Freshly Handcrafted Mochi Delights at Nuo Yuan, Johor Bahru

#summervacay While exploring Johor Bahru, we stumbled upon a hidden gem called Nuo Yuan Mochi at Holiday Villa, and it quickly stole our hearts. What makes this place truly special is their commitment to crafting every mochi fresh from scratch, only after you place your order. That attention to freshness really shows in every bite — soft, chewy, and bursting with authentic flavor. We indulged in two of their standout flavors: the strawberry daifuku and peanut taro. The strawberry daifuku was a perfect harmony of sweet, juicy fruit wrapped in a delicate, pillowy mochi skin that melted in the mouth. The peanut taro, on the other hand, was rich and velvety, with a comforting earthiness that made it feel like a warm, nostalgic hug. Both had that ideal chewy texture that’s so addictive and fresh, not rubbery or overdone. The space itself is just as charming as the mochi—painted in a sunny, uplifting yellow that immediately brightens the mood. It’s a small but inviting corner, cozy and cheerful, where the joyful energy matches the care and craftsmanship put into every mochi. The vibe makes it easy to slow down, savor your treat, and maybe even chat with the friendly staff who clearly love what they do. Nuo Yuan Mochi isn’t just a quick dessert stop; it feels like a little celebration of tradition and quality in every bite. If you’re in JB and looking for something sweet, authentic, and handcrafted with love, this is definitely a spot to add to your list. We’ll be coming back to try more flavors and soak in that happy yellow glow again soon. #couplestrip #travel #myitinerary #localfood #afternoonteatime
