The Pyongyang Naengmyeon from Joong San

Pyongyang Naengmyeon

Something occurred to me when walking through Singapore's blazing heat in the past week: I had yet to try the naengmyeon at Joong San, even though I've been there more than a handful of times. I thus got the Pyongyang version above, and I was quite happy with it. It was all about the subtle taste of the beef coming through in the broth. The sliced beef itself was similarly delicate, as were those textured buckwheat noodles. They still gave their usual array of banchan and rice, including that killer sesame oil, which just makes me like this place so much, especially since it's so healthy too. Sadly, the gomtang is no longer on the menu though.
