Ppyeodae Itneun Haejangguk Juchon Branch (뼈대있는해장국 주촌점) is a pork bone restaurant in Juchon-myeon, Gimhae, near Costco and Doraesaem Park. Blogger Irae went with family and friends, 4 adults in all, and ordered a large gamjatang (pork bone and potato stew) with rice, enjoying a sample plate of pyeonyuk (sliced boiled pork), ramen noodles from the self-bar, slow-simmered Korean pork neck bones and a broth of perilla seeds and ugeoji (dried cabbage greens). Ppyeodae Itneun Haejangguk Juchon Branch serves portions so generous that meat was still left at the bottom of the pot after 4 adults ate their fill.

Outdoor brunch with a dog in Gwangalli: basil oil pasta at Marento

Marento is a dog-friendly brunch restaurant in Gwangalli, Busan, right in front of the Waterside Park public car park; it serves brunch by day and runs as a bar in the evening. On a weekend lunch visit, the writer ordered basil oil pasta (17,000 won), truffle mushroom cream risotto (19,000 won), the Mare Brunch (16,000 won) and a Bokja ade (6,000 won). The food was not mind-blowing but not bad either, and the outdoor seating and reasonable prices for Gwangalli were the highlights. Marento is a good spot for an easy brunch in Gwangalli with your dog.

Yeonnal Gyeongseong Sundaeguk Suji-gu Office Station Branch is a sundaeguk (Korean blood sausage soup) and pork gukbap restaurant on Munjeong-ro in Suji-gu, Yongin. A longtime fan of the Yongin main branch ordered the head-meat-only gukbap set (₩14,000) with chapsundae (sticky rice blood sausage) and pyeonyuk (sliced boiled pork), finding the broth clean and odor-free without being too thin, and the portion so generous the writer couldn't finish even half. For anyone missing the main branch, Yeonnal Gyeongseong Sundaeguk Suji-gu Office Station Branch is a close, worthy alternative.
