Tong Dak

2.5

from Yeongyang Center

at the In-Laws’ home

-Apgujeong, Gangnam, Seoul, Republic of Korea-

with the Family

Even though I still think of Yeongyang Center as one of my all-time favorite restaurants -based largely on memories of yore, back when it was the only place, at least as far as I was aware, offering rotisserie chicken – I haven’t been there in years.  Just too many other options these days, and I don’t hang out in Apgujeong like I did when I was, say, 20.

Across the street, the iconic Galleria Department store.
Birds slowly roasting in the rotisserie, visible through the window from the street – the ultimate point-of-sale marketing.

With MIL feeling under the weather, we dropped by to get her takeout samgyetang, a classic under-the-weather dish.

The menu offers samgye tang, tong dak, bread, soup, and lemonade.

I got myself an order of the tong dak.
