Ever since I bought my beloved takoyaki grill pan, I’ve been dying to make my own takoyaki. But. I don’t have a reliable recipe. I’ve been researching but I only manage to find one recipe that seems authentic enough and the rest I keep on searching for diets that work fast for women. I want to be able to eat lots and lots of takoyaki and stay slim).  If I want an authentic takoyaki, then I must have all the japanese ingredients that aren’t readily available in the supermarkets here. I resigned myself to to replicate the local takoyaki versions here, like Samurai’s and Takuyaki.

(Served with A1 Steak sauce as substitute for Takoyaki sauce and mayonnaise.)

I made a few number of attempts before, but the balls are too dense, it was tiring for my jaw to chew. So if I am craving for Takoyaki, I had no choice but to buy, even though I wasn’t happy with that fact that I have to buy even when I can make some since I have a takoyaki grill pan.

Niño of Cebu (or Basilica Minore del Santo Niño) we headed to Larsian branch closest to where we were and it was in Fuente Osmeña Circle.
