LUNCH
Of late, I’ve transferred my MNM allegiance to Jinmi Pyeongyang Naeng Myeon (see most recently 9.294 Indubitably, the World’s Best MNM).
For lunch, I dropped by the previous standard bearer, Pyeongyang Myeonok (see most recently 8.157 The Best MNM in the World, Still), just to reconfirm.
Reconfirmed – Myeonok is still excellent, but falls short of Jinmi in depth of beef flavor in the broth, and toothsomeness of the noodles.
DINNER
If nobody else, I will always try to squeeze in a meal/drink with HSK, one of my best friends from high school (see most recently 9.013 Mul Naeng Myeon).
