1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.280
You used a whole box of tissue

2
00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:01.960
for your sweat

3
00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:03.200
It's not even that hot outside

4
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:03.920
I know

5
00:00:03.920 --> 00:00:04.680
It's winter

6
00:00:04.681 --> 00:00:05.934
(Hong Kong Lunch)

7
00:00:05.934 --> 00:00:07.680
(Hong Kong, Kwun Tong)
Kwun Tong is famous for noodles

8
00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:09.520
There's lots of good noodle places

9
00:00:09.520 --> 00:00:11.388
We're also here for the best noodle place

10
00:00:11.394 --> 00:00:11.960
(Investigators for best food places)

11
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:14.277
We're going for the second or third noodle place just in Kwun Tong, right?

12
00:00:14.277 --> 00:00:15.422
Yeah, it's about that

13
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:17.240
One unique thing about this place

14
00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:18.496
based on the picture I saw is

15
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:19.920
people order so much meat here

16
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:20.520
The meat?

17
00:00:20.521 --> 00:00:22.460
(Entrance is packed)

18
00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:24.240
We can order with a QR code here

19
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:25.000
Wow

20
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:26.360
They have an English menu here

21
00:00:26.360 --> 00:00:27.200
Wow, that's good

22
00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:28.442
We have to choose the noodle first

23
00:00:28.442 --> 00:00:30.160
The very first page is for noodles

24
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:31.133
After you choose the noodle

25
00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:32.160
you can the other stuff

26
00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:33.639
This looks like Man Kee Cart Noodle

27
00:00:33.639 --> 00:00:34.402
But I'm

28
00:00:34.830 --> 00:00:36.373
getting used to the translation

29
00:00:36.374 --> 00:00:37.914
(Looking professional)

30
00:00:37.914 --> 00:00:39.296
I can guess what it is from a glance

31
00:00:39.641 --> 00:00:40.139
(Surprised)

32
00:00:40.139 --> 00:00:41.588
They have 39 different ingredients

33
00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:42.796
They have 44

34
00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:43.560
for ingredients

35
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:44.119
The toppings?

36
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:44.439
Yeah

37
00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:46.169
(Trendy interior design)

38
00:00:46.197 --> 00:00:47.240
I get more hungry after I order

39
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:48.599
Right, right, same for me too

40
00:00:48.599 --> 00:00:49.628
It requires lots of brain power

41
00:00:50.040 --> 00:00:51.400
To be honest, I think using a QR code for order

42
00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:53.090
is much easier for travellers, right?

43
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:54.400
I think QR is better

44
00:00:54.400 --> 00:00:55.470
but on the side note

45
00:00:56.080 --> 00:00:57.560
I think this place has a good food price

46
00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:58.400
You think so?

47
00:00:58.400 --> 00:00:59.651
I just took a glance at the table next to us

48
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:00.834
and the portion

49
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:02.317
looks different from what we had so far

50
00:01:02.317 --> 00:01:03.759
Wow the portion's large here

51
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:05.367
Every time I choose, it's a set, no

52
00:01:05.381 --> 00:01:06.239
There were a lot of complete products

53
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:06.894
Right, right

54
00:01:07.199 --> 00:01:08.800
This is basically classic Hong Kong food

55
00:01:08.800 --> 00:01:09.599
That's right

56
00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:10.600
(Looking around)

57
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:12.300
First of all, the shopping mall here is so fascinating

58
00:01:12.304 --> 00:01:14.114
I think they put a cart bar inside the shopping mall

59
00:01:14.114 --> 00:01:15.089
(Lively vibe)

60
00:01:15.101 --> 00:01:16.040
If you walk by

61
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:17.160
A place where to fix your phone

62
00:01:17.160 --> 00:01:18.279
Where accessories are sold

63
00:01:18.279 --> 00:01:19.547
There's everything

64
00:01:19.547 --> 00:01:21.922
(Drink arrives)

65
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:23.080
There was no sugar?

