Premium Mix Moonlight Egg Okonomiyaki

A main dish made of shredded veggies would seem to be a bit off isn’t it? But Okonomiyaki will make you change that disposition specially for this version by Botejyu. I mean, who doesn’t want a mix of beef, pork, shrimp, and even squid in just one dish, mixed together with love and tenderized with a special sauce at that? The result is a great dining experience. Don’t underestimate this enormous looking dish, as it may be made from veggies, it is truly a treat and a filling one so make sure to make room for your tummy for this bad looking but definitely delicious dish.
