Takopachi in Kuching!!

YUMMY TAKOPACHI!!

I found Takopachi in Kuching!! No more longings to go to either Singapore or KL for takopachi anymore! I stumbled upon it accidentally really, it was one of the spur of the moment decisions to go to Jalan Song for dinner and I was already planning on having the mee mamak when Starcat and I found the stall!

The stall claims to be the first takopachi stall in Kuching (which is right!) but they call it takoyaki or something else like that. Anyways, for those who do not know what takopachi is, it's a round dough ball stuffed with either octopus, ham and cheese or any other stuffings that the stall offers. The balls are then toasted (I don't know what else to call this cooking method) in an iron pan and turned around constantly so that the ball is nicely browned and crisp. They then top it with some flaky brown thing and a little sauce before serving it to you piping hot.

The takopachi stall here serves two types of stuffing, octopus as well as ham and cheese. We ordered a mix and was rather pleased that it came really fast. Their version is more like the Singapore version, more dry, as compared the the ones I've eaten in KL which are completely sloshed in gravy. I prefer the dry ones, not as messy to eat!

Word of advice, order the ham and cheese takopachi. I found the octopus one too doughy, as the octopus piece was rather tiny. The ham and cheese one had more of a taste to it too, and was delightfully cheesy! As we ordered a mix, it was more of a guessing game to see who got what stuffing, and sadly, I got more octopus than ham and cheese.. Oh well..

The stall is near the satay stall at the other end of Jalan Song (not the one near Pizza Hut) and I think that an order of Takopachi is about RM4-RM4.50. We ordered a lot of food that night, can't really remember how much was what. But I will go and check again another day when I have my takopachi cravings!
