[...] Niamh at Eat Like A Girl has been recounting her foodie highs and lows of 2008: “Apologies to anyone from Japan, but I don’t think I will ever quite recover from eating an octopus ball in Tokyo, it looked so delicious but just wasn’t to my taste and gave me quite a shock! I was expecting something quite crispy but contained within was a slimy octopus in what felt like raw egg.” Read about some of her happier moments here. [...]

Sadly I don’t know of any place in London that does good takoyaki! I’ve only ever seen it done in the Brick Lane Sunday Upmarket, which look alright but I haven’t tried it. I don’t think they look crisp enough on the outside, though. Might give it a try later!

Hi there! Ah, maybe I should give it another try then. I hope to get to Japan again in the near-ish future. Perhaps I could look it up in London. Anywhere you would recommend?

Happy New Year to you too! I have had alot going on in my personal life which has interfered with the blog, but a vague new years resolution involves blogging more often :-)

happy new year! sad to hear about your takoyaki experience… a severely cooked one from what it sounds! the best sort are crisp on the outside and soft (but not runny… though i think it varies from region to region, like okonomiyaki) and the octopus fresh and ‘al dente’ (can’t think of a better word).

anyways looking forward to more posts.. it’s been rather quiet on your front!
