloped in a soft milk bun, filled with silky white mochi and sprinkled with sweet icing sugar, it is no wonder that these little buns became so popular after their launch. For the black sesame lovers, you can even get all nine milk buns in black sesame for S$29

With flavours that aren’t very common among other bakeries, Bakery M’s mochi breads do stand out. My personal favourites were the Hainan Kaya Mochi and Peanut Butter Mochi, which had sweet and creamy fillings that paired nicely with the stretchy mochi.
