Jeju Food Guide

This is post #2 of my 3-part Jeju guide series. I will take you through the best food options in four areas: Jeju City, Udo Island, Seogwipo and Jungmun. To read post #1 of this series (guide on places to visit in Jeju), click here.

Summary

Jeju City: Black Pork BBQ from Black Pork Street, Live Octopus and Abalone from Dongmun Traditional Market, Ginseng Chicken from Jungwon Restaurant

Udo Island: Seafood Noodle Soup, Jajangmyeon and Sweet & Sour Black Pork from Sanho Banjeom, Peanut Ice cream from various cafes on Udo Island

Seogwipo: Steamed Pork/ Beef Noodle Soup from Ollae Guksu, Matcha Desserts and Drinks from Osulloc Tea Museum Cafe, Street Food from Seogwipo Maeil Olleh Market, Freshly-picked Tangerines from a Tangerine Farm

Jungmun: Fried Chicken from BHC, Traditional Korean BBQ on Cheonjeyeon-ro, Banana Milk and Banana Flavoured Desserts from Yellow Cafe

General: Food from Convenience Stores like CU, Lotte Mart and GS25

What to eat in Jeju City

(1) Black Pork BBQ

Walk down the Black Pork Street and spontaneously choose a Black Pork BBQ restaurant from the rows of restaurants serving this delicacy. Black pork (known as the “Wagyu” of pork) is usually smoked over charcoal and grilled until the meat is tender. This allows the smoke to penetrate the meat juices resulting in a flavour unlike other BBQ pork. Black pork is also special because it is sliced thicker than other pork.

For mouth-watering clips of this dish and to see how the pork is supposed to be cooked, watch Strictly Dumpling’s YouTube review.

My subjective rating: 8/10

Cost: ~₩24000

(2) Live Octopus and Abalone at Dongmun Traditional Market

I really enjoyed eating live octopus (or san-nakji, 산낙지). The texture of the tentacles is slimy, which somehow goes very well with the sesame oil and salt dipping sauce that came with the dish.

The octopuses are killed just before they are cut and served. The nerve activity in their tentacles make the pieces move posthumously, even as you pick them up to eat. Octopuses have complex nervous systems: two-thirds of their neurons are localised in the nerve cords of their arms. This causes reflex actions to persist even when the octopuses receive no input from their brains.

There are, however, health hazards that come with eating this dish (for more information, read this article). Take special precaution to chew the tentacles slow and thoroughly before swallowing so that you do not choke.

My subjective rating: 10/10

Cost: ₩25000 for one plate of octopus and one plate of abalone.

(3) Ginseng Chicken from Jungwon Restaurant

Each serving comes with one whole chicken, stuffed with sticky rice and boiled in Ginseng soup. The soup is thick and has a sweet taste with a tinge of bitterness. The dish is very nourishing and is believed to boost your immune system, lower your blood sugar and cholesterol levels and reduce stress. Ginseng Chicken can be eaten by itself or dipped in sesame oil and salt.

My subjective rating: 8/10

Cost: ₩13000

Address: Singwang-ro, Jeju City, Jeju

What to eat on Udo Island

(1) Sanho Banjeom’s seafood noodle soup, jajangmyeon and black pork

Sanho Banjeom sits just across from Sanho Beach. The restaurant is known for its (i) spicy seafood noodle soup (”jjambbong”) (which contains fresh seafood and locally sourced edible brown alga), (ii) jajangmyeon and (iii) Jeju Black pork cooked in sweet and sour sauce.

My favourite dish was the the jjambbong - the soup was rich and had a hearty portion of fresh clams and prawns.

My subjective rating: 10/10

Cost: ₩21000 for one bowl of jjambbong and one bowl of jajangmyeon

Address: 252 Udohaean-gil, Udo-myeon, Jeju City

(2) Peanut Ice Cream

While cycling along the coast of Udo Island, snack on some peanut ice cream from various shops scattered throughout the Island. Keep a lookout for Jimmy’s (지미스), Dennis Cafe (대니스카페) and Udo Prince Story (우도왕자이야기). The peanuts used in this dessert are locally-grown and are sprinkled over soft-serve ice cream.

