Dig Into Taki Taki's Comforting Japanese Fare

Taki Taki in Lower Parel can go from date night to party central with ease, all depending the day you're showing up on. The monsoon-special fare includes ramen bowls and cheung fun in abundance. Choose from options like Crispy Celery Chicken, Crispy Exotic Vegetables among others. For us, the Crispy Prawns and Chive Cheung Fun was deliciously crispy topped with the tantalisingly flavoured sauce; an ideal choice for rainy nights. It wouldn't be complete without ramen, now would it? Along with vegetarian options, the Chicken Shio Ramen is succulent with eggs and chicken but it's the Pork Char Sui Goma Ramen that stood out with its rich pork belly chunks and shimmering broth.
