Had this sudden urge for takoyaki and stumbled upon Japan Boat Takoyaki at IOI City Mall Putrajaya. Meh, who am I kidding. I love takoyaki.

After queuing for a while, we got 3 sets of takoyaki for RM12. Each box has 3 takoyaki in it. The packaging is so familiar but I can't remember where exactly I had this before. 

Uh, I was just snapping away with my phone while walking. Oops. No filters.

In case you don't know, takoyaki is some sort of octopus ball served with Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise and dried bonito flakes. 

(Captain Obvious here) It originated from Japan.



After the first bite, I was in love with the takoyaki. It is superb compared to the other takoyaki stalls I frequently go to.

The takoyaki at Japan Boat Takoyaki is grilled to perfection and crispy to the bite. They did not cover the takoyaki with too much black pepper either, which is a plus. It is simply delicious!

Some of the other takoyaki stalls I've visited don't have black pepper and sometimes they attempt to flour up the whole takoyaki. Of course, that doesn't taste good. Ugh.

All in all, Japan Boat Takoyaki is highly recommended! :D

Unfortunately, they only serve takoyaki as it is their specialty, and a few drinks. There's not much variety like unagi or prawn but I guess most people wouldn't mind it as long as their takoyaki is awesome.

It happens that we were walking pass the Milkcow stall near the concourse area and there weren't that many people queuing up for the Korean soft serve ice cream.

I've heard a number of negative reviews of Milkcow from my friends who decided to queue for who knows how long at the Mid Valley branch. They said that it was not worth the queue. Yeah, maybe, if you have to queue, that is. 

Milky Pop for me whilst my bro had the Macao Dream. Prices range from RM8.50 for a plain soft serve Milkcow ice-cream to RM13.50 for a few exquisite ones.

I picked the Milky Pop because it looks nice (who doesn't like nice stuff?) and it turned out to be caramel syrup and caramel popcorn on ice-cream. Welp, diabetic to the max. However, I have to say that I enjoyed it. It is sweet but it goes well with the vanilla ice-cream. I have to say that this is my first time having popcorn with ice-cream though.



Above is the Macao Dream flavoured ice-cream. You get to choose a macaron of your choice. Somehow my bro chose salted popcorn, which certainly does not go well with almond. I guess he just picked Macao Dream because of the macaron as I know he is not a fan of almond.



About RM20 spent on two cups of Milkcow ice-cream. It was worth a try but I don't fancy paying RM12 for ice-cream often. I may visit again once or twice in the future but that's it, unless someone buys me free ice-cream (again, who doesn't like free stuff?).
Until then, I shall stick to cheaper ice-cream like McD sundae cones which costs about RM1 each..
