Naver Blog @jjy960612
There is a restaurant where you can eat proper Korean food at the Transportation Center of Incheon Airport Terminal 1, level B1. The restaurant is called Yeon Deul, operating under the slogan of creating healthy Korean meals made from nature’s goodness. There are popular dishes such as kimchi stew and soondubu (soft tofu stew), but the one dish that is hard to find elsewhere is the abalone samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup).
Samgyetang is the most representative health food in Korea. On top of that, this restaurant adds abalone, also called the ginseng of the sea! Chicken helps keep your body warm while abalone is good for fighting fatigue. A bowl of this and you’ll be able to have a healthy and energetic trip with nothing getting you down!
The abalone samgyetang at Yeon Deul is light on the seasonings, highlighting the natural deep and healthy flavors. They also offer Korean side dishes such as tteokbokki and pancakes that you can fill up yourself. Restore your mind and body with some abalone samgyetang before your trip!

100 Year Old Store’s Saejip Chueotang: Enjoy loach soup which is great for your skin and eyes
Whilst traveling, sightseeing, taking pictures, and making memories is a must! This is why we recommend eating food that’s good for your skin and eye health before your trip. To give your skin a boost and your eyes clear vision, you should grab a bowl of chueotang (loach soup) which is known to be good for exactly those things!
In the general area on the first floor of Incheon Airport Terminal 2, there is a unique place called the 100 Year Old Store that sells meal kits. Meals from famous restaurants across the country are captured into convenient ready-to-make kits. You can not only buy these meal kits at this store, but you can heat them up as well to enjoy on the spot. Buying a few extra kits for your trip may also be a good idea for those who start craving Korean food in foreign countries.
Among all the restaurants, we particularly recommend Saejip Chueotang, the representative chueotang restaurant in the Namwon area! The soup is boiled up and then served in an earthen pot. This dish is good for rejuvenation and boosters necessary for traveling! Have a fun-filled trip with chueotang from the 100 Year Old Store.☺
