The (Off-the-Menu?) Mul-Naengmyeon from Nanta

Mul Naengmyeon

I didn't realize this when I ordered it, but I think this was an off-the-menu item at Nanta, as their menu only lists the chicken-based one that I didn't like last time. Tonight, I sat down and just blindly asked for mul-naengmyeon without looking at the menu. And what I got was clearly different from the chogye naengmyeon, as the broth wasn't sweet, was topped with a hard-boiled egg (not to mention some tough meat), and featured straight up ice cubes in a warm-ish broth rather than the slushy stuff that one normally gets. I won't bother with it again, but I'm rather flattered if they really improvised to make that for me.
