Busan tourism must definitely have Seomyeon and Haeundae in your itinerary. "Busan Nampodong" should also be included. In addition to shopping in Busan and visiting Busan attractions, Busan cuisine is also a must-try. It is always better to eat well. Today ’s introduction is the recommended restaurants for Busan Nampodong Food!

When it comes to Busan Nampo-dong, in addition to Yongdusan Park and Gwangbokro Shopping District, you can stroll around, but you can't miss the sugar cakes in Busan. However, there are so many delicious dishes in Busan Nampo-dong, everyone should be dazzled, so today I will introduce you to my list of Nampo-dong food. Not only the typical Nampodong restaurants, roadside cuisines are also not to be missed.

1. Myeongrang Hot-Dog（명랑핫도그）

• 2nd Store Address：10 Nampo-gil, Jung-gu, Busan
• 1st Store Address：6, Gwangbok-ro 39beon-gil, Jung-gu, Busan

When travelling in Busan, shopping on the road until you are hungry, instead of eating too much in restaurants, it is better to choose some Korean snacks. Koreans most often choose simple and cheap hot dogs. After a long period of observation, when people pass through Nampodong in Busan, and when they pass Myeongrang Hot-Dog, they will ask their friends "Do you want hot dogs?", And then stop, buy a hot dog and continue shopping.

In fact, Myeongrang Hot Dogs are already well-known in Korea, and there are hundreds of stores are open in South Korea. There are two Myeongrang Hot Dogs in the Nampodong business district.

Starting from the most basic Myeongrang hot dogs, cheese flavours, mozzarella cheese flavours, crispy noodle skins, potato skins and other changes are all available. The price is about 1,000 to 2,300 won, which is cheap and delicious. Enough to fill your stomach between meals. My most recommended one is the "Potato Hotdog (감자 핫도그)". The outer skin is inlaid with potatoes fried to make it crispy.

The hot dogs are all fried on the spot. After frying, the boss will ask whether to add sugar and then the sauce will be added by the customer according to his own preferences. I have heard the secret of others is to sprinkle sugar, drizzle with tomato sauce, chilli sauce or yellow mustard sauce, and then eat while hot.

2. Waffle Khan (와플칸)

Address：1-1, Gwangbok-ro 55beon-gil, Jung-gu, Busan

Located in the bustling business district of Nampo-dong, Busan, the Nampo-dong dessert shop Waffle Khan at the entrance of the alley has attracted many Koreans to come to the shop, and there are many recommended articles in Korean blogs. Nampodong Cuisine: At the door of Waffle Khan, there are menus and pictures for reference. From jam muffins to ice cream fillings, the price ranges from 3,000 to 4,500 won.

Nampodong Cuisine: Waffle Khan's waffle skin is thick, and the taste is not wet and soft. It is still crispy and delicious. It is amazing. It is recommended for waffle lovers who like to eat crispy taste. When making waffles, the owner will ask if they should be divided into two, because waffles are thick and large, and it is just right for two people to eat one.

3. Nampodong Takoyaki (남포동 타코야끼)

Address：28-1, Changseon-dong 1-ga, Jung-gu, Busan

There is an alley in the Nampo-dong business district of Busan, and the prices of clothing stores here are relatively cheap. There are some snack vendors in the middle of the alley. Among them, the takoyaki stall is located near the Waffle Khan, a stall set by an old gentleman.

From the appearance of takoyaki fried on the machine, it can be seen that the owner has accumulated the experience to make takoyaki crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Good to eat.

4. ABIGO (아비꼬)

Address：11 Nampo-gil, Jung-gu, Busan

Busan Nampodong Cuisine: Abigo is located in the alley and is a restaurant that specialized in curry. There are many seats in the store, and there is also a Chinese menu.

From the menu, you can choose to add a few dishes and ingredients, or directly select the single and double set menus that are well-matched in the menu. The set meal is super full. Although the main are curry dishes, but after the actual trial, I like this Nampodong cuisine : Abigo's tonkatsu, which is the most popular tonkatsu restaurant, the sauce is great, but the best is, not to mention, the tonkatsu itself. It's very meaty and tender and you don't get fed up with it.

5. RED BEEF (레드비프)

Address：56-18, Gwangbok-ro, Jung-gu, Busan

In this year's newly opened Busan Nampodong gourmet restaurant : RED BEEF, the signature is raw beef rice bowl, where rice is served with lettuce salad, then covered with medium-cooked beef, and finally with an egg on top, from appearance is really marvellous. The taste is very worth visiting again.

Medium-cooked beef, the raw part is chewy, and the cooked part is not too chewy, satisfying the two tastes of beef at the same time. When I tried it, I really thought it was delicious. Lettuce salad and egg mix together, which not only reduces the greasiness of meat and rice but also increases the taste level. It will not be too salty or too light.

People who dare not eat raw beef in Korea may consider this medium cooked Nampodong gourmet restaurant : RED BEEF. Other dishes such as steak rice bowl, sukiyaki, this Nampodong gourmet restaurant is great in various meat cooking methods, it is worth trying.

6. Ggujibbong Samgyetang (꾸지뽕삼계탕)

Address：28 Nampo-gil, Jung-gu, Busan

In Korean tourism, ginseng chicken soup, the samgyetang, can be said to be one of the must-eat foods. Especially in the summer days of South Korea, ginseng chicken soup is a must.

In this Busan Nampodong cuisine the soup is boiled for a long time, the flavour is nice and thick, the chicken tender and smooth, the chicken bones and meat can be easily separated with chopsticks. It was really great. In particular, the garlic is stewed to a very soft level, which practically melts in your mouth.

Although in Korean culture you eat ginseng chicken soup to condition you up when the weather is hot, I recommend you wait for the weather to cool down to have a better body condition. The samgyetang in Nampodong, Busan is a good choice.

9. Matsongsong Noodles (맛송송면집)

Address：28-1 Nampo-gil, Jung-gu, Busan

Busan Nampodong Gourmet Restaurant: Matsongsong Noodles serves food similar to the small hot pot in Taiwan. Normally serves a pot per person, so you can dine alone. The price is around 6,500 to 8,500 won. Although it is a noodle shop, a small bowl of rice is attached to each pot, so that you can eat it with the soup at the end.

Matsongsong Noodles recommends that the best way to eat is to finish the small hot pot noodles first, leave some soup base for the rice, heat and stir for a while, cook porridge, and even pour some seaweed to mix with the porridge. You can eat two kinds of food in one meal.

Because the soup is boiled twice, the taste will gradually become salty after eating, but the small addition of rice is covered with sesame oil, which makes the taste of porridge even better than the soup base taste.
