Food Place: Gaja

It's out first time to try an Okonomiyaki, it's a Japanese version of pancakes. My JA friends recommended Gaja at Gardena, CA. You can find them on Yelp too.

We learned that the batter is from yam instead of flour and mixed with veggies and whatever combination you want. Seafood, cheese, meat, etc. They have a HUGE menu so I will go back again and again to try them all! It's that good. But anyway, you cook the okonomiyaki  on a tepanyaki grill, use flat spatulas to flip them over, then put mayo, sauce, seaweed, etc. on top.

We got Spam and Cheese Okonomiyaki and it's sooo good:

We also love Takoyaki, so we got some too. It has octopus inside and rolled into a ball batter of, I'm guessing yam batter again, instead of flour. JA people are very healthy no? We tried the original flavor before and we want to be creative so we went for different flavors this time. Both of them are soooo good!

We loved the place and will go back to try everything on the menu! LOL. The staff were so nice and helpful, they taught us how to cook the Okonomiyakis. :)
