Finally had time to play with my new Baller.....

In Japan there is a popular street food called Takoyaki (Octopus Dumpling Ball) I can't really say I love them.....cause I never had them. can't get passed the Octopus part....weird cause I love Calamari....

I always thought it would be great to do other meats besides Octopus in them.....I mean anything would taste great in a egg based batter....

So I've been eying this machine at Asian Markets for a while.....It was on sale over Xmas for like $39 I think....

I've watched Takoyaki being made in Tokyo many times.... It's quite a visual to see these guys making them....like a hundred at a times.....constantly rotating them at lightning speed.... I knew the basics so it went pretty well.

The first pic here are Shrimp Balls served on a bed of cabbage with a Mayo/Sriracha drizzle.
Each Shrimp Ball ended up being about .7oz. ea. after cooking.

This is actually the reason I want one of those BabyCake cake pop makers, I have heard some amazing savory recipes being done in it! That looks amazing! Perfect little servings!

Are those shrimp balls from the tenderest part of the shrimp?

Those are actually not baby baby shrimp...but the next size up....pre-cooked....forget what they call them....Bay Shrimp????

I do plan on using chopped up medium sized shrimp from the raw next time I pick some up...

Normally I shoot my general food shots with a Canon 5D or Canon 1DsMk3 and for real Advertising work I would use my Hassleblad/Leaf Aptus.

That pic was taken with a set-up I've been testing for use in restaurants to photo food I want to remember or send out.

It was taken with an iPhone 4s with a Custom LED Light that I made.
