Made and ate okonomiyaki for the first time. I took bits and pieces from recipes from Adam Liaw, Chef's Labo, and Just One Cookbook.

Oh god yeah. Okonomiyaki is one of my favourite dishes of all time!

Hands down my favorite dish! I used to go to this mom and pop shop in Tokyo that made Hiroshima style okonomiyaki that was phenomenal

We love to make this for brunch. We top it with bacon and make the sauce from scratch (it's very easy). The only thing you specifically need to buy is the okonomiyaki flour and bonito flakes, the rest you can do with common ingredients. And don't forget to use japanese mayo, not regular mayo.

The result looks impressive for a first time! I find it hard to get the right balance of tastes.

I think my favourite one is in a little restaurant in Gion, Kyōto, where it is prepared in front of me on the teppan (鉄板) by the chef before being enjoyed piece by piece. You really eat it with all your senses, I love it.

It looks like an omelette with mayo and onion peel. That's said, I'd still eat it.

Dude, there's no explanation to why it tastes so good, it's unique and fantastic. The "onion skin" is bonito flakes and smell like fish food because it is, but together with all of the other ingredients is amazing.

More eggy seafood* pancake, but it's amazing.

*Seafood is one filling option, but also the best option

If seafood is an option, it instantly becomes the only decision.
