Delica is not the most budget friendly option at the Ferry Building, some things can be pricey. However, they do have one item I really like a lot, it's called a kakiage tempura. Yes, one of the overriding reasons I probably like it is because it's deep fried, but beside that, it's a mixture of edamame, burdock, carrots, onions and shrimp in a tempura batter. It's crunchy and tasty and because there is shrimp and vegetables I can at least humor myself it is somewhat healthy-ish. Plus I think it is somewhat a bargain. At $4 a pop it is densely packed with veggies and shrimp and is larger than the biggest cupcakes you can get around town--see, I'm trading in a sweet for this instead so it's good for me!. If I'm not real hungry but want something a little substantial without too much bread (cause there are plenty of bready things at Ferry Building), I gravitate toward this bundle of crunchiness. It hits the spot without too much guilt or strain on the wallet.
