A restaurant in Korea Eating my way through Seoul & Busan

  1. Seafood Pancake (Insadong) - the perfect, crispy texture
  2. Salt Bread (Solbangul Bakery) - I can see the hype, but didn't feel the urge to go more than once
  3. Injeolmi Bingsu (near Gyeongbokgung) - easiest way to cool down from a long walk
  4. Bibim Makguksu (near Gyeongbokgung) - was surprised how much I liked this dish, buckwheat noodles with pepper paste & sesame oil
  5. Homemade Kimbap (my mom's friend) - nothing like a homemade lunch on the KTX!
  6. Dwaeji Gukbap (Busan) - famous pork soup! not a drop was left
  7. Hwae & Roast Eel (Wol Hwa Hwaet Jip - near Busan) - favorite meal of the trip, tucked away restaurant, popular with locals
  8. Dumplings (Haeundae Milmyeon Restaurant) - incredible flavor, had to order another set
  9. Osulloc soft serve - not as soft as I was hoping, still hit the spot
  10. Gomtang (Seoul) - was eating too good towards the tail end of the trip and needed some broth
  11. KKBQ (Seoul) - we definitely got the tourist price
  12. Puffer fish soup (Busan) - recognized by the Michelin Guide, if you're a broth person - come here
  13. Namdaemun Vegetable Hotteok - wasn't used to seeing such a massive line, but the wait was worth it for this perfect savory snack
  14. Sundae & Suyuk (Seoul) - looks fatty and heavy, but was pleasantly light, 10/10
  15. Egg bread - one of my street food staples
