# Ninano in Jeonpo: the clams were so good that I added the pasta

> I went alone at opening time, once dental anesthesia had mostly worn off. I ordered the basil clam pasta without noodles, then added them.

At about 2 on a Thursday afternoon I had gum treatment at a dentist near Seomyeon. I left with my lower jaw numb, and I was hungry. I waited for the anesthesia to wear off at a cafe a friend had told me about, and when the feeling had mostly come back I went to Ninano. I walked in at 5, when it opens.

This time I was alone. Before this I came [once in March with friends](/en/blog/jeonpo-ninano-20260328/). I remember many people waiting then.

I wanted clams, so I chose the basil clam pasta. Being alone, I did not think I could eat much, so at first I ordered it without the noodles. I had soju with it.

I liked the clams. So I added the noodles. When you add them, they take the plate you were eating from, stir-fry it with the noodles, and bring it back.

I also got the impression that they carry many kinds of drinks. I recommend it to anyone looking for a place to drink in Jeonpo. I wrote the price down as 24,000 won.
