Miod Hair Salon is a hair salon on Dongseong-ro 3-gil in Jung-gu, Daegu. After a tablet diagnosis of head and face shape, the writer got a layered cut with an asymmetric part and side volume suited to a cone-shaped head, and without a perm the heavy hair became lighter and easier to style. Miod Hair Salon is a good choice for a layered cut fitted to your face shape, starting with a thorough consultation.
Dongyang Baekban Gyeongju Hwangridan-gil Main Branch is a Korean restaurant in a hanok (traditional Korean house) tucked into an alley off Hwangridan-gil in Gyeongju. The writer ordered the Sumi chicken stew (28,000 won) with yukjeon (pan-fried beef), caviar roe rice (7,000 won) and yukhoe rice (beef tartare rice, 6,000 won), then finished by stir-frying rice and chopped kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) in the leftover chicken stew broth. At Dongyang Baekban, that kkakdugi fried rice finish made with the free side dish is the combination worth repeating.
Suwolgyeonghwa is a tea café on the 4th floor facing Songjeong Beach in Haeundae, Busan, with a floor-to-ceiling ocean view. Arriving right at the 11:00 opening, I looked around the moon-shaped light at the entrance and the tea-scenting corner, then took a window seat for Hyeonwol Hojicha, the caffeine-free Jeju Breeze, and the Dalbodre box of five desserts. For a slow tea break with Songjeong Beach and the beach train in view, Jeju Breeze at Suwolgyeonghwa is the order to make.
