B2 parking, kiosk-order shabu kalguksu in Munhyeon, Busan: Yunujae

Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu is a shabu-shabu and kalguksu (hand-cut noodle soup) restaurant near Munhyeon Crossroads in Nam-gu, Busan. On a day of pouring monsoon rain the writer parked on B2 of the building's underground lot, walked in at noon to a full house, and ate the red broth set for two as a course: shabu-shabu, house-made kalguksu noodles, then fried rice with a raw egg stirred in. The chewy house-made noodles are what keep the writer coming back to Yunujae.
