4. 40 years of traditional Pyongyang cold noodles, 'Eulmildae'

Go to store information â–¶

A restaurant specializing in cold noodles with 40 years of tradition in Pyongyang, the most popular menu item is refreshing watercress made with ice. The broth, which is well-balanced without any impurities, and the noodles, which are rough and thick compared to other places, go well together. It's a good idea to note that if you ask for “cold water” when ordering, they'll give you a broth without ice. Also, if you ask for a “large amount,” they will add more noodles and broth for the same price. Mung bean paste, which contains more meat than vegetables, makes the savory flavor of mung beans even more intense, is also a delicacy.

â–²Location: Ssangyong Platinum Value, 46, Teheran-ro 4-gil, Gangnam-gu â–²Business hours: 11:00-22:00 (L.O. 21:15) Closed for holidays

â–²Price range: Watercress noodles 11,000 won, mung bean paste 9,000 won

â–²Review (Narcisist Shikigami): Jizon of Pyongyang Naengmyeon, Gangnam Station branch of Eulmildae ~ Like Pyongyang cold noodles, the soup was also boring and had a thick flavor, and unlike Pyongyang Naengmyeon Okjip, the noodles were thick and chewy like udon, so each one would have a different personality.

5. Healthy bakery cafe, 'Seed's Bakery Cafe'
