I took away its No. 11 half-and-half squid sundae set and a small seed shrimp gangjeong, then ate them overlooking the sea at Yeonggeumjeong. The crisp nurungji version and soft egg-coated version offered distinct textures, and the sweet-spicy shrimp went well alongside them. ## Good to know - **Location**: Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, Sokcho-si, 16 Jungang-ro 147beon-gil, Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market, Units 26–27 - **What I ordered**: No. 11 half-and-half squid sundae and nurungji squid sundae set, ₩20,000 - **Also ordered**: Small seed shrimp gangjeong, ₩10,000 - **Nurungji squid sundae à la carte**: ₩15,000 - **Cooking and takeaway**: It was grilled on a hot plate and packed after I ordered. *as written by the visitor on Sep 4, 2026* At Hwangbuja Twigim (황부자튀김) in Sokcho Central Market, I took away nurungji squid sundae and ate it while looking out at the Yeonggeumjeong sea. I wanted to try the regular squid sundae too, so I chose the half-and-half set and added a small seed shrimp gangjeong. ![Takeaway visit for squid sundae at Hwangbuja Twigim, Sokcho](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-b897/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-01-g6a3q-1200.webp) ![Visit to Hwangbuja Twigim in Sokcho Central Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-02-vfwwi-900.webp) ## What did I order, and how much did it cost? The menu included a range of items, from fried shrimp and squid to squid sundae. Rather than choosing just one à la carte item, I ordered the No. 11 half-and-half set and a small seed shrimp gangjeong. ![Menu board at Hwangbuja Twigim in Sokcho Central Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-03-ag2ku-900.webp) *Hwangbuja Twigim menu board* ![Menu viewed before ordering at Hwangbuja Twigim](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-04-1mlb4-900.webp) ![Looking over menu choices at Hwangbuja Twigim](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-05-16mgk-900.webp) ![Food menu at Hwangbuja Twigim in Sokcho](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-06-1092g-900.webp) According to the menu information at the time of the original post, the No. 11 half-and-half set was ₩20,000 and the small seed shrimp gangjeong was ₩10,000.

Once they took my order, they grilled the squid sundae on a hot plate right there. I could smell it cooking as I waited, and it was packed while warm and crisp, so I wanted to take it away and eat it right away. ## Where did I eat the takeaway food? I took the food to a nearby spot at Yeonggeumjeong with a view of the sea. Eating while looking out over the East Sea, with its sounds and scent around me, was as satisfying to me as eating at a restaurant with an ocean view. ![Takeaway food enjoyed by the Yeonggeumjeong sea](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-14-q9jol-900.webp) ![Hwangbuja Twigim takeaway food eaten at Yeonggeumjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-15-wfffo-900.webp) ![Half-and-half squid sundae set eaten overlooking the sea](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-16-sa140-900.webp) ## How did the nurungji and regular squid sundae differ? The No. 11 set contained equal portions of regular squid sundae and nurungji squid sundae. Having both together let me notice the difference in texture on the outside. ![Half-and-half takeaway squid sundae from Hwangbuja Twigim](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-17-1dvv7-900.webp) ![Regular and nurungji squid sundae half-and-half set](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-18-a3e7k-900.webp) ![Two varieties of Hwangbuja Twigim squid sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-19-ng2w5-900.webp) The nurungji squid sundae had a crisp exterior from being pressed and grilled. The inside stayed moist, creating a contrast between the outside and inside, and it had a nutty flavor. ![Crisply grilled nurungji squid sundae exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-20-148vy-900.webp) ![Nurungji squid sundae in Hwangbuja Twigim's half-and-half set](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-21-1t0hn-900.webp) The regular squid sundae was soft and moist with an egg coating. Its egg coating had a nutty flavor distinct from the crunch of the nurungji version. ![Hwangbuja Twigim squid sundae with egg coating](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-22-jnpql-900.webp) ## Did the seed shrimp gangjeong pair well with squid sundae? The seed shrimp gangjeong was crisp outside and filled with savory shrimp meat. It had plenty of seeds scattered over a thick, sweet-spicy sauce, which made it good to alternate with the nutty squid sundae. I briefly considered getting dakgangjeong (sweet-spicy fried chicken), but I was happy I chose the shrimp gangjeong. ![Seed shrimp gangjeong eaten with squid sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-23-1sn8i-900.webp) ![Seed shrimp gangjeong with sweet-spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-24-167lj-900.webp) If you want to try squid sundae with different textures, I would recommend the half-and-half set and seed shrimp gangjeong combination I had. I ate mine in front of the Yeonggeumjeong sea, but I also thought it would be good to take back to your accommodation during a trip. ## Where it is - Hwangbuja Twigim (황부자튀김) (황부자튀김) - 26–27 Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market, 16 Jungang-ro 147beon-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 속초시 중앙로147번길 16 속초관광수산시장 26, 27호 - 38.2047987, 128.5898956 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%A9%EB%B6%80%EC%9E%90%ED%8A%80%EA%B9%80/@38.2047987,128.5898956,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@rice-and-conversation-4/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-squid-sundae-b897/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
