Based on my own personal observation, the fried taco and the takoyaki are some of the best sellers these days. I've seen their stalls with a lot of people lining up every time I'm at the malls (Victoria Plaza, Gaisano Mall and SM City Davao).
The fried taco by Taco Boy is soft taco wrapped differently (similar to fried lumpia) and then fried. It is actually very similar to the Mexican food called chimichanga. It is made with ground beef, cabbage and cheese and is best eaten with the spicy sauce. One fried taco costs only PhP17.00.
Takoyaki, on the other hand, is a popular Japanese snack made of bite-size balls made with flour-based batter containing cabbage strips. Supposedly, it should also have minced or diced octopus and tempura scraps. It also has a special sauce mixed with a little of mayonnaise. One serving of takoyaki normally has four pieces and costs Php20.00 at Victoria Plaza.
My son loves to eat these two snacks. Out of curiosity, I tried them too and surprisingly, loved their taste. Since then, I've become a fan of fried taco and the takoyaki like the many Davaoenos, young and old who continue to line up at their food stalls at the malls.
Try them yourself and find out if they suit your taste buds. :)
