"Chef Kim Jae-hoon brings the flavors of Seoul and Sydney (both places he has worked) back to his hometown of Busan at the Michelin-starred Palate. Applying contemporary techniques to ingredients not often found around Busan, the chef builds layer upon layer of flavor in each dish. For the seemingly simple radish pie, for instance, he creates a deep chicken-radish stock, made by concentrating multiple batches of bones and vegetables. Set next to a pier in Yongho-dong, the location is much quieter than the city’s bustling beach areas, but the restaurant is becoming a destination unto itself." - Summer Sun-Min Lee
