Suwon dessert café: fresh strawberry milk & fruit cake at Café Diaz

Café Diaz main branch is a large fresh-fruit cake café on the 4th floor of the HP Building in Ingye-dong, Suwon, near City Hall Station. On a weekend visit with a friend, the writer had a fruit cake slice (11,900 won) and fresh strawberry milk (7,900 won), and liked them enough to order a chocolate strawberry cream cake as well. With moist fresh-fruit cakes and a spacious, open interior, Café Diaz main branch is a good pick for a date or a get-together.

Daejeon Korean BBQ: kkodeulsal vs pork belly texture, Ssangdung

Ssangdung Suyuk Gukbap Wolpyeong Seonsa Branch (쌍둥이수육국밥 월평선사점) is a gukbap and Korean BBQ restaurant in Wolpyeong-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon, near the Government Complex. On this visit the writer skipped the gukbap, grilled kkodeulsal and pork belly side by side to compare their textures, and finished with naengmyeon (cold noodles) topped with a piece of grilled meat. The writer's strong recommendation at Ssangdung Suyuk Gukbap: kkodeulsal if you love a chewy bite, pork belly for familiar savory richness, and naengmyeon to finish.

Ingye-dong, Suwon solo-drinking bar: aged sashimi & cocktails at Raon

Raon Asian Dining Bar is an Asian dining bar on the 11th floor of Useong Tower in Ingye-dong, Suwon, with drinks ranging from wine to traditional Korean liquor and kaoliang (Chinese sorghum liquor). The writer paired aged sashimi with a cocktail while taking in the night view, and found Raon's single seats and bar table comfortable for drinking alone. Raon Asian Dining Bar is a good pick for a solo drink, a quiet date or a second round where conversation and atmosphere matter.

Tanbang-dong tiramisu café in Daejeon with vintage lights: Reelbakers

Reelbakers is worth a spot on your list if you want soft, creamy tiramisu in a photogenic café.

Odor-free gopchang platter and rice in Dunsan-dong, Daejeon: Uhwa

Uhwa Gopchang is a gopchang (grilled beef intestine) restaurant in Dunsan-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon. After work, the writer ordered the assorted gopchang platter for two and found it rich and nutty with no gamey smell. The platter came with cheonyeop (beef tripe), sogan (beef liver), neat side dishes and soup, and the writer added one bowl of rice midway to eat with the gopchang. For two diners, the Uhwa Gopchang assorted platter for two plus one extra rice is a combination worth recommending.

Daejeon bakery café for peach wakku salt bread: Frank Coffee Bar

Frank Coffee Bar Daejeon Dunsan Branch is a bakery café in Dunsan-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon, with black signage and a calm wood-tone interior. This visit paired the peach wakku salt bread with a matcha latte: the sweet peach aroma led into the buttery salt bread, and the matcha's light bitterness kept the sweetness in check. Frank Coffee Bar is a good stop if you want something more unusual than a plain salt bread.