66
00:01:23.080 --> 00:01:23.519
No

67
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:23.800
Yeah?

68
00:01:23.800 --> 00:01:24.239
You have this

69
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:25.192
This is sugar-free

70
00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:26.199
Eat it, bro

71
00:01:26.199 --> 00:01:27.160
No, I didn't order sugar-free

72
00:01:27.160 --> 00:01:27.599
What?

73
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:28.279
Hey, don't you have sugar-free?

74
00:01:28.279 --> 00:01:29.279
I ordered something without sugar

75
00:01:29.279 --> 00:01:29.959
Oh, then I'll eat it

76
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:30.680
No, no

77
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:31.879
I usually like this, but

78
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:32.879
It's better without sugar

79
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:33.720
You usually eat regular one, right?

80
00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:35.120
Don't you always eat the regular one?

81
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:36.080
The one with a lot of sugar?

82
00:01:36.080 --> 00:01:36.926
What is it?

83
00:01:36.999 --> 00:01:37.907
The third one

84
00:01:38.192 --> 00:01:39.360
It's sugar-free

85
00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:40.253
The sugar-free one

86
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:41.120
There's no sugar?

87
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:41.440
Yeah

88
00:01:41.440 --> 00:01:43.199
Something sweet. Something that reminds me of 'go'

89
00:01:43.199 --> 00:01:44.097
Nothing sweet

90
00:01:44.360 --> 00:01:45.685
-Have a sweet trip
-Go, go

91
00:01:45.685 --> 00:01:46.400
(Translation trick)

92
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:47.681
As we expected

93
00:01:47.800 --> 00:01:49.817
The visuals are really successful

94
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:51.199
Did you add anything?

95
00:01:51.199 --> 00:01:51.982
I added...

96
00:01:52.049 --> 00:01:53.232
meat and

97
00:01:53.279 --> 00:01:54.546
chicken, pork

98
00:01:54.639 --> 00:01:55.760
and tofu

99
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:56.440
What did you add?

100
00:01:56.440 --> 00:01:57.120
For me, wanton

101
00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:58.080
Next one is Makchang

102
00:01:58.080 --> 00:01:58.760
Uh.. Makchang

103
00:01:58.760 --> 00:01:59.919
and pork

104
00:01:59.919 --> 00:02:00.693
Oh this is

105
00:02:00.694 --> 00:02:01.519
(Smacked his lips)

106
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:02.919
This place feels like a rising powerhouse

107
00:02:02.919 --> 00:02:03.639
Visually

108
00:02:03.639 --> 00:02:05.160
It really feels like this place is going to be the top noodle place

109
00:02:05.160 --> 00:02:06.160
All that’s left is for the taste to live up to it

110
00:02:06.161 --> 00:02:07.538
(Excitement)

111
00:02:07.546 --> 00:02:08.559
Wow it’s quite spicy

112
00:02:08.559 --> 00:02:08.960
Is it?

113
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:10.483
I ordered the least spicy option among the spicy ones

114
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:11.479
Is this the Mala flavor?

115
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:12.000
Little bit spicy

116
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:12.639
I ordered Bibirashi

117
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:14.080
and the mild spicy flavor, that even kids can eat

118
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:14.859
But this is actually pretty spicy!

119
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:15.399
Oh

120
00:02:15.399 --> 00:02:16.000
It’s pretty spicy, right?

121
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:16.862
(Chocking)

122
00:02:16.863 --> 00:02:17.707
(Clearing his throat)

123
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:18.927
Wow it’s spicy

124
00:02:18.928 --> 00:02:19.600
(There’s a fire in his mouth)

125
00:02:19.600 --> 00:02:20.274
Be careful

126
00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:21.000
Too spicy

127
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:22.160
I think the ingredients are fresh

128
00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:22.520
This is good

129
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:23.759
I thought it was just going to be a large portion

130
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:24.759
But it’s not just about the quantity

131
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:25.880
The quality of each ingredient

