(China, Shanghai) Hello
It's Shanghai Lunch
This is the famous
-Number 1 restaurant in Shanghai -That's right
Number 1 noodle restaurant
Isn't this the place where so many YouTube creators and Bloggers
-have visited? -That's right
We came at a time that is close to the lunch break
so we aren't sure if we could get a chance to eat it
I know
It looks like they're cleaning up
Let's get in line
Yes~
(A long line ahead of us)
One clam and pig liver noodle
Clam, pig liver noodles and
Fried pork please
Fried pork
(Ordering)
2:30 p.m. is
-their break time -Yeah
We arrived at 2:10 p.m.
One bad part is that
I did my research before coming here
The second noodle
This is what I wanted to have
I know
But it's all sold out
(That's a bummer)
The most famous menu
Clam
Pig liver noodle is still available
Anyhow
After we pay
they give a piece of paper
you can just take a seat
and wait
The system is quite old
The system is slightly
old-fashioned but
People say that this place is
Shanghai's
(Proven)
Number one
Agreed
-Noodle restaurant -For real
Yes, it's a number 1 noodle restaurant
so we have to try it
Will this be
a completely nonsense from the internet or
Is it really that good?
-No, I mean... -Is it really delicious?
Whenever we search
- this place always comes up - Yeah
It's the top-ranked spot
Look here
it even appeared in a real Hong Kong article
So, the journalist actually went alone
to see how delicious it was
and tried it
Even a
famous Taiwanese singer
- Jay Chou came and tried it - Jay Chou, Jay Chou
Wow, then it must be a really famous restaurant
(Well-known)
It’s even featured in Hong Kong Lunch
(Pride)
And it’s a chain store
- Ah~~ - There are a few branches
I think
I saw about four or five
But when we looked it up
even though it has a few branches
they’re all crowded, right?
Yes, because
I read the article
and the place the journalist visited
was a different branch
but look at the line...
It's the same here
incredibly long
(Noodles arrives)
The first dish is
the tripe...
You can choose between
mixed noodle ...
...and noodle
I chose stir-fried noodles
because it seemed
a bit more popular
It looks amazing
This is their signature dish
pork liver and
clams
- Clams - Clams...
together
According to him, it looks like
- jjajangmyeon - the color is
jjajangmyeon
So, we’ll see
Wonder if it tastes like Jjajangmyeon
You can add the soup
they gave us a while ago
Right
I’ll pour some soy sauce and vinegar for you
Sure, good
People are so nice here
It sucks that we can’t
try the second noodle
because
these two noodles
have the same base sauce
It’s just the toppings that’s different
I really wanted to try
those two noodles
anyway
we’re trying the best one
The lesson for next time is
don’t come before the break time
all food may be sold out
(Advice)
If you can handle intestines
have a look at this
(Having a bite)
(Humming)
(Surprised)
This is really good
This is the Jjajangmyeon sauce
It’s quite similar
I think this is the sauce
us Koreans can handle easily
The intestine is super chewy and delicious
The pig liver is also super chewy
It doesn’t taste fishy
It’s not fishy?
The intestine on mine is…
it has hints of intestine taste
It’s not that bad then?
But
the noodles taste a bit fishy for me
Yeah? The noodles itself?
Yeah
(Swapping food) Isn’t that egg noodles?
(Suspicious)
The sauce is
the toppings on top
has the flavor
of the sauce
So mine has
strong soy sauce taste
Yours
tastes like a large intestine
I ordered a plate of veggies
For our health
It is
3 dollars
500 KRW
(Cheaper than snack)
Price is really impressive
-Always amazed -Yes, always
I'm a..amazed
I think
I know why this place is number one noodle place
It’s really delicious
Well, I think here is
the best in Shanghai
I.. a little bit..
fried pork
fried pork, little bit feels like cutlet
But oddly
soy sauce and vinegar?
It’s vinegar, right?
It’s vinegar, vinegar
I have to dip in a vinegar
But it's good, it matches
It's what
makes this place unique
Pork cutlet is orange
Right right
It's really crispy
And it's not kind of
a thick pork cutlet
But for the price
it's really
amazing
We have to order noodles separately, right?
Right
Good choice
I didn't know and ordered it separately
Ah, and here
It's too crowded
Looks like everyone shares tables here
But in Shanghai
-I've never seen sharing tables -Yeah
It suddenly got... so noisy
Because.. this is..
staff‘s
break time
So, they're having lunch next to us
The large intestine is definitely a bit off
We ate a lot
Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed
But usually, I can eat intestines
and tripe quite well
-Even so, it tastes a bit fishy to me -Yeah, it does
When I try it
it’s okay up to two pieces
but on the third bite, it starts to taste fishy
(Disappointed)
But this pork liver
doesn’t taste that fishy
This
(Hesitate)
is more than being fishy
When we eat it in Korea
we always dip it in sauce
a lot
or eat it with red pepper paste
or stir-fry it
so you don’t really notice it
But here, they just serve it
- as is - Yeah
The portion of noodles is no joke
Even if you order one
- one person might not be able to finish it, honestly - And
What? Unlimited refills?
Even this
- I can't finish it - Yeah, I can't
And it’s not just
the amount of noodles
- there’s a lot of ingredients as well - Right
so the portion is even larger
In fact, here
you can add a sunny-side-up egg
for 3 dollars
But
they said it's sold out, too
(Eggs sold out too)
No eggs either?
(Nothing left)
The tripe noodles
is the third most popular dish at this restaurant
I ordered it
- but it doesn’t seem to suit us - Yeah, it doesn’t
- But - The price is
only 91 dollars (16,982 KRW)
But the portion was really
too much
- Yes - So, we barely managed to finish it
The unlimited refill...
…I just can’t
-It’s impossible -There’s no need
-You’re right -As expected, to call this place Shanghai’s
Number 1 best restaurant
-is not an exaggeration -Yeah
It’s very true
-Yeah -We had such a good meal
You should try it here
-You absolutely must come here -Yes
We will come back with
more delicious food
on our next Shanghai trip
Goodbye
