There was a regional pastry shop I had years ago that allowed me to originally taste Taiyaki...dear god I was in heaven.. Who would've thought that bread with a sweet bean paste would taste so good ^_^
Sadly the place was arsoned and burned down and they never reopened. |

MA? Massachusetts? That's in the east coast, lol. In some southern states, like Texas, Asians are flourishing. Here we have a China town, Vietnamese town, even a little section for Koreans. I dunno about pastry fish though. I've been to a lot of Japanese restaurants but I only eat Sushi and Ramen. I dunno if they're selling it in the Asian market since I only go to China town to buy rare spices. But you know, it's an intriguing dish and I'll sure be looking for it now.
I'll tell you how good it tastes so it'll leave you salivating more without the satisfaction of ever eating it, hehe. |

Hmmmmmmmm red bean ice drink, I've only had it once, awsome stuff, the local chinese food resturants here don't serve very good stuff, it's more 'Canadianlized' to suit the tastes of the 'white' people I guess...I'd have to travel to Calgary, Vancouver or Toronto to get all the real good stuff The closest thing we have to that drink + icecream is the red-bean icecream bars *drooooolllll* damnit it's 11pm nothing is open and you got me craving.......grrrrrrrrrr....... |

If you have any chinese pastry places, you might beable to pick up red bean or mung bean paste cakes. Not quite the same as Taiyaki...but I can assure you it's just as good. Although they're best fresh, unless if you have a bakery in your area that makes it, or family/friends who do make it, you'll have to settle for the massproduced kinds... I should REALLY stop reading this thread, I was out shopping today, and didn't buy any pastries or snacks |

After searching endlessly around town, I coudn't find any damn Japanese restaurants that sell taiyaki. I'm now convinced that it doesn't exists in the US. I think I'll try looking for that octopus ball thingy now instead. Ehm, what do you call it? Tokiyaki?

I loved Pocky while growing up. I approve this thread. Highest-rated comment: So, if I eat Pocky, I attract hot Asian women? (Yes, you can.) [They are: Kou Shibasaki, Satomi Ishihara, Yukie Nakama and Aya Matsuura] Yes, that's right: Pocky will save you from zombies! Be sure it's part of your SOP survival kit. I very much prefer the brand's older, more nostalgic tagline: OK Pocky. It's much catchier than today's "Anata mo, watashi mo, Pocky". The right way to eat Pocky, sans creepy, voyeur fisherman.
