I packed mini ojingeo sundae, a small baby crab, and a small seed shrimp gangjeong, and they were still warm and generously portioned three hours later at home. Verdict: the bite-sized squid sundae and crispy baby crab were especially good! ## Good to know - **Order**: Mini ojingeo sundae, small baby crab, and small seed shrimp gangjeong - **Shrimp option**: Choose shrimp with shells or without shells - **Takeout condition**: Still warm about 3 hours after arriving home - **Parking**: Nearby public parking is recommended *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ## Packing fried snacks for a late-night meal at Sokcho Central Market What comes to mind when you think of Sokcho? You can't skip a stroll around Central Market! They had ojingeo sundae (stuffed squid sausage) with an incredible look, so I packed some fried snacks for a late-night meal. Hwangbuja Twigim is inside the market, so I recommend using a nearby public parking lot! Haha. ![Directions to Hwangbuja Twigim inside Sokcho Central Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja-01-3we9a-900.webp) ![The area around Hwangbuja Twigim at Sokcho Central Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja-02-bcgwe-900.webp) While walking around, I spotted the exterior of Hwangbuja Twigim!

There were individual items as well as good-value sets. A set would be great for trying several things! We picked the mini ojingeo sundae, small baby crab, and small seed shrimp gangjeong (sweet-and-spicy glazed shrimp). Haha. The delicious-looking fried snacks were all lined up, and they really did look amazing!! Don't worry—they fry them again to order! Haha. ![Variety of fried snacks at Hwangbuja Twigim](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja-05-1tpmg-900.webp) ![Displayed fried snacks and menu options at Hwangbuja Twigim](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja-06-fq6uc-900.webp) ![Hwangbuja Twigim snacks fried after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja-07-14ln9-900.webp) ![Tasting portions and frozen-sale information at Hwangbuja Twigim](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja-08-uoul9-900.webp) They also have tasting portions, so you can try them one at a time, haha. It looked like they sell frozen ones too, and I definitely recommend stocking up at home~~ ### Trying nurungji ojingeo sundae This is Hwangbuja Twigim's nurungji ojingeo sundae! Since it has nurungji (scorched rice), they said they pan-fry it without an egg coating. I tried one as a sample, and it was wonderfully toasty, crispy, and chewy ojingeo sundae! Haha. ![Nurungji ojingeo sundae pan-fried without an egg coating](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja-09-p5bps-900.webp) ### Golden-browned mini ojingeo sundae This is the mini ojingeo sundae we ordered from Hwangbuja Twigim! It was soaked in a seriously yellow egg coating! They grilled it to a delicious golden brown, and I wanted to eat it right away! Haha. ![Golden-browned mini ojingeo sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja-10-yxed1-900.webp) ## A late-night spread at home three hours later The warm takeout was all packed up! It took about three hours to get home, but it was still warm when we arrived!? Ohh, nice~~ ![Takeout late-night spread of mini sundae and fried snacks](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja-11-jgpzr-1200.webp) My late-night spread filled the whole table, haha. I bought everything so well in Sokcho, right!?!? Even though the sizes were mini and small, the portions were quite generous! They would be perfect with drinks too, haha. ### Mini ojingeo sundae that was easy to eat in one bite First up, Hwangbuja Twigim's mini ojingeo sundae! It says mini, but personally, I loved that I could pop it into my mouth in one bite—it was easy to eat! ![Bite-sized mini ojingeo sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja-12-1nr2w-900.webp) The squid around the edge was super tender, and the filling was packed full too, so it was delicious! Seriously, sooooo good!!!! I personally highly recommend the ojingeo sundae!!!!! Haha. ![Cross-section of ojingeo sundae packed with filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja-13-1fl19-900.webp) ### Baby crab fried with the hard top shell removed Second, Hwangbuja Twigim's baby crab! They remove the hard top shell before frying it, making it easy to eat! So crispy!! Whenever I visit the seaside, I always buy this fried crab. The crispiness and blue crab aroma are what make it special! It probably would have been even tastier while looking at the sea, haha. ![Fried baby crab with the top shell removed](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja-14-16y4a-900.webp) ![Takeout menu of crispy fried baby crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja-15-jp1iy-900.webp) ![Hwangbuja Twigim baby crab late-night snack](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja-16-68xhi-900.webp) ![Fried crab that brings to mind a seaside snack](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja/sokcho-babycrab-late-night-hwangbuja-17-1lf7u-900.webp) ### Seed shrimp gangjeong, picked clean down to the heads Third, Hwangbuja Twigim's seed shrimp gangjeong! You can choose shrimp with shells or without them, but I think shrimp absolutely need to come with the heads on! Haha. You have to eat the heads too for it to feel like you've really eaten shrimp!? The sauce was so good too!!!! Even the next day, it wasn't completely super-crispy, but it was still delicious and took care of a snack too!!
