Forget Seoul Best Naengmyeon (Cold Noodle). This is a Real Naengmyeon.

It is getting to start crowded at most famous and well-known Naengmyeon (cold noodle) restaurant in summer which you should bear in your mind waiting for sometimes on long queue before you move, despite you go there early at 11:30, about half an hour earlier than opening time at noon. Myeonplainer (nickname as Noodle Explainer) usually said “If you take cold Naengmyeon in winter sitting at warm floor heating room under clod outside, you could take an opportunity to appreciate real Naengmyeon’s mental and physical taste as well as going well with particular mood or atmosphere, taking cold noodle under cold weather. While if you take Naengmyeon at hot summer, you could not appreciate such a real unique Naengmyeon taste and atmosphere and only enjoy physical taste, making mouth and tongue happy, I could say these people are foolish and spend money for nothing”. But it is realistic situation that owner of Naengmyeon restaurant have been unusually making money in summer rather than cold winter since most people naturally feel thirsty for clod foods, Naengmyeon whenever they are tired of hot weather in summer.

There are two type of Naengmyeon, the one Pyeongyang Naengmyeon the other Hamheung Naengmyeon which is widely and generally known to many people. Pyeongyang Naengmyeon is made with well reached beef flavor broth, almost iced and topping with almost plain laddish Kimchi or cucumber Kimchi and half piece of boiled egg and one of two piece of sliced boiled beef. While Hamheung Naengmyeon is Bibim Naengmyeon mixing with boiled and cooled Naengmyeon noodles with seasoned hot spicy ingredients without broth and topping with the same as Naengmyeon as above. They will separately serving warm or cold broth depend on individual hobby. Meanwhile when they prepare Naengmyeon both, they would normally good quality of beef. But they could use other meat like pheasant or chicken or pork depending on local conditions. We are introducing best four Naengmyeon Restaurant in Korea which are more than 30 years old and still running by old seniors. Its price per bowl is less than KRW 10,000- which we could say reasonable price.

1.    Seoul Buwon Myeonok Restaurant– Boiled and Sliced Pork with Unique Season

There is old Naengmyeon Restaurant running more than 60 years at middle of Namdaemun Market where you could readily see many cloth shops around. They are selling Naengmyeon KRW 7.5000 per bowl which looks comparably lower at well-known Naengmyeon social restaurant than other specialized Naengmyeon Restaurant. It is the most important points that owner of Buwon Myeonok Restaurant is not only extending to next generation but also regular customers also extending to their next generation. There are some misunderstanding rumor Buwon Myeonok is making broth with pork. It is not correct. They prepare broth with high quality beep and leg born and topping with boiled and sliced pork when they are serving. They add some park when they boil which would give particular mixed broth taste. They will use this pork for topping with seasons. They are selling other particular side menu as Bindaedoek (mung bean pan cake) which cooked with pork fat and will give you mung bean flavor rich. Price is KRW 3,000 per piece. There is special menu, calling as special Naengmyeon adding some more seasoned sliced pork piece against paying extra KRW 1,500.

2.  2. Gyeonggi Yangju Pyeongyang Myeonok : Richness of Pheasant Broth

There is Pyeongyang Myeonok at Songchu Valley where meets with Gongneungcheon Stream at North West of Bukhansan Mountain. There are other Pyeongyang Myeonok in Seoul Jangchung Dong and Uijeongbu City. They used to call Songchu Pyeongyang Myeonok different from others. If we talk about transportation to this restaurant, they are located at suburb which is somewhat inconvenience. But there is an enough reason why people like to come to visit this restaurant since they this restaurant is using unique pheasant broth. It is quite seldom we could find Naengmyeon Restaurant using pheasant. Therefore many missing hometown people escaping from North Korea and settling at South Korea are visiting this restaurant for taking care of homesick with North Korean style Naengmyeon with pheasant.