132
00:02:25.880 --> 00:02:26.360
is pretty great

133
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:27.119
Makchang is really good too

134
00:02:27.119 --> 00:02:28.368
If it’s not cooked right, Makchang can taste pretty gamey

135
00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:29.720
One of them is a bit spicy

136
00:02:29.720 --> 00:02:30.880
Whoa, it’s pretty spicy

137
00:02:30.880 --> 00:02:31.477
I’m starting to sweat

138
00:02:31.478 --> 00:02:32.119
(Sweat is pouring down)

139
00:02:32.119 --> 00:02:32.800
I think you mixed it up

140
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:34.199
and ordered the spiciness level

141
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:35.539
from the restaurant you went to last time

142
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:36.800
The broth is definitely red

143
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.039
Honestly, it’s my type

144
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:38.919
It has a totally local vibe

145
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:39.520
Local vibe

146
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:40.960
If I just tone down the spiciness a but next time

147
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:41.880
I think I’d come back

148
00:02:41.880 --> 00:02:42.360
For sure

149
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:43.279
I like this place

150
00:02:43.279 --> 00:02:43.920
This is pretty good

151
00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:45.395
(Scent of authenticity)

152
00:02:45.411 --> 00:02:46.520
We added three ingredients

153
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:48.559
but the portion is quite large

154
00:02:48.559 --> 00:02:49.759
to the point I think it's almost too much

155
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:51.119
I think it'd be enough to add just two ingredients

156
00:02:51.119 --> 00:02:51.880
for those who eat less

157
00:02:51.880 --> 00:02:52.759
Two is enough

158
00:02:52.839 --> 00:02:54.039
Try the tofu

159
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:54.520
Wow

160
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:55.039
Do you like the tofu?

161
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:56.119
Tofu's really good, it's very soft

162
00:02:56.119 --> 00:02:57.119
Try the chicken neck

163
00:02:57.119 --> 00:02:58.267
Alright, I will

164
00:02:58.320 --> 00:02:59.951
We're not great with spicy food

165
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:00.520
Right

166
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.360
Mid-level spiciness will be perfect for Koreans

167
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:02.800
Right, right

168
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:04.001
That's perfect for Koreans

169
00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:05.119
We're just...

170
00:03:05.119 --> 00:03:06.573
the outliers in Korea

171
00:03:06.573 --> 00:03:07.585
(Gasping for air)

172
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:08.520
Wow, this isn't easy

173
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:09.856
Get some tissue...

174
00:03:09.880 --> 00:03:10.540
wipe your sweat

175
00:03:10.540 --> 00:03:11.899
(Freshening up)

176
00:03:12.094 --> 00:03:13.399
I sweat a lot when I eat spicy food

177
00:03:13.399 --> 00:03:13.800
I know

178
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:14.720
Try the chicken too

179
00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:15.080
Wow

180
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:15.720
Wow, what is this

181
00:03:15.720 --> 00:03:16.360
This chicken is just wow

182
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:17.279
I like all the ingredients

183
00:03:17.279 --> 00:03:18.279
Yeah, all of them are good

184
00:03:18.279 --> 00:03:19.923
Not all ingredients are good

185
00:03:19.943 --> 00:03:20.440
Yeah

186
00:03:20.440 --> 00:03:22.000
even if you go to a really good Man Kee Cart Noodle place

187
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.507
There's always one or two ingredients you should avoid

188
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:26.759
but the ingredients we ordered here are all good

189
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:28.437
We're not here for a challenge

190
00:03:28.839 --> 00:03:30.375
but it feels like we're actually doing it

191
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:31.639
We're not at that level yet

192
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:33.639
I hope people who watch this visit here because of us

193
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:35.240
and get disappointed because it's not that spicy

194
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:35.440
I know right

195
00:03:35.440 --> 00:03:37.279
- Guys, it's not that spicy
- Yeah, it's not that spicy

196
00:03:37.279 --> 00:03:38.651
You can adjust the spiciness too

197
00:03:38.839 --> 00:03:40.080
Don't worry and just modify it as you like

198
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:41.912
I'm starting to realize as I eat

199
00:03:42.119 --> 00:03:42.834
that I feel like

200
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.246
this Malatang tastes the same as the Korean one

201
00:03:45.399 --> 00:03:45.960
Yes

202
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:46.600
Right, right

203
00:03:46.600 --> 00:03:47.440
Don't they have something in similar?

