That's right

10

Do you usually like noodles like this?

11
00:00:13.325 --> 00:00:14.875

13
00:00:15.425 --> 00:00:16.725
- Ah, it's similar to kalguksu 
- Yes, kalguksu

14
00:00:16.925 --> 00:00:18.675

Well-organized and actually

20
00:00:26.375 --> 00:00:28.175

00:01:00.524 --> 00:01:01.574
- Take it out 
- Oh, that's right

It might be a bit spicy

87
00:01:44.974 --> 00:01:46.574
You can dip it in the soup

88
00:01:46.824 --> 00:01:48.024
or eat it separately as a side

89
00:01:48.024 --> 00:01:49.374
So, what's your first impression?

90
00:01:49.374 --> 00:01:50.724
It looks much more

00:01:50.724 --> 00:01:52.324
abundant than just the soup

92
00:01:52.324 --> 00:01:53.724
- It has cucumber in it 
- The ingredients are kind of

How is it compared to that?

130

00:02:42.323 --> 00:02:43.073
a little less

for lunch or dinner

194
00:03:45.772 --> 00:03:47.122
Then these noodles are a bit thick

195
00:03:47.122 --> 00:03:48.572
and has a chewy texture

196
00:03:49.072 --> 00:03:50.372
So you should eat these for dinner or lunch

197
00:03:50.572 --> 00:03:51.422
They are a bit heavy for breakfast

198
00:03:51.422 --> 00:03:51.922
That's right

199
00:03:51.922 --> 00:03:53.072
Kalguksu in the morning is a bit

200
00:03:53.072 --> 00:03:53.572
heavy, I think

201
00:03:54.572 --> 00:03:56.172
Flour feels a bit heavy in the morning

202
00:03:56.172 --> 00:03:57.372
I have rice noodles in the morning

203
00:03:57.372 --> 00:03:58.072
That's why I like them

204
00:03:58.572 --> 00:03:59.422
Among rice noodles

205
00:03:59.772 --> 00:04:00.272
thin noodles

206
00:04:00.272 --> 00:04:00.822
The thin ones

207
00:04:00.822 --> 00:04:01.922
This, we actually

208
00:04:02.622 --> 00:04:03.672
can call it Chinese-style knife-cut noodles

209
00:04:03.672 --> 00:04:04.522
We could name it that

210
00:04:04.522 --> 00:04:05.672
When we say Dosak noodle

211
00:04:05.872 --> 00:04:06.722
The 'Do' actually means knife

212
00:04:06.722 --> 00:04:07.222
Right

213
00:04:07.222 --> 00:04:08.772
If you trace the origin of knife-cut noodles

214
00:04:08.922 --> 00:04:09.422
Won't there

215
00:04:09.622 --> 00:04:11.172
be other overlapping parts?

216
00:04:11.172 --> 00:04:11.822
[Similar]

217
00:04:11.822 --> 00:04:13.322
Ah, as I keep eating, it's tasty

218
00:04:13.322 --> 00:04:15.072
This might be the charm of slightly thick noodles

219
00:04:15.672 --> 00:04:17.372
Thin ones, you can almost just swallow without chewing

