How was the spicy baby octopus with somaek?

The spicy stir-fried octopus came out first, and it was properly coated in a spicy sauce — perfect drinking food! The seasoning was spicy but also savory, so I kept reaching for more. It's tasty on its own, but paired with a soju-beer, spicy snacks and drinks really are a foolproof combo.

Free corn cheese from the review event

This visit, I also took part in a review event, which got me free corn cheese.

The corn cheese came out warm, sweet, and savory — great to eat between bites of the spicy octopus. The cheese added a smooth, nutty richness that went well alongside the spicy snack! And the portion was pretty generous!

A bite of the spicy octopus, then a spoonful of corn cheese, then a sip of soju-beer — the combination turned out better than I expected, and I really enjoyed it.
