Family lunch with parents at Dongam Tteokgalbi, a Gijang restaurant

Dongam Tteokgalbi is a tteokgalbi (grilled rice cake patty) set-meal restaurant on the 3rd floor of a building right in front of Lotte Outlet Gijang in Busan. A family of four ordered the Dongam Tteokgalbi set (₩15,000 per person) and loaded up at the self-serve side dish bar with black soybean tofu, stir-fried kimchi, seasoned squid, tteokbokki, fried rice and jjajang sauce, alongside a crab doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) and generous slices of tteokgalbi. The seasoning stayed light throughout, so even overeating didn't feel heavy — a solid pick for a lunch out with parents.

Morning oranda gift set, 3 for ₩10,000 at Jeju Dongmun Market

Cheongchuni Oranda Dongmun Market Main Branch Tapdong is a souvenir shop in Jeju's Dongmun Market that makes handmade oranda (Korean puffed rice candy) and gwajul (fried dough confection) in-store. Visited on the last morning of a trip, the writer picked Udo peanut oranda, yuzu gwajul, and donut oranda, with single flavors sold 3 for ₩10,000. Soft, not-too-sweet texture made it a good fit for a parent gift.