220
00:04:17.572 --> 00:04:18.272
Because they just slide in

221
00:04:18.672 --> 00:04:20.222
It's hard to feel the taste of the noodles

222
00:04:20.572 --> 00:04:21.272
For slightly thick noodles

223
00:04:21.272 --> 00:04:22.422
Especially in a place like this

224
00:04:22.422 --> 00:04:23.722
They’re thick

225
00:04:24.072 --> 00:04:25.022
and also have nice texture

226
00:04:25.772 --> 00:04:26.922
So we need to chew more

227
00:04:26.922 --> 00:04:28.372
and that’s where the charm lies

228
00:04:28.372 --> 00:04:28.922
And

229
00:04:29.272 --> 00:04:30.472
I think a big charm is

230
00:04:30.872 --> 00:04:31.372
It has

231
00:04:31.372 --> 00:04:33.322
irregular shape

232
00:04:33.322 --> 00:04:34.272
Even thick noodles

233
00:04:34.572 --> 00:04:35.422
There are uniformly

234
00:04:35.422 --> 00:04:36.022
thick noodles

235
00:04:36.222 --> 00:04:37.022
like udon

236
00:04:37.022 --> 00:04:37.872
I prefer these over those

237
00:04:37.872 --> 00:04:39.422
Only when they are irregular

238
00:04:39.422 --> 00:04:40.372
When they're irregular

239
00:04:40.372 --> 00:04:41.622
the texture is more diverse

240
00:04:41.772 --> 00:04:42.622
[Agree]

241
00:04:42.622 --> 00:04:44.072
Hey, whenever I come to these restaurants

242
00:04:44.072 --> 00:04:44.722
What I feel is really..

243
00:04:44.722 --> 00:04:45.222
It’s that

244
00:04:45.422 --> 00:04:46.522
even if there's

245
00:04:46.722 --> 00:04:47.222
an English menu

246
00:04:47.222 --> 00:04:48.121
[It's nice to have it, but]

247
00:04:48.121 --> 00:04:49.121
We can read it

248
00:04:49.121 --> 00:04:50.871
But often the staff can't understand it

249
00:04:50.871 --> 00:04:51.971
You have lived that life

250
00:04:52.421 --> 00:04:54.571
Right, the range of restaurants you can visit changes

251
00:04:55.171 --> 00:04:55.671
First of all

252
00:04:55.671 --> 00:04:56.621
If you can't speak Cantonese

253
00:04:56.621 --> 00:04:57.621
[Limitation]

254
00:04:57.621 --> 00:04:59.121
There are too many local places you can't go to

255
00:04:59.121 --> 00:05:00.821
The most difficult place is a dim sum place

256
00:05:00.821 --> 00:05:01.421
Dim sum place

257
00:05:01.421 --> 00:05:02.521
When you go to a local place

258
00:05:02.521 --> 00:05:03.521
If you order something or do something

259
00:05:03.871 --> 00:05:05.221
It's all in Chinese

260
00:05:05.221 --> 00:05:06.421
[Lack of English]

261
00:05:06.421 --> 00:05:07.621
As soon as you go for the first time

262
00:05:07.621 --> 00:05:08.971
They ask what tea you'll have

263
00:05:08.971 --> 00:05:10.171
- Right*2 
- From there, you can't understand..

264
00:05:10.171 --> 00:05:10.921
- I can't understand 
- Right

265
00:05:10.921 --> 00:05:12.671
So you end up not going there, right?

266
00:05:12.821 --> 00:05:13.671
That's right, I don't go

267
00:05:13.671 --> 00:05:15.471
Because ordering is too hard every time

268
00:05:15.471 --> 00:05:16.121
But now

269
00:05:16.321 --> 00:05:16.821
little by little

270
00:05:17.321 --> 00:05:18.121
After learning

271
00:05:18.121 --> 00:05:19.171
If I recognize

272
00:05:19.821 --> 00:05:20.921
the menu I eat

273
00:05:20.921 --> 00:05:22.321
The range of places I can go widens

274
00:05:22.321 --> 00:05:22.821
Right

275
00:05:22.821 --> 00:05:24.621
So as we lived here, we realized

276
00:05:24.971 --> 00:05:26.171
among the really delicious places

277
00:05:26.171 --> 00:05:27.421
there are really many of such restaurants

278
00:05:27.971 --> 00:05:29.071
Completely local

279
00:05:29.071 --> 00:05:30.171
Only Cantonese

280
00:05:30.521 --> 00:05:31.871
and the prices there are actually much more

281
00:05:31.871 --> 00:05:32.671
[Reasonable]

282
00:05:32.671 --> 00:05:33.471
often cheaper

283
00:05:33.471 --> 00:05:35.271
If you're thinking of living in Hong Kong for a long time

284
00:05:35.571 --> 00:05:36.521
Learning a bit of Cantonese

285
00:05:36.821 --> 00:05:38.521
might not be a bad choice

286
00:05:38.521 --> 00:05:40.121
To fully enjoy Hong Kong food

287
00:05:40.271 --> 00:05:41.271
It seems essential

288
00:05:41.271 --> 00:05:41.871
Cantonese?

