Amongst the different types of Japanese food, restaurants specializing in okonomiyaki may not be as common, but that’s not to say it doesn’t have its fair share of fans! Commonly referred to as a Japanese pancake, ‘okonomi’ means ‘as you like’ and ‘yaki’ means grilled. So, have your grill however you like at these okonomiyaki spots in Singapore. Some of these places even allow you to cook your okonomiyaki yourself!
