t always excites me to find a new restaurant offering Takoyaki Balls in the Metro.
I remember when the only place I could have a dose of takoyaki balls was in SM supermarkets. A small food stall called Samurai originally offers the takoyaki balls that many people are raving about these days.
It is basically a batter of flour mixture with vegetables, green onions and squid bits. The secret lies on the sauce and "magic powder" which I always request the staff to put some additional dash.
And now, Takoyaki stands are everywhere. From Lrt and Mrt stations, to food kiosk in malls.
But nothing compares to the original Takoyaki Balls of Samurai...

We went to visit their Tomas Morato branch which was a bigger branch compared to Banawe.
Their menu consisted mainly of the usual Japanese Favorites such as tempura, sushi, donburi, and ramen.
But their specialty is their Takoyaki Balls and Okonomiyaki- A japanese pancake with different toppings.

we ordered for the Octopus Takoyaki (P120).
it was different from the Samurai Takoyaki that I used to eat but they tasted better and authentic. The balls were delicately soft and flavorful. They had a different kind of "magic powder" which was extremely powerful. The bonito flakes atop the takoyaki balls added some double action. Yum!
Last, we ordered for their best seller- The sizzling pizza called Okonomiyaki.
We got their Chicken Okonomiyaki (P290)- chicken teriyaki, mozzarella, chili sauce, peanut mayo, crispy tofu skin and sesame seeds.
