Jeolla-do is famous for plentiful Korean Table d'hote. Set Menu with Marinated Crab is also famous. Many restaurants in Yeosu downtown sell Set Menu with Marinated Crab with similar composition and the same cost. I visited “Daeseongine” after recommended by local people in Yeosu. It is quite far distance from tourist attractions. But personally I think it was the best Set Menu with Marinated Crab restaurant in Yeosu.

Daeseongine is located nearby Dolsan outside Yeosu downtown. It is situated in the road from Dolsan park to Hyangiram Hermitage. You should refer to the map below the writing as it is located deep inside the big street.

So elegant dog is at the entrance of the restaurant. The owner has it. I heard that it is the dog kind of “american akita”. I enjoyed the pleasant time with the mild dog before having a meal. She doesn't mind whatever I do. She is so cool. :-)

The interior is so clean. It seems that the restaurant has been newly established. I think the restaurant moved from other region.

Let's see the menu. Most foods are made of seafoods from the sea of Yeosu. I ordered “Daeseongine special table d'hôte” for two people in order to taste every famous foods of Yeosu. It costs 15,000 won for a person.

Expectably, Jeolla-do has the best Korean Table d'hote. Six main dishes like Spicy Blue Crab Soup, Spicy Marinated Crab, Soy Sauce Marinated Crab, stir-fried spicy pork, Seodae spicy raw fish salad and Grilled Cutlassfish, and 16 side dishes have been served only at 15,000 won.

This is Soy Sauce Marinated Crab made of Yeosu stone crab. It is moderately salty and sweet. Many people say Soy Sauce Marinated Crab is mouthwatering. You would eat away two bowls of rice only with Soy Sauce Marinated Crab. It is amazing.

Stone crab is smaller than blue crab, but filled with flesh. Those who have weak teeth would be inconvenient to chew it due to the hard shell. But the taste is out of this world!

Mixing rice with a crab shell is the best delicacy. It is hard to mix rice with a small crab shell of stone crab. But I cannot give up. I mixed rice with the aromatic guts.

Spicy Marinated Crab has been made of blue crab, not stone crab. Pre-made one is mushy and has a bad taste. But it seems to be freshly made as seasoning sticks to blue crab.

Usually Marinated Crab is hard to eat at once due to a large size. But well chopped blue crab was convenient to eat at once. And I could enjoy full taste of crab meat. Moreover, it did not have fishy smell, and it was easy to chew due to thin shell. It was so fresh. As recommended, I thought both Soy Sauce Marinated Crab and Spicy Marinated Crab were awesome. Do average tourist attractions not have must-go restaurants?

This is “Seodae spicy raw fish salad” that is one of 10 tastes of Yeosu. It is seasoned with makgeolli vinegar fermented over a year. So it is less sour than other spicy raw fish salad, and tangy. It is moderately sour, sweet and spicy. It tastes like fish sikhye of Gangwon-do.

Seodae spicy raw fish salad has soft texture of food, not like Braised Flatfish or Rockfish. It has not been pre-made, so the ingredients are really crunch.

Yeosu is famous for plentiful seafoods. But you should eat meat, too. Delicious stir-fried spicy pork is one of the main dishes of table d'hôte. Many restaurants put Marinated Crab and Seodae spicy raw fish salad, which are among 10 tastes of Yeosu, before stir-fried spicy pork. So they usually cook the food with cheap front leg or hind leg of pork. But Daeseongine makes stir-fried spicy pork with pork belly. So you can eat away a bowl of rice just only with it.
And thick Grilled Cutlassfish was aromatic as it had been roasted in oven. Dolsan gat kimchi and seasoned vegetables were delicious, too. Every food is amazing. The owner is the best chef!

I already ate away Marinated Crab, Seodae spicy raw fish salad, stir-fried spicy pork and two bowls of rice. But Spicy Blue Crab Soup is still boiling. The food is clean and aromatic as it has been made of fresh blue crab and soybean paste. Chopped yellow aged amber is so sweet. Fresh blue crab has sweet and plentiful flesh, as you know.

I don't know whether table d'hôte has a dessert. But the ownder served a plate of fruits, openhandedly.
All side dishes of Daeseongine were great. In particular, the seasonings were perfect. I fully enjoyed the food as all ingredients were fresh and of fiar quality. I was so satisfied with fresh made food.
Many restaurants in Yeosu downtown serve “Set Menu with Marinated Crab” at 15,000 won. Even though Daeseongine is located in rural district, 20 minutes far from Yeosu downtown, it uses fresh and high quality ingredients. I strongly recommend it!
