Beomil-dong lash lift with natural curl at 2 weeks: Almond Eyelashes

Almond Eyelashes (아몬드속눈썹) is a lash lift and lash extension salon near the gold shop street in Beomil-dong, Busanjin-gu, Busan. The writer, whose lashes naturally droop, got a lash lift at Almond Eyelashes for a change of mood. The curl looked natural rather than sharply lifted and was still holding 2 weeks later. A thorough consultation, a comfortable bed and a lash care brush to take home make Almond Eyelashes a salon the writer plans to revisit.

The verdict: Almond Eyelashes has the skill and prices to make it worth waiting a day for a booking.

Jeonpo café in Busan for a matcha latte and corn cream bread: Hippy

Hippy is a wood-toned café and dessert shop on Dongseong-ro 25beon-gil in Jeonpo-dong, Busanjin-gu, Busan. The signature matcha-frozen Hippy latte came with a regular matcha latte and a corn cream bread: the frozen matcha syrup in the signature drink made the flavour twice as deep, and the cream in the corn bread was exceptionally soft. With more non-coffee drinks and desserts than most places and cute candles sold on the side, Hippy is a Jeonpo café worth browsing as much as sitting in.

Small pork belly set with pork skin at Hwamyeong-dong BBQ: Go Ok-hui

Go Ok-hui Hwamyeong Main Branch is a Korean BBQ restaurant in Hwamyeong-dong, Buk-gu, Busan, serving samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly) in small, medium and large sets with a choice of flavors. The visit covered a small set with plain pork belly and galbi (short rib) flavor, the pork skin included with the set, minari (water parsley) at 3,000 won per 100g, plus kimchi mak-guksu (noodles in cold kimchi broth) and doenjang jjigae. Because the kitchen pre-grills the meat, smoke and grease are minimal, and the pork skin was easily the best thing on the table.

Shinsegae Centum City basement cake shop in Busan: Sijeunikeu peach

Sijeunikeu Shinsegae Department Store Centum City Branch is a fresh-fruit cake shop in the Basement 1 food hall of Shinsegae Department Store's Centum City branch in Haeundae, Busan. Torn between the fig cake and the peach cake, the writer took the peach cake home in a box and lit a candle on an ordinary weekend evening, with cheese and fresh fruit tucked into soft cream that went down easily even on a full stomach. The fruit and filling at Sijeunikeu were so generous that the cake never felt like an overpriced department store buy.
