日船章魚小丸子 新店七張店

The text describes a restaurant called "Nisshisen Takoyaki" located in the Xindian city area, with the nearest MRT station being Qizhang Station exit 1, about a 3-minute walk away. The shop is situated at a corner, and during non-business hours, the breakfast shop space is rented out to several stalls, with Nisshisen being one of them. Apart from the food cart, there are no other signs.

After choosing your flavor, you place your order with the owner and pay (cash only). Each flavor is priced the same: $55 for one portion and $150 for three portions. After ordering, there is a short wait for your freshly made takoyaki (there are many already prepared nearby, so they might just be reheating?). Finally, the owner adds mayonnaise, seasoning powder, and bonito flakes.

In the photo of the cut takoyaki, you can see that the squid is super small, about the size of a cubic centimeter. I ordered the nori flavor but didn’t particularly notice the nori; the filling was just the taste of flour with some cabbage shreds, and the flavor was average.

It has been about 5-6 years since I last ate takoyaki, and today I suddenly missed the taste of takoyaki (I had walked by it every day before but never thought to buy it). It was purely a nostalgic experience, but my child really liked it (he said not to add squid), but squid is probably the main point, right? 😅
