Uncrowded early brunch café in Gwangalli: Egg in Hell at Famous Benny

Famous Benny Gwangalli Branch is a two-floor brunch café in Millak-dong, Suyeong-gu, Busan, tucked into an alley on the raw fish market side of Gwangalli Beach. Skipping the crowded beachfront cafés, I took a 2nd-floor seat early in the morning and ordered Egg in Hell, bacon scramble toast, a yogurt bowl and an americano; the spicy Egg in Hell with 2 poached eggs and the yogurt bowl made with fresh, not frozen, fruit were the standouts. If you want a roomy, quiet brunch café in Gwangalli, Famous Benny Gwangalli Branch is an easy recommendation.

Boryeong fish shop: holiday flounder-rockfish set to go, Nokdo Susan

Nokdo Susan (녹도수산) is a second-generation sashimi shop with 40 years of history at Daecheon Port Fish Market in Boryeong, Chungnam. On a 3-day holiday drive along the west coast, the writer took a flounder and rockfish set from Nokdo Susan to go and ate it for dinner at a friend's booked accommodation; the ice-packed container kept the sashimi fresh despite the distance, with thick flounder, crunchy flounder fins and rockfish with no fishy taste. For takeaway sashimi on a west coast trip, Nokdo Susan at Daecheon Port is well worth recommending.
