A samgyetang house spread over several joined hanok in Seochon, just west of Gyeongbokgung. Each earthenware pot holds a whole young chicken stuffed with sticky rice and ginseng, in a broth made milky and thick with ground nuts and seeds. The meat falls off the bone at a nudge. A shot of ginseng liquor comes with it, and you scoop kimchi from crocks on the table. The default lunch after the palace for many visitors.
