Had massive cravings for ginseng chicken soup towards the end of the academic year. It's strange because I never really had any ginseng chicken soup in Singapore, but I kept thinking about the delicious ginseng chicken soup I had in Korea when I visited Seoul when I was much younger. Anyway, thank god for the fact that Ktown was right outside USC. My cravings were easily satisfied.
Headed to Healthy Zone Jook Hyang because my friend had recommended it, and it was family style cooking. Well, it was true and it also meant poor service because it was family-owned. But it's not a big deal. I just wanted to enjoy the food. They also served a large variety of banchan, which I appreciated.
We ended up ordering ginseng chicken soup with fresh abalone, because we were deprived kids who missed Asian food and soup. It also proved to be no salt nor MSG added, because the soup was rather bland and salt was provided on a small dish so that we could decide how much salt to put in.

I believe a whole small chicken was used in the soup. It was also stuffed with some seasoned glutinous rice, which made us very happy because glutinous rice is hard to come by in Los Angeles.
