Looks like a balance of crunchiness and gooeyness !
Tried these artisanal mochi for the first time too . The peach ones are sweeter .
Forgot to take photos of opened ones ! After carefully opening the delicate pretty wrapper , just wanted to savour them & popped them right in !
And for one who does not usually eat mochi too ..

white rice
bok choy (not bbc because Ive actually found organic bok choy at a lower cost than Costco bbc)
spouses leftover supermarket sushi

Kin Khao is owned by Pim Techamuanvivit who also owns Nari - she has been a prolific blogger for years and posted many authentic and wonderful Thai recipes before her current incarnation -her recipe for Pad Thai can still be found by a search from when she was blogging as chezpim.
https://web.baz.org/adam/recipes/pad_thai_for_be.html
She is an incredibly gifted writer as well as chef, etc. She also took over as chef for a one Michelin star restaurant in Bangkok a short while ago until covid hit and was commuting btwn SF and BKK - at the time she had recently opened Nari (which is now doing take out) a much larger and upscale place than Kin Khao . Im sure she is well aware of the use of the greeting which is commonly used as a greeting - sort of meaning have you eaten yet - but not literally
If you want to find out about an amazing chef/woman/writer you can see some of her recent postings on twitter and her recent interview regarding the difficulty of owning/running a restaurant in these times.
How is rice a stigma in China?????

we all are in San Francisco :-)
china / rice - all Ill say is that business meals with exporters and factory owners and agents didnt include rice. Mega sigh. This was 1992-2006; I havent returned since early 2007 and Im hoping to never return. China, HK, Taiwan.
