Jangyu, Gimhae gopchang hot pot dinner with Mom: Miracle Yang

Miracle Yang Gopchang (미라클 양곱창) is a newly opened restaurant in Yulha District 2, Jangyu, Gimhae, specializing in direct-flame grilled beef tripe and large intestine (yang and daechang). The writer and her mom shared a gopchang hot pot for two with both small and large intestines (34,000 won), plus teukyang (premium tripe) fried rice stir-fried on a stone plate (13,000 won). The broth grew richer the longer it simmered and the gopchang had no gamey smell. For dinner with drinks in Jangyu Yulha, Miracle Yang Gopchang's hot pot is one you'll still be craving the next day.

Changwon pork belly restaurant with white fried rice: Anmin Jung-dong

Anmin Jung-dong is a fresh domestic pork grill restaurant on the ground floor near Unicity in Jung-dong, Changwon, Gyeongnam. A 5pm opening-run reservation secured a table for three servings of whole fresh pork belly, white fried rice and steamed egg, and a staff member grilled the meat from start to finish and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Between that grilling service and the side menu, Anmin Jung-dong is a Changwon pork belly restaurant worth returning to again and again.
