Gwanghwamun Myeonok

💡 A good way to try Korean food with a child who struggles with heat. 💡 For a restaurant near the sights, the atmosphere is calm. It is fine if your child eats slowly or you arrive straight after a nap. 💡 Worth a stop after a day of walking. There is plenty here that settles the stomach — hot broth, dumplings, boiled pork.

💡 On a first visit it is safer to order dumplings alongside the cold noodles. Children often take to the dumplings more readily than the noodles. 💡 Ladle some naengmyeon broth out to cool and a child drinks it happily. It is mild and not strongly flavoured. 💡 Boiled pork works well as a side for a child. It is easy to set the meat aside, which makes it a safe family order.

💡Pyongyang naengmyeon is one of Korea's best-known traditional noodle dishes. 💡 It is mild, which makes it a good first Korean dish for visiting families. 💡 It offers a lighter, cleaner Korean meal than barbecue or fried chicken.
