Songjeong ocean-view tea café for egg-yolk ssanghwacha: Suwolgyeonghwa

Suwolgyeonghwa is a traditional tea café on the 4th floor of a building facing Songjeong Beach in Haeundae, Busan, where a full glass wall looks out over the sea and the beach train. Usually an Americano-only drinker, the writer came with her mom and ordered the Bomulgyeol blend tea, ssanghwacha (traditional herbal tea) topped with an egg yolk, and the Dalbodeurae box of Korean-style sweets, taking time to enjoy each aroma first. At Suwolgyeonghwa the tea and sweets left a stronger impression than the view — a lovely spot for tea time with parents.

Moshi Moshi Sushi Lotte Department Store Gwangbok is a Japanese restaurant on the 10th floor of the main building of Lotte Department Store Gwangbok in Nampo-dong, Jung-gu, Busan.

Adults can pick sashimi and sushi while the child eats cutlet and udon, which makes Moshi Moshi Sushi an easy choice for a family meal out.

Moshi Moshi Sushi, Lotte Department Store Dongnae Branch is a Japanese restaurant on the 8th floor of Lotte Department Store in Dongnae-gu, Busan, and an easy place to eat before a baseball game at Sajik Stadium.

With department store parking and a private room, Moshi Moshi Sushi made for a relaxed meal with a child.

Gijang, Busan restaurant where spicy pilaf cuts rich pasta: Bueokgan

Bueokgan Restaurant is a Western restaurant serving pasta, pizza and steak on the 1st floor of Shinsegae Simon Busan Premium Outlets in Gijang, Busan. For dinner with my husband and our child we ordered carbonara, truffle mushroom pizza and kung pao chicken pilaf, and the spicy pilaf cut through the richness of the pasta and pizza. With a baby chair and silicone plates and cups on hand, Bueokgan was an easy dinner stop with a kid.

Haeundae kids-zone restaurant with peppercorn-free carbonara: Bueokgan

Bueokgan Haeundae Branch is a kids-welcome Western and pasta restaurant on the Dalmaji-gil hill in Haeundae, Busan. Dining with two 30-month-old children, the writer ordered the Bueokgan couple's dish set (51,000 won), which brought sweet pumpkin soup, grilled mushroom salad, carbonara and arugula prosciutto pizza, with baby chairs and baby tableware all provided. The children ate the carbonara happily, though asking Bueokgan to leave out the whole peppercorns in advance would have made it even easier.

Gochu jjajang with a baby at Marine City ocean-view Chinese: Bueokgan

Bueokgan Chinese Marine City Branch is an ocean-view Chinese restaurant on the 2nd floor of the Adelis commercial building in Haeundae, Busan, right above Subyeon Choego Pork Gukbap. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out over Dongbaekseom and Haeundae Beach, and because Bueokgan has group rooms, private rooms and baby chairs, we brought our baby and ordered gochu jjajang (chili black bean noodles), mala gosu jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup with cilantro) and black vinegar deungsim tangsuyuk (sweet and sour sirloin pork). The lineup is a step away from the usual Chinese restaurant menu, which makes Bueokgan a good pick for a family meal or a date.

Bueokgan Restaurant, Shinsegae Simon Busan Premium Outlets is a Western restaurant tucked into the innermost end of NORTH 1F at the Gijang outlet in Busan, right beside the UGG store. After shopping, the family ordered sweet potato fries (8,000 won), rucola prosciutto pizza (22,000 won) and shrimp anchovy oil pasta (18,000 won) through the KT Hi Order kiosk on the table. The smoky, savoury shrimp anchovy oil pasta was the clear favourite at Bueokgan — the one dish worth ordering again on a repeat visit.

Moshi Moshi Sushi, Lotte Department Store Dongnae Branch is a Japanese restaurant on the 8th-floor restaurant level of Lotte Department Store in Dongnae, Busan. A blogger 36 weeks pregnant and her husband booked a weekday morning table through Naver and ordered the chashu set for two, served in order as tofu salad, 16-piece sushi, udon and chashu. The sushi was not quite melt-in-your-mouth, but at this price the set filled up two people comfortably.

Haeundae kiosk-order restaurant with wood-tone window seats: Bueokgan

Bueokgan Haeundae Branch is a European restaurant on the second floor of a building on Dalmaji-gil in Haeundae, Busan, in front of Hillstate Weve. Of the three seating concepts, we took a wood-tone window seat and used the kiosk to order the couple's dish set — pumpkin soup, garden salad, shrimp rosé pasta, basil margherita pizza, orange juice and lemonade — dipping the chewy pizza dough into the soup and rosé sauce until nothing was left. With mild, unfussy Western food, a spacious hall and its own car park, Bueokgan Haeundae suits both dates and family meals.

For dinner after shopping, the writer ordered combo sushi set A and combo sushi set B together, plus one extra piece of tuna, to compare the two: set A includes futomaki (thick seaweed roll), while set B comes with three kinds of tempura and a yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) nigiri. Between the side salads and the miso soup, nothing missed, making Moshi Moshi Sushi a satisfying department store meal.