Although I liked the dessert, I was slightly disappointed that the ice cream overwhelmed the peanut toppings. The flavours in the ice cream were quite weak without the support of the peanut bits.

My subjective rating: 7/10

Cost: ₩4,000 – ₩5,000

What to eat in Seogwipo

(1) Steamed Pork/ Beef Noodles from Ollae Guksu

Steamed pork/ beef noodle soup is one of Jeju’s top delicacies. This dish is served with your meat of choice (tender and thinly sliced), clear broth and a generous serving of noodles. This dish can help you cleanse your palate and keep warm on a cold day.

However, the dish was slightly too bland for me. Having grown up with Singaporean food, I prefer bolder flavours (like those in Nasi Lemak, Chilli Crab or Durian). Nonetheless, this is just my personal preference. If you like foods with a healthier and cleaner finish, you should definitely drop by Ollae Guksu for their steamed noodles.

My subjective rating: 6/10

Cost: ₩8000 per bowl of beef noodles

Address: 24, Gwiarang-gil, Jeju, Jeju Island 63119, South Korea

(2) Matcha Desserts and Drinks at the Osulloc Tea Museum Cafe

(Read here)

(3) Street Food at Seogwipo Maeil Olleh Market

(Read here)

(4) Freshly-picked Tangerines

Visit a tangerine farm! (Read here)

What to eat in Jungmun

(1) BHC Fried Chicken

The BHC branch in Jungmun is a 5-minute walk from the Teddy Bear Museum and thus is a convenient stop for lunch after you have visited the museum. We ordered two baskets of chicken: (i) soy garlic chicken and (ii) fried chicken with cheddar cheese seasoning. The fried chicken was freshly prepared and served warm. This contributed to the chicken’s "crispy on the outside and soft on the inside” texture. The chicken wings and drumsticks were also doused generously with sauce and seasoning. The portions at BHC are quite large - 2 baskets of chicken were more than enough for the 4 of us. Overall, BHC fared significantly better than the other fried chicken chains we tried in Jeju (like Mom's Touch).

Of course, you cannot have fried chicken without beer (you can read more about this phenomenon at: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/vvqjq4/behind-koreas-obsession-with-fried-chicken-and-beer). Make sure you remember to order some CASS beer to go with your chicken.

My subjective rating: *15/10 (best fried chicken I’ve ever tasted!)

Cost: ₩55000 for 2 baskets of fried chicken and 2 glasses of beer

Opening Hours: 11:00-00:00 (closed on Sundays)

(2) Korean BBQ on Cheonjeyeon-ro

The set-up of the restaurant was very unique. We had to take our shoes off before entering the dining area and traded dining tables for traditional Korean mats.

Ambience aside, the food was good, but did not stand out from the Korean BBQ at other restaurants.

My subjective rating: 8/10

Cost: approximately ₩14300

Note: Each bowl of rice came with a free Doenjang Jjigae (Soybean Paste Stew).

(3) Yellow Cafe (Banana Milk Cafe)

Here, you can find the signature Banana Milk-related products everywhere. The cafe serves beverages, ice cream and desserts with banana milk flavour. It also sells banana milk souvenirs. In addition, the cafe has many photo spots for you to snap pictures for your Instagram.

My subjective rating: 8/10 (additional points were given for the gimmicks!)

Opening Hours: 09:00-21:30

Address: 2877-13 Yerae-dong, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, South Korea

In General...

(1) Food from convenience stores

Convenience stores to you should stop by include CU, Lotte Mart and GS25.

Look out for banana milk, soju, instant rice, packed gimbap and instant noodles. If you like spicy food, you can try the Fire Noodle Challenge (see: https://spoonuniversity.com/news/tried-fire-noodle-challenge-happened).

On a side note, Yakult makes for a very good Soju mixer.

9 Proven Indigestion Remedies You Can Try Today

For most of us, mealtime is a pleasure. Sometimes, though, eating brings the uncomfortable symptoms of an upset stomach, or indigestion. One in four people experiences it occasionally or regularly.[1] While there are a variety of over-the-counter and prescription drugs that claim to target the problem, effective natural remedies to improve your digestion are readily available in your pantry.

