City Guide Review: Panini Sikdang (Busan)
The aptly named Panini Sikdang (“sikdang” means “restaurant” in Korean) is a cozy little panini place tucked into “Cafe Street” in the Seomyeon area of Busan. The cafe is small with a very retro and relaxed atmosphere. The menu includes mozzarella tomato, pork ham cheese, and beef pastrami paninis, among others.
City Guide Review: Sulbing (Busan)
Sulbing is cozy and comfortable, but always bustling and busy, and for good reason. It’s the traditional Korean dessert of bingsoo (빙수), but with shaved milk instead of shaved ice and generous heapings of injeomi (인절미), sticky rice cake with sweet bean powder over it.
City Guide Review: Doogie Board Game Cafe (Busan)
This is a board game cafe, so they don’t specialize in food. It costs 2400KRW for one hour and 2000KRW for each hour after that. A friend and I played Ticket to Ride, Set, and a couple other fun, short games for a little over two hours and it came out to 5000KRW each. (Weekdays have a cheaper fare.) Besides games, they provide free cold drinks (juice, water, etc.), and you can purchase other drinks, beer, tea, or snacks from the snack bar. The atmosphere is friendly and warm; the “waiters” help you set up your games and can explain gameplay for any game. One waitress speaks English well. The games themselves are in excellent condition.
