The famed ox bone soup tasted light and clean, where you can further customise its flavors with the condiments provided. I strongly recommend you to order the Mandu version, which comes with both Mandu and the thin beef slices. Korean Mandu is the upsized version of dumpling and it’s filled with minced pork, chives and other vegetables. It’s a hearty meal especially in the cold weather.

With a variety of flavors available, I ordered the green tea flavor which turns out decent. Though it’s slightly too milky, with just a tiny hint of green tea, I can’t fault it for its economic pricing, especially when it’s located in the touristy spot. There’s two different store so do look out for this store that’s selling at 2,000 instead of 2,500.

Some may be put off by the exterior and the cleanliness of the store BUT you shouldn’t care about them cause it’s the food that matters! Although they use the generic instant ramen, but the seafood is highlight of the dish. They were extremely fresh and sweet tasting. Along with the robust broth that is boiled with tons of ingredients, they made me slurp to the very last drop. It’s definitely a must-visit in Jeju.

Stranded at the outskirts, we barely had any choice. This healthy basket comprises of meat skewers, mash potato, croquette and a locally grown tangerine. Tasted decent, meat wasn’t overcooked but wished the portion was bigger for the price. What surprises me was the green coloured food which turns out to be toppoki.

Black pork was just MEHHH. This is the real deal. Fried fish fillet which was cooked to perfection. Along with a wide assortment of vegetables that is cooked upon order each order. The best part is that, it comes along with 2 ABALONES that is shucked and stir fried on the spot! This store is hidden in the fish market which opens only on the late evening.

Vanilla ice cream was rich and creamy but not overly sweet. The puffed cereal gave the additional crunch to the bingsu. It comes along with both condensed and evaporated milk which was well-balanced but the cocoa powder. Not too shabby, but the melon bingsu still seemed to be the most value for money.

Beneath the snowflakes are layers of chocolate shavings. Chocolate and green tea powder added the hint of bitterness which balances out the flavor. Small cubes of brownies added more texture. Served with two scoops of green tea ice cream which tasted decent.

Tasted refreshing, green was indeed of high quality but was slightly sweet IMO. The serving was pretty large. Super worth it cause we got it for “1+1”.

This will be your best bet. Thick layer of cheeses were laid over the thin tortilla crust. Enveloped within were sausages and tomatoes. Cheeses were so thick that even an amateur can do a cheese-pull. Things get a little “jelat” towards the end, so do share it.

The saving grace was the crispy chicken which was baked till crispiness. One could not possibly tell that they were baked and not fried.

Kyochon chicken did lived up to its name of being the top fried chicken in Seoul. Though the wait was long, each drumstick was freshly fried upon order and was served piping hot. Unlike the usual fried chicken joints, these came in a thin batter. Encased within is the juicy meat that is incomparable with those frozen meat. Between the two flavors, I personally like the spicy. I’ll be back for more.

Famed for its hand sliced noodles, they were smooth and chewy, somewhat resembles Banmian, but less doughy. The other highlight was the clear yet rich chicken broth soup, that doesn’t leave you thirsting for water after the meal. Portion is huge so do consider sharing for light eaters.
