It is basically a whole young chicken stuffed with glutinous rice and boiled in a broth of Korean ginseng, dried jujube fruit, garlic, and ginger. Samgyetang is traditionally served in the summer for its supposed nutrients, which replaces those that are easily lost through excessive sweating and physical exertion during the hot summers in Korea.

Thanks for your reply.
Ya, just simply shoot here shoot there to do record.
Not much time to think.

Thanks for reply.
No wor. Not much time to visit other place.
Sad.

Hahaha... You reminded me of Namdaemun market also. I think it's translated to South Gate Market or something like that.

Went inside to buy red ginseng and ginseng tea. It's just like a local pasar malam or Petaling Street. Comparable to Women's Street in HK.

arr, din go Namdaemun... What a waste...

Very good HenryLow!

I travelled to Korea for business a few times and I had no time to enjoy Korea. I came away with a much different feeling than what I get looking at your photos. I love your one picture of the lake/waterfall that included a little fish. Great timing!

Thank you very much.
