Cheongchuni Oranda Dongmun Market Main Branch Tapdong is a café and dessert shop in Dongmun Market, Jeju. Its nutty oranda was soft and moist, while the gwajul was crisp and chewy with tea or coffee. A satisfying, easy-to-give Jeju travel gift.
Dutumhoe Dongmun Market Main Branch is a sashimi and sushi takeout counter inside the night market at Gate 8 of Dongmun Market in Jeju, Jeju. The writer packed flatfish sashimi for ₩25,000, 12-piece special sushi for ₩15,000, and 8-piece coconut shrimp for ₩10,000, all carefully packed with ice packs and a cooler bag so there was no worry about delaying the trip back to the accommodation. The unexpected star was the baek-kimchi (white kimchi) served alongside, which turned out to pair surprisingly well with both the sashimi and sushi.
Today Jeju Shilla Duty Free Shop Jeju Branch is a Jeju dessert shop selling Harubangne, madeleines shaped like dol hareubang stone statues. The 8-flavor gift set includes Earl Grey, which the writer ate as a dessert back at the hotel, and the Jeju-style packaging and variety of flavors also make it a solid gift. If you want a cute dessert souvenir you can only find in Jeju, Harubangne is worth a look.
Jeju Samchun is a black pork restaurant near Hamdeok Beach in Jeju, Jeju. After taking in the night sea, I ordered the 500g Joka Set for 50,000 won and enjoyed thick, juicy smoked black pork grilled by the staff, plus a generous complimentary kimchi jjigae for writing a Naver review. Verdict: a place I would happily revisit for a vacation-feeling black pork dinner in Hamdeok.
Cheongchuni Oranda is a dessert café in Dongmun Market, Jeju, where shoppers can choose oranda and yuja gwajul. After tasting nut, yuja, and manong oranda, the writer chose a bulk nut pack and yuja gwajul, loving their soft, chewy texture even after room-temperature storage. Verdict: a satisfying Jeju souvenir to share with parents.
Cheongchuni Oranda Dongmun Market Main Branch Tapdong is a souvenir shop in Jeju's Dongmun Market selling handmade oranda (Korean sweet crackers) and gwajul made by young Jeju locals. The owner first asks whether you want a gift set or the cheaper bulk pack for eating yourself, and after tasting, the writer picked gamtae (sea mustard) and yuzu oranda in bulk packs. The texture is soft rather than hard, and with Onnuri gift voucher Zero Pay payment accepted, it's worth adding to a Dongmun Market gift shopping route.
Jeju Samchun Hamdeok is a black pork barbecue restaurant in Jocheon-eup, Jeju, near Hamdeok Beach. Staff grill the 300-hour aged black pork smoked with grapevine chips right at the table, and the wraps with fresh kimchi salad and grilled kimchi, plus a kimchi jjigae loaded with meat, were standouts. It made for a hearty family meal after a day at Hamdeok Beach.
Dixie's is a Southern American-style restaurant near Dongmun Market in Jeju, Jeju. We ordered Cajun shrimp, grilled chicken salad, and a Nashville hot chicken burger for smoky flavors and crisp chicken. Verdict: Dixie's is a great pick when you want a different kind of satisfying meal in Jeju.

Our family of three had the 60,000-won Joka Set, enjoyed tableside grilling and child-friendly amenities, and ordered extra pork neck because our daughter loved it. Verdict: Jeju Samchun was a clean, comfortable choice for a family dinner.
