Inside Salering Gyodae Direct Store

Walking in, the place had an overall clean and tidy feel. We went a bit past lunchtime so it looked pretty quiet, but I bet it gets packed at actual lunch hour haha.

Ordering at the kiosk: which dishes and how much

At Salering Gyodae Direct Store, you order through a kiosk. After slowly browsing the menu, we picked one rice bowl and one pasta. We were super hungry that day so we wanted to eat both haha

• Basil Garlic Chicken Breast Pasta — ₩11,900: A pasta dish with chicken breast in it, so I thought it'd work well as a diet meal. I was curious how the basil and garlic combination would taste.
• Rose Onion Whole Chicken Thigh Bowl — ₩12,500: A rice bowl with whole chicken thigh, so I picked it as something different from the pasta. I was also looking forward to the rose sauce and onion combo.

We took both dishes home to package. Now for the real taste test.
