Daegu makchang BBQ with pork neck and skirt meat: Supbul Makchang

Supbul Makchang is a bamboo-forest patio BBQ restaurant in a food alley near the Raemian apartment complex in Bolli-dong, Dalseo-gu, Daegu. The Supbul Makchang set costs 51,000 won and includes two servings of makchang (grilled pork intestine), one serving each of pork neck and galmaegisal (pork skirt meat), and Cheongdo minari (water dropwort). The makchang arrives pre-grilled with no gamey smell, and the skirt meat is trimmed to a good thickness. With rural-grandmother's-house props, four dipping sauces and a mouthwash handed to each diner, Supbul Makchang is a thoughtful patio BBQ spot in Daegu.

Daegu hair salon cut for puffy men's hair, no down perm: Momentium

Momentium is a one-person hair salon in Manchon-dong, Suseong-gu, Daegu, about 300m from Manchon Station. A down perm was on the table for men's hair that puffs up, but the owner advised a cut only, since perming and coloring on the same day would damage the hair, and the cut alone made the hair sit flat while the gray coverage came out as a soft tone-down shade rather than jet black. With a massage-chair shampoo room, iced Americano and butter cookies, Momentium suits anyone after a quiet, polished one-person salon.

Squid-pork bulgogi and Suhyangmi rice in Gimcheon: Sonamu Sikdang

Sonamu Sikdang is a briquette-grilled bulgogi restaurant in Apo-eup, Gimcheon, Gyeongbuk. Two servings of osam bulgogi (squid and pork bulgogi, 360g) and buchujeon (chive pancake) arrived within 10 minutes, and the 1,000-won rice bowl was Golden Queen Suhyangmi rice served with a free doenjang jjigae. With 8 side dishes and plum tea for dessert, Sonamu Sikdang tastes exactly as it did a few years ago — a local favorite in Gimcheon.

Bori-gulbi & pot rice in private rooms, Dalseo, Daegu: Geumdeungeo

Geumdeungeo Dalseo Branch is a Korean restaurant in Jincheon-dong, Dalseo, Daegu, serving wood-fired fish, barley corvina and pot rice. I explored the house-made side dishes, adults’ play area and private rooms, then enjoyed moist grilled mackerel and chewy barley corvina. A polished Korean set meal spot that would be lovely for taking your parents out.