What Is Indigestion?

Sometimes called dyspepsia, indigestion causes a painful, burning sensation in your upper abdomen. It may also cause you to feel uncomfortably full during or after a meal, or to burp more than usual. This condition typically affects the stomach and the esophagus, which comprise the upper part of your gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

Symptoms of Indigestion

A burning sensation in your stomach or upper abdomen

Bloating

A sensation of pressure

A growling stomach

Acidic taste in your mouth

Nausea or vomiting

Diarrhea or constipation

Dyspepsia is not dangerous, but it can affect your quality of life. In order to appreciate your meals and get the full nutritive value of your food, you'll want to keep your digestive system running smoothly.

Indigestion is not the same as heartburn — also called acid reflux — which causes a burning sensation in your chest because stomach acid has entered the esophagus. However, indigestion and heartburn often show up together.

Top 9 Indigestion Remedies

The good news is that you can reduce or manage indigestion by living a healthy lifestyle, making smart choices about your diet, and looking to therapeutic plants and nutritional supplements when needed. All of these remedies have the added bonus of supporting your overall health. Most of these natural remedies are safe but always ask your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or have any specific condition that may interfere.

1. Apple Cider Vinegar

My personal favorite is adding one tablespoon of ACV — organic, raw apple cider vinegar — into a glass of purified water (if you're brave, or experienced, you can also drink the ACV as a shot). Rich in nutrients and probiotics, ACV counteracts an upset stomach and heartburn with enzymes — natural chemicals that break down food so we can absorb the nutrients. The ash (minerals) in ACV promotes proper pH balance in our body.

Take one tablespoon in at least half a glass of water before or after a meal. Be sure to shake the bottle first to mix the cloudy “mother of vinegar" on the bottom. Try adding a squeeze of lemon into the water as well.

2. Ginger

Many traditional plant remedies are highly effective at reducing indigestion.[2, 3] One of the most well-known and oft-used is ginger root. Studies show that ginger reduces nausea and vomiting, and it may help prevent ulcers.[4]

You can chew a bit of peeled, fresh, raw ginger root before or after a meal, or brew it into a tea. Ginger in any form helps protect the stomach and prevent indigestion symptoms such as cramping, bloating, and nausea.

3. Licorice Root

Licorice root comes from a plant in the pea and bean (legume) family. Its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties help ease indigestion symptoms by protecting the mucus of your stomach lining.

You can consume it the same way as ginger — in tea, or chewed raw if you can find it. You can also take it as a supplement called DGL, or deglycyrrhizinated licorice.

4. Fennel Seeds

Fennel is a Mediterranean plant in the carrot family with a licorice-like flavor. Its oil has many therapeutic uses. Fennel seeds help calm muscle spasms and reduce the gas and nausea of indigestion. If you dine in Indian restaurants, you may have seen a small bowl of them on the table.

Try chewing on half a teaspoon of seeds after meals. Alternatively, add one half-teaspoon of fennel seeds to boiling water, strain, and drink as tea.

5. Black Cumin Seed

The flowering plant Nigella sativa — also known as black seed, black cumin, and black caraway — has been known since at least the time of King Tut to protect the stomach lining, fight inflammation, and repel harmful bacteria.[5]Black cumin seed is a commonly used natural remedy for GI problems including indigestion.

You can chew black seeds whole, ground, or boil them in water to make tea. You can also use organic food-grade black cumin seed oil internally, in small amounts.

6. Peppermint Oil

Peppermint essential oil has many therapeutic properties, including relief for GI problems such as indigestion and heartburn.[6] As an anti-spasmodic, peppermint oil relaxes stomach muscle contractions associated with pain, bloating, and nausea. Peppermint oil also helps fight harmful bacteria.

You can take peppermint oil as a supplement in capsule form, apply it to the skin blended with a carrier oil, or use a few drops to make an after-meal tea. Be careful, though: If you have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peppermint could worsen your symptoms. An herbal tea such as chamomile is a better choice.

