The best chicken ginseng soup

Definitely, this is the best place in Seoul  when someone would like to eat samgyetang, chicken ginseng soup. No wonder why everyone raves about this place. Wow, I must say, a long queue of  people greeted us in the entrance. The jolly diners didn't mind  the queue just to experience this famous delectable Korean dishes.

What is samgyetang? 
A whole young free-range chicken, stuffed with glutinous rice, jujube, gingko nuts, garlic, ginger, wolfberry and other medicinal herbs, in a milky broth with a solid piece of ginseng. 

My personal thoughts
The chicken was so tender it fell off the bones without exerting any effort at all. The glutinous rice was beautifully sticky and soft, while the broth was so satisfying and definitely an energy booster. Didn't know how it happened, but it just did. All in all, the foods were simple yet flavorful, very straight-forward taste. The feeling in that place was beyond words and I guess I  don't mind eating there everyday. Why not? ^ ^
