This time too, I figured my boyfriend would eat the soy crab while I'd stick to the spicy crab and crab stew! But..!!! The spicy crab here had zero fishy taste and insane umami....🔥🔥 I finally succeeded at ganjang gejang for the first time in my life ㅠㅠ ![Close-up of the first soy crab of a lifetime](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set-14-1mgye-1200.webp) I never knew soy crab could taste this good with absolutely no fishy smell.. It was genuinely shocking, the first ganjang gejang of my life.🥹🥹 And when you mix that butter they gave us at the start with the soy crab sauce and rice... oh my god, it was heaven ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ So so good.ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ![Rice mixed with soy crab sauce and butter](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set-15-8r4tl-900.webp) ### Spicy marinated crab piled with minari (water celery) As for the spicy marinated crab... need I say more?☆ The seasoning was insane, and the meat packed inside the crab was seriously overflowing.🔥🔥 You could just tell these were really good quality crabs!!!! ![Spicy marinated crab packed with meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set-16-dnrux-900.webp) ![Spicy marinated crab topped with plenty of minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set-17-ky97c-900.webp) And what was really amazing was that the spicy crab came loaded with minari (water celery), and the spicy crab + minari combo was insane.🔥🔥 Whoever came up with this combo deserves an award ㅠ the fragrant minari and the spicy kick of the crab were a genuinely perfect match ㅠㅠ👏👏👏👏 ![The spicy crab and minari combo](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set-18-18odg-900.webp) ![Shell of the spicy marinated crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set-19-irenh-900.webp) ![Crab meat coated in spicy seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set-20-1plpc-900.webp) ### How the blue crab stew broth tastes The kkotgetang also had zero fishy smell and was truly rich and spicy!!! My husband finished a whole bowl of rice with the crab stew broth ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It was also packed full of crab bursting with roe, so we ate really well and full.😋 ![Crab stew loaded with roe-filled crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set-21-unzoh-900.webp) The crab meat... insane..🔥 It's partly the season, but Kkotgeok apparently only cooks with really good quality crab, which is why crab lovers make a special trip out here. ![Plump crab meat inside the crab stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set-22-1ahch-900.webp) ![Dessert corner with plum tea, pomegranate tea, and coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set-23-1jlwj-900.webp) ![Sign for Kkotgeok's takeout menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set/kkotgeok-cheonan-yuryangdong-crab-set-24-1k804-900.webp) ## Dessert at Kkotgeok and what you can take home After the meal, you could get plum tea, pomegranate tea, or coffee.
