Uiwang Korean restaurant with separate group seating: mackerel set

Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo Baegun Lake Branch is a newly opened Korean restaurant on Neungan-gil in Uiwang, Gyeonggi, serving grilled fish with rice cooked in individual pots. The blogger ordered the mackerel set, the spicy marinated crab set and a kids' handmade tteokgalbi (grilled short rib patty), and confirmed the 40-car parking lot, wide table spacing, group seating split into 12-seat and 8-seat areas, and a self-serve bar with unlimited refills. Hwadeogeuro Gan Godeungeo Baegun Lake Branch is worth a return visit for big family meals or for treating parents or executives.

Danyang bakery for a multi-family trip: Black Garlic Salt Bread

Black Garlic Salt Bread is a salt bread bakery right at the entrance of Gugyeong Market in Danyang, Chungbuk. While staying at Sono Belle Danyang with friends' families who share childcare, the writer bought a set of 2 original, 1 garlic and 1 black garlic salt bread, and the sweet-salty flavor was mild enough that a child finished a whole Black Garlic Salt Bread bun alone. With pretty packaging and easy prices, Black Garlic Salt Bread is a good stop for Danyang souvenirs or thank-you gifts.

Danyang market fried chicken for 3 families: 4 adults had leftovers

Danyang Heukmaneul Nurungji Dakgangjeong is a nurungji (scorched rice) dakgangjeong (sweet crispy fried chicken) shop tucked inside Gugyeong Market in Danyang, Chungbuk, a 5-minute drive from Sonobel Danyang. On a Danyang trip with families from a co-parenting group, the blogger bought one box of Double Black Garlic for 20,000 won, and four adults still couldn't finish it; the sweet black garlic aroma paired well with the crunchy nurungji. For a late-night snack or takeout back at your Danyang lodging, a box from Danyang Heukmaneul Nurungji Dakgangjeong is worth grabbing.

Anyang grilled fish for a Pyeongchon moms' lunch: Bisan vs Baegun Lake

Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo Bisan Branch (화덕으로간고등어 비산점) is an oven-grilled fish Korean restaurant in Bisan-dong, Anyang, on the first floor of Kids Mom Center Beullu-dong near the Anyang Sports Complex. The writer ate the mackerel set and the spicy pork set with a 7-month-old baby and compared the Bisan Branch with the Baegun Lake branch visited earlier; set meals cost under 20,000 won, or 30,000-40,000 won for two. With IKEA high chairs, unlimited side-dish refills and plenty of parking, Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo Bisan Branch is a solid pick for a lunch with 2-4 Pyeongchon moms.

Danyang market bakery, 4-garlic-bread pick for big families: Danppang

Danppang Bakery (단빵제빵소) is a garlic bread bakery in the middle of Gugyeong Market in Danyang, Chungbuk, about 5 minutes by car from Sono Belle Danyang. Traveling in Danyang with friends' families, the writer waited in a long line on the year's first heat-wave warning day and took home Danppang Bakery's 4-flavor combo set, where the signature garlic bread and the cream cheese flavor were the favorites. For a big family's first visit, a box of 4 signature garlic breads is the best way to taste what Danppang Bakery does best.

Bakery by Pyeongchon Hallym Hospital: black sesame twist at Milbat

Milbat Bakery Pyeongchon (밀밭제빵소평촌) is a bakery near Pyeongchon Station in Anyang, just one traffic light across from Pyeongchon Hallym University Hospital. A bread-loving family tried the basil tomato bread, mentaiko salt bread, Simon muffin, salt bread and a baked black sesame twisted donut made with rice flour, and ranked the black sesame twisted donut first. If you have a quick errand at Hallym University Hospital, parking in the Milbat Bakery building and buying bread gets you 1 hour of parking, which makes Milbat Bakery Pyeongchon a smart stop.