This restaurant has been founded by North Korean, Mr. Kim in 1980 and presently running by their son. They are also making hard effort to prepare excellent broth firstly boiling with cow front leg and brisket and later adding pheasant born and meat and secondly boiling again. They sometimes serve with mixed broth with Kimchi liquid in summer in order to upgrade the broth taste. They also very carefully take care of Naengmyeon noodle which makes with buckwheat just one day before serving in order to maximize buckwheat flavor at the noodle, less flavor losing according to times. When you drink one full mouth of the broth, you could readily feel deeper broth taste than ordinary broth at other Naengmyeon Restaurants, especially particular and enriched a bit sour pheasant taste. Other menus are available like North Korean Style Chicken Soup KRW 28,000, Nokdujigim (mung bean pancake) KRW 8,000 and handmade dumpling KRW 8,000.

3.  Gunsan Pbopai Naengmyeon : secrete dark black Color Broth

When they serve, they will topping with boiled few chicken breast and 2 or 3 pieces of sliced pork which they used for making special and unique broth. It is key point how to make their broth; first sufficiently boiled cow leg born, secondly boiling with chicken breast for about 3 hours, lastly boiling with pork.

These are menu as Naengmyeon KRW 7,000 and Wongmandu (Big Dumpling) KRW 4,000.

4.  Jinju Iehyenodong Hayeonok Naengmyeon : Unique Add Seafood Looks likes Memil Soba (Japanese Cold Noodle)

5.   Detailed Hike Course Explanation.

      I have been several times hiking Gangwha Manisan Mountain through Gangwha National Tour Center which is located at North Manisan and never tried to take other course, Hamheo Dongcheon Course locating at South East Manisan. I decided to take this course and arrived at the Hamheo Dongcheon Parking Lot some minute before 10 o’clock in the morning and prepared to start the hike. As I walked for a while, I passed ticket booth paying entrance fee and kept walking some more and reached the Junction which was the way going to the same Manisan Summit through valley at left or ridge at right. I chose left road and kept walking easy concrete paved road for about 20 minutes from the parking lot and reached the junction between Manisan Summit at straight and 70m to Hamheojeong at right. I turned right at the junction and walked up the hill for about 5 minutes and found Hamheo Dongcheon Pavilion which was used for break or observation at old days. I went up the Hamheojeong and over looked West Sea which looks sound and beautiful scenery. I moved back to hike course and continued to walk the concrete paved road and saw nice scenery of white clouds running over Manisan Ridge and recorded it to the camera. As I walked this road for about 10 minutes more, I reached real hike starting area changing the concrete paved road to ordinary soil hike road and found great water stream completely frozen at left and shot the good scenery at good angle. I started to move on the real hike road and realized I had to walk steeper uphill. When I walked this road for about 10 minutes more, I reached Jungsusa Temple Junction; 1.6km to the Manisan Summit at right and Jungsusa Temple at left. I took a right direction at the junction and kept moving up through steeper rocky uphill for about half an hour and reached114 Stair Way connecting to the Jungsu Ridge which was built on very highly sloped uphill and hardly walking through the stairs. I reached the Jungsu Ridge Junction after one more half an hour walking on the stairs and looked down West Coast and small islands at the sea and could see lose bigger rocky road on the ridge leading to the Summit. I hardly walked this rocky and slippery road for about 20 minutes and found Jungsubi-Major Repair Monument of Chamseongdan and tried to read and understood its explanation. As I continued to walk this rocky ridge raid for 10 minutes, I finally touched down 472.1m Altitude Manisan Monument and looked around the Summit and saw Chamseongdan just at next close peak and moved there less than 10 minutes walking and learned or confirmed Chamseongdan is area for memorial service to Dangun, Korea National Founder as well as taking fire with convex lens on the Porch to National Sport Festival. There was a fantastic event dancing around the firing spot area with impressive dressing like at the photo. I fully looked around the Chamseongdan and Summit and descended through the same way as I ascended this morning and pleasantly enjoyed packed lunch box at good and proper area, sunny and no windy.
