I was so excited when I found the place in Solaris Dutamas. It is a single shop lot in the middle of a lane filled with many many cars. Expect to double park unless you are willing to walk all the way from a different building.
So, on to presentation, it was a simple dish with just a few leaves of lettuce for garnishing. I personally was expecting the live octopus to be trying to crawl out of the plate but I was kind of let down. We had to squirt some soy sauce on it for it to start moving but, it was to be honest very exciting. The dish itself was quite simple. Just soy sauce, sesame oil and sesame seeds. Simple but as it was still alive, it was good and fresh... Hahahaha how much more fresh can it get.
Taste wise, the octopus was quite salty. Not chemically, salty but it tasted like the ocean. Furthermore, I might have over did it with the soy sauce, trying to make it move. Texture wise, it was no different than eating squid sashimi. So in the end it was a once in a lifetime experience, but taste wise it was nothing out of the ordinary. That being said it was still good. So I. The end I give it an 8/10 for taste and that is great.
For the price point however, it was quite high. Rm70 for two small octopus is very expensive, but I guess it was a good gimmick so I guess it wasn't too bad. For this I give it a 5/10
In conclusion, it is worth trying out if you want to have a new culinary experience, but the taste definitely will not be anything out of this world
