GINDACO IN JAPAN – INTERESTING FLAVOURS WHICH I SO WANT IT IN SINGAPORE

Hi there

Many people like Takoyaki, even in Singapore, it is such a popular snacks, and one of the best takoyaki in singapore, I would say is Gindaco at Ion or Raffles City. 🙂

But their flavours is quite limited, so if I go to Japan, I will also try out the current seasonal edition. 🙂

This time round since it is in summer, so I get to try out the plum with raddish, which is Ume Daikon Oroshi. Dip these freshly cooked takoyaki balls into the syrupy plum sauce with some fresh grated radish, this is what I called summer. Other flavours include cheese mentai which is cheesy spicy fish roe flavour, some with just dashi and spring onions overload. The combination is endless..

And guess what flavour I found now? Mala spicy peppercorn flavours! Wow!

Hi there

Most people know about the Ippudo ramen at Mandarin Gallery, but do you know they also sell their Ippudo Hot Sauce at Meidiya? I chanced upon them when I was doing my grocery there, and immediately snap it up, because it says Ippudo Hot Moyashi Sauce. Which is to say Ippudo Hot Sauce for Bean Sprout.

Ippudo Hot Sauce

Since it says bean sprout, so I decided to make a salad out of it, I used below ingredients :

  • Chives x 1/4 bunch
  • Shabu Shabu Pork x 1 pack
