Okonomiyake - oishii!

In Hiroshima, the local speciality is Okonomiyake and I was told that I should absolutely try it here. We had already gotten addicted to this dish in Fukuoka. Unlike Sushi, Sashimi, Ramen or Tofu it is quite unknown in Europe, but very popular here.
Okonomiyake is resembling an omelette and consists of flour, cabbage flakes, egg and other ingredients like cheese, beef or seafood. The dish is topped with a sweetish soy dressing and fish flakes. The Hiroshima version also contains noodles.
Usually Okonomiyake is prepared on a hot plate right in front of you. Each table features such a cooking plate in the middle and you eat right off it when the dish is ready. Super delicious! Oishiiiiiii!
