takoyaki = takoyummy

This is one of my favourite treats from Japan! They are called "Takoyaki" (Tako= Octopus / Yaki = grilled/cooked)



Basically it is like a yummy savoury batter with a bit of octopus tentacle in the middle, and they are grilled in a special pan like so:


Then you flip them with a skewer and cook the other side so they look like this:


Then you put on that delicious brown sauce (like the one use don okonomiyaki) and some mayo, some seaweed, bonito flakes, and my fave is spring onions - yumm yum yummy!

I would love to make these at home but i really need the pan i think. Plus i can't imagine i would cook them too often heh. I can always go to "Tomodachi" at Melbourne Central for some AMAAAZZINNG Takoyaki. Theirs is the yummiest i have tried (in Melbourne...so far), so if you are keen, i'd go there for it! Plus their prices are pretty good :)
