Over dinner with her daughter, the writer shared the mackerel set for 16,000 won and the spicy pork set for 17,000 won, then filled up at the self bar with tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), baby napa cabbage and bibimbap greens. With a choice of white or brown rice and a generous self bar, Hwadeuro-ganggodeungeo is the place she returns to whenever she craves grilled fish.

Asan galbi restaurant, 500g pork galbi with corn cheese: Ilpum Chamsut

Ilpum Chamsut Galbi is a charcoal-grilled pork galbi restaurant in Dunpo, Asan, near Asan Technovalley. The writer and her daughter ordered two servings of pork galbi (250g each, 500g total), a spread that comes with corn cheese and steamed egg as free sides, plus river snail doenjang stew for 2,000 won and bibim naengmyeon (cold spicy noodles) to finish. The marinade is mild rather than sharp and the charcoal aroma is gentle, making Ilpum Chamsut Galbi a good-value grill house worth returning to.
