The last official week of summer has shown no signs of easing up on the heat. With city temperatures often in the 90’s, Angelenos are looking for any way to escape the blistering sun. Many look for external methods of cooling off: jumping in the pool, turning up the AC, standing in front of the freezer. But for those more adept at finding a cool relief know that we should be working from the inside out. And what better place to start than with our stomachs? Naeng myun, a typical dish in Korea, is often served on the hot and humid days of summer. The thin, cold noodles slurped up from an icy cold broth provide a most satisfying sensation of coolness as they are being quickly ingested. For those wary of how tasty a cold noodle dish can be, let me assure you that naeng myun is one dish that is better served in a bowl of ice than a bowl steam. Although it can be eaten both ways, you will almost always, if not always, find the cold variety in the myriad of Korean restaurants in Koreatown. Sometimes, it will be served without a broth, other times you’ll have a choice of different noodle types. The constant is the cool temperature of this dish. Both a delicious and refreshing treat, naeng myun is the perfect thing to order on these hot summer days for those living and/or frequenting the LA area. The Los Angeles Times writes more about this popular Korean meal.

Shaved ice adds just the right frost factor to mul naeng myun, with thinly sliced beef, pickled cucumber, radish and buckwheat noodles.
Who else is talking about urban living in California?
Koalas are a type of bear. Toilets flush in the opposite direction in the Southern Hemisphere. Green developments are more costly to build than standard ones.
What do all these statements have in common?
They’re all fictitious. Koalas are marsupials; water in toilets and sinks do not drain in the opposite direction in different hemispheres; and lastly, building a green structure does not cost more than a non-green structure. Don’t believe me? Tim Kauffman’s article in the Federal Times should make all those nagging doubts disappear.
