Dongpo pork char siu ramen at Menya Seoul Lotte Department Store Incheon Branch

🍳 Menya Seoul, an Incheon Lotte Department Store restaurant 🍳

MENYA SEOUL

Dongpo pork char siu ramen | Menya Seoul

On those days when you want mala tang, Japanese ramen, and coriander all at once, Menya Seoul satisfies every craving in one go 😆😆😆

One day I saw a huge line at Taste Park in Yongsan I'Park Mall and it turned out to be Menya Seoul! The ramen served with lamb skewers back then was impressive and so delicious that I thought I'd have to eat it again — and then Menya Seoul opened at Incheon Lotte Department Store too?!

So last spring I ate there happily with my boyfriend... and then suddenly I wanted it again so badly!!!!!! An Incheon Lotte Department Store restaurant I visited solo — Menya Seoul, great for eating alone.

I got so excited seeing the visuals I basically broke down..

How much coriander arrives when you ask for lots?

The coriander volume is insane!!! hahahahahaha I asked for a lot of coriander! I honestly think the whole reason people eat mala is for the coriander?

Coriander's distinct scent cuts through the richness of the food and adds depth, so the combo with dongpo pork is insane 🌿🌱

And did you all know about #CorianderBenefits — its antioxidant function! Coriander contains vitamin C, vitamin A-family compounds, and various plant-based antioxidants that can help reduce oxidative stress!

On top of that, coriander contains nutrients like vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium. The great thing is that even a small amount added to food gives you both flavor and nutrients ‼️

How were the ajitamago egg and the dongpo pork?

Ah, look at this egg ㅠㅠㅠㅠ its full name is #Ajitamago

🍳 What Ajitamago means — Ajitamago (味玉 / あじたまご) refers to a Japanese-style soft-boiled egg marinated in soy sauce seasoning. 'Aji (味)' means flavor, and 'tamago (玉子)' means egg, so literally it means 'flavored egg'!!

It's usually made by soaking a soft-boiled egg in a sauce mixed with soy sauce, mirin, sugar or cooking wine, so the white ends up salty and umami-rich while the yolk stays moist and soft. 🍳✨ If you usually like gamdongnan or soft-boiled eggs, you'll obviously love Menya Seoul's ajitamago!

The dongpo pork was so soft it literally melted and disappeared in my mouth!!!!

And truly delicious ramen = Menya Seoul 🩷🩷

Menya Seoul's ramen with its chewy, springy texture is a masterpiece!!!!! The mala broth flavor is insane too — it feels like a Japanese ramen taste layered on top of mala tang flavor!?!
