[South Korea, Seoul] Just a few months back, we went to Baek Nyeon Baekse Ginseng Chicken Soup (백년토종삼계탕) for some nourishment during the cold winter season. Another name for the restaurant is also known to most as Baengnyeon Samgyetang.

It was pretty filled up when we got there, despite it being about 2pm, way past lunch hours. The place is pretty clean, so you'll be pretty comfortable eating there.
Let's Eat!
There are also other varieties of ginseng chicken soup, like abalone ginseng chicken soup, for example.
One bowl can be shared by 2 people, and you can order fried chicken as well. For me, I was able to finish the entire bowl, yes, by myself. Haha.
Tender chicken!
It is very warm indeed to have Ginseng Chicken Soup for extra nourishment during winter season. Very shiok!
My friend was allergic to ginseng, so unfortunately she could not take ginseng soup. But lucky for her, non-ginseng items were also available on the menu, like roasted chicken and KFC - aka Korean Fried Chicken! It was lightly marinated, just a simple, nice accompaniment to the soup, if you're a big eater.
Low-Down
Worse bit: None.
Some of my friends liked this version better than Tosokchon 토속촌. But for me, I like the slightly stronger taste and so my points still go to Tosokchon 토속촌.
