Takoyaki at Kameyaki

#032eatdrink, food, cebu, takoyaki, japanese food
Since I promised to come back to try their new product: takoyaki. I came here with a heavy tummy. Took quite a big meal at BUDDIES which by the way is just across! 

Takoyaki literally means grilled octopus! This is a ball-shaped Japanese snack which is made of a batter which can be wheat-flour based or made from an egg-rich type of batter. Usually filled with minced or slices of octopus, pickled ginger and green onion. Once cooked, it is drizzled with takoyaki sauce which looks like Worcestershire sauce and mayonnaise! Shavings of bonito flakes or nori bits are then sprinkled on top.

This is cooked in a cast iron takoyaki mold which is only half spherical. The talent lies in the cook who will use a pick to turn the batter to the side and add more to then form a ball. It was amazing to watch!

New products posted on the wall! :)
 The next few photos are a succession of how a takoyaki is formed.

Cool huh? I say AWESOME! :P

We had it to go since I was already full. Will save it for my early dinner prior to logging in for work. It was placed on a paper box with a hefty drizzle of sauce and mayo and nori bits! Wooot. :)

Sorry if the balls look crinkled, it took awhile until I reached the office. And due to the heat and travel, they sort of look unappetizing. Don't let the wrinkles bug you! They remained warm and the sauce seeped in which was a treat! They tasted really savory. The sauce was a wonderful blend of sweet from the mayonnaise, tangy and salty from the takoyaki sauce. The squid is a wonderful surprise! It was a steal at Php90 for 6! If you plan to have authentic Japanese themed snack or heck day, head out to Talamban and get yourselves some Yakisoba and my favorite Okonomiyaki! They never fail to deliver! The waitstaff even remembered us when we came by and was hoping to come back soon if not soonest. I sure will! :)
