Hot & Crispy

THE TAIYAKI (83 Matheson Street, Causeway Bay)

A couple years ago this pheonomenon took over the "Gindaco" takoyaki joint right next to Times Square that I so adored. But I'm ok with that, this is pretty damn good too. Wouldn't quite call this a "sandwich" as the sign says, but it sure is "hot and crispy". Not actually made from fish, these are just fish-shaped waffles with a variety of fillings. The fun component (other than the AWESOME SHAPE!) is that each combination hails from a different nation. Such as (my fav) the "Italian" - cheese, onion, tomato sauce, sausage and tuna; the "German" - sausage, potato, onion and bacon; the "French" - cinnamon, apple and custard; the classic "Japanese" - red bean paste. One of these babies only costs $15 (approx $1.90USD). Clearly, they need to open a nyc branch.
