This place's Pad Thai has

192
00:04:54.330 --> 00:04:55.180
a bit of a smoky flavor

193
00:04:55.180 --> 00:04:55.730
[Agrees]

194
00:04:55.730 --> 00:04:56.230
But

195
00:04:56.980 --> 00:04:58.830
everything I'm eating now is a bit spicy

196
00:04:59.530 --> 00:05:00.930
so instead of

197
00:05:00.930 --> 00:05:02.280
being moved to tears

198
00:05:02.280 --> 00:05:03.880
it just feels like tears are coming out because it's spicy

199
00:05:03.880 --> 00:05:04.930
Once again

200
00:05:04.930 --> 00:05:06.330
I feel like Hong Kong people

201
00:05:06.330 --> 00:05:07.480
handle spicy food better than we do

202
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:09.180
Even though they're eating

203
00:05:09.180 --> 00:05:11.030
- They say it's not spicy at all
- Right

204
00:05:11.030 --> 00:05:12.530
Aren't we a bit below average?

205
00:05:12.530 --> 00:05:13.380
Yes, I'm sorry

206
00:05:13.380 --> 00:05:14.080
[Sudden apology]

207
00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:15.630
Everything tastes amazing here

208
00:05:15.630 --> 00:05:17.130
- Every single dish
- Right, right

209
00:05:17.130 --> 00:05:18.280
It tastes really good

210
00:05:18.280 --> 00:05:20.530
There's a reason it's so popular

211
00:05:20.530 --> 00:05:21.630
Because there are many Thai restaurants in Hong Kong

212
00:05:21.630 --> 00:05:23.231
Actually, there are many

213
00:05:23.231 --> 00:05:25.031
so I've been to many places

214
00:05:25.031 --> 00:05:26.731
The ones that aren't tasty are really bad

215
00:05:26.731 --> 00:05:28.031
I personally think the shrimp in Pad Thai is

216
00:05:28.031 --> 00:05:29.931
really delicious

217
00:05:29.931 --> 00:05:31.831
There are three very plump shrimps in it

218
00:05:31.831 --> 00:05:32.631
That's right

219
00:05:32.631 --> 00:05:33.781
This is really well stir-fried

220
00:05:33.781 --> 00:05:35.081
When it came out

221
00:05:35.081 --> 00:05:37.331
I said the portion is really small

222
00:05:37.331 --> 00:05:38.931
But now I'm so full

223
00:05:38.931 --> 00:05:40.881
- The portion's actually pretty decent, right?
- Totally

224
00:05:40.881 --> 00:05:42.231
But among the Thai restaurants I've tried here

225
00:05:42.231 --> 00:05:44.081
I think this is the cleanest and most delicious

226
00:05:44.081 --> 00:05:45.731
And the people here were really nice

227
00:05:45.731 --> 00:05:46.781
Yes, they are

228
00:05:46.781 --> 00:05:48.881
- This is spicy, so you have to eat it quickly
- Yes

229
00:05:48.881 --> 00:05:50.031
A bit of a downside is

230
00:05:50.031 --> 00:05:50.731
[Looking Around]

231
00:05:50.731 --> 00:05:51.981
The place is small

232
00:05:51.981 --> 00:05:54.231
but there are too many tables

233
00:05:54.231 --> 00:05:55.681
so you have to move aside when people go out

234
00:05:55.681 --> 00:05:56.881
and move aside again when going in

235
00:05:56.881 --> 00:05:58.231
This is a bit disappointing

236
00:05:58.231 --> 00:05:59.831
It's inevitable in Hong Kong restaurants

237
00:05:59.831 --> 00:06:01.931
Finally, our dessert is served

238
00:06:02.431 --> 00:06:04.581
Mango sticky rice

239
00:06:04.581 --> 00:06:05.831
It's kind of like sushi

240
00:06:05.831 --> 00:06:07.631
- It feels a bit strange
- Putting it on top of the rice

241
00:06:07.631 --> 00:06:08.281
Exactly

242
00:06:08.281 --> 00:06:10.481
And always, other Thai restaurants

243
00:06:10.781 --> 00:06:12.131
serve it next to the rice

244
00:06:12.131 --> 00:06:14.581
- but here, they just put it on top
- I know

245
00:06:14.581 --> 00:06:15.781
[Evaluating]

246
00:06:15.781 --> 00:06:17.031
There is a downside

247
00:06:17.031 --> 00:06:17.531
What is it?

248
00:06:17.531 --> 00:06:19.281
- The mango isn't sweet
- Right

249
00:06:19.881 --> 00:06:21.331
Come to think of it, the sourness was

250
00:06:21.331 --> 00:06:22.232
because of the mango

251
00:06:22.232 --> 00:06:24.182
The mango has a slightly sour taste

252
00:06:24.182 --> 00:06:25.082
When I first tried this

253
00:06:25.082 --> 00:06:26.432
I was so confused about

254
00:06:26.432 --> 00:06:27.882
how rice and mango could work

255
00:06:27.882 --> 00:06:29.532
as a dessert

256
00:06:29.532 --> 00:06:31.182
But now that I've lived in Hong Kong for a while

257
00:06:31.182 --> 00:06:32.532
I eat this kind of stuff a lot

258
00:06:32.532 --> 00:06:33.682
So, I've gotten used to it

259
00:06:33.682 --> 00:06:35.582
I think this has its own charm

260
00:06:35.582 --> 00:06:36.332
as a dessert

261
00:06:36.332 --> 00:06:37.982
Wait, in Korea

262
00:06:37.982 --> 00:06:39.682
don't Thai restaurants have this?

263
00:06:39.682 --> 00:06:41.032
I've never been to a Thai restaurant in Korea

264
00:06:41.032 --> 00:06:41.982
[No experience]

265
00:06:41.982 --> 00:06:43.882
In Hong Kong

266
00:06:43.882 --> 00:06:46.282
there are many people from other countries living here

267
00:06:46.282 --> 00:06:47.082
Right

268
00:06:47.082 --> 00:06:49.382
Maybe that's why there are many Thai restaurants

269
00:06:49.832 --> 00:06:51.782
By the end, I was so full and satisfied

270
00:06:51.782 --> 00:06:52.382
- Come to think of it 
- Yes, that's right

271
00:06:52.382 --> 00:06:54.182
actually, we did order quite a lot

272
00:06:54.182 --> 00:06:54.982
Yes, yes

273
00:06:54.982 --> 00:06:56.882
This place was just really clean and delicious

274
00:06:56.882 --> 00:06:58.332
- Thai restaurant 
- Yes, that's right

275
00:06:58.332 --> 00:07:00.332
[About 77,000 KRW]
Since the price came out to 430 HKD

276
00:07:00.332 --> 00:07:01.682
we ordered 2 noodles

277
00:07:01.682 --> 00:07:03.332
1 dessert, 1 salad

278
00:07:03.332 --> 00:07:04.982
and even drinks

279
00:07:04.982 --> 00:07:06.532
- We did order quite a lot 
- Yes, yes

280
00:07:06.532 --> 00:07:07.782
So, we will continue our Hong Kong trip

281
00:07:07.782 --> 00:07:10.132
by finding more delicious places

282
00:07:10.132 --> 00:07:11.032