7. Digestive Enzymes

Digestive enzymes help break down dietary fiber, protein, carbohydrates, and fats. While the body produces these, we can also get them from certain foods — like papain in papaya or bromelain in pineapple. When you don't get enough digestive enzymes — whether through your diet, or your body does not produce them properly — it may cause indigestion.

As you age, your body produces fewer digestive enzymes, making supplementation more important. Eating raw foods also boosts the body's production of enzymes. If you do not eat many raw vegetables and fruits, try taking a supplement containing a blend of digestive enzymes, or one with papain or bromelain, to help indigestion.

8. Probiotics

Probiotics are helpful bacteria or microbes that support digestive health. When “bad" gut bacteria outnumber the good ones, health problems can result, including GI ailments liked indigestion. Probiotic supplements can help restore the balance. A recent study[7] found that people with functional dyspepsia have different gut microbes than other, but something as simple as eating yogurt with Lactobacillus for several months restored healthy probiotic flora and reduced indigestion symptoms.

I recommend supplementing with a probiotics blend, which you can purchase in capsules, pills, and powders. Even better, increase your intake of probiotic-rich foods, like sauerkraut, kombucha, miso, and other fermented foods, or coconut-milk yogurt.

9. Baking Soda

Sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, is a popular indigestion remedy because it quickly neutralizes excess stomach acid and re-balances the body's pH. Mix half a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water and drink it after a meal. If you're taking medications, make sure it's been an hour or two after your last dose before taking the baking soda.

What Causes Indigestion?

The root cause of most indigestion lies in what you put into your body. If you eat certain foods or combinations of food, you may end up with indigestion. These factors may increase your chance of experiencing indigestion:

Eating fried, fatty, or spicy foods

Eating acidic foods such as tomatoes or citrus fruit

Eating dairy if you have lactose-intolerance

Eating too much or too fast

Smoking

Drinking excessive alcohol

Drinking caffeinated drinks such as coffee or soda

Taking certain medications including NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen) and some antibiotics.

Several conditions can lead to indigestion. Indigestion is common during pregnancy, stress can cause indigestion, and overweight and obese individuals may also have more dyspepsia. Even hormone imbalances can contribute to increased indigestion.

How to Avoid Indigestion

The best way to treat indigestion is not to get it in the first place. Ideally, you should eat a whole-foods, plant-based diet, not smoke, and avoid medications or foods that trigger an upset stomach. Here are some practical ways you can prevent indigestion:

Eat slowly and chew your food completely. If you rush, you may swallow air, which can prompt indigestion.

After eating, wait a while before exercising.

Wait two to three hours before lying down after a meal.

If you need to lose a few pounds, start a fitness regime or diet program.

Reduce your stress. Practice stress-reduction techniques such as meditation or yoga.

When Indigestion Is Something Else

About one-quarter of people with indigestion-like symptoms may have an underlying condition.[8] Some of these include:

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) (where stomach acid irritates the lining of your esophagus)

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

Irritable bowel disease (IBD)

Peptic ulcers (a sore in the lining of the stomach or intestine)

Gallbladder issues, such as gallstones

Infection with H. pylori or other types of harmful bacteria

Gastritis (an inflamed stomach lining)

Gastroparesis (a condition in which the stomach cannot fully empty)

Celiac disease (inability to digest gluten)

Anxiety or depression

Consult a healthcare professional if you've had indigestion for more than two weeks, are in severe pain, or your indigestion includes any of the following symptoms:

Unplanned weight loss, or appetite loss

Vomiting blood

Black, tarry stool

Trouble swallowing

Extreme fatigue

If your indigestion includes shortness of breath, sweating, or chest pain that spreads to your arm, neck, or jaw, go to the emergency room.

Points to Remember

Indigestion, or dyspepsia, is a common set of symptoms that include upper abdominal pain, fullness, and nausea during or after eating. Smoking, medication, and eating fatty, fried, or acidic foods are some of the factors that can trigger indigestion.

You can usually manage indigestion through diet and lifestyle changes. Apple cider vinegar, digestive enzymes, probiotics, and ginger or licorice root are a few of the remedies that provide relief to many. You can also take it a step further and try to prevent digestion before it starts by eating more slowly, losing weight, and practicing relaxation.
