After sampling several flavors at the tasting counter, the writer stocked up on gamtae (sea lettuce seaweed) oranda, a big square slab scored into 9 pieces that snap apart by hand. The seaweed aroma and rice-syrup sweetness made it an easy snack for kids with milk and adults with coffee. ## Good to know - **Small set**: 23,000 won, boxed - **Payment**: Onnuri gift vouchers accepted - **Event**: Post a receipt review and get 1 oranda or 2 gwajul free - **Hours**: Daily 09:00-20:00 - **Address**: 1F, 6-8 Dongmun-ro, Jeju-si, Jeju-do (1482-1 Ildo 1-dong) - **Storage**: Keeping it refrigerated to make it last *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* If there's one course you can't skip on a Jeju trip, it's a market tour, haha. No matter where my family travels, a market tour is always on the itinerary. This time in Jeju we went to Dongmun Market, which is packed with things to see and eat — just walking around is fun enough — but we specifically went to buy sweet, crunchy oranda (Korean rice cracker sweets) at Cheongchuni Oranda, a well-known spot in the market. It's perfect not just as a travel snack but as something to keep munching on once you're back home, so I went with a fluttering heart. ![Front of Cheongchuni Oranda shop at Jeju Dongmun Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces-01-72jny-900.webp) ![Cheongchuni Oranda Dongmun Market main branch with orange signboard](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces-02-frja6-900.webp) ## Finding Cheongchuni Oranda inside Dongmun Market Walking through the market alleys, the eye-catching orange sign made it easy to spot right away. As soon as I got close to the shop, a sweet, nutty rice-syrup smell drifted out. ![Shop entrance with rice-syrup aroma and oranda on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces-03-85uqh-900.webp) ## Watching the gwajul get portioned and wrapped one by one On one side of the shop, I could see the whole process of gwajul (fried dough sweets), with its nutty aroma, being neatly portioned into bite-sized pieces. ![Gwajul being portioned into bite-sized pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces-04-1isi8-900.webp) Seeing the staff carefully individually wrapping each piece in such a clean, tidy space really built my trust! Watching them handle each piece hygienically made me feel much more confident buying it. ![Individual wrapping of gwajul in a tidy workspace](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces-05-1wxvm-900.webp) ## Picking a flavor at the tasting counter In front of the shop, a neat tasting counter was set up with various kinds of gwajul and oranda for visiting customers to try. Thanks to the owner's generosity, I could comfortably taste several flavors myself. ![Tasting counter for gwajul and oranda in front of the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces-06-19h2x-900.webp) On the display shelves, big, hefty square-packed oranda were lined up, looking absolutely delicious. ![Display shelf of square-packed oranda](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces-07-sem13-900.webp) Doesn't it look mouthwatering, packed edge to edge with grains? ![Square oranda packed full of grains](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces-08-n7v6b-1200.webp) ### A texture that isn't hard and doesn't stick to your teeth You'd normally think oranda is hard and sticks all over your teeth, making it annoying to eat, but the moment you bite into this one, it's soft, moist, and crunchy without any hardness at all. It doesn't stick to your teeth and it's sweet. We always stock up and keep it refrigerated, eating it little by little for a long time. ![Cheongchuni Oranda products displayed in various flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces-09-tyxfc-900.webp) Just looking at it made my mouth water, and it left me in a happy dilemma over which one to pick. ![Oranda display making it hard to choose a flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces-10-1uuvj-900.webp) ## Gift box sets, payment and the review event If you take part in Cheongchuni Oranda's receipt review event, you get 1 oranda or 2 pieces of gwajul as a gift. It's a shop that accepts Onnuri gift vouchers. The large single-item size of oranda is appealing on its own, but they were also selling a set made up of cute, palm-sized small pieces, packed in a box for ₩23,000. The packaging design was so cute and clean that it seemed perfect for gifting to family, friends, or coworkers as a Jeju travel souvenir without any burden. It was the kind of clean packaging that would make both the giver and the receiver happy. ![Small-size oranda gift box set](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces-11-1e73i-900.webp) ## Stocking up on the kids' favorite gamtae oranda My kids especially love the nutty, salty gamtae (sea moss) oranda, so this time there was no need to think twice — I bought a huge amount of the gamtae flavor! Seeing my hands get heavy from carrying so much made me feel pretty proud, haha. ![Bag full of purchased gamtae oranda](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces-12-2zv66-900.webp) ### Why the 9-piece scoring makes it an easy snack for kids As soon as we got home, I opened up the gamtae oranda pack for a tea time with the kids! Overall it's packed tightly into one big square, but if you look closely, it's been thoughtfully pre-scored into 9 bite-sized pieces! You can just snap them apart by hand with almost no crumbling, cleanly separating piece by piece — really convenient for handing one to each kid as a snack. The bite-sized pieces made it so easy and nice. ![Gamtae oranda pre-scored into 9 pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces-13-8xiri-900.webp) ## What the gamtae oranda actually tastes like I really want to recommend the gamtae flavor at Cheongchuni Oranda without hesitation! The subtle, fragrant sea-moss aroma pairs beautifully with the sweet, moist flavor of rice syrup. Thanks to its soft, chewy-yet-crunchy texture, the kids happily ate it with milk, and the adults paired it with coffee — it felt like a luxury dessert in its own right. If you're looking for a special, delicious snack at Jeju Dongmun Market that people of all ages would enjoy, be sure to stop by Cheongchuni Oranda for its soft, moist texture and rich gamtae flavor! ## Where it is - Cheongchuni Oranda Dongmun Market Main Branch Tapdong (청춘이오란다 동문시장본점 탑동) - 6-8 Dongmun-ro, Jeju-si, Jeju-do, South Korea - 제주특별자치도 제주시 동문로 6-8 . 1층 - 33.5122084, 126.5270275 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B2%AD%EC%B6%98%EC%9D%B4%EC%98%A4%EB%9E%80%EB%8B%A4%20%EB%8F%99%EB%AC%B8%EC%8B%9C%EC%9E%A5%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90%20%ED%83%91%EB%8F%99/@33.5122084,126.5270275,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@island-tumbler/jeju-dongmun-gamtae-oranda-nine-pieces/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
