Hundred-year-old local ginseng chicken soup ~ the black garlic flavor is also amazing I queued for an hour to eat a bite of lamb skewers at night ~ but the table next to me was a girl from Chengdu who was wearing the shoes I wanted to buy ~ we chatted for a long time hahahaha

This is my first time eating ginseng chicken soup. One pot is for one person, and the amount is quite large. I chose the original flavor. The chicken is so tender! Especially the chicken skin, which is so tender and tastes great! . .

The chicken was filled with rice and wrapped with a whole ginseng. The ginseng flavor was quite strong, and I felt quite full after eating it. The chicken soup was quite light, but the kimchi, pickled radish, and pickled garlic were a bit spicy.

Michelin recommended [100-year-old local ginseng chicken soup] When traveling to Korea, you must taste the local food. On the first day of Seoul, a local friend immediately took me to a ginseng chicken soup restaurant near Hongdae. This restaurant doesn’t look good from the outside, but it is actually a very popular restaurant recommended by the Michelin Guide. Ginseng chicken soup is one of the traditional Korean delicacies. The chicken is wrapped with squid, rice, ginseng, etc. Each person has a separate small pot. It is said that ginseng chicken soup is particularly nutritious and very beautifying. We ate the classic ginseng chicken soup. Of course, the first thing that came up was the various side dishes that are indispensable for each table: spicy cabbage, pickled radish, pickled cucumber, etc. Soon, a pot of chicken soup came up for each person. It was very steaming hot. A large chicken leg was particularly fragrant and the chicken was very elastic. At first, I thought it was difficult to bite and worried that it would be ugly to eat. Unexpectedly, it was already stewed very soft and easy to eat. Simply use chopsticks to open the chicken. The rice inside has been soaked very well. Unexpectedly, the squid is also very good. I particularly like the soup base, which is very delicious and the most nutritious part is the soup. In addition to tourists and students, many locals also like to eat here. It is really the feeling seen in Korean dramas, very authentic and family-style. Although the decoration is simple, it is very comfortable, and there are booths for multiple people; the price is not expensive at all, the basic model is 14,000-15,000 won, and Michelin at this price is really a conscientious recommendation.

To be honest, Korean food is spicy enough to last for a long time, but not enough for the taste buds to feel. But my stomach was hurt... After eating Korean food for four days, my stomach was very uncomfortable. I went to Hongdae for lunch and found this 100-year-old local ginseng chicken soup. It is also on the must-eat list in 2019! So I quickly came to drink some chicken soup to nourish my stomach~

This restaurant is quite famous, and it's not the kind that fools tour groups. I saw that the diners are all locals and independent travelers. The waitress is a Korean lady - she doesn't speak English or Korean. Just use your hands to gesture, no problem. The checkout guy speaks good English. I like the black garlic flavor...

Suddenly I found a Michelin-recommended restaurant. It was the local ginseng chicken soup that I had always wanted to try. It was just after three o'clock when we went there. There were not many tables of customers in the restaurant, but I can be sure that they all spoke Chinese. There were also two Korean aunties among the staff, so everyone ordered with ease. The local chicken was served with glutinous rice.

One serving of chicken soup was enough for two girls. The crispy chicken was delicious, but there was too much and we couldn't finish it. The kimchi was delicious, and the onion dip was delicious. There was a Chinese waitress, so communication was barrier-free. They also spoke English. We didn't have cash, so we paid by card, which was very convenient.
