Where to Eat in Busan, Busan, South Korea

KyoChon Chicken has many branches in Korea. The KyoChon Chicken restaurant we ate at was near Busan Staton, near our guesthouse.

We ordered the KyoChon Original (18,000 krw)-a whole chicken cut into more than 20 pieces, deep fried, and smothered with sauce (garlic and soy flavor). For just two people, it was a huge serving! In Korea, fried chicken is usually paired with alcohol, nothing more. Being Filipinos, we needed rice with our fried chicken. KyoChon does not serve rice, but the server had the brilliant idea of buying from a nearby convenience store and charging us 2,000 krw per serving of rice.

I could not believe what big eaters my friend and I were-we finished all the chicken! And the rice, too!

We discovered 본가 The Born while we were strolling around BIFF. It was the poster advertising their menu that pulled us to the third floor of the same building as BIFF Theater.

My friend ordered 갈비탕 Galbitang (11,000 krw), which is beef rib soup. I ordered 차돌된장찌개 Chadol Doenjang (6,000 krw), which is soy bean paste stew served with bibimbap. This was a very very satisfying dinner.

Galbitang (top left), banchan or side dishes served on small white dishes, and Chadol Doenjang with bibimbap (bottom) ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
