"Once again, the strip malls of Santa Clara show their strength with another specialized restaurant, this one focused on the soul-fortifying chicken-ginseng soup known as samgyetang, each bowl of which includes an entire Cornish hen, cooked to falling-apart tenderness, plus whole garlic cloves, rice, and assorted medicinal roots and herbs. A steaming bowl of the stuff hits the spot on cold night, though traditionally, Koreans are known to seek it out on the very hottest days of the year — the better to restore all the nutrients your body has sweated off." - Luke Tsai
