Mango café in Jocheon, Jeju: ₩49,000 bingsu for two at Lala Cafe

Lala Cafe is a Jeju fresh apple mango specialty café on Namjo-ro in Jocheon-eup, Jeju City. The Jeju fresh apple mango bingsu for two (₩49,000, about 2 apple mangoes) and an iced americano made with Fritz beans (₩5,500) were eaten in three stages: the fresh mango on its own, then spooned up with the milk ice, and finally mixed with mango purée and condensed milk. For tree-ripened fresh apple mango bingsu in Jeju rather than the frozen kind, Lala Cafe is the answer.

Jeju beef grill with special cuts and doenjang stew: Dolgyeok Hanwoo

Dolgyeok Hanwoo is a Korean beef (hanwoo) and Jeju black pork restaurant in Yeondong, Jeju, about 10 minutes by car from Jeju Airport. The meal started with manong galbisal (garlic-marinated rib meat), hanwoo galbisal and cubed black pork jowl, and was good enough to add hanwoo special cuts at 32,000 won per 100g and the 8,000-won Dolgyeok Hanwoo doenjang stew (soybean paste stew), followed by a complimentary cold-pressed carrot juice. The garlic-marinated manong galbisal was the most memorable cut of the day.

Cheongchuni Oranda is an oranda (crisp puffed-rice cookie) and gwajul (fried rice cracker) shop inside Dongmun Market in Jeju. After a free tasting of the tangerine oranda, the writer filled a bag with basic oranda, gamtae (sea kelp) oranda and yuzu gwajul, all lightly crisp rather than hard, with a four-flavor set at 23,000 won and 550g bulk bags from 10,000 won. For a shareable Jeju souvenir beyond chocolate and chapssal pie, Cheongchuni Oranda is a generous pick.
