Flavors of Jeju: Haemultang

Hey there, Foodies Bee Hive Community! 😁

Earlier this year, my taste buds embarked on an unforgettable journey during a trip to Jeju, South Korea. The culinary adventure reached its zenith when we discovered a local gem - Haemultang, a Korean spicy seafood stew that's truly a feast for the senses! 😋

Imagine a hot, bubbling bowl filled to the brim with an astonishing array of fresh seafood. It's a seafood lover's dream come true, boasting entire octopus, succulent abalones, delicate scallops, briny clams, and even crab! The sheer abundance of seafood in this dish is nothing short of impressive! 😁

What distinguishes this Haemultang from all others I've tried is the enchanting spectacle of the abalones gracefully "dancing" in the pot, underscoring the remarkable freshness of the seafood! The server deftly prepares this stew right before your eyes, and it's a mesmerizing sight. The abalones, with their tender texture and succulent richness, steal the spotlight. Just one look at that generous pile of abalones, and you're transported to a seafood paradise! 😍

My friends and I were left in awe as we reveled in the flavors of this pot of goodness. The spiciness of the broth adds a fiery kick that perfectly complements the sweetness of the seafood. It's a taste that lingers in my memory even till today, and I'm already salivating once again just by preparing this blogpost! 😅

If you're planning to savor this culinary delight in Jeju, a word of advice for travelers: Google Maps might not be your best navigation tool in Korea. Instead, locals prefer using Naver. So, for your reference, here's the location tag in Naver to help you find this hidden gem: 기억나는집
