This soy sauce is really simmered for a long time
so the soy sauce flavor deeply permeates the meat, which seems to be the characteristic
But this dish isn't the end
Is it an appetizer?
Right
(Stay tuned)
(Hong Kong luncheon)
(China, Shenzhen)
There are many delicious markets in China, right?
Right?
Oh, there are many
And there are many places where the prices are cheap
Right
From what I've found out
it's really highly rated
it's a chain store
and it seems like a place many people visit
Oh
So since you work in China
Oh, there are a lot of people
It's not here, though
Oh, it's not
(Error)
I'm a bit curious about how it tastes from a Chinese's perspective
What? Chinese?
Yeah, a Chinese
(Changing nationality)
(Enter)
It seems like the pork is delicious here
Pork?
Oh
Pork is good
The set menu is well put together
Oh
How about ordering the set for two?
The bottle here is really
(Order complete)
unique
It's delicious
Lemonade flavor
But it seems like you see these kinds of restaurants quite often
It's somewhat clean
and a group of four or two can come and eat comfortably
but the prices are actually much cheaper than in Hong Kong
much cheaper
I think it's inevitable for them to come
Hong Kong people have no choice but to come
That's why there's a reason Hong Kong restaurants are closing down
Exactly
If you talk about the drawbacks of traveling in China
Actually now
A few things that are globally accepted..
Like Google
There are many cases where apps like these don't work well here
So many people hesitate to come
But once you get used to it and solve it
traveling in China seems very convenient
WeChat or Alipay
If you get used to one of them
it's quite convenient
Right, you can really use them anywhere
Wow, the visual is really impressive
On the right here is Dongpo Pork
also known as Hong Shao Rou
Next to it, there's fish included
On the left is bread to eat together
This seems to be the main
(Understanding the situation)
It seems to be the main
The steamed buns smell amazing too
I’ve actually never tried this kind of bread
in China before
Oh, it smells good
The steamed bun is made easy to open
Like this
Wow, the pork literally melts in my mouth
as soon as it goes in
It seems a bit fatty
But it's very soft
(Tasting the fish)
What kind of taste is this?
It's dry but soft
Yes, yes
It's delicious
This is a bit salty
So, you have to eat it with bread
It might be delicious to eat pork and fish together
Because when you eat only pork...
...it's fatty
The fish seems too salty
Wouldn't it taste good if combined?
They really simmer the soy sauce down
so the soy flavor deeply soaks into the meat, and that seems to be the highlight
But this dish isn't the end
Is it an appetizer?
Right
(Stay tuned)
Here comes the second dish
It's some kind of soup with beef inside
There are eggs and tomatoes inside
It feels like a typical slightly Chinese-style soup
But you're still a bit of an amateur
You still use a bowl
Chinese people only use bowls
when throwing away trash
(Talking about plates)
They don't put it in a bowl and eat
They put it here and eat
(Checking the smell)
No, the composition is so good that
just when it starts to feel greasy with pork
the soup comes out and
it feels like it balances my stomach
Oh, what is this taste?
First of all, it's very thick
I can slightly taste the tomato
and there's a sourness
They added vinegar
(Eureka)
It tastes like vinegar, it really does
Yeah, this is the kind of thick
feeling you get at Chinese restaurants
But there seem to be quite a few people who can't eat cilantro
I couldn't eat cilantro at first either
As I kept eating it
I think I became somewhat addicted to this taste
Gradually, to this taste
(Transformation)
Were you originally someone who couldn't eat it?
Yes, I originally couldn't eat it
I used to wonder why people eat it
(Appetite becoming Chinese)
In some places, they serve it chopped like this
I got used to that
You've been trained
(Adaptation training)
Without realizing it
finally, double spice
vegetables come out
If you order a set, you'll definitely get one vegetable
When you go to a restaurant, you must order at least one vegetable
Right?
Really, putting shrimp and garlic on top is a little
different from what I saw in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, they seem to just give lettuce like this
Now, lastly
the smell is already coming from here
This is the Mapo Tofu we added
at the end
What, I thought it was the end, but something else came out
Somehow, there's one more vegetable dish coming out
Stir-fried vegetables
- They give a lot - They give so much
Mapo tofu can be added for two people
The amazing thing is that mapo tofu is $6.9 (KRW 10,108) here
Adding it doesn't feel burdensome at all
Mapo tofu
If it's $6.9...
...what's left for them?
I'm so curious
I don't think this even covers the cost of the ingredients
How cheap...
...must the ingredients be
Or
(Curiosity)
Do they make the tofu themselves?
(Reasonable Guess)
The place I went last time was $9 (KRW 13,185)
$9?
So
I thought this place was really cheap
but here it's even cheaper at $6.9
It's delicious
Is it tasty?
It's crunchy
What is it, is it a mushroom?
I think it's a mushroom
And this has a very strong grilled flavor
Ah, this is
exactly the taste Koreans would like
(Right up my alley)
Exactly the classic stir-fry
(Mapo Tofu Strategy)
They warned me earlier that it's spicy
I wonder how spicy it is
(???)
Oh, it's spicy
It's spicy
(Surprised)
(Aftershock)
Oh, it's spicy
Oh, it's very spicy
But the tofu itself is really delicious
The tofu is tasty
It's softer than soft tofu
How is this possible?
It's just tofu, but how is it softer?
The reason so much food comes out like this is
because Chinese people eat this much?
If two people order?
Rather than eating a lot
they eat several
But you can give a little of several
The amount is almost like
it comes out a lot like one dish
I know
If you sell this much in Hong Kong, just 100 of these
Of course
It's the end, the end
80 dollars
It's the end, end end end
40 dollars
Yeah, the end
Yeah, this is the most
Vegetables are 40 dollars, it's the most
(Price difference)
When I learned Chinese before
I learned the culture together
At that time, I heard that Chinese people
when they treat someone
they intentionally make a lot of food
So leaving some is considered polite
But that is connected to restaurant culture
So the portions are large like this
Every place I go, the portions are really large
(Busy hands)
I'm sweating
(Breaking into a sweat)
You don't have to eat this too much
This is $6.9
Here, even if you order wrong, there's no burden
Yeah, there's no burden
No burden
Because the price is reasonable
Just say you bought a pack of tissues in Hong Kong
and lost it
You keep eating only this
It seems you think this is the most delicious
Yeah, it's the most delicious
Was it more delicious than the main meat?
Both are similar
Oh, they are?
This one is too spicy, so it's a bit out
(Personal preference)
The real reason to come to Shenzhen to eat is
not just the quantity
but also the taste is really delicious
It's delicious
And the service seems really excellent
The current price is 144 yuan (KRW 28,713)
Now, the two of us spent almost 70 yuan (KRW 13,958)
It's only about 77 HKD (KRW 14,512)
In fact, we're eating a lot for a very cheap price
Next time, we'll find even more delicious food
and see you on a trip to Shenzhen
Goodbye
