Taiyaki -- traditional and east-west fusion.

 Coral likes gold fish!! Traditional taiyaki is a sweet waffle cake with a sweet bean paste filling. Other fillings include sweet potato and savory sausage.
 the taiyaki mold is essentially a waffle iron, in the shape of a little perch. Taiyaki means "sea bream" in Japanese.











                                                                                                                                                                 experimenting with Vietnamese style "sizzling seafood pancake" recipes, I decided to try taiyaki filled with bits of squid, shrimp, and scallop. and a dipping sauce with Thai fish sauce, soy, rice vinegar, and sambal ooleck chili paste. Result was excellent.
