I finally made it to New York. While in the Big Apple, food was the first thing on my mind. Here was my chance to eat all the exotic foods I could imagine whether from different cultures or just plain ole American food with a twist.
I went exotic. It was a chic place in the sense of its space. The restaurant had a shotgun style set up with tables that were close enough to eat from the party of six on the right of you. I saw it all on the menu. There were chicken nuts, chicken hearts and a plethora of sushi. Finally, I get to try something new.
Then there it was. The balls are covered with a wheat flour-base with stuffed octopus. Yes, octopus. Of course, I ordered it. They came in four with a special takoyaki sauce. The sauce tasted like the Spicy Yum Yum sauce you can get from Wal-mart but fresher. The balls were what I expected it to taste like, calamari. But it still had a stronger sea-like taste. Unlike the calamari, it has more filling. It could also be noted that calamari is usually fried in little strips, so they could make up for the amount of substance inside of the battered coating.
It was like a chop of cartilage in the center. The cartilage blended well with the gooey texture the ball had on the outside.
Gooey shellfish would be distasteful. Cancel reply. Your email address will not be published. Gwendolyn Ducre. I glanced at the menu and looked for prices. Eating in Manhattan is a struggle within itself. Though it was tempting. It gives the octopus zest while still being able to keep its true taste. Courtesy of justonecookbook.
