Large café in Ulju, Ulsan with squid ink sausage bread: MUG

MUG is a bakery café in Sangbuk-myeon, Ulju, Ulsan, on the Eonyang side of the city, with an oversized gravel parking lot that even nervous new drivers can handle. Three of us visited on a weekend morning and ordered an iced Americano, a MUG lemon smoothie, an avocado smoothie, squid ink sausage bread and white cream bread, reheating the sausage bread ourselves in the self-service microwave. With plenty of outdoor tables and a pet-friendly policy, MUG is an easy large café to visit with children and dogs.

Ulsan tteok shop for wedding favors in Sinjeong-dong: Baekho Tteokbang

Baekho Tteokbang is a pumpkin injeolmi (pounded rice cake) shop on the first floor of the Geukdong Star Class mixed-use building in Sinjeong-dong, Nam-gu, Ulsan. While researching wedding favors, the writer bought one medium pack of Baekho-tteok, coated in castella crumb, and one of Heukho-tteok, coated in black sesame, both filled with yellow sweet pumpkin rice cake that was chewy and not overly sweet. Favor sets at Baekho Tteokbang must be ordered in advance, and the writer would gladly buy the tteok again with her own money.
