explored ION more thoroughly yesterday and had a really satisfying gastronomical experience there...

With the same believe, Itacho Sushi only uses seasonal fresh fish and first class ingredients, with which chefs will instantly prepare handmade fresh sushi when guests order. With so much to offer, Itacho Sushi, since opening its first outlet in Hong Kong till its current 24 outlets, has attracted long queues outside its doors everyday.
* we had roasted fatty salmon sushi, roasted wagyu beef sushi, fatty tuna with spring onion roll, cheese roll, salmon & salmon roe roll, unagi & steamed egg rice bowl & a softshell crab salad. very satisfying meal... and i think it tastes good... a bit pricey for the roasted sushi cos it's like S$5 to S$7 for 1 piece, but it's DELICIOUS... the meat really melts in your mouth.... and i get to indulge or OVER-INDULGE in wasabi with my rice here... gosh i'm turning into a eating-wasabi-with-plain-rice-is-my-skill Kim Jaejoong... but i don't really like the sensation when it floods my nose and makes me tear uncontrollably... but i like the taste of it with rice, sashimi, sushi, & mayonnaise though...

*I had COLD FIGHTER, with ginger... without ice (cos ice made with tap water gives me stomach cramps)... I was sneezing slightly in morning due to slight sinus, so I thought I should try this... plus... it reminds me of SOUL FIGHTER... Jaejoong + Changmin... ^_^ the ginger gives the drink a spicy kick... I think it's quite a nice blend... suits the name... gives your stomach a warm punch when you drink it...

In-regardless of languages or culture barrier, we just want to achieve our motto of seeing people satisfactory smile when they eat our delicious, piping hot Takoyaki.
In Tsukiji Gindaco, carefully selected ingredients are used to create” definely delicious” takoyaki, made in such a way that people can enjoy the crispy outsides and the soft, sticky insides underscored by pieces of mouth-watering octopus.
* unlike most takoyaki in Singapore, the exterior is crispy and the interior is FILLED with filling!!! to me i think the octopus takes 3rd place after the crispy crust (1st) and the delicious ingredient-laden batter mix (2nd).... and the balls are much BIGGER than the usual ones we see around Singapore... definitely addictive... now they only have one flavour here... so... please bring in more flavours お願いします！！！

Hokkaido EXPRESS

(+65) 65098640

* we tried the salmon spinach cream croquette and pumpkin shrimp croquette... both were tasty... but i think if they were hotter, cos they were cooked and left there for some time, they would have been even tastier... not that they weren't crispy... they were still crispy despite being left out in the open for some time... but somehow my mind is remembering the crab cream croquette i had in Tampines Mall during the Hokkaido fair a few years back... please bring in more flavours お願いします！！！

* bought Virginia ham (super big piece... but i had them shaved, so it's easier for salads & my tortilla wrap...)... and the not-so-popular, but healthier choice of oven-baked turkey breast ham... (price listed was different from price printed from machine, so do ask first if you don't wish to be cheated into paying more for your ham...).
got a packet of multi-grain tortilla wrap, not from here (cos here the price was S$14-S$16)... but at Takashimaya's Cold Storage supermarket(organic i think, cos it costs me S$14+ for a packet of 6 pieces, when the price stated on the racks showed S$8.60 at Takashimaya's Cold Storage supermarket)... I felt conned when the price showed S$14+ at the cashier... but I needed some form of bread for my lunch so I went ahead with the purchase... the only saving grace is that it's really low carb... but it'll be back to whole wheat pita bread or wholemeal tortilla wraps from Carrefour for me after this... i can get enough pita/ tortilla to last me 2 weeks with the price of that packet of 6 slices...

cotton on's sister shoeline rubi (also at ION) said that "heels are like chocolate without the kgs..."
i agree with it wholeheartedly...
i love my heels...
thank god i am not very tall so i can wear HIGH heels and most likely won't be taller than my better half (whom i hope will be 1.75m at least... ^_^)
but i do notice that the men here are not really that tall in general, cos when i am in 3" or higher heels, they seem to be quite close to my level... meaning they are probably around 1.7m in height... ~_~
if i had a choice, i'll be in heels most of the time...
but sometimes they make me suffer badly too...
blisters and sore feet...
and chocolate & desserts...
another necessary evil too...
they make us happy...
and yet frustrated too...
when we need to lose the calories we add on to our diet when we consume them!!!

