Takoyaki (grilled octopus ball) mould
Seated behind the teppan (iron hot pan stove) and waiting to savour pipping hot food straight from the pan to the plate.
This okonomiyaki is the "noodle" version. First they fried the soba, add meat and scallions.
This restaurant is apparently quite famous around Osaka. It's a chain with many Chibo (thousand) around town and here in this three level building.
The chef is waiting for the streaky pork (similar to bacon) and prawn to sizzle.
There are two sides to a pancake. Adding cabbage to one of the cooked pancake.
A slight distraction, looking around, and saw the aquarium along the side wall.
Abalone suction on the glass of the tank makes quite an interesting feast for the eyes.
Now the pancake looks well cooked and crispy.
Adding the finishing touches: generous spread of okonomiyaki fruit sauce, skilful drizzle of Japanese mayonnaise and tuna flakes.
The next dish was an omelette. Same sauces but topped with scallions instead of bonito.
Another okonomiyaki in the making. This one has root vegetables inside. Tastes soft and fluffy.
Bon Appetite!
Oh oh! We're quite full by now. But we had unwittingly over ordered, as usual, when we were hungry and tired initially. Now comes the fried noodles. Glad that it's the final dish for the dinner tonight.
Menu from another restaurant
Window shopping for what to eat tomorrow. Seriously, I kid you not!
This must be the most famous Okonomiyaki in town. Too bad we have just had the second best already. Anyway, the queue is long, snaking around a few shops. Another time.
