Gwangju charcoal BBQ with torched salchisal beef: Sangnok Hoegwan
Sangnok Hoegwan Yeontan-gui Taejeon Branch is a briquette charcoal BBQ restaurant in Taejeon-dong, Gwangju, Gyeonggi, where pork, beef and seafood can be ordered at one table. A weekend family dinner at Sangnok Hoegwan covered a full pork portion (one geun), pork jowl, skirt meat, cartilage ribs and salchisal beef, plus bibimbap, spicy cold noodles and doenjang jjigae, and the highlights were a buldak fire sauce + soybean powder + sesame oil dip and the owner reviving the coals with a torch for the last salchisal. Apart from the charcoal losing heat, the value and service at Sangnok Hoegwan make it a 200% return visit.
