This dish was served first and honestly thought Praelum couldn’t have done better (but was promptly proven wrong). Octopus was tender with the right amount of bounce. They were delightfully sauced and charred to a smokiness that was reminiscent of char siew (in a good way). I wished they took the spice level up, perhaps a dusting of paprika or a really mean sambal. Still an amazing start to a great dinner at Praelum.
