It's not just a mall, it's the COEX Mall. According to Wikipedia it's the largest underground mall in Asia and a ten story department store standing above ground. What really amazed me was the 500 won Initial D Version 3 machine, but that's another story.
Omurice (a combination of the words omelette and rice) is a relatively recent food fad import from Japan. On one level, this is nothing new. I'm sure every Korean guy has subsisted on a diet of fried eggs and rice at some period in his life. However, the omurice takes this basic dish and adds various fillings, toppings, and sauces. How many variations? Well look below...
Perhaps you'd like yours with a seafood medley? How about a hamburger patty? Curry? Or perhaps a heart shaped "Couples Omurice?"
We split a hamburger omurice, though not at this restaurant. In short, it was oversauced, too sweet, and generally a disappointment. I like my version better - fried eggs with American cheese and a few slices of Spam. Lots of rice (preferably cold for me), and no sauce.
