As Day 1 in Seoul comes to a close, we had to end things off with a bang! So we decided, when in South Korea, do as the Koreans do! That means eating a live octopus!
I must say, the sound of "Live Octopus" doesn't really sound that appetizing to me, thats why I was determined to only watch my friends eat this unique delicacy. But since we already traveled this long, might as well try a very small piece.
Look at the size of that!
For our courage to undergo such an...ordeal? (well not really haha)
Ajuma was kind enough to give us some clams on the house.
This were actually very good, and just like her other dishes, very fresh!
If a picture is worth a thousand words, Im pretty sure a video is worth a whole lot more!
*Please forgive the poor angle, if you listen closely it would be explained why.
I must say that this delicacy actually tasted A-Okay! It had the texture of squid and wasn't slimy at all. In my opinion, one must immediately bite into the octopus tentacle after placing it inside your mouth, just so that you wouldn't feel any of the suction anymore haha!
