Summer-trip opening lunch at Bueokgan, a Haeundae pasta restaurant

Hello! It's Dalkomi. On this summer vacation I went on a trip to Busan and went hunting for good restaurants. Since I love pasta and pizza, I visited a brunch-style Western restaurant in Haeundae, Busan that's famous for its delicious pasta. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious, so I was very satisfied. Let me start the story of Bueokgan, a pasta restaurant in Haeundae, Busan for brunch.

Grapefruit ade and orange ade

Here are the grapefruit ade and orange ade. The grapefruit ade was bitter yet tangy, and the orange ade — a flavor almost everyone likes — was cool and delicious.

Thick sweet pumpkin soup

This is the thick sweet pumpkin soup for this Busan brunch. I had it before the main dishes, and I was surprised at how rich and delicious it was.

Thanks to it, my appetite really picked up.

Garden salad

This is the garden salad at this Haeundae pasta restaurant. The dressing paired really well with the fresh vegetables.

It gave a clean, light refreshment that washed out my mouth nicely between richer dishes. A really fresh salad.

How does Bueokgan's signature shrimp anchovy oil pasta taste?

This is the shrimp anchovy oil pasta for this Busan brunch — Bueokgan's own signature dish.

From the first bite, I loved the deep savory flavor of salty anchovy paired with the nuttiness of olive oil. The umami, the sharp aroma of garlic, and the spicy kick of peperoncino combined to cut through any richness cleanly.

The plump, chewy shrimp and their sweet seafood flavor blended beautifully with the oil sauce. It wasn't the least bit greasy — an irresistible oil pasta that had me scraping up the last of the sauce.

Pepperoni pizza

This is the salty, tangy pepperoni pizza at this Haeundae pasta restaurant. Its spicy flavor spreads across your whole mouth. The tomato sauce's characteristic sweet-and-sour taste cuts through the richness, making you keep reaching for another slice. The golden-baked crust's chewy, nutty texture rounded everything out perfectly — a classic, addictively sweet-and-salty pizza.
