There are just unlimited sorts of rice cakes, ranging from unsweetened ones, which are not necessarily meant as a dessert, to the amazingly tasteful sweet ones, which almost beat any chocolate i've ever eaten. A few days back i received a box full with the yummiest rice cakes ever (photos below). There were more to start with, but some got sacrificed on the way to my office. That was a very long 10 minutes walk.. resisting the temptation.. "Eat me, eat me, eat me"...
What i most like about rice cakes is the soft, kinda jelly but not really jelly, partially sticky feeling u have when chewing them. It feels like the unbaked dough i loved to eat when i was little.
Below are my favorite rice cakes from the usual range (not considering the fancy ones i got in the box). By usual, i mean those that u can literally find at any street corner, u don't have to get them in specialized shops:
- Second place: - sweet rice cake with red bean filling. To me this is a lot like the japanesse mochi (guess koreans would kill me if they read this :D).
- First place : unsweetened rice cake, no filling, red bean powder on the outside. I love the outside powder (first row in the photo). It's just so yummi!!
now it rains in my mouth.... :P
