1. Seafood Pancake (Insadong) – the perfect, crispy texture
  2. Salt Bread (Solbangul Bakery) – I can see the hype, but didn't feel the urge to go more than once
  3. Injeolmi Bingsu (near Gyeongbokgung) – easiest way to cool down from a long walk
  4. Bibim Makguksu (near Gyeongbokgung) – was surprised how much I liked this dish, buckwheat noodles with pepper paste & sesame oil
  5. Homemade Kimbap (my mom's friend) – nothing like a homemade lunch on the KTX!
  6. Dwaeji Gukbap (Busan) – famous pork soup! not a drop was left
  7. Hwae & Roast Eel (Wol Hwa Hwaet Jip – near Busan) – favorite meal of the trip, tucked away restaurant, popular with locals
  8. Dumplings (Haeundae Milmyeon Restaurant) – incredible flavor, had to order another set
  9. Osulloc soft serve – not as soft as I was hoping, still hit the spot
  10. Gomtang (Seoul) – was eating too good towards the tail end of the trip and needed some broth
  11. KKBQ (Seoul) – we definitely got the tourist price
  12. Puffer fish soup (Busan) – recognized by the Michelin Guide, if you're a broth person – come here
  13. Namdaemun Vegetable Hotteok – wasn't used to seeing such a massive line, but the wait was worth it for this perfect savory snack
  14. Sundae & Suyuk (Seoul) – looks fatty and heavy, but was pleasantly light, 10/10
  15. Egg bread – one of my street food staples

    I never get over how good Korean food *looks.* They pay such attention to visual attractiveness as well as flavor.
