Samgyetang (삼계탕) "Ginseng Chicken Soup)


I tried this food one time before. It was in Myeongdong, Seoul.
I heard about this food from my dad, because He said to me try "Samgyetang". He said its good taste also good for health especially when winter time.

But as my research in wikipedia, It said traditionally served in the summer time for nutrient. But I think its good too in the winter time to eat Samgyetang.

Samgyetang is the chicken soup, a whole young chicken is stuffed with glutinous rice and boiled in a broth of Korean ginseng, dried seeded jujube fruits, garlic, and ginger.

Its really good taste. The price its about 10,000 won per serving.

Donkaseu (돈가스) "Pork Cutlet"


This food similar like Katsu from Japan "Tonkatsu". Its made from pork and with sweet sauce.

Its pretty common in South Korea. We can find this food in any kimbap restaurant. The price of one meal between 4500 - 8000 won depend what in it and the restaurant too of course.

Sometime we can choose Donkaseu with cheese in the middle of the meat.
It serves with rice, salad and they will give you a free miso soup sometime.
