When I watch a foodie program where the cast members eat delicious food while watching TV channels, my hands stop and I get more and more addicted to it. While looking at the screen where a foodie feast unfolds, “Where is that place?†At the same time that thought, the search became busy. The places I'm going to introduce today are the restaurants in “Busan†that have been introduced in many gourmet programs, such as the Demand Gourmet Party, Life Master, and the Three Heavenly Kings, and have proven their flavors. From Gwangan Seaside Park, which beckons with its gorgeous night view at night with its blue sea and sparkling sandy beaches, to Munhyeon-dong Mural Village, which arouses curiosity with its colorful murals, to Choryang Chinatown, which is full of exotic sensibility! 0% chance of failure! Here are some reliable Busan Broadcasting Gourmet Tour courses.
Starting with sputum mochi tteokbokki, which has a chewy texture, traditional Chinese dumplings bursting with moisture and juice, and even seafood that's fresh and fresh! That's where I saw it on TV! Let's stop being envious and go eat!

“Dari Restaurant†is a food stall that has continued its tradition for 40 years from 1980 until now. You can use the self-service system for everything from ordering to receiving food and returning plates. The signature menu is “tteokbokki,†made by mixing a whole thick rice cake with red sauce. After the mochi is boiled in the fish paste broth, the seasoning is soaked all the way to the inside, and the unique texture of the chewy rice cake is still alive. The combination of eating “squid tempura,†which uses a thick layer of tempura batter on giant squid to make the most of its fluffy texture, dipping it in tteokbokki soup is also popular. The sweet and spicy seasoning soaks into the tempura batter and blends harmoniously with the chewy squid.
