I branched out and tried some minced pork wrapped foods and dips. I did refrain from trying the fried balls that looked so ever good until you realize there is octopus inside. While I am trying new things here, I am not quite ready for octopus yet.
The very last booth was making pancakes in the shape of a fish with different fillings. One was a vanilla custard, one was chocolate and the last one was bean paste (a very common filling inside desserts and breads).
I decided to be a nice mom and get Sami & Chris one as a special treat. They really liked them and can't wait to have "fish pancakes" again.

How cool are fish pancakes?????????????haha
Looks like you all are settling in very well...praying for you!
How cute!
How neat is that!
Yeah I am not sure that octopus would be my thing either...lol...good luck with that :)
Alexis..I am not a 'weird food eater" by trade. I love mac n cheese, mashed pots, peas, chicken...you know just the usual all American foods. I have tried cooking the 'fancy' stuff I see on Hell's Kitchen and Food TV channels....just don't get into fancy stuff...
....But I have tried fried baby octopus and it is good! Very good! You just have to get past the little baby finger tenicles!
The pancakes sound really good and I bet the kids loved their surprise. I remember living in southern Texas near Corpus Christi...I was pregnant and had always loved Creamed Horns. So I go into a bakery in this small town that was largely Mexican...to get a creamed horn...NOT! It looked like a creamed horn but the filling was nothing like the soft, white, sugary cream filling I was use to...yuck!
So glad you are exploring!
Joy for your tomorrow! DeeDee
I think it was the Foundation Day holiday. I have to say, I love Takoyaki (the octopus balls) and the Taiyaki (the fish pancakes) are very yummy too!
yum - fish pancakes!
I have a video up at my place, come and check it out. Again I was reminded what a great experience you and Matt are giving your kids over in Japan.
