Takoyaki balls

Have you tasted one before? If you haven’t… well then, this topic is for you. Get ready for this may trigger an uncontrollable state of salivation… careful wihihihi!

I discovered Takoyaki when I was strolling around the downtown area one time — the time when I was lonely and bored LOL. And just by reading the name “TAKOYAKI BALLS” splashed above the black and red stand, it instantly caught my attention… I was tickled with yet another taste-curiousity of mine again — always a victim of this. Takoyaki is served in threes (3 balls/serve) for a reasonable price of P17. And this just heightened the craving of my taste bud. So I immediately ordered one serve for a try. And then blam, I was like one of those characters in the Japanese Animated Cooking Master Boy where a taster exudes an exaggerating sensation of taste-satisfaction. But of course, I was able to contain myself. The rest is history and my girlfriend is already hooked… hehehe!

Out of curiosity again, I googled this out to check the recipe. And to my surprise, it’s factually more delicious in a real deal! Here, check this out!

Takoyaki is a popular Japanese dumpling made of batter, diced or whole baby octopus, tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger, konnyaku, and green onion, topped with okonomiyaki sauce, green laver (aonori), mayonnaise, and katsuobushi (fish shavings), originating from Osaka. Making takoyaki requires a takoyaki pan, a special frying pan made of cast iron with hemispherical molds.

Although takoyaki can easily be made at home if the equipment is available, it is usually considered to be fast food and mostly sold on the streets. Frozen takoyaki are also sold, and there are restaurants in which customers can cook their own takoyaki at their tables. Takoyaki is generally eaten as a snack food.

And here’s for your viewing pleasure wihihihi!

Now, go! Go get yourself “Takoyakied”!!! If you live in Dumaguete City, you can find the stand inside Ever Mall.
