Busan Station noodle spot, bibim milmyeon and 10 dumplings: Yeongdong

Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap (영동밀면&돼지국밥) is a restaurant specializing in milmyeon (Busan-style wheat noodles) and dwaeji gukbap (pork and rice soup), a 2–3 minute walk from Exit 7 of Busan Station in Dong-gu, Busan. The writer ordered suyuk baekban (boiled pork with rice and soup), bibim milmyeon made with house-made noodles and 10 dumplings: the bibim milmyeon had chewy noodles and a sweet-and-sour sauce, while the suyuk was tender with no gamey smell and the broth was milky and clean. Yeongdong Milmyeon & Dwaeji Gukbap suits travelers who want to try both milmyeon and gukbap in one place at Busan Station.

Rice cake shop by Hadan Station, Busan: injeolmi taste test, Hohobak

Hohobak is a tteok (Korean rice cake) shop near Exit 1 of Hadan Station in Saha, Busan, known for its pumpkin injeolmi (rice cake coated in powder). The writer bought pumpkin, mugwort and black sesame injeolmi at Hohobak to compare them: the pumpkin was gently sweet, the mugwort had a slightly bitter herbal aroma, and the black sesame was rich and nutty. With neat packaging, Hohobak's injeolmi makes a safe choice for a gift when visiting parents or as thank-you rice cakes.

Peanut bread baked in 5 minutes near Seomyeon Station, Busan: Daeshin

Daeshin Peanut Bread Busan Seomyeon Branch is a takeaway bakery on Seojeon-ro near Seomyeon Station in Busanjin, Busan, that bakes peanut bread to order. Drawn in by the nutty smell drifting onto the street, I ordered a box of 80 pieces for 10,000 won and had it freshly baked in about 5 minutes. Crisp outside, moist inside and full of whole peanuts, Daeshin peanut bread makes a satisfying light snack in Seomyeon.
