My photo doesn't really do justice. The omelette looked much better in real life!

While I was staying in Suwon my host, Hui and I went to the COEX shopping centre in Seoul for dinner. It is a big place. Really big. After an hour on the bus and a subway transfer we arrived at 6:30m very hungry. We walked round for five minutes before we started seriously looking for something to eat. Dr Kim has taken us out for a few different lunches and they’ve always been good, so we were happy for him to choose!

He recommended an omelette restaurant called Omuto Tomato.  We queued outside for a few minutes before we went in and I decided I would have the Thai Stir Fry omelette. It was featured on a giant poster and it looked good. Unfortunately when we came to order I was informed it was a lunchtime only item (why?!) so I picked the shrimp omelette. A few of the drinks and other dishes were out of stock too but  we were probably just unlikely.

When my omelette arrived and I cut into it, I was surprised to find it was stuffed with rice! In hindsight this shouldn’t have been completely unexpected. Koreans like to take “western” food and Korean-ise it. Often it works very well and this was no exception. I have had noodles with steak at an Italian restaurant and it was also tasty.
