sωєєт Tαkσyαkι Pαятy ♥

Yesterday, I invited my Japanese and Japan-lover friends for another Takoyaki round!  (wow, my last Party has been a long time ago…) The picture above isn’t just a “Takoyaki”  no no, it is made with pancake dough, filled with a piece of banana and topped with melted chocolate, coconut crocant and green tea powder.  In a nutshell: it is SWEET Where does this idea came from? I sent a photo of my last Takoyaki Party to my cousin in Japan and she told me that it is possible to make sweet dessert Takoyaki. That’s why I thought of organizing my second Party with lots of little fake Takoyaki.

For the sweet dessert Takoyaki I used:

(loads of) chocolate in different flavours
Cornflakes, cereals, ground hazelnuts or almonds
Banana, raisin
Honey, maple syrup
Pancake dough (made with milk, egg, flour, sugar, baking powder)
For the topping, chocolate & green tea powder, colourful sprinkles, coconut flakes, melted chocolate, vanilla cream etc…

There are many things you can put in and on your Takoyaki, whether dried or fresh, raw fruits, chocolate or sprinkles – you can be inventive and make your own creations. As far as I am concerned, I prefer chocolate on the Pancake-Takoyaki than inside Furthermore, chocolate can burn quite quickly so you’ll have to be careful that it doesn’t get hard and black!  You’ll have to experiment a little bit. A yummy experience for chocoholics (like me )

Thank you guys for coming! I hope everybody had as much fun (and enough to eat) as me *LOL* Till next time! ♥♥♥

Had a great evening yesterday!  After my first try to make Takoyaki in this year, I invited my dear friends for a Takoyaki-Dinner! We were 5 people (including ねこちゃん  & her BF) and everyone love Japanese cuisine and culture. It was a special and exciting experience to have a get-togehter with Japan-Lovers.  I hope they had as much fun as me!

I absolutely have to organize this kind of dinner again soon. I am already thinking about what I could arrange for the next time! 
What will be on the menu next time? Stay tuned!

this way, please ^^

took photo of our last Taiyaki (traditional Japanese snack that is made up of red-bean paste inside a fish-shaped crepe) before it disappeared in the tummy.

testing our veeeery old Takoyaki grill. (Takoyaki = flavored batter with a tiny piece of octopus (tako) inside. It is a typical street food snack of Osaka )

At the beginning, it looked quite nice… but it turns to this….

well, the first time is always like this, so don’t worry *hahaa*

See? The second try looks much nicer

Voila! Takoyaki no dekiagari ^^
Finished Takoyaki-chan.
