One of the best Japanese pica pica food for Cocktail Party offered by Catering Services is TAKOYAKI. It is famous for its yummy taste which is perfectly suited for party goers and fun loving people.
According to some studies, a street vendor named Tomekechi Endo is the one who invented this food way back in 1935. The takoyaki became popular in different parts of Japan, and takoyaki is usually found in a food stalls. The term “yaki” is derived from the word “yaku” which means “to fry or grill”. Frying or Grilling is one of the cooking methods in Japanese cuisine.
The ingredients for takoyaki are cake flour, ice water, eggs, dashi soup, salt, soy sauce and dashi stock granules. Takoyaki is a ball shaped Japanese snack that usually cooked in a special pan. The takoyaki pan is made of cast iron metal that has 20 spherical molds.
Takoyaki is a fried or grilled octopus that has a sauce that is similar to mayonnaise and Worcestershire. The sauce of takoyaki is made up of bonito flakes, pickled red ginger, mayonnaise and powdered aonori, but mayonnaise alone also can do. Other people prefer to use barbeque sauce or sweet chili sauce for takoyaki.
In Osaka Japan there are 500 shops of Takoyaki and each shop has their own version of it, and served different taste of Takoyaki. Here in the Philippines Takoyaki is usually found in supermarkets and food stalls. Takoyaki is already known in different countries and many branded stores across the world sells takoyaki. Unlike other Japanese food, takoyaki is not expensive and as far as I know for only twenty five pesos (here in the Philippines) you can buy takoyaki.
Takoyaki is now a standard dish in Osaka that mostly served in buffet hotels. Takoyaki is a simple Japanese food that became popular all over the world. The time that I tried to eat takoyaki, at that moment I understand why the dish became popular.
