When asked to join, I was perplexed what Okonomiyaki was. So I googled and found an explanation on Wikipedia:
Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savoury pancake containing a variety of ingredients. The name is derived from the word okonomi, meaning "what you like" or "what you want", and yaki meaning "grilled" or "cooked".
Due to my curiosity, I went to dinner with my friends, and was really happy to finally enjoy a portion of Okonomiyaki, or the waiter told me, Japanese pancake.
In the end of this first time experience, I can conclude that I quite liked Japanese pancake. Yet, it is not something I can (or would like to) have every month, if I still want to see the same number on my weight-scale.
The taste is very savoury - salty and heavy. As a truly Indonesian, I would add some spicy sauce (like Sambal ABC) to the pancake.
The place is too small, so you kinda need to squeeze in. yet the good thing is everyone has to reserve to be able to eat there (or if you are very lucky, you can just get in).
So, maybe I will go there next month or two to pay my second visit :)
