Yaksamgol Garden (약샘골가든) is a Korean BBQ restaurant on a hillside in Yakmok-myeon, Chilgok, Gyeongbuk, where the meat is grilled on a whole stone plate over a wood fire. On a weekend lunch with three daughters, the writer ordered the half set (duck, pork belly, pork neck and sausage) and Han River ramen, then finished with a sweet potato roasted in the wood fire.

Geumdeungeo Dalseo Branch (금등어 달서구 직영점) is a mackerel set meal restaurant on the 3rd floor of Jincheon Matta Town in Wolseong-dong, Dalseo, Daegu. The writer dipped a full mackerel set meal in matcha, garlic curry and plain salts, helped themselves to self-serve banchan (side dishes) and drinks, finished with seolgi (steamed rice cake), and took 5 mackerel home for the kids. Grilled crisp outside and moist inside with no fishy taste, Geumdeungeo's mackerel is worth a return visit.

Gyeongju mochi shop: karahyang with cream & red bean inside, Tareudang

Tareudang is a fruit mochi dessert shop on the main Hwangridan-gil street in Gyeongju, at 49 Sajeong-ro. On a hot day the writer ordered 2 karahyang (a mandarin-type citrus) mochi and 2 watermelon juices; Tareudang's karahyang mochi held a large karahyang with cream and red bean and tasted fresh and tangy without being heavy. For an unusual dessert or a gift box on a Hwangridan-gil walk, Tareudang's karahyang mochi is a good choice.

Gyeongju Korean restaurant, non-spicy set for 3 kids: Hwangnam Dukkebi

Hwangnam Dukkebi Restaurant Hwangnam Main Branch is a Korean restaurant in the heart of Hwangnidan-gil in Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk. On a weekend visit, two adults and three kids shared the Cheomseongdae 7-dish set (43,000 won) and the Gyeongju royal tomb steamed egg (6,000 won). The kids loved the flame-grilled bulgogi, tteok-galbi and chicken skewers, and the adults enjoyed the yukhoe and cockles. Hwangnam Dukkebi has no parking lot of its own, so weekend parking is a hassle, but the restaurant suits traveling families who want to try several non-spicy dishes.
