Food:

There has always been a perpetual long queue at Gindaco Takoyaki. However I decided to give it a try as you know Singaporeans follow up the crowds whereby there are queues. When I see the menu, at first i found the price is abit steep compared to other stall selling Japanese ball. The stall at bugis is selling 3 for $2.20. But I still order it due to the long queue. There are 3 flavors. Original, Leek and Eggs. I ordered 8pcs and one cup of sprite at the the price of $7.40. Despite the long queue but the waiting time in only 5 mins. There are 3 chefs rolling large amount of balls due to big crowd. Lets talk about the taste now. The surface of the skin is darker compared to the normal stalls. When I bite it, it is terribly hot. So be careful when you bite it. The outer starchy crust had a mild burnt taste. The outer layer and inner fillings seem rather detached from each other. Tasted heavenly!!! Furthermore, they are topped with dressings and bonito flakes on a special leaf boat. Definitely worth the price and waiting time. Five words to describe them "CRISPY" "outside" "and" "JUICY" "inside".
