My friend Matt and I went to Myeongdong yesterday and our first stop was to have steak in an ice cream cone at a little place called Balena. It’s off the Myeongdong main drag- off from California Wow. It is about Is it fusion? Is it ground breaking? It’s basically spaghetti in an ice cream cone. Sorry I’m posting this in a hurry. Live octopus today.
