My Review:

Live octopus

My Review:

(3/5)

It came out all wriggly, which was the most interesting part. The taste itself was really chewing, and eating it was hard because it kept getting stuck on the plate. 2 Starts for the taste, 1 star of the experience.

My Review:

(Samgyetang)

Ginseng chicken soup

My Review:

This was okay. It is classified as a health dish so it had some Interesting ingredients (raw ginger root, jujube and walnuts), which maybe leaned to much into it's presumtive healing abbilities.

This was actually ๋ผˆํ•ด์žฅ๊ตญ๋ฐฅ, but it is close enough. It tastesd pretty good. Steamy, spicy and filled with umami. The worst part was trying to get the meat of the bones.

This is just an excuse to eat a pork cutlet, but I'll take it! The soft white bread, without crust, is mostly there to make you feel better. I could have done with some sliced cabbage as well, for a crunch.
