(China, Shanghai) Hello
This is Shanghai Lunch
Yes, if we come to Shanghai
Of course, xiaolongbao is
-something we must try at least once, right? -Right
I'd feel disappointed if I didn't eat it before leaving
That's right
I feel like I must try it before leaving
Exactly, so
on the day of our departure
we came to eat xiaolongbao
Just like the other places
we looked it up on an app
It turns out this place is quite a famous restaurant
So
over 7,000 people
gave it 4.3 stars
I wanted to see how delicious it is
Let's have a go
We are planning to taste it
Right
You can't avoid coming to places like this in Hong Kong either
Actually, this is a chain store
Even though it's a chain restaurant
Yes.. we decided to come here
(Seated) Even though it's a bit late
there are a lot of people
It's almost 2 o'clock now
Now, from this QR code
if we take a look
There might be a cheaper set
that they are offering
So we'll try it
A set for two
..the original price is
220
...1 dollars, but
159 dollars
Like so
They recommend a few dishes
that many people enjoy
But
we shouldn't order this set
(???)
It's that set again
-Crab meat set -Ah
It's a greasy set -Crab meat spring rolls
Some fried food
Crab meat something
That xiaolongbao
Everything is like that again
It's a crab meat set
It's too greasy for us
We will be skipping that
We'll skip that
Then
We won't order the set
We'll just go with a la carte
-We'll do that -Yeah, I think that's better
Since we order through the app
right away
As soon as we come in and sit down
we scan the menu with a QR code
and pay right there
Usually, when leaving
you have to pay separately in Korea
It's the same in Hong Kong
Since that process is gone
it's much more convenient to use
which is very attractive
I think all restaurants
in China do this, not just one or two
Now, this is the first dish
that came out
The visual is a bit..
It could be like that
This is it
Duck blood
and on top of it
there's a lot of cilantro
It's very plentiful
For Koreans
it's something they would never eat
You could say it's a dish they can't eat
Yes, it's out right away
You can eat this
This is just seaweed
This visual is very familiar
so it feels a bit friendly
Like stir-fried seaweed
-Because we eat it a lot in Korea -Right
It tastes the same
(Similar to stir-fried seaweed)
A bit sweet
I really like this duck liver (duck blood)
You know I really like it
But
I always eat it with mala sauce
Like this
Eating it without any sauce
is a first time for me
What does it taste like and why do you eat it?
Um
(Hesitant)
This is a bit fishy
Because it doesn't have the mala flavor
(Completely fishy taste)
Just try it once
Do I really have to try this?
(Frightened)
Even mala is fishy for me
(Biggest crisis ever)
(You can tell from his face)
It's really fishy, right?
Aren't you exaggerating?
I didn't breathe, seriously, no joke
Because it's too fishy
Put it in... immediately after eating
Ah, it's really fishy
(Busy kitchen)
Yes, this is the
main character here, you could say?
The crab meat here, actually
this
is what it's famous for
(Preparation for fusion)
I'll pour it in
(Without leaving anything)
It seems like there's more quantity
This is vinegar
You can add a little
And then
The xiaolongbao just came out
And
the pork
cutlet came out
Wow, it's too much
Look at our table
What is this?
We ate this dish first
as soon as we came in
So we roughly know the taste, but
looking at the visual
Huh?
It makes me slightly excited
a taste that makes you look forward to it again?
-And here -Is there anything special?
The noodles are a bit
thicker
-A little thicker -Last time, it was kind of like
Noodles in Banquet noodles of Korea
It was like the plain noodles
It was a very thin noodle
And this crab as well
-The broth seems very rich too -Right
(First bite)
Is it fishy?
No, when we mixed it earlier
We added vinegar
That vinegar definitely has an effect
-Oh~~ -If you add some vinegar
It seems you can eat it much less fishy according to your preference
But honestly, at the first place
There was vinegar, but we didn't know
Right
-No, it was beside us, but we -It was right next to us, but they didn't tell us
Right, right, right
We didn't know
It's much more delicious
Actually, on our first day..
After eating
It was greasy, so we didn't eat it again
But it was tasty
The base flavor is the same
But the noodles here are
thicker
So the texture is different
Right
But still
to be honest
It's still too greasy
(Mysterious)
When I look at the people next to us
They eat more vinegar
They order one bowl per person
-They eat one bowl per person -I don't think I can eat
One bowl per person
Honestly, even this small bite
is greasy for me
Very greasy
Even though we usually
eat a lot of seafood in Hong Kong
We eat a lot
We eat a lot of crab
But if we think it's greasy
Why don't the people here
find it greasy?
Am I the only one who's weird?
Oh, these people eat a lot
Have they adapted to it?
Just now, we're just
Xiaolongbao..
Ordering xiaolongbao is so..
I feel thankful about it
Actually this place
This crab meat..
It's famous for xiaolongbao but
Unfortunately
It seems we might not be able to eat it
As a dumpling expert, what do you think?
It's delicious
Very soft
And the juice inside
It's very juicy
It's about to overflow
- It's very juicy - That's right
Looking over here on the table
There's a paper stuck on the table
(observation)
If the xiaolongbao or
or other dumplings
When they arrive
If they have already split
So the juice is
already out of the dumpling
If one breaks, you get two
If two break, you get four
Double the amount
So they guarantee the quality to some extent
(confidence)
Since being in Hong Kong,
When you go to Shanghai
xiaolongbao, xiaolongbao
You hear a lot about xiaolongbao
Right
- Even in Hong Kong - It's iconic
So I've tried it
but
I was curious about the real authentic taste
Tasting the authentic flavor
(Taste of the original)
Really, the dumpling is
full of juice
There's much more juice
But time has passed since we ordered
So it did slightly cooled down
(Wishing it was warm)
But the meat is still very soft
No off-flavors, and it doesn't smell bad
It seems to chew very deliciously
What I felt it last time,
crab xiaolongbao and
crab noodles shouldn't be eaten together
(????)
Ah~~ right
-Right -It's too greasy if eaten together
So
you must eat one with meat
This pork fried dish is really
available wherever you go
This menu is everywhere
Basically well-fried, don't you think?
-In any restaurant -And here
they fry it very thinly
(Special trait)
As a pork cutlet lover
I keep eating this
This is a food that is commonly
seen in Shanghai
This is quite
different from Korean style pork cutlet
has a different taste from the Japanese style pork cutlet
Here
they dip it in soy sauce and vinegar
and eating it with them
It's a different taste
I think it has a really different charm
Right
This is very soft
and thin
very thin as well
This place has a more
thin pork cutlet which seems to be the special trait
-And -Crispy
and crispy
also there isn't any unpleasant pork smell
-Not any pork smell -No, not at all
We've almost finished eating
since we finished the noodles too
All clear
And
there's only a little left
two here, and two dumplings
I'm so full
I'm so full now
Wow, really until the end
it doesn't disappoint us
That's right
The representative dishes of Shanghai
all seem delicious
Everything is really delicious wherever you go
So we felt that Shanghai is a city
with lots of delicious cuisines
I want to visit again
We really need to come again
The price was 170..
(33,008 won in Korean money) 170 in RMB
-In Korean money, about... -About 30,000 won?
About 30,000 won?
It was very cheap and costed us very little
-You could say we had a cheap lunch -Right
-We actually ordered a lot -That's right
Right
So in Shanghai
we ate delicious food
We will continue on with even more delicious
gourmet trips
to keep on finding more delicious places
We won't stop our journey
Goodbye
