Pulpo con Alioli

2.0

at Spain Club

(Lotte World Mall)

-Jamsil, Songpa, Seoul, Republic of Korea-

solo

Looking for a light snack, I ordered “Pulpo con Alioli.”   Described on the menu (in Korean) as “chewy octopus and mashed potatoes mixed with alioli sauce,” I was assuming that it’d be something along the lines of Pulpo a la Gallega (see for example 14.147 Cebiche de Privera).

It turned out to be a chunky potato salad with a few bits of octopus.

I looked back at the menu and then noticed the photo, which does show the dish as served, so I couldn’t really complain.

But really, what a pile of bullshit.
