- Mackerel set ₩16,000
- Pork set ₩17,000
- Coca-Cola Zero ₩2,000
- Total: ₩35,000

![Mackerel set and pork set laid out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-cheonan-mackerel-pork-set/hwadeok-godeungeo-cheonan-mackerel-pork-set-15-vfavy-900.webp)

The table filled up beautifully ✨ My daughter wanted both the pork and the mackerel since they're both her favorites, so we ordered both and split them!

![Tteokbokki and alba cabbage from the self bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-cheonan-mackerel-pork-set/hwadeok-godeungeo-cheonan-mackerel-pork-set-16-p8keh-900.webp)

![Wood-fired grilled mackerel with scoring cuts](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-cheonan-mackerel-pork-set/hwadeok-godeungeo-cheonan-mackerel-pork-set-17-170bd-900.webp)

From the self bar we scooped up as much alba cabbage and tteokbokki as we wanted, since they're both our favorites hahaha. The tteokbokki was chewy and spicy — so good!!

When choosing the set, you can pick white or brown rice, so for my daughter's and my health we went with brown rice ✔️ You can also swap to gondre (mountain vegetable) rice for an extra ₩3,000.

Since there were bibimbap ingredients at the self bar, it would've been a shame not to grab some, so I carefully scooped just enough for three spoonfuls and mixed it with gochujang (red chili paste). The greens were mildly seasoned, perfect for mixing, so I demolished it in no time hahaha.

### How the wood-fired grilled mackerel tastes

The wood-fired mackerel — crispy outside, moist inside — was glossy and generously sized, with scoring cuts that made it look absolutely incredible!! It was so moist, light, and perfectly crisp-tender that I let out a sigh of admiration with the very first bite ❤️ This is the ultimate rice thief 👏🏻👏🏻

The tail part had thick, meaty flesh too, which is actually my favorite bite — but I gave it to my daughter >.< When I picked out the bones for her, she was so touched she insisted on feeding me too hahaha. Every time we eat fish, we end up handing each other pieces — such a heartwarming mother-daughter scene 💓

### Spicy stir-fried pork served on a hot iron plate

The pork bulgogi also arrived on a piping-hot plate that stayed warm throughout the meal, loaded generously with onions, scallions, and garlic — perfect to pair with the meat +.+

![Pork bulgogi served on a hot plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-cheonan-mackerel-pork-set/hwadeok-godeungeo-cheonan-mackerel-pork-set-18-1xluf-900.webp)

![Pork bulgogi topped with onions and scallions](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwadeok-godeungeo-cheonan-mackerel-pork-set/hwadeok-godeungeo-cheonan-mackerel-pork-set-19-11kmq-900.webp)

The sauce was savory with just the right amount of spicy-sweet, and it soaked into the meat beautifully — perfect with rice! Piling a big piece of pork bulgogi onto the brown rice made for a fantastic combo hahaha.

My daughter said it was so delicious she was practically wiggling with joy hahahaha.

We finished up full and wrapped things up with sungnyung (scorched rice water) 💛 With exam season keeping my daughter busy studying, having a hearty, healthy dinner together like this is one of life's little joys 💓 As we were heading out, she even scooped snacks into a paper cup hahaha.

## Why this Baekseok-dong fish grill is worth a return visit

When my daughter thanked me for bringing her here, it made me so proud all over again 💕 The staff are kind, the place is clean, the self bar is well-stocked, and above all, the grilled fish is delicious — that's why I keep coming back, and I highly recommend it 🫶🏻 That wraps up my revisit review of the Cheonan mackerel favorite, Hwadeuro-ganggodeungeo in Baekseok-dong, after another hearty dinner with my daughter 💓
