[Jeju] Experiencing Windy Seongsan Ilchubong and Lunch at Green Roof @ Seogwipo

After enjoying the seaview at Seogwipean Bakery, we proceeded to enjoy mountain view at Seongsan Ilchubong. A Unesco World Heritage site, we enjoyed our stroll there. But boy, the wind is strong! It was enough to move your body and I am not that light. 

Here's some photos:

After that, of course, it was time for lunch. We saw there's a burger place when we descended from Seongsan, so it was easily decided to dine there.

Surprisingly, I didn't order a beer. Ivan did. I ordered their hallabong freeze. Hehe, when in Jeju, drink hallabong! I liked my drink. The best remedy on a hot day!

boneless chicken and pork & shrimp burger

The lunch looked good actually. The boneless chicken was like a super-sized popcorn chicken. Served piping hot and juicy!

Pork & Shrimp Burger @₩14900

yup, there's shrimp in there

The pork burger, one could taste the ginger in there. Shrimps were nice and visible although not much flavour.

Overall, a nice place to chill with air-conditioning. The shop owner/staff there was pretty relaxed too.

[Jeju] Bakery with Seaview @ Seogwipean Bakery 서귀피안 베이커리

It was a day to travel up north, heading towards Seongsan Ilchulbong. We stopped by Seogwipean Bakery for breakfast.

Jeju Black Pork sandwich

Jalapeno bread

matcha croissant

Not sure about you but I felt the urge to buy all those cutesy/delicious looking breads/pastries. Alas, need to refrain as stomach space is limited and we'll be out the whole day and this is just our first stop!

Bring your tray of breads/pastries that you have selected to the cashier and the staff will enquire if you like the bread to be sliced (or to be heated up etc), whether you'll have it dine-in or take-away. For drinks, I ordered the Jeju Green Barley Coffee, one of their indicated signature. I asked the staff if hot or iced is better and he said he prefers it hot, so I got that.

We brought our breads and drinks upstairs to enjoy. Will be keeping the jalapeno bread for tea-break.

cheddar cheese cookie

The cookie was very flavourful with strong cheddar cheese. Pretty filling too! The Jeju Green Barley Coffee only had a slight hint of barley and loved the matcha cream in it. Comforting and yummy.

It was a nice place to chill before heading towards the next destination.

[Jeju] Beef BBQ Dinner at Don Tung Ji 돈둥지 Seogwipo

We felt like having some beef for dinner tonight, so Ivan started Googling / Navering and found one that's pretty near our location that night. I didn't even know the name of the shop when we just casually walked over with Ivan in the lead.

We were greeted by the shop owner, as we entered the place and he asked if we were here for 돼지고기 (pork) or 소고기 (beef). I answered "소고기".

The boss spoke Korean and we tried to respond accordingly with our limited capability. Hahaa! But he was kind and helped us with our order by just bringing us the appropriate amount of meat for the 4 of us.

ready to start

Side dishes were brought out accordingly and the grill was lined up with egg and lots of cheese. Once this was almost ready, the boss would urge us to scoop the cooked jiggly eggs out cleanly and quickly (before it starts burning) and then poured us some more of those liquid eggs, and more cheese. Wow, like a mini buffet for the 계란 .

The meat was served with a bowl of marinade (sauce) and we were supposed to dip the meat into the sauce briefly before placing them onto the grill.

let's cook!

The meat was easy to grill as it was cut like smaller strips. Not sure about the amount of meat that was served to us but it looked to be about 400 gms. 

can't wait to dig in!

The marinade was good and the meat was flavourful, tender with a nice chew. The side dishes include kimchi and quail's eggs. And plenty of the egg with cheese. Like, alot! Hahaa!

let's have some beer

cheers!

We had one more serving of meat but we felt like having some soup. Saw that the other diners would have a pot of noodles or soup to finish their meal, so we wanted to do the same. Enquired from the boss if we could order a bowl of doenjang jigae 된장찌개. He went into the kitchen and we were informed shortly that they seemed to have run out of that.

Oh, ok... not an issue so we just finished up our meal of the second serving of the beef. 15 minutes later, when we were about to leave, the boss brought out a bowl of soup and set it ontop of our grill (after the meats were long gone).

tofu beanpaste soup

Ooh, that definitely made our day, though we were a bit confused. The soup was piping hot and bubbling since the charcoal was still hot. It was tasty and a nice finish to our meal. So satisfying!

taste makers

We paid ₩52000 for the entire meal including drinks. We enjoyed our meal, and was treated kindly by the owners. 잘 먹었습니다 Thank you!

[Jeju] Lunch at Mandolong Noodle House 맨도롱국수집 @ Seogwipo

This was our lunch break after we had our morning cuppa at Youdong Coffee, some savoury tangsuyuk at Chinatown Seogwipo and then a little bit of sightseeing at Jeongbang Waterfall.

Here's some photos from Jeongbang Waterfall.

We enjoyed the nature, and soaked in some sun and then, it was time to fill up our tummies!

The shop was fairly relaxed at our time of visit at about 1.40pm. Probably it was past lunch time. The shop seemed to be singlehandedly managed by the lady boss, so we waited for quite a bit after the orders were placed.

abalone mulhoe @₩15000

The abalone noodles was served cold and refreshing. Flavours were rather mild and the noodles were enjoyable with the crunchy texture of the abalone slices and plenty of vege in there.

We also ordered the pork slices noodles with additional serving of boiled slice pork.

The pork broth was comforting and the pork slices were nicely tender though sliced more thinly than the ones we had the night prior.

anchovies broth noodles @₩7000

The noodles in anchovies broth was a simpler version served with egg shreds and sliced tofu puffs.

I enjoyed the noodles here and my preference were towards the noodles with hot broth.
