Travellers to Jeju Island will definitely know about Dongmun Market Place, one of the
well-known traditional market in Jeju Downtown. However, in Seogwipo, another part of
Jeju Island, Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market is really some place that worth to recommend.
I was amazed by the clean and nice market's condition. Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market have different stalls that sell a variety of things, include foods, fruits, clothes, and so on. Some stalls are also selling local products such as Jeju chocolate and snacks.
There is ahjumma that selling the famous Jeju Mandarin Orange, Hallabong.
1 basket is selling at 10,000₩, normally 5 to 6 oranges depend on the sizes.
I was attracted by one of the stalls which full with people busy to line up. It is a food stall selling black pork skewer. Decided to give it a try due to the crowd and ordered 2 skewers without understand the menu.
The skewers are mix with black pork, some bell pepper and Korean Rice Cake (Teok). I tried
both mild and slight spicy but still prefer mild flavor as i cant really take spicy.
The sauce is an add point for it.
After the black pork skewer, another stall that draw my attention is this, the one having long queue.
After having a close look, this stall is selling Hallabong juice and Orange Hareubang (cake with orange paste).

Even the children in KBS variety show, "The return of Superman" tried this before.
The stalls in Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market are individual so the working hours are different based on their own preference. My first visit to this market was my first day at 9pm but all of the stalls had closed by that hour.
