도두해녀의집 — Restaurant in Jeju

It’s a bit out of the way from the city but this is where all the locals go! But be prepared to wait like a lot of we’ll-known places.

They’re famous for their abalone congee and they only allow you to order two per table so keep that in mind when you go.

We went while it was hot so we also got the cold abalone sashimi which is served in a cold soup and a bowl of rice.

They really pack a lot of seafood in their dish so don’t be scared by their price. It’s definitely worth going out...

Get both mulhoe and porridge for a good filling brekky 😏 My favorite place to go in Jeju. I always eat here the day I arrive and the day I leave Jeju since it's pretty close to...

Amazing. Specializing in Moolhwae (translated water, raw fish), they were out of the special so I got the next best, abalone moolhwae. Plenty of abalone for just W12000 as of 2023. This much abalone alone would probably be around $40 in America. Super delicious.

We also tried the Sashimi rice, and the abalone porridge, both were excellent. Great way to start a Jeju vacation since its right by the...
