The homemade side dishes heightened my anticipation for the meal. The marinated quail eggs were well-seasoned, offering a savory taste with a subtle sweetness.

The squid jeotgal had a chewy texture with a rich umami flavor that made me crave rice.

The rice topped with abalone looked appetizing, and one spoonful revealed the chewy texture of the abalone paired with the nutty flavor of the rice.

The clear seaweed soup served alongside was impressive with its clean appearance. A spoonful offered a light, oceanic aroma that was soothing.

The grilled black pork ribs were served hot on a sizzling stone plate, keeping them warm throughout the meal.

The ribs were moist and tender, perfectly seasoned with a sweet and salty marinade that complemented the rice.

The set menu also included fresh sliced mackerel, which melted in my mouth without any fishy taste.

The thickly sliced pork belly had a great balance of meat and fat, providing a tender bite with a rich flavor.

The fried mackerel was crispy and visually appealing, promising a light taste.

The main dish, grilled mackerel, was impressively presented and drew everyone's attention to the table.

The mackerel was perfectly grilled, with a crispy exterior and moist, tender flesh.

Finally, the braised mackerel was beautifully sauced, making it look incredibly appetizing. The shrimp inside absorbed the seasoning well, providing a delightful burst of flavor.

With the mackerel also well-seasoned, it melted in my mouth, offering a sweet and spicy flavor that made me want more rice.
