Bliss is currently blooming in my head. :)
If God made food, this has got to be one of His mighty creations. Since Jack and I had the RARE chance to skive a little today after our subject pool, we decided to conquer Ion@Orchard for the second time round. And we found Gindako.
Just a brief introducation, since there seems to be a thousand and one Japanese food stalls at the Ion, Gindako originated from Japan, selling Takoyaki as its main product. And judging from the Japanese site, it seems like they hadn't changed a bit in terms of their serving proportion and presentation, which is a pretty daring strategy in a foreign market.
Each little takoyaki of is packed to the max with a huge chunk of octopus, tempura flakes, red pickled ginger and green onion, cooked fresh before your eyes, and served in a boat-shaped wooden dish and topped with teriyaki sauce, mayo, bonito flakes and seaweed flakes. Mmmm...... Jack and I had 10 to ourselves for dinner, and it's surprising how it filled my stomach, despite giving Jack all the tako chunks. CHUNKS! It's not those miserable pieces of chopped up octopus pulp you see in other takoyaki stalls, but huge chunks with the suckers of the octopus still visible! And to have 10 takoyaki balls and 2 drinks of your choice for S$9.90, it's worth every single bite. Thinking of it still makes those gastric nerves tingle with happiness. :)
