Dessert Sounds Best at Maru Global Takoyaki


Adam Erace chows down on the takoyaki balls at Maru Global Takoyaki and finds the sauces to be overbearing but he finds bliss in the sweet ‘yaki.

Studded with chocolate chips and rolled in dark cocoa powder like truffles, the balls rest against a bank of fresh whipped cream so magically thick I suspect it’s made with unicorn tears. In fact, it’s just good cream, real vanilla bean, some sugar and a conditioned forearm to whip it into shape. At $4, these choco takos deliver serious satisfaction for the cost of what’s hiding under your couch cushions. You might even call them extraordinary.
