Samgyetang



 What's a visit to Korea without eating their famous Samgyetang or Ginseng Chicken Soup? Well... incomplete!
 We were at Ehwa University then when we asked one of the staff of Tony Moly if she knew of a Samgyetang place. She said there's none in the area but mentioned another resto serving chicken dish.

We walked about and saw a Samgyetang place! Sometimes, it doesn't help at all to ask the residents.
 Anyway, I forgot the name. But you'd see a plastic display of their samgyetang in their display cabinet, placed outside the resto.
 We ordered one for each person. That's one whole chicken per person!
Of course I finished mine. Each part of the chicken's body.

I loved this because the broth was creamy and tasty, without the strong ginseng taste. You only taste the ginseng once you eat the rice because the ginseng is inserted inside the chicken's rib cage.

Each spoon of rice was bursting with ginseng flavour. Eat it together with the soup and wow, it all just balances out.

If I'm not mistaken, it's WON10,000 per bowl.  Very much worth it.
