[Recommended Food in Malli-dong, Seoul Station] Yuzu Ramen and Very Street Kitchen

There are many famous restaurants around Seoul Station. In this post, we will recommend 2 restaurants in Malli-dong.

#1 Yuzu Ramen

Yuzu Ramen' is a Japanese ramen restaurant famous for shio ramen. They open every day during lunch and dinner but is closed at 3-5pm for break time.

The restaurant is designed in Japanese bar-type seats and decorated with various vintage items.

You have to order the food at the kiosk found near the entrance, and then take a seat.

The restaurant makes theirs own noodles every day, and you will find that the texture of the noodles are more chewy. In addition, you can add on noodles for free.

We added chashu in the Spicy Yuzu Shoyu Ramen. The ramen consists of noodles, soft boiled egg, rucola, chashu, bamboo shoots and seaweed. The soup is just a little spicy so don't worry too much if you can't eat too spicy food.

Chashu is thick and tender, with a proper combination of fats and lean meat,. The noodles are slightly thicker than the normal ramen noodles. When you feel that the taste is a little heavy after eating the noodles, meat or soup, try eating the rucola to get a refreshing taste.

For ramen lovers, give Yuzu Ramen a try when you come to Seoul Station.

We ordered the Barcelona Gambas al Ajillo (Spanish garlic shrimp). Dip a baguette in olive oil with garlic flavor and eat it together with the shrimp. :)

Seoul sirloin risotto is a risotto that comes together with meat in soy sauce, on top of the cream-based sauce. The risotto's cream and meat's soy sauce blend pretty well.

[AREX 999] Renewed Express Train Ticketing Machines and How to Use Them

Greeting from AREX :)

I will tell you about the renewed Express train ticketing machines and express trains you can take to quickly and easily go from the airport to the middle of the city.

Using the New Express Train Ticket Machines

The ticketing machines for the express trains has been updated. Now it will be easier to use and more user-friendly for both residents and travelers alike.

You can easily purchase a ticket and receive discounts in four languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

Using the machines is simple.

After choosing your language, select your destination.

If by chance you do not know where you are going or just want to look at the train map, you can check by clicking the metropolitan city train map and find your destination a little more easily.

3

Next, while selecting your train, it is easier than ever before to confirm the departure and line numbers.

Further, you previously could only select the train and number of passengers. However, now with the new ticketing machines its possible to choose the forward-facing and reverse-facing seats.

Also, you can view in real time the availability of seats and wheelchair seats to plan more comfortably.

A huge advantage of the renewed ticking machines is that now you can receive discounts before your purchase.

Before, passengers would have to visit the information desk and follow the directions of the worker there.  However, now that’s no longer a problem and it can all be done at the ticketing machine.
