Thoughts: Dec 12, 2016 is the last time I had Original Takoyaki but at Gindaco Pavilion. There is now a Gindaco at Avenue K. It is also offering $1 per ball on Thursdays (12am - 4pm) min of 8 balls. I have noticed the tool for the Takoyaki production is now semi automated where pouring in the batter is manual but rotating it now is by the machine; you can see there is a higher consistency in the shape of each takoyaki ball compared to manual rotating the balls. 
The turnaround time for each batch is 8 minutes! Somehow, those made fully by hand (including rotating them) at Pavilion are better cooked in the inside. Both the Gindaco locations offer the same prices for 6 pcs. 
Gindaco at Avenue K is located at the Food Junction food court. 福将坊 Food Junction is a network of food courts managed by Food Junction Holdings in Singapore. Food Junction has food court operations at 4 locations in Malaysia: IOI mall, Avenue K, Mid Valley City Mall, and Quill City Mall.

Review: 5 / 10 😐😐
Highlights: Mixed Halal & Non-Halal vendors, Paid Parking
Thoughts: Advertised as famous 柔佛东甲 Tangkak Beef noodle but the beef noodle is cooked and served by an all foreign workers team at $21.50 per bowl! No doubt the broth must have been the secret recipe prepared by the Tangkak boss who is running around managing all of his/her proud branches everywhere in KL or elsewhere. 
For that price, I expect more than a wow of what seems I could have had similar taste elsewhere at below $10. So, Tangkak Beef noodle is just so so only! If it was at maybe $12 or $13 (considering the location), I would have still only given it a 6 / 10.
