BBQ CHICKEN Myeong-dong Star's signature dish is the Golden Olive Fried Chicken, which is fried in savory olive oil. The crispy batter and tender, savory meat are excellent. Patrons have other option to yangnyeom chicken (seasoned fried chicken), basak garlic chicken, or half and half. Ordering chicken legs and wings by cut is also a favorite. The best combination is with a cold beer.

Registered as a Historic Site, Deoksugung Palace was initially not a royal palace, but the residential home of Grand Prince Wolsan (1454-1488), the older brother of King Seongjong (1469-1494) of the Joseon dynasty. It wasn't until 1593 that the palace was used as a temporary palace of the royal family after their home was burned down during the Imjin War. King Seonjo also stayed at Deoksugung Palace after returning to the city. It became a proper palace when Gwanghaegun (1575-1641) ascended to the throne and gave this royal residence the name Gyeongungung Palace in 1611. Over the following decades, the palace alternated between being an official palace and a temporary residence. The name did not change officially to Deoksugung Palace, meaning the “palace of virtuous longevity,” until 1907. While the palace once encompassed a vast area with many buildings, the current palace grounds are just a small shadow of the prior splendor, with very few structures remaining.
