Octopus Tubu Jigae

THB3990.00
Tender octopus wrapped in crispy tofu sleeve with traditional Korean spices.
Tip: This arrives midway through the course and signals the shift to heavier preparations. Eat it immediately while the tofu retains its crispy texture.

THB520.00
Paper-thin slices of slow-cooked octopus with lemon vinaigrette, capsicum, and cilantro.
