Gijang: My Healing Spot in Busan

Whenever I visit my family in Busan, Gijang is my go-to escape. Just a short drive from my home in Haeundae, Gijang offers a countryside vibe that’s perfect for recharging. Lately, it’s becoming a foodie hotspot, with Instagram-worthy restaurants popping up everywhere.

Located deep within Gijang, Nanro Hoedam is a serene hanok (traditional Korean house) wrapped in stone walls and soft lighting. The sunset during my visit made the whole place look like a scene from a movie. The courtyard, complete with a pond and a bare winter tree, added a touch of rustic elegance that felt timeless.

Food Worth the Hype

Despite the 40-minute weekday wait, the restaurant’s cozy and clean interior made it worth every second. Ordering was super easy thanks to the table-side tablets. The restaurant’s name, Nanro Hoedam, even has a fun historical twist, referencing Joseon-era meat feasts known as nanrohoe.

The Star Dish: Jeollip Hanpan (전립한판)

We dove into the Jeollip Hanpan, a massive tray of pre-grilled 168-hour dry-aged black pork and fresh vegetables. Its overflowing presentation was a visual masterpiece, and the staff made sure we got the perfect photo op. Every bite was pure heaven, from the tender pork to the perfectly seasoned sides.

Don’t Skip the Jeongol Doenjang Jjigae

After finishing the meat, the staff prepared the signature jeongol doenjang jjigae(된장찌개). This hearty soybean stew was the perfect way to wrap up the meal. Spicy, savory, and soul-soothing, it’s an absolute must-try.
