After several days of Korean food, Haemok was a refreshing change of pace.
After an afternoon by the coast at Cheongsapo, we headed back to Seomyeon for dinner at Shellfactory (조개공장).
If you are visiting Busan and love seafood, Gijang Market is well worth the trip.
Just a short walk from our apartment in Gyeongju, we found Judon (주돈), a popular local Korean BBQ restaurant known for its premium unmarinated pork and specialty cuts.
After our visit to the magnificent Seokguram Grotto, we stopped for lunch at Handasot (한다솥) in Gyeongju.
Our first dinner in Gyeongju brought us to Dohwadang (桃花堂), a charming hanok restaurant where every bowl is as beautiful as it is satisfying.
We picked Andong Shinsegye Jjimdak at random, drawn by its distinctive brick exterior.
Great food fills your stomach, but memorable experiences stay with you long after the meal is over. Yeonam Hwaro delivered both.
Some restaurants become famous because of social media. Tosokchon became famous because it has consistently served an iconic dish that generations of locals and visitors continue to return for.
Our first meal in Seoul had to be Kkotge Nara (꽃게나라) in Hongdae, and what a way to kick off our Korean adventure.
Thank you Chef Jordan and the entire Butcher's Block team for another wonderful evening.