Takoyaki Recipe
Tako means octopus in Japanese, and takoyaki are known as octopus balls. Takoyaki venders are very popular in Japan. To make takoyaki, a grill pan for takoyaki is used. The pan has many small cups to pour the batter.
Ingredients:
* 1 2/3 cup flour
* 2 1/2 cup dashi soup
* 2 eggs
* 1/2 lb. boiled octopus, cut into bite-size pieces
* 1/4 cup chopped green onion
* 1/4 cup dried sakura ebi (red shrimp)
* 1/4 cup chopped pickled red ginger
* *For toppings:
* katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes)
* aonori (green seaweed powder)
* Worcestershire sauce or takoyaki sauce or Bulldog Tonkatsu sauce
* mayonnaise
Preparation:
Mix flour, dashi soup, and eggs in a bowl to make batter. Thickness of the batter should be like potage soup. Put oil inside cups of a takoyaki grill pan. Pour batter into the cups to the full. Put octopus, red ginger, and green onion in each hole. Grill takoyaki balls, turning with a pick. When takoyaki become rounds and brown, remove them from the pan and place in a plate. Put sauce and mayonnaise on takoyaki and sprinkle bonito flakes and aonori on the top.
*makes 4 servings

Tsukiji Gindaco - BEST takoyaki so far...
Not for the faint hearted.
Tsukiji Gindaco
Gindaco Takoyaki has come a long way from Japan to Singapore. This chain has more than 300 stalls in Japan alone and dishes out takoyaki ball, yakisoba and macha drinks to its patrons. Be prepared to wait, as there is always a indefinite queue is endless.
No one's cooking?
Staff busy making the batter.
Look at the heaps of tako at the right.
Never is there a second to lose.
Step 1: Batter is poured over the cast-iron grill
Step 2: The takoyaki are slowly flipped and kneed into ball shapes
Step 3: Takoyaki are fried till outer crust is golden brown.
Busy. Busy. Busy.
Gindaco Takoyaki Cooking 101
1. Dissolve flour and eggs in water or a broth-based soup until the mixture achieves a saucy consistency, apply heat to a special griddle using a dedicated cooking stove, and fill this griddle to the brim with the prepared batter.
2. Place bite-sized pieces of diced octopus in the center of each ball together with red pickled ginger, tenkasu, dried shrimp, and green onions and wait for the underside surface to form a thin membranous layer as the ball continues to cook before taking a specially designed skewer to flip the balls over.
3. Repeat this process several times to form a spherical shape. After the balls have been grilled a lovely golden brown color, such that they emit a pleasant aroma.
4. Pour some sauce on top and complete your masterpiece by adding mayonnaise and topping with shaved dried bonito and aonori seasoning according to your taste

Perfect Takoyaki
Lots of ingredients within.
Each ball is beautifully coated with okonomiyaki sauce & sprinkled with Katsuobushi flakes.
Once you had one, you just cannot stop.
I think by now you would be salivating in from of your monitor, so I will cut to the chase. Gindaco Takoyaki is good, damn good, the best. There is only one flavour for Singaporean to choose, unlike the many choices in Japan.
The takoyaki is crispy and fried till golden brown. I couldn't bear to even eat one, even after photographing it for a long time. Upon biting it, the balls burst of flavours of the tako, leeks and pickled ginger. The aroma immediately brush pass your nose with a savory and refreshing tingle. The interior is still slightly moist with the batter and a good portion of tako, which is fresh and chewy. The okonomiyaki sauce is just right, not overpowering and bonito flakes were slightly enough.
Japanese Maccha
The Japanese Maccha is really very thick. One small sip is all you need to get the smack on the face with the green tea rush. Good way to detoxify all those oily grease from the takoyaki. However, their Japanese Maccha is pure green tea maccha with not even a hint of sugar. Thus those who can't bear to drink tea without any sugar, may want to try another drink like their Maccha Float (Maccha with soft serve).
All gone...
In case you are wondering why the boat container. Every thing has a purpose. The boat containers are made of Russian white pines which absorbs excess oil to prevent soggy takoyaki balls. There are even holes round the container to prevent condensation to cause mushy balls.
I must say that Gindaco really hits the bell. Its by far the best and most authentic version of the takoyaki I've tried thus far. No need for any other flavor and marketing gimmick. If you are good at one thing, be very good at that and word will travel. I will definitely welcome Gindaco empire with open arms.Never eat Takopachi again with big boss (Gindaco) around town.
