I got it as soon as it came out. Exterior was still crispy and so still pretty good
But custard was hardly enough to balance out the batter
However despite the terrible Google reviews the queue still remains haha
did reviews on the custard obanyaki and the azuki red bean taiyaki so feel free to scroll below/check it out! this is the menu, feels more limited than before :,) still yummy and worth eating tho!
this is the custard obanyaki ($1.8)! filling is generous and rich, tastes like … custard lol nothing overly unique (which is a good thing, we don’t want custard tasting funny) tasted kinda like chateraise’s double fantasy custard puff. definitely a cop
haven’t had taiyaki in a looonnnggg time! it is better than i remembered it omg the flour is reminiscent of japanese pancake batter (well makes sense) and the azuki red bean is sweet and yummy (as a person who doesn’t really like local red bean). this costs $2, so worth the money as the filling is pretty packed in 🥞 a little sad that there are fewer options in the menu though (i think only cheese, chocolate, azuki red bean for the taiyaki. more options for obanyaki like matcha red bean mochi etc!)
Good as ever when it's hot. The cream cheese inside could have been more generous though.
If you're a foodie I advise you to just take wtv they literally just finished cooking because the texture is best. The fillings don't rlly matter as compared to the payoff from a crispier exterior(unless it's some weird new flavour then that's a gamble). But I firmly believe that texture is king for something like this, don't be a normie who only goes for the last remaining matcha one or sth when it's cold and soggy because "I must have matcha"
Kaya peanut obanyaki @ $1.90
Got the obanyaki (pancake) instead of the taiyaki (fish) cuz there's this flavour. Love the combination of sweet and savoury.
