E: Even before I walked in this restaurant, my jaw dropped. Mochilato, a dessert joint in Irvine, serves up absolutely humongous dishes of shaved ice/ice cream/mochi desserts. As I was walking in, one of the outdoor tables just received their massive order, and I couldn't help but say (aloud): "WOW!"Mochilato (mochi+gelato) mixes up the desserts in every which way: gelato, mochi, mochi and gelato, shaved ice, shaved ice with gelato, shaved ice with gelato and fruit, shaved ice with gelato, fruit and mochi, waffles and gelato and fruit, etc. etc. etc. This is dessert heaven for the indecisive and those who have an affinity for Hawaiian shaved ice.
The top photo is of the "lovers" bowl done "mochilato style," which is a blend of the Japanese style (green tea shaved ice, red beans, mochi) and the Italian style (strawberry shaved ice, strawberry ice cream, strawberries, bananas, mango). I think there was vanilla ice cream and kiwi, too.
R: The warm waffle, the cold gelato, the fresh strawberries. Love it! It's a bit like having a funnel cake. Maybe not as greasy. But quite tasty.
R: There are plenty of flavors to choose from, but I'm very traditional - strawberry, chocolate or vanilla.Mochilato
