During my trip to Sokcho, I went to Hwangbuja Twigim (황부자튀김) at the central market for ojingeo sundae (squid stuffed sausage). It is in stalls 26 and 27 of Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market. ![Hwangbuja Twigim shop at Sokcho Central Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-01-1v0ua-900.webp) The hours listed in the original post were 8:00 AM to 8:30 PM, with regular closure every Tuesday. The post said to use Sokcho Central Market parking, and that purchases of ₩15,000 or more receive a 30-minute parking voucher. ![Hwangbuja Twigim visited for squid sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-02-1sk30-900.webp) ## What did I order, and how much did it cost? The menu had individual items and half-and-half sets. I ordered nurungji ojingeo sundae (squid stuffed sausage with scorched rice), ₩15,000, and Set No. 2, ₩10,000, with half king prawn fritters and half peeled shrimp fritters. Both the sausage and fritters could be ordered half-and-half, so I could choose according to my preference. ![Hwangbuja Twigim individual and set menu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-03-1qqdr-900.webp) If it was hard to choose from the menu names alone, I could refer to the food models. There was also freshly fried food displayed in front, which I looked over before ordering. ![Food models for choosing at Hwangbuja Twigim](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-04-1exoe-900.webp) ![Food display viewed before ordering at Hwangbuja Twigim](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-05-1t6d5-900.webp) ![Food display in front of Hwangbuja Twigim](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-06-1u93g-900.webp) ![Displayed food used to choose the menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-07-d0aow-900.webp) ![Fritter display prepared in front of Hwangbuja Twigim](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-08-icyem-900.webp) ## How long was the weekday afternoon wait? I visited on a weekday afternoon and could see customers queued even from a distance. However, the staff kept cooking, so the line moved fairly quickly. The nurungji ojingeo sundae was being pressed and grilled on a flat-top griddle. ![Nurungji squid sundae grilling on a flat-top](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-09-1tju2-900.webp) ![Sundae and fritter cooking area](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-10-17wjn-900.webp) I could see the area where they made squid sundae, Abai sundae, and fritters. I liked that the smell of oil did not feel overwhelming while I waited. ![Hwangbuja Twigim viewed while waiting for takeout](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-11-1jdcg-900.webp) After waiting about 10 minutes, I picked up the food and headed to my accommodation. ![Hwangbuja Twigim takeout food for my accommodation](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-12-1rnq4-900.webp) ## Did the nurungji ojingeo sundae keep its texture after takeout? At my accommodation, I unpacked the takeout and had it with beer. ![Hwangbuja Twigim takeout unpacked at my accommodation](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-13-dwibo-900.webp) ![Squid sundae paired with beer at my accommodation](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-14-cyiln-900.webp) Nurungji ojingeo sundae is sundae made without an egg coating. The chewiness of the squid combined with the sticky texture of scorched rice, making it pleasantly chewy. ![Nurungji squid sundae from Hwangbuja Twigim](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-15-19gto-900.webp) ![Nurungji squid sundae with a sticky texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-16-zoznf-900.webp) ![Sundae combining squid and scorched rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-17-1uw61-900.webp) Even though I ate it after traveling back to my accommodation rather than right after it was cooked, it had not gone hard. The filling still had a chewy texture, and I enjoyed it through the last piece. ![Nurungji squid sundae eaten at my accommodation](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-18-70v7k-900.webp) ## What was the difference between king prawn and peeled shrimp fritters? I considered squid fritters too, but since I had ordered squid sundae, I chose shrimp for the fritters. Set No. 2 let me have half king prawns fried with their shells on and half peeled shrimp. ![Half-and-half set with king prawns and peeled shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-19-89a1l-900.webp) The king prawn fritters had the savory quality of eating the shell as well. The shells had been prepared, so I did not find it especially bothersome to eat them whole, including the heads. ![Hwangbuja Twigim king prawn fritters fried with shells](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-20-mmoqx-900.webp) They were fairly large, not because of a thick batter but because the prawns themselves were large. I especially remember the savory shell texture when chewing. ![King prawn fritters with notably large prawns](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-21-srgnx-900.webp) Peeled shrimp are shrimp fried without their shells. ![Hwangbuja Twigim peeled shrimp fritters](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-22-3ukr6-900.webp) Even without shells, the shrimp flesh was substantial and fairly large. The soft shrimp flesh came through, so I thought the peeled shrimp would be a better choice for people who dislike shells or for children. ![Peeled shrimp fritters with soft shrimp flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-5460/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-23-zz3wa-1200.webp) ## Where it is - Hwangbuja Twigim (황부자튀김) (황부자튀김) - 16 Jungang-ro 147beon-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon State, South Korea (강원특별자치도 속초시 중앙로147번길 16 속초관광수산시장 26, 27호) - 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/@the-lunch-receipt/hwangbuja-sokcho-squid-sundae-takeout-5460/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
