How does the mixed grill for two taste: daechang, makchang and teugyang?

What I ordered at Sekwang Yangdaechang Suwon Gwanggyo that day was the mixed grill for two. The daechang is rich and nutty, the makchang is chewy, and the teugyang is mild, so they were great to alternate between.

What I ordered that day was the mixed grill for two. With daechang, makchang and teugyang all together, it's a pretty generous combo for yangdaechang lovers, and on a first visit it's nice not to agonize over "should we order them one by one?" The three cuts each have their own texture, so it was fun to eat haha

Daechang is the cut with that distinctive rich, nutty flavor, while makchang's charm lies in its chewier texture. Teugyang is comparatively mild but has a great bite, so with all three together you don't get tired of it and can alternate!

So at a place like Sekwang Yangdaechang, trying the mixed grill first seems like the best way to feel the whole appeal! One platter holds different textures and cuts, so it never got monotonous, and it was delicious from start to finish.

Daechang grilled by the staff

A big plus at Sekwang Yangdaechang is that once you order, a staff member comes and grills it for you! They cook the intestines with practiced skill, so I could just concentrate on eating.

The daechang first: as expected, the nutty flavor was unmistakable. A rich, oily savoriness spreads through your mouth, and it gets nuttier the more you chew. It gave me that "ah, this is why we eat daechang" satisfaction!

Chewy makchang

They keep grilling it so nothing burns, and with the charcoal aroma it was so good!

Makchang has a different charm from daechang. It's chewier and firmer, so it's fun to chew, and there's a mild side within the nuttiness too, so the balance was good.

Clean-tasting teugyang

Teugyang was personally my favorite cut. It's chewy yet has a clean finish, which contrasts with daechang's rich flavor and made it even more appealing.

The texture is lively without being tough, and a nutty aroma gradually rises as you chew, so my chopsticks kept going back. That's the strength of a mixed grill: each cut has its own personality, so it never gets boring to the end.

Finishing dishes and overall verdict on Sekwang Yangdaechang

At Sekwang Yangdaechang Suwon Gwanggyo, mul naengmyeon (cold noodles in chilled broth) is a good way to finish after the mixed grill, and the ice cream is self-serve. The mixed grill for two was just the right choice for two people.

Adding a cold bowl of mul naengmyeon at the end makes it perfect! You can also help yourself to ice cream haha Overall, the mixed grill for two at Sekwang Yangdaechang near Gwanggyojungang Station was just right for two.

You can try daechang, makchang and teugyang in a single order, which is efficient, and I really enjoyed getting that signature yangdaechang flavor all at once.
