Food Trip Friday | Takoyaki

I’ve been a busy bee lately. Not only online but more of my offline life.

As some of you know, I have a one month old son named Zack and he got sick a few days ago. But he’s all well now - thanks to medicines that her pedia prescribed and a big thank you to our Almighty Father for making him well.

Anyways, I can’t believe its Friday once again (which burdens me more because I miss someone so dear that I didn’t have any text or call from him lately – hopefully tomorrow it will be better day for me!;)). Now that it’s Friday, it’s time for our Food Trip for this week.

Here’s my food entry:

Does anybody here know what this is?

This is called as Takoyaki or Fried Octopus. Yup! An octopus! This dish originated from Japan and it has been hitting waves there ever since. Well, it has been our favorite snack since it was introduced in the malls. I first had a bite of this not knowing it was an octopus. My husband said the balls have crabs and shrimp filling inside – so I ate it! It was only later when he revealed it was an octopus! Lol! It was then my first time to eat an octopus and I love it! :)
