Haeundae Gaya Milmyeon, founded in May 1998, is a famous milmyeon (wheat noodles) restaurant, a local Busan dish that has been loved for a long time. Milmyeon was created during the Korean War. Refugees who missed the taste of Hamheung-style naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles) made noodles using wheat flour instead of buckwheat, which was difficult to find in Busan at the time, and milmyeon became a local food in Busan. Haeundae Gaya Milmyeon boils brisket, shank, native chicken feet, ginger, onion, garlic, and various herbal medicines for 48 hours to create their broth. Then, the broth is aged for more than a year. A bowl of chewy milymeon noodles is served in a refreshing, icy broth topped with pickled radish, cucumber, boiled egg, and meat garnish. In addition to milmyeon, the restaurant also sells bibimmyeon (spicy noodles) and mandu (dumplings) with impressive chewy mandu skin.

The movie <Broker> - A meaningful place with a baby box
It is the location where the church scene with the baby box was filmed, and is impressive enough to be the starting point of the story. The name in the play was Busan Family Church. It shows the hilly terrain of Busan well, and the exterior with more than 40 years of history matches the mood of the movie. If you walk down the road, you can see the murals that appeared in the film and the friendly townscape.
