Haeundae Chinese restaurant: weekday lunch set with parents, Bueokgan

Bueokgan Chinese Marine City Branch is a Chinese restaurant in Marine City, Haeundae, Busan. On a weekday, the writer ordered the 35,000 won lunch set with 200g of tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork), poached-egg pork belly ganjajang (dry-fried black bean noodles) and beef brisket jjamppong (spicy noodle soup). The crisp tangsuyuk, the ganjajang mixed with burst poached egg and the spicy jjamppong were all satisfying, and the Haeundae view, well-spaced seating and easy ground-level parking made the visit comfortable with parents. For a weekday lunch with parents in Haeundae, the Bueokgan Chinese lunch set is a good fit.

Dongnae lash salon, bridal perm point for long lashes: Beauty Haze

Beauty Haze is a lash salon in an officetel building in Myeongnyun-dong, Dongnae, Busan, near Myeongnyun Station. A bride-to-be with naturally long lashes had the Beauty Haze perm point (lash perm and extensions in one session) to keep her lashes' length, and it took about 1 hour; right afterward it looked heavy and odd on her bare face, but after full makeup her eyes looked defined and natural. The Beauty Haze perm point suits anyone who wants voluminous lashes that shine with makeup.

Gangnam café croissant sandwich, choco madeleine: Selected Nicks

Selected Nicks is a large café in Gangnam, Seoul, about a 5-minute walk from Gangnam Station Exit 3, with every level from B1 to the 8th floor and the rooftop used as café space. The writer worked at a 3rd-floor outlet seat over a croissant sandwich and a chocolate madeleine, and was more impressed by the bakery and coffee than by the tiramisu Selected Nicks is known for, which costs ₩7,800 to ₩15,800. Because each floor serves a different purpose, Selected Nicks lets you pick a seat to suit why you came.
