“Chang” means intestines in both Korean and Chinese. We’ve had intestine dishes like dry-fried pork intestines in China. What does the Korean one taste like?
We brought our curiosity to SongHak Korean BBQ, which established in 2015 and owned four locations in California. With the common ground of eating offal, here are our top picks ✅
😎SongHak Combo:
Korean BBQ is inclined to beef intestines. In this combo, we chose Gop Chang (small intestines), Dae Chang (large intestines) and pork belly from the listed six items.
Peculiar was our first impression on Gop Chang, as it had bouncy exterior and the interior was not too greasy to eat. But its crumbly texture made some of us feel a bit weird. Anyway, you will know whether you like it until you try it. 😉
Dae Chang pieces were marinated and needed to be grilled in a longer time. Well, delicious delicacy was worth waiting. So as the golded brown, crispy large intestines, with mellow fat inside. 🤤
If you want to try a different cooking style, Stir Fried Spicy Daechang would be the best choice. Gochujang, onions and sesame can ease the greasiness of large intestines. One piece can make your tongue filled with adrenaline. 😋
🥩Prime Combo No.6:
Apart from Chang, SongHak also has prime beef combo, including four types of steaks and Black Tiger Shrimp.
Staff at SongHak told us that only the intermixture of fat and lean in a cut of meat could be called “Highly Marbled.” That’s why I preferred Highly Marbled Rib Eye Steak, as only one single bite could I taste the juice and freshness of the beef. 🤩
Grilling beef may require more patience and adeptness. The staff came to our table time to time and checked our cooking pan, as if they installed a timer in their body. Thanks to them, we had a wonderful time eating Korean BBQ at SongHak. 🥰
