How does the Dream Samgyetang broth taste?

Not long after ordering, the samgyetang arrived bubbling away in a stone pot. We ordered the Dream Samgyetang and the chicken porridge. The samgyetang broth is truly excellent — rich, deep, almost velvety.

The moment it arrived, the subtle scent of herbal medicine ingredients and fresh chicken broth really stirred up my appetite. 🍲 The chicken was tender and easy to eat too. There was glutinous rice inside the samgyetang, so it filled me up with carbs as well. Most of all, the broth was so rich I kept going back for spoonful after spoonful.

It wasn't too salty or heavily seasoned — mild, with a deep chicken broth flavor running through it, so it was perfect for young kids or anyone with a sensitive stomach to eat without any worry. Highly recommend Dream Samgyetang, a samgyetang spot in Dongtan!

When it started to feel a little rich, topping it off with a bite of spicy-sweet fresh kimchi or diced radish kimchi helped digestion completely and left me with a perfect, warmly filling bowl.

The peppers served alongside were fresh too, nice to eat together. Recommended for anyone near Dongtan Station looking for a restorative meal! And the owner was very kind.
