Jeju sweets shop with 9-piece scored gamtae oranda: Cheongchuni

Cheongchuni Oranda Dongmun Market Main Branch Tapdong is a traditional Korean sweets shop in Dongmun Market, Jeju, making and selling oranda (puffed rice crisp bars) and gwajul (fried rice crackers). After sampling several flavors at the tasting counter, the writer stocked up on gamtae (sea lettuce seaweed) oranda, a big square slab scored into 9 pieces that snap apart by hand. The seaweed aroma and rice-syrup sweetness made it an easy snack for kids with milk and adults with coffee.

Jeju snack shop where you taste oranda before buying: Cheongchuni

Cheongchuni Oranda is a traditional Korean snack shop inside Dongmun Market in Jeju City, where shoppers can taste oranda (crisp puffed rice candy) and gwajul before buying. On a walk through Dongmun Market, the writer sampled the gamtae (sea mustard), yuzu, nut and garlic oranda one by one and took home a gift set of 20 individually wrapped pieces. Unlike the hard oranda of years past, Cheongchuni Oranda's version melts in the mouth and isn't overly sweet, making it a good Jeju souvenir for children and older family members with weaker teeth.

Cheongchuni Oranda turned out to be the ideal Jeju souvenir snack to share in the car and back at the hotel all trip long.

Cheongchuni Oranda Dongmun Market Main Branch Tapdong is a souvenir shop selling oranda (crisp puffed rice-syrup snack) and gwajul (traditional fried rice cracker) inside Dongmun Market in Jeju. Using the market's 30 minutes of free parking, I stopped in briefly, sampled the gamtae (sea kelp), yuzu and manong (Jeju garlic) oranda, and picked up the bulk mixed gwajul — the yuzu tasted bright, the manong rich, and the gamtae deeply savoury. Cheongchuni Oranda is an easy place to buy gifts for parents in a hurry.

Heat-melted yuzu oranda at Jeju Dongmun Market: Cheongchuni Oranda

Cheongchuni Oranda Dongmun Market Main Branch Tapdong is a Jeju traditional sweets shop near the entrance of Dongmun Market in Jeju City, selling oranda (crispy puffed-rice bars), gwajul (fried rice crackers) and donut oranda.

Cheongchuni Oranda is an easy, light souvenir to grab on the last day of a Jeju trip.

Turmeric noodle pork noodles and parking tips at Handam, Jeju Aewol

Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch is a pork noodle restaurant in Aewol, Jeju, right next to Landy's Donuts on the Handam coastal path.
