# AN EXPRESS K-FOOD ADVENTURE IN JEJU

🍊 Tangerine Land

A bowl of kimchi (fermented cabbage in bright red chilly sauce)

Jeju's rocky and volcanic soil might have proven unbearable to others, but not to tangerines!

In fact, they thrive so well that you would come across several types of tangerine juice/ tea, including the refreshing Hallabong 한라봉 and floral Cheonhyehyang 천혜향.

See if you can spot any 🍊 drink further down.

🥜 Everything Peanut

From makgeolli 막걸리 (raw rice wine) to ice cream, if you happen to stumble upon an unusually creamy but lightly earthly taste, welcome to its peanut version! This is particularly popular in Udo 우도 island, a 20-minute ferry journey east of Jeju.

Three glasses of drinks (brown iced americano, green melon matcha latte, pink watermelon) and 2 donuts with a croissant on a plate
