Choux shop near Sajik Stadium, Busan: dessert after chicken, FLU:ET

FLU:ET is a handmade choux and fruit-syrup ade dessert shop on a side street in Sajik-dong, Dongnae, Busan. Before the last game of the season at Sajik Baseball Stadium, the writer packed 4 choux (plain, Earl Grey, cream cheese apple and Boseong matcha) to eat at a table seat. The plain and Boseong matcha choux, eaten after fried chicken, were so full that the cream spilled out. For an adult-fist-size choux to carry to a ballgame, FLU:ET is a solid choice.

Seomyeon Korean BBQ with ₩1,890 beer cheaper than cola: 189 Cheolsune

189 Cheolsune Matgimchi Samgyeopsal (189철수네맛김치삼겹살) is a newly opened kimchi pork belly restaurant next to Angel Hotel in Seomyeon, Busan. On a weekend date dinner, the writer grilled thick pork belly with several kinds of kimchi, then had cheese steamed egg, doenjang stew (soybean paste stew) and DIY fried rice; because drinks cost ₩1,890, draft beer was cheaper than cola. 189 Cheolsune is a good pick for a Seomyeon date or group dinner when you want proper pork belly and kimchi without a big drinks bill.
