Thank you to our sponsor for the complimentary donuts!
I love donuts, and I love mochi, so it's no surprise that I am a huge fan of mochi donuts! Unlike traditional yeast or cake donuts, mochi donuts are made with tapioca flour and in the shape of a teething ring. Then the donuts are glazed or frosted with different flavors and add-ons.
There are a handful of bakeries on Oahu making their own versions of mochi donuts. About 5 weeks ago,
Mochi Do Hawaii opened in Waikiki, becoming the second shop in Waikiki to sell mochi donuts.
Recently, Mochi Do Hawaii's operation manager reached out to me on Instagram and invited me to sample their mochi donuts. I gave him a date and time and when I pulled up to their curbside pick up location, the donuts were waiting for me. I love curbside service!
Mochi Do Hawaii rotates their flavors every week. They have select flavors available in 4-packs, and an "Xplorer Pack", which consists of a 6-pack of the week's flavors.
For this particular week, the flavors are: cinnamon sprinkles, strawberry banana, chocolate crispies, mango, double espresso, and banana.
My sons and I sampled each of the 6 flavors - D really liked the double espresso and B liked the cinnamon sprinkles. I liked all 6 of them! The flavors are very subtle and the donuts in general are not overly sweet. The texture is very soft and chewy!
We were also given a 4-pack of Peanut Butter to try. I am a big fan of this one! Unfortunately, you cannot get the peanut butter donut in the Xplorer pack due to allergy concerns.
What I really like about Mochi Do Hawaii is that you order your donuts online and pick them up curbside (just pull in to the Waikiki Monarch Hotel and look for the Mochi Do signs - you can't miss it). So easy!
