Summary of unusual foods we want to serve at the school festival’s mock stalls (71–80)
Teppan-grilled pork bun
How about Taiwan’s signature fast food, the “teppan-grilled meat bun”? Is it like a grilled nikuman, similar to Japan’s oyaki? Or perhaps you could call it a dumpling with a thicker wrapper.
If you make the dough from scratch, you can get a more authentic result.
On the other hand, a simplified version—just grilling store-bought nikuman on a griddle—might also be pleasantly fragrant and perfectly fine.
Drinkable warabi mochi
If you’re thinking of Japanese-style sweets, don’t miss drinkable warabi mochi.
It’s the idea of serving warabi mochi as a beverage—think of it like a tapioca (bubble tea) drink, which might make it easier to picture.
This way, you can enjoy it standing up and one-handed.
The preparation is simple, too: the main steps are heating and stirring the warabi starch, then chilling it.
That makes it approachable even for people who don’t usually cook.
Another plus is that you can keep ingredient costs low.
mochi donut
How about mochi doughnuts with a chewy texture like Mister Donut’s Pon de Ring? With kirimochi (cut rice cakes), milk, eggs, and pancake mix, they’re easy to make.
If you shape them into small balls, they’re bite-sized, so visitors can pop them in their mouths and walk around the school festival.
Set out chocolate sauce and sprinkles so customers can top them as they like—highly recommended! Their cute, photo-worthy appearance is another big draw.

Cream Udon
Light snacks are fine, but since Japanese people love noodles to begin with, seeing the words “ramen” or “udon” just makes you want to eat them.
If you’re going to set up an udon stall, why not go for something a bit playful and festival-ish, and try a quirky udon shop? First, how about the “white curry udon” that’s often on TV these days? Many people have seen it but haven’t tried it yet, right? The white mousse is made with potatoes, fresh cream, and egg whites.
Udon carbonara also sounds delicious.
It’s basically just making carbonara with udon, but if you vary the thickness of the noodles, the texture of the udon might change in interesting ways!
Banana split
Easy and delicious! Here are some banana split ideas.
For a school festival project, it’s nice to have a menu that’s simple to make.
This time, let’s try making a cute, easy banana split.
A banana split is a traditional American dessert characterized by the use of ice cream and bananas.
Chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry are the classic ice cream flavors, and the charm lies in sandwiching them with a banana sliced lengthwise.
Be sure to give it a try!
letter churros
Make visitors want to share on social media! Here are some fun ideas for letter-shaped churros.
When you think of churros, you probably imagine long sticks or teardrop shapes.
Letter churros, as the name suggests, are designed by forming letters out of churro dough.
You can also make cute motifs like hearts and stars.
Adding vibrant colors to the churros will make them even more eye-catching.
Set up a system where visitors can order their favorite motifs or letters, and encourage them to share their creations!
Ice tongue flu
https://www.tiktok.com/@kitchen_kanakana/video/7381391861664976146Let’s steal the spotlight at your school festival with “ice tanghulu,” a hugely popular Korean sweet! Prepare your favorite fruits and skewer them so they’re easy to hold.
Put the skewers together in a bag or container and freeze them, then simply dip them in ice water to finish.
Hearing that, you might wonder: if there’s no flavoring, what makes it so popular? The trick is that dipping in ice water creates a thin icy glaze on the fruit.
That light, crackly texture is addictive.
If you use brightly colored fruits, they’ll look fantastic and be perfect for social media, too!
