There are so many famous spots, and watching everyone at the market carrying bags of it home makes me want to buy some too. Trying different places to find the one that fits my taste is part of the fun!! This time we visited Seomin Gapbu Sijang Dakjip for their garlic dakgangjeong. ![View around the public parking lot near Sokcho Jungang Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout-03-1fu67-900.webp) ## Where to park at Sokcho Jungang Market in the off-season We used the public parking lot, and maybe because it's off-season, it wasn't as crowded as I expected, and using the public lot wasn't inconvenient at all. I heard it was absolute chaos during last summer's peak season, so traveling in the off-season really does seem like the way to go haha. ![Street view of the chicken alley at Sokcho Jungang Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout-04-1stqh-m-900.webp) ## Finding Seomin Gapbu Sijang Dakjip in the chicken alley Sijang Dakjip is located at stalls 4 and 5 in the chicken alley. It seems to be run together with Ttokine Fritters! There were quite a few foreign staff members, which surprised me at first, but they doted on our baby and spoke Korean really well?!!! There was nothing uncomfortable about the service at all. ![Exterior of Seomin Gapbu Sijang Dakjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout-05-q1wua-900.webp) ![Cooking space at Sijang Dakjip where the dakgangjeong is made](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout-06-okg03-900.webp) ![Menu board at Sijang Dakjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout-07-l2te8-m-900.webp) ![Sign listing dakgangjeong, fritters, and other menu items](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout-08-1hjnx-900.webp) ## What else is on the menu besides dakgangjeong It turns out there's more than just dakgangjeong. We went in planning to get garlic dakgangjeong to go from the start, but looking at the menu, there were more options than I expected. Besides dakgangjeong, you can order fritters, squid sundae (stuffed squid sausage), tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), potato pancake, buckwheat pancake, and more. ![Pile of potatoes for freshly ground potato pancakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout-09-13gun-900.webp) The potato pancake especially caught my eye since they grind the potatoes fresh right when you order. There was a huge pile of potatoes stacked up!! If we'd been eating right there, I probably would've ordered the potato pancake too, ugh. Since we were taking food back to our accommodation, we just ordered the dakgangjeong. I would've ordered the squid sundae too if we could've eaten it hot. There were several kinds of dakgangjeong too — fried chicken, deodeok dakgangjeong (with deodeok root), shrimp gangjeong — so you could pick according to your taste, and half-and-half orders were possible. ![Sign for cup dakgangjeong, good for snacking while browsing the market](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout-10-1rvuw-900.webp) ### Cup dakgangjeong for 5,000 won There was also cup dakgangjeong, good for a quick bite while wandering the market — I thought having this option was nice. It's ₩5,000. For people like us who want to try a bit of different foods, this kind of portion is convenient. ![Box of packed garlic dakgangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout-11-t7e7q-m-900.webp) ## How the takeout tasted back at the accommodation It took about 10 minutes after ordering. They must toss it right away because it came out piping hot haha. We packed the dakgangjeong and brought it back to our accommodation! Dakgangjeong might taste best fresh out of the fryer, but I actually prefer bringing it back and eating it once it's cooled down!!! And you know it gets even crispier once it cools, right?!! ![Garlic dakgangjeong packed full of garlic bits](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout-12-grpx2-900.webp) I've tried quite a few famous dakgangjeong places in Sokcho, and by my standards, this garlic dakgangjeong was pretty good too. Seeing it packed full of garlic bits(?) made me completely satisfied haha, ugh, I guess I really am Korean after all haha. And even after it cooled, it was genuinely super crispy! I took a video but I couldn't bring myself to post it because of how I looked while eating, hahaha ugh. ### Cheonhyehyang citrus juice to share with a baby The shop also sells fruit juice and sikhye (sweet rice drink). We bought one citron juice for the baby and shared it with my husband. Since the ingredients were just 100% citron, I let her enjoy it freely haha... even if I'd tried to stop her, my husband probably would've fed it to her anyway lol, ehoyuong. ![Citron juice sold at the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout-13-1dhak-m-900.webp) When traveling with a baby, you end up looking for something they can eat while browsing the market, so having a juice option made it easy to pick something together. This was a great spot to grab a snack at Sokcho Jungang Market. ## What was good and what to remember before you go What I liked most about this visit was being able to choose from a variety of dakgangjeong types. From basics like fried chicken and garlic dakgangjeong to deodeok dakgangjeong and shrimp gangjeong, it seemed like a good spot for a group to each pick according to their own taste. Oh! And if you use the public parking lot, be sure to tell the staff and get a parking discount voucher — don't forget! If you're touring the market while traveling in Sokcho and want to grab a simple bite, this place is worth a stop. ![Garlic dakgangjeong spread enjoyed at the accommodation](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout/sokcho-market-garlic-dakgangjeong-takeout-14-qm6lz-900.webp) When traveling with a baby, packing food to eat back at the accommodation is so much more comfortable than sitting at a restaurant for a long meal, right? I already had a drink and ate about half of it myself lol. If you want to pack dakgangjeong in Sokcho and eat it comfortably at your accommodation, this visit with garlic dakgangjeong was pretty satisfying!!
