There is a tradition in Korea of eating hot food during the hot summer. There's a saying in Korea, "Get over the hotness by facing it". A long time ago Koreans enjoyed hot and nutritious food in order to recover from the deadly hot summer heat.
This food, samgyetang, is the most popular summer food in Korea and is also known as good for one’s stamina. Samgyetang is chicken soup with rice inside the chickens belly. Hanbang-Samgyetang is similar to original Samgyetang but with various medicinal herbs. So it might be a new experience if you haven't tasted any of medicinal herbs based food before. Even if the chicken is small, one whole chicken is served to each person so you have to consider it when you order Samgyetang. To give you one more tip, eat your Samgyetang with kimchi. It tastes AMAZING!!
