Mochi is a foreign invention. It originated in Japan. Koreans have it too. Ours is the palitaw.
People have become more imaginative in its uses and applications. It’s now my favorite yogurt topping. Notice the huge billboard along EDSA, meron na din sa JLO – JLO.
I must warn you. I do not advise older people to eat mochi when they are alone. In Japan, many seniors die from choking while eating mochi and sticky rice. Kaya dun sa mga mahilig din sa libreng tikoy pag Chinese New Year, be careful.
Make sure someone is always with you. Pagnabilaukan ka, meron agad dadagok sa likod mo. Kung hindi, hay naku. Goodbye world.
