Is This Busan's Best View? My First-Timer's Day Tour Itinerary

To be completely honest, despite visiting South Korea 11 years ago, I had never actually stepped foot in Busan until this trip. Coming here for the first time, my takeaway might surprise you: to me, it felt like just another city in Korea with a change to seaside backdrop. Perhaps it was the specific pacing and activities of our tour itinerary, but it didn't completely reinvent the wheel for me. That said, Busan still offered some incredibly unique sights and massive modern infrastructure right against the ocean. From riding the iconic Haeundae Blueline Park beach train to sipping coffee 100th floor in the sky. If you're curious about what a first-timer's structured Busan tour looks like, here is an honest breakdown of how we spent our day checking out the ultimate views of Busan in two days.

Food Review | Shepherd's Pie


To be honest, this is my first time having Shepherd's pies (and so is the husband). Always skip this dish especially when there is buffet spread at workplace. I don't know what stop me from having this delicious pie (I seriously can't figure out even now) despite my colleagues' praises over it.

Now we are hooked from the first mouthful. What have we been missing all these while?
Thank you Shepherd's Pie SG for sending over these pies.

Medium Chicken Shepherd's Pie (UP: $25.90 Now: $18.90)

Did wonder what is Shepherd's Pie for the longest time and since I got hold of these pies now, reading up on the story behind them made it necessary. 

Keep it simple: Shepherd's wives made them with leftover lamb meat and vegetables back in those days so that nothing goes to waste (they knew how to reduce food wastage back then). And back then, potatoes and lamb meat were popular ingredients to use in cooking dishes. Like mashed potatoes and lamb shank, a few to name.

I liked that the proportion of mashed potatoes and meaty fillings were well-balanced, making sure that you taste the 2 layers of goodness in one spoonful. And the browning of the cheesy top of mashed potatoes was well-controlled during the baking process. Not too charred.

The layer of mashed potatoes taste quite creamy and was smooth enough to just melt in your mouth. And then it went down to the the meaty fillings that were savoury and well-seasoned with a hint of herbs and spices. Bursting with joy from this dish.

The soft and tender meat with mixed vegetables (carrots, peas and corn) made me thought of Samosa. Haha... Just that this time instead of crispiness on every piece, you dig into the pie and eat with smoothness on every spoonful.

Pairing it with 2012 Merlot Red wine. A nice complement.

And also when we reheated the pies, the aroma just went around the kitchen and to the living room. Love! My very own experience.
