Food Enjoyed with the 'Inaengchinaeng' Spirit

We Have Electric Heating Pads, After All

When it's hot, we cool down with hot soup (Iyeolchihyeol), so in winter, we should manage the cold with cool and cold foods. If you drink beverages with ice in your hands even in the freezing cold winter or welcome winter by taking off your socks rather than wearing Heattech, you will relate to this. That's right. Winter should be colder and cooler. That way, the warmth inside the blanket will feel even cozier.

Naengmyeon (Cold Noodles)

People who only eat naengmyeon in summer are amateurs; those who eat it in winter are pros! Chewing on the ice cubes floating on top gives a bone-chilling feeling, but it also makes you feel relieved from heaviness. Both bibim naengmyeon (spicy mixed cold noodles) and mul naengmyeon (cold noodles in broth) are good, but pouring mul naengmyeon broth over spicy bibim naengmyeon lets you enjoy both spiciness and mildness at the same time. If it's too cold, you can drink a cup of warm broth and then dive back into the naengmyeon. The reason naengmyeon tastes better in winter than in summer is that you can feel the refreshing and cool taste more intensely.

Ice Cream

Is there any snack tastier than ice cream eaten in a warm room? Whether it's cup ice cream or popsicles, ice cream always occupies space in the freezer. Enjoying the coolness of ice cream in the hot summer is great, but enjoying that coolness inside the blanket is an equally delightful happiness. You can enjoy it as a snack tailored to your taste, such as sprinkling nuts or honey on top. Ice cream coated with cookies or cone ice cream is especially delicious, and sometimes Jjoojjuba (a Korean frozen treat) also becomes a good friend. After all, in winter, it's not Bungeoppang but Bungeo Ssamanco.

Cold Tangerines

Isn't tangerine the most popular fruit in winter? The thrill of biting into a cold tangerine while sitting on an electric blanket is unmatched! You have to be careful not to let the tangerines become lukewarm due to poor storage, as you won't be able to enjoy their natural sweetness and tanginess. Bring the tangerines you waited for while shivering on the balcony into a warm room and spend cozy time binge-watching TV dramas or movies. The bottom of the tangerine box will soon be empty. Especially, the vitamin C in tangerines has an antioxidant effect that protects cells from harmful oxygen and promotes smooth metabolism. It's the perfect seasonal fruit for the cold-prone season! However, as the saying goes, too much of anything is bad. Eating too many can cause indigestion or stomach upset, so keep that in mind.

Ice Americano

Eoljuka, gather here~ Indeed, coffee and drinks are best iced even in winter. The ice cubes floating on top convey both coolness and a sense of leisure. While hot Americano delivers a calm yet deep flavor, iced Americano exudes a unique liveliness and energy. It's also nice that as the ice melts, it becomes a milder Americano, and you can crunch on the remaining ice cubes. Perfect for an afternoon snack!
