Red Bean Bread from JSP

A white, fluffy steamed bread stuffed with sweet red bean paste is a fine way to start a day of palace trekking. JSP also has great steamed kimchi pork dumplings.

Dosirak Lunch at Tongin Market

After a visit to Gyeongbukgung Palace, go to Tongin market, get a dosirak lunch box and meal tickets, and then go to the different vendors to pick out a sampling of different dishes (banchan). They have a nice café to get some soup and rice and then have your lunch.

Samgyetang at Kuryeo Samgyetang

Perhaps after visiting Deoksugung and a long day of walking, you will need something a bit hearty. I recommend a fi lling bowl of chicken and ginseng soup (samgyetang). If you need an extra boost, add abalone or mountain ginseng.
