• Busan - Busan presents a cinematic landscape where majestic granite mountains meet a bustling industrial harbor. It’s a place where the rugged charm of the East Sea port blends with the glamour of the International Film Festival (BIFF), offering a culinary scene rich with street food and time-honored recipes. While Seoul might be likened to a K-drama, Busan is truly a blockbuster when it comes to cuisine.
• BIFF Square - At BIFF Square, observe the meticulous skill of vendors as they wrap plump mandu pork dumplings before steaming them to perfection. In this city, the umami-rich eomuk fish cake skewers are legendary. A visit to the small museum unveils the resilient spirit of port workers and post-war refugees, whose humble family eateries have been a cornerstone of the local community for decades.
• Jagalchi Market - Be sure to visit the renowned Jagalchi Market and capture the vibrant, sci-fi-like display of marine life, including writhing spoon worms and octopuses, alongside crates of glistening hairtail fish. Later, find the culinary masters, the ajummas, for a bowl of kalguksu, where dough is expertly sliced into thick, tangled noodle soup. Without giving too much away, our 10+ tastings include some beloved classics.
• Bupyeong Kkangtong Market - Navigate the intricate “Tin Can Alley” of Bupyeong Kkangtong Market, once a hub for smuggled American canned goods. Enjoy the iconic tteokbokki, chewy rice cakes in a spicy gochujang glaze. Sit down for dwaeji gukbap, a hearty pork rice broth, followed by gimbap with tightly rolled rice and succulent pork belly. Our evening tour edition features traditional Korean fried chicken, golden and twice-crisped for ultimate crunch. Your guide will demonstrate the “soju bomb” cocktail mixing ritual, a blend of beer and Korean spirits. Conclude the night with a classic Korean “King of Hammer” activity, a local tradition for an unforgettable night out in Busan.
• Busan - Wander through Bupyeong Jokbal Street, past plastic tent eateries that are popular gathering spots for locals. Every great film needs a memorable finale, and the ssiat hotteok pancake delivers just that. It’s sliced open with melted sugar and filled to the brim with a crunchy mix of sunflower seeds and nuts. Our food exploration provides an insight into a city that other tourists might miss. The closing credits reveal that this is the ultimate introduction to the dishes cherished by Busan locals.
