@amike.oosthuizen started her taste test with the chocolate mochi, expressing pleasant surprise at its rich and creamy flavour.

"I mean, if you like mochi, this is gonna be good. And if you like chocolate, you will like this one," she said, rating it eight out of 10.

Next up was the mango mochi, which didn’t quite impress her as much as she stated the following in the clip that she uploaded on 20 October 2025.

"Not as crazy about this one as the chocolate one. I’m gonna give it like a six out of 10."

She explained that she wasn’t fond of the combination of the chewy outer layer with the ice cream filling. "It’s not my favourite," she added with a laugh.

Finally, @amike.oosthuizen sampled the salted caramel mochi, which quickly became her top pick. Beaming with delight, she declared:

"I love salted caramel. This one is really good, the salted caramel flavour, 10 out of 10!"

The TikTok user @amike.oosthuizen's video has since gained traction online as Mzansi food lovers shared their own opinions, with many agreeing that Woolies’ mochi offers a unique treat worth trying. Her honest review has sparked curiosity among dessert enthusiasts eager to discover which flavour will win their hearts.
