Song Gyeong experiences making fish cakes while working a one-day part-time job at Busan's Goraesa Eomuk

Beyond simply tasting fish cakes, a representative food of Busan, programs that allow people to directly manufacture them and experience store operations are providing new enjoyment to travelers in Busan. According to a video released on the VISIT BUSAN YouTube channel, actress Song Gyeong participated as a one-day part-time worker for the Busan fish cake brand Goraesa Eomuk, directly performing store duties and a fish cake-making experience.

From store display to customer service, the work process of a one-day part-time worker

In the video, Song Gyeong began her day by receiving job training from a staff member at the Goraesa Eomuk Jagalchi Branch. Her first task was to display freshly fried fish cakes, such as the popular Cheese Ppangppang, Gaedari Fish Cake, and Whole Shrimp Mari. During the process of moving and displaying the heavy fish cakes, she also experienced the difficulties of actual store operations.

The second task was customer service and the payment process. She learned the flow of store operations through the process of guiding products to customers visiting the store and assisting with payments. While learning store duties in the video, Song Gyeong directly experienced the site where Busan fish cakes are made and sold through the process of displaying products and guiding customers.

Healthy taste without flour, fish cake-making experience class

After finishing the store duties, Song Gyeong participated in a fish cake-making experience class as the final step. In this program, the process involved making fish cake rolls using white dough and rolling five types of vegetable squares and grilled cheese rolls like tortillas. Participants directly experienced the process of pressing down the dough to create a bouncy and chewy texture.

The characteristics of the ingredients used in the experience process could also be confirmed. According to the video, Goraesa Eomuk is characterized by producing a clean and healthy taste as it does not use flour when manufacturing products. After tasting the fish cakes she made herself, Song Gyeong shared her thoughts, saying, "Since no flour is used at all, it is clean and healthy, and the texture is bouncy."

These experience-oriented programs, where one can directly make food while traveling in Busan, were introduced as a way to make travel memories last longer beyond simple tasting. The Goraesa Eomuk fish cake-making experience class is operated as a program that anyone can participate in through advance reservations.
