"Fresh" Octopus at Sik Gaek

Anyong ‘Nauts!
The holidays are behind us, the new year is upon us, and we have our founder’s Big Event to celebrate (ask him later). 
 
Let us just quote the Google translation of the restaurant’s website: “The mother of forever unchanging love and 162 previously extended horizontally Koreans who show you love is always going to look evolved can show us the biggest parasite of the family under heaven is the joy and rewarding.” 
 
Yes, It’s feel so good time!… Speaking of which, is there a Korean Barry White?
 
Anyway, we digress. For awhile now, we’ve been meaning to make a journey out to Woodside, to the enchanted world of Sik Geak, where they promise “the taste is a real work of magic, like the pumpkin carriage of Cinderella.” This is the land where baby octopi dance … and then you eat them. And if you haven’t heard of the famous hotpot here, it’s an equal opportunity seafood genocide, a place where the ocean’s great bounty — shells and fish and abalone and live lobster and cockles and clams — all ends up in a broth to end all broths. After which, when we’re all done picking, they’ll pour in rice and cheese and oil and fry us up a feel so good time.
 
So, kick off the new year with us — we’ve missed you. And as they say: throw away your exhaustion, worries,and stress with a shot of soju. Or seven. It’s for good luck and a healthy year, people. Just do as they say and no one will get hurt…
