Changwon salad shop in Yangdeok-dong: oat protein box, Why Starve

Why Starve Diet Changwon Metro Centum Branch is a salad and protein box shop in the Metro Centum building in Yangdeok-dong, Masanhoewon-gu, Changwon. At lunchtime the order was a beef oat protein box and a chicken oat protein box with oriental sauce, and with a 20-30 minute wait warning, a nearby Daiso filled the time until the boxes were ready. Diners pick the main, base and sauce themselves, and the shop registers 1 hour of parking in the building's basement lot, making Why Starve Diet a light but filling meal.

Masan lunch restaurant, second in line at 11:10am: Yun Sikdang

Yun Sikdang is a single-menu Korean set-meal lunch restaurant on the Bukmasan furniture street (Bukseong-ro) in Masan, Changwon. Arriving 20 minutes before the 11:30am opening put this couple second in line, waiting indoors, and their one table arrived loaded with salad, japchae (glass noodle stir-fry), eggplant namul, grilled bulgogi, fish, blue crab doenjang stew (soybean paste stew), seasoned raw crab, abalone jang and kimchi pancake. The sancho pepper aroma in the seasoned crab divides opinion, but the rest of the spread at Yun Sikdang was great value for a very full lunch.
