City Guide Restaurant Review: Goong Joong Samgyetang / 궁중 삼계탕 (Daejeon)
Samgyetang is a Korean soup dish that consists of a whole, young chicken stuffed with rice and broth flavored with ginseng, garlic, ginger and jujube fruit. Korean people often attribute curative and regenerative properties to a hearty bowl of samgyetang, preferring to eat it on the hottest days of summer. I, however, crave chicken soup when the weather becomes cold, and a good serving of samgyetang is the perfect fix for the winter blues.
