Best Takoyaki in Johor Bahru (JB)

The alluring sight of Takoyaki balls twisting in their respective molds can surely turn one’s head. Especially when it’s coated by a layer of golden brown, charred exterior, and as the mind wonders about the fluffy and creamy texture on the inside, filled with chopped cabbage, onions, and primarily- diced octopus. That savoury goodness. 

Sprinkled with seaweed and bonito flakes, drizzled with sweet sauce and mayonnaise; there’s no turning back once you catch a glimpse of this kiosk. They whip up some scrumptious Takoyaki balls that comes in choices of Cheese & Chicken Ham, Shrimp, and the original Octopus. The best part is when you get to choose the size of your octopus, whether to give it more filling, or have it a little bit fluffy. 

Probably the first of its kind, TakoBoy is a Takoyaki ordering service, where they work on a delivery or collection service. Nevertheless, they do appear in pop up kiosks around JB once in a while too. What makes them so great is the luscious amount of crunchy and savoury filling stuffed into the balls. With sweet marinated octopus, unagi, and even crab; combined with chopped cabbage and onions, resistance is absolutely futile. 

Has anyone seen an Abalone Takoyaki? Well, you’re about to, right here at Tako Tao. Apart from the usual Octopus, Chicken & Cheese, and Prawns menu, you’re in for a special seafood treat a well. The sequence of biting through a charredTakoyaki into the fluffy flour on the inside is now given a little twist, with some sweet and chewy Abalone.
