After your museum visit, you can choose to enjoy a traditional lunch of Hwanghu Myeongga’s wonderfully healthy samgyetang (chicken ginseng soup). This is one of the most popular local dishes and is made by boiling ground grain and over 19 medicinal herbs in one big pot for about 28 hours, giving the soup its unusually deep and rich color. Not just a delicious meal, this samgyetang is packed with natural health benefits thanks to its special mix of medicinal herbs.
