Octopus (JJukkumi) is a signature Korean food which is spicy and sweet. When you mix all the seasonal vegetables, kimchi, tender and chewy JJukkumi (octopus) with hot served rice, you will literally lose yourself, cry out and gobble happily.Lucky for me, there is a famous JJukkumi Stir-fry restaurant just beneath my apartment back home. Since it is a little too much for weekday dinners, me and my partner save this great food only for those GRAND moments. Thus delicious Jukkumi became a memory which connects my favorite person in this world with all those happy moments in my life.
