Geumjungtang - Chicken abalone hotpot soup at Jihwaja restaurant[/caption]
Korean Royal Court Cuisine ( 궁중음식 Gungjung Eumsik) meal that was reconstructed from the actual banquet menu for Queen mother of King Jeongjo at her 60th birthday party which was actually in 1795. That was what I was treated to - at Jihwaja 지화자 - during my most recent visit to Seoul.
Back in 2016, I wrote a post about my visit to Jihwaja with my friend Insook. It was the first time I was treated to a full Korean royal court cuisine meal and I was so impressed that I wrote a long post about it. Well, few months ago, Mr. Hwang who is the director of the restaurant, sent me email to let me know how much they appreciated my post and how it was bringing many foreigners to their Jihwaja restaurant. YAY!!! Always so happy to hear that my posts bring guests!! And he was also so kind enough to extend an invitation for me to be their guest the next time I was in Seoul!!
