Beautiful Spring in South Korea - ToSokChon Ginseng Chicken Restaurant (Day 1, 04 Apr 2013)

After watching the royal changing guards ceremony in Gyeongbokgung Palace 景福宫, we headed to ToSokChon Ginseng Chicken Restaurant 土俗村人参鸡 to have our late lunch (around 4 pm =.=).

This authentic Korean restaurant is designed in a very unique and traditional way. I love the pink cherry blossom trees which planted in the center of the restaurant! I enjoyed a lot to eat the delicious food in this cozy environment. We ordered the signature food of this restaurant - Ginseng Chicken Soup and Ginseng Roasted Chicken. I preferred the Ginseng  Roasted Chicken more personally, because I felt the roasted chicken meat was more tastier :P

Let me show you more delicious photos of the food we ordered in this restaurant... Hope that you won't feel hungry after seeing these pictures :P

ToSokChon Ginseng Chicken Restaurant 土俗村人参鸡 - Free and refillable Kimchi and pickled radish. I preferred the pickled radish, as it was sweet and not too spicy and sour. The Kimchi was not bad too, as I don't really like to eat chili stuff normally, however I still can accept the taste of this Kimchi.

  2. Thanks for visiting my blog :) I'm not sure you will be visiting Korea during which season. But, you may refer to their official tourism website on the clothing guide - http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/AK/AK_EN_1_5_12.jsp.

    For spring time, I think it is quite cold for me. Early morning and night around 4-7 degrees and afternoon about 12 degrees. So I wore like 2 or 3 layers - t-shirt + cardigan blazer + jacket with jeans or leggings. You can bring gloves too if you stay outdoor for long hours :) This is just from my opinion anyway...
