SAMGYETANG is actually becoming a big foodie trend in Singapore.
It is Korean ginseng chicken soup traditionally cooked by stuffing a whole young chicken with glutinous rice, ginseng, garlic and jujubes/red dates, slow-cooked in a rich, nourishing broth.
And the most important part? When the chicken meat is extremely fall-off-the-bone tender while the glutinous rice absorbs the flavour of the broth and aromatics. Definitely perfect for when you’re craving something warm, hearty and seriously comforting.
INTERESTING FACT:
Samgyetang is traditionally related to summer in Korea as the idea is to replenish energy and nourishment by consuming hot, nutrient-rich dish when it's scorching outdoor. This explains why it is gaining popularity right here in Singapore.
From dedicated samgyetang specialists to Korean restaurants known for their hearty ginseng chicken soup, these are the places worth adding to your food list. Which is your must-go samgyetang spot in Singapore?
