Where to Find the Best Freshly Made Mochi in Rome
Now, I don’t know about you guys, maybe I’m just a little weird, but when it comes to food cravings, I definitely go through phases. I’ve had my double-stuffed Oreo phase, my salty popcorn phase, my sour candy phase, and my latest one is oddly specific too: mochi.
If you’re not familiar with it, mochi is a soft and chewy Japanese rice cake made from glutinous rice that’s pounded into a smooth, sticky dough, which is then used to make the most delicious desserts. Personally, I’m obsessed with the chewy texture, and I used to always buy the boxed ones from my favourite Korean supermarket in Rome. For research purposes, I went on a hunt through Rome to find the best freshly made mochi by bakeries and pastry shops, and I can tell you, I was not disappointed.
The Best Asian Bakeries in Rome: From Chinese Buns to Japanese Pastries
One of my favourite things to do in life is discovering new food places and of course sharing them with you.

For this blog post, I explored some of the best Asian bakeries in Rome that brought something new and refreshing to my pastry game. I visited both Chinese and Japanese bakeries, and I must say I can’t wait to share these places with you.
Best Cinemas in Rome for English Movies: Cinema Barberini, Troisi and More
Since it’s autumn in Rome, the weather is getting colder (at least for Italian standards), and I’m slowly getting into my sweater vibes. Think baking cookies, drinking more tea, and of course, watching movies. One of my favourite things to do, alone or with friends, is going to the cinema. There’s just something about stepping into a cozy room for two hours, completely disconnected from the rest of the world, snacks in hand.
In Rome, and in Italy in general, most cinema movies are dubbed into Italian, which makes them quite hard to follow if you’re a tourist, expat, or international student. In this blog post, I’ll tell you all about the cinemas in Rome that show movies in V.O.S. (versione originale). This way you can enjoy the best cinemas in Rome while watching your favourite movies in English.
