Korean Summer food 'Naengmyeon' | Halmeoni Naengmyeon in Cheongnyangni, Seoul

 

Pyongyang Naengmyeon(cold noodles) became a symbol of peace at the South and North Korea summit. I thought that I should eat Naengmyeon after seeing that. At this time, the delicious  Naengmyeon that came up in my head are wonderfully Halmeoni Naengmyeon 할머니 냉면 that I had eaten in Cheongnyangni a few years ago.

 

It is spicy Naengmyeon, but the deep taste of broth is excellent. I don't know who put the word '3 cold noodles of Seoul' but Halmeoni Naengmyeon is one of the most delicious cold noodles in my oppinion.

Halmeoni Naengmyeon are located in Seoul Cheongyangni Fruits and vegetables Wholesale Market. It looks like Halmeoni Naengmyeon hasn't changed even though I found the restaurant in a few years. Late, but many people are eating noodles.

 

The menu of Halmeoni Naengmyeon is simple. The price is 5000 won for Naengmyeon, 6000 won for double Naengmyeon, and 2,000 won for extra noodles. Unless you are particularly hungry because there are so many sheep, it will be enough for you to eat regular Naengmyeon.

 

Beef broth is a highlight of Halmeoni Naengmyeon. Broth is the beginning and end of the Halmeoni Naengmyeon. Cold broth is bottled and Hot broth is self-service.

 

This is cold broth. I drink cold broth with ice in the cup. After drink a half broth, you can pour the other half in the remaining Naengmyeon. And it will become Mul-Naengmyeon(Water Cold

noodles). 

 

Please enjoy hot broth, too. I liked hot broth more than cold broth. You can drink hot broth in the middle of eating Naengmyeon. It is good to put it in advance.

 

 

I have double Halmeoni Naengmyeon. Caution! The red sauce on the Halmeoni Naengmyeon is really spicy even for Korean. Halmeoni Naengmyeon are spicy cold noodles originally. So do not rub

all the sauce. Leave it over half and rub it with tasting. It is not spicy at the moment of eating but you will feel spicy taste after eating it a bit. Please be careful.

 

 

Cucumber is abundant on the Naengmyeon surface. If you don't take cucumber, Naengmyeon will be very slim. Radish is also contained in the Halmeoni Naengmyeon.

Cut the Naengmyeon one time with scissors and rub well all ingredient. Egges on Naengmyeon are well boiled.

When you first eat Halmeoni Naengmyeon, you may feel that there is no big difference from other Naengmyeons. If you put a lot of red seasonings, you may feel a sense of spicy. And Noodles

of Halmeoni Naengmyeon are not unique or sophisticated. 

 

So why is Halmeoni Naengmyeon delicious and long remembered? The answer is that the beef broth are in the right place.

 

It is difficult to know if you eat Halmeoni Naengmyeon just a bit. Like the spicy taste that comes up late, the taste of the broth also comes up one beat late. You can think that it is just cold noodles. When you move the chopsticks in such a way, the deep flavor will begin to accumulate a little bit from deep inside of you.

It is about the time deep flavor explode when almost all of the Naengmyeon are eaten. When you eat the last noodles of Naengmyeon, you will know why Halmeoni Naengmyeon is delicious  Naengmyeon. It's as if I had seen a movie that was ordinary at first but reversed at last.

 

Halmeoni Naengmyeon that I had eaten for a long time were still tasty, spicy and refreshing. I thought that Cheongnyangni was far from my house. But Idon't think it is far now. It's summer

now.  I will go to the Han River for a walk and then I'll go to Halmeoni Naengmyeon again.
