EGAE BAB DODUK — Restaurant in Jeju

If you prefer a hole in the wall type of restaurant with good food, this is it. My hotel concierge Ari told me about this place. You can tell this is where local people go and eat, there aren't lots of taxis driving by. After my meal, the owner had to help me by calling a taxi. The only taxi I saw was there to eat 🤣.

My main goal in Korea is finding a restaurant that serves mainly Raw Crab in soy sauce. This place is hands down the place for excellent quality of food and reasonable prices. If you go to any hotel restaurant or fancy restaurants the price will double what you pay here. The photo on the outside is what you get on your dish. See attached photos. They also give you a bowl with sesame seeds and seawee flakes, which you put some rice and squeeze the crab meat into the bowl and mixing it all up. It tastes heavenly.

Yes there are restaurants that sells for less, that is because those other restaurants the raw crab dish doesn't look like what they show in the pictures and it leaves an after taste in your mouth,...

Without any plan the next day, we woke up to enjoy breakfast at hotel before shopping at Lotte Duty Free Mall nearby. Soon it was time for lunch and I quickly searched for nearby restaurants.

Not exactly near as we had to walk about 15 minutes from the mall to reach this restaurant selling BBQ meat and marinated crabs. Apparently this is where the local people go and eat, and they serve the one of the best raw crab marinated with soy sauce in Jeju.

Maybe it was the cold weather or maybe the food next table looked absolutely delicious, everyone was famished right away.

Ordered a portion of Korean beef for the sonny who proceed to polish everything himself (with nod of approval), while the black pork meat were also delicious enough for the princesses.

As for us, we had the soy sauce marinated roe crab and prawns which were so fresh. The bowl of white rice (and seaweed) proved irresistible to mix with both crab and prawns. Premium pricing but worth...

It’s not the cheapest food around but I think it’s worth the price. The crab was briny, savoury, and absolutely delicious and it’s perfect with a bowl of rice.

We also got the marinated shrimp and the flavour was a bit lighter but phenomenal nonetheless. I think they used a different marinated soy sauce.

Finally they was the spicy marinated crab. It’s usually. It my favourite because I find that the spice overpowers the flavour of the crab but it’s still really good!

We couldn’t go back because of our schedule but it’s a must try if you’re on...