204
00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:48.665
Like a little bit spicy

205
00:03:48.665 --> 00:03:49.258
(Familiar)

206
00:03:49.258 --> 00:03:51.240
-I might feel this more tasty since it is similar to Korean 
-I guess so

207
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:52.876
It's what we always eat

208
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:54.919
not like mala soup we could eat in Hong Kong

209
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:56.343
but a little bit Koreanized mala soup, I think

210
00:03:56.344 --> 00:03:57.119
(Drinking soda)

211
00:03:57.119 --> 00:03:57.702
It's yummy, but I also feel like

212
00:03:58.011 --> 00:03:59.708
having a battle with the food

213
00:03:59.880 --> 00:04:00.880
They serve a lot of noddle

214
00:04:00.880 --> 00:04:01.880
really a lot, really

215
00:04:01.880 --> 00:04:03.080
Thanks to the drink

216
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:04.559
which is quite big

217
00:04:04.559 --> 00:04:05.520
This place tend to be with big things

218
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:06.600
Yes, I agree

219
00:04:06.600 --> 00:04:07.320
First, this place is quite spacious

220
00:04:07.320 --> 00:04:09.679
When it's spicy, I can drink

221
00:04:09.679 --> 00:04:10.839
A cold drink is necessary

222
00:04:10.839 --> 00:04:12.199
A cold drink is so necessary in this place

223
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.039
Anyhow we finished all

224
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:15.240
using the almost whole pack of tissue

225
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:15.880
to wipe the sweat

226
00:04:15.880 --> 00:04:17.000
Even though it's not a weather we sweat

227
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:17.679
I mean it

228
00:04:17.679 --> 00:04:18.399
It's winter time

229
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:19.399
This is definitely

230
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.079
the best noodle place in Kwun Tong

231
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:21.882
(Relaxed eyes)

232
00:04:22.166 --> 00:04:22.650
I admit it

233
00:04:22.650 --> 00:04:23.580
(Professional approved)

234
00:04:23.580 --> 00:04:25.359
I guess you are not good enough to admit now

235
00:04:25.359 --> 00:04:26.082
You seem like out of a battle

236
00:04:26.082 --> 00:04:26.803
(A battle with oneself)

237
00:04:26.835 --> 00:04:27.693
It was so yummy

238
00:04:27.880 --> 00:04:29.000
and generous in portion

239
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:29.815
I just can't lie

240
00:04:30.336 --> 00:04:31.519
that it's so good

241
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:32.200
so so good

242
00:04:32.200 --> 00:04:34.193
(27,128 KRW)
We paid 145 dollars

243
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:35.519
We had a drink for each

244
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.000
and a noodle for each

245
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:37.480
Yes

246
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:39.527
That means it's not that cheap

247
00:04:39.799 --> 00:04:42.079
but regarding of the taste and quality

248
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:43.160
-It's enough
-Not bad

249
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:44.839
We can skip a topping

250
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:45.640
Right, right

251
00:04:45.640 --> 00:04:47.599
You can add or remove toppings as you like

252
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:49.119
Two ingredients were enough

253
00:04:49.119 --> 00:04:49.760
I feel so full

254
00:04:49.760 --> 00:04:51.839
We're going to continue our journey

255
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.000
to look for even better restaurants

256
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:54.920
Bye! (in Cantonese)

257
00:04:56.450 --> 00:05:04.512
(HKL's three-line review 
1. Best Mala soup noodle in the area 
2. Best place with good ingredients 
3. Watch out for its spiciness)
