A love affair with Adventure

Food

Things I’ve Eaten in Busan, South Korea

Things I've Eaten in Busan, South Korea

I couldn’t live in South Korea and not have an entire post dedicated to all of the food I’ve eaten. Because frankly that’s all I’ve done is eat on this trip. Food is Korea is more than just a meal to sustain life, it’s an adventure of flavor, from incredible to the unsure. Instead of my usual post on the best restaurants in the area, I’ve curated a running list of the different things I’ve tried. Honestly, you can’t go wrong. Also, most of these don’t have restaurant names attached, because they were most likely in Korean and it would be hard to find on a map.

My advice? Just walk into any restaurant and order something you’ve never had before. You might surprise yourself.

We’ll begin this list with Korean BBQ, because, of course.

Special Mention

Things I've Eaten in Busan, South Korea

Haeundae Smokehouse. Whether for brunch or dinner, this place had smoked meats as dirty as the south and just as delicious. I’m not even joking. They are located next to Paradise Hotel in Haeundae. Check them out and then go have a drink at the Standard bar up the road. Ask anyone at smokehouse and they will point you in the right direction.

Things I definitely didn’t eat.

Penis fish. Enough said.

Nice to meet you!

Well hello! My name is Alyssa!
A few years ago, I met my boyfriend. I had just graduated college and was a struggling writer. He traveled the world for work. We became a team and I turned the way we live our lives into my job as a travel blogger! The tricky part is, I never know where we are headed next! So tune in and follow me as I navigate the unknown.