289
00:05:41.871 --> 00:05:42.571
Not a choice

290
00:05:42.571 --> 00:05:43.921
As I keep eating the soup

291
00:05:44.671 --> 00:05:45.721
It tastes a bit sweet

292
00:05:45.721 --> 00:05:46.271
Or as I

293
00:05:46.271 --> 00:05:47.621
keep eating noodles

294
00:05:48.271 --> 00:05:49.071
Is it because it's carbs?

295
00:05:49.071 --> 00:05:50.921
- When you chew the noodles, they feel sweet 
- Right?

296
00:05:50.921 --> 00:05:51.571
[Interesting]

297
00:05:51.571 --> 00:05:52.471
Because I've chewed so much

298
00:05:52.471 --> 00:05:53.621
Maybe that's why I feel a bit of sweetness?

299
00:05:53.621 --> 00:05:55.471
Because at first, I didn't feel this taste

300
00:05:55.471 --> 00:05:56.321
[Taste changes]

301
00:05:56.321 --> 00:05:57.271
Oh, indeed a local

302
00:05:57.771 --> 00:05:59.521
You definitely have to carry clinex around

303
00:05:59.521 --> 00:06:00.521
For me, even

304
00:06:00.521 --> 00:06:01.771
a single packet isn't enough

305
00:06:02.271 --> 00:06:02.971
Two packs, three packs..

306
00:06:03.171 --> 00:06:04.121
70 percent

307
00:06:04.671 --> 00:06:05.321
I think I barely got to eat that much

308
00:06:05.321 --> 00:06:05.871
So

309
00:06:06.321 --> 00:06:08.021
I also barely managed to finish it

310
00:06:08.021 --> 00:06:09.571
I feel really full

311
00:06:09.571 --> 00:06:10.620
In fact, among noodle places

312
00:06:10.620 --> 00:06:12.570
there are many places where eating like this doesn't fill you up

313
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:13.670
Because the portion is small

314
00:06:13.670 --> 00:06:14.370
[Satisfied]

315
00:06:14.370 --> 00:06:15.570
In that sense, I think it's a pass

316
00:06:15.570 --> 00:06:17.020
The price is 190..

317
00:06:17.020 --> 00:06:18.270
[33,000 KRW]
... It came out to 192 dollars

318
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:20.170
Considering one side dish

319
00:06:20.170 --> 00:06:21.020
was ordered

320
00:06:21.020 --> 00:06:21.970
Even taking that into account

321
00:06:21.970 --> 00:06:23.420
[Noodles alone 13,000 KRW per person] 
It's a bit expensive for noodles, actually

322
00:06:23.420 --> 00:06:24.020
Well, in any case

323
00:06:24.520 --> 00:06:25.970
If you want to try

324
00:06:25.970 --> 00:06:26.870
Chinese-style knife-cut noodles

325
00:06:27.320 --> 00:06:28.370
This is the right place to come

326
00:06:28.370 --> 00:06:29.370
So next time

327
00:06:29.370 --> 00:06:30.570
We'll find a tastier place

328
00:06:30.970 --> 00:06:31.920
and visit on a gourmet trip

329
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:33.270
And come back

330
00:06:33.820 --> 00:06:34.320
Joikin

331

HKL's 3-line review 〈拾味山西刀削麵館〉

00:06:38.070 --> 00:06:40.070
1. If you miss the taste of knife-cut noodles

333
00:06:40.070 --> 00:06:42.070
2. The chewy texture of the noodles

334
00:06:42.070 --> 00:06:44.070
3. A very quiet restaurant
