1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.200
Have you ever tried Pakistan curry somewhere else?

2
00:00:02.201 --> 00:00:02.997
This is my first time

3
00:00:02.998 --> 00:00:04.018
But it might not actually be Pakistan curry

4
00:00:04.018 --> 00:00:06.119
(Presenting suspicion)

5
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:07.248
(Hong Kong Lunch)

6
00:00:07.248 --> 00:00:08.869
(Kwun Tong, Hong Kong)

7
00:00:08.989 --> 00:00:10.861
Hong Kong has so many exotic food options, right?

8
00:00:10.861 --> 00:00:11.501
Definitely

9
00:00:11.602 --> 00:00:13.914
I've tried curry so many times

10
00:00:14.176 --> 00:00:15.637
but I had never heard about Pakistan curry

11
00:00:15.637 --> 00:00:16.911
I also have never tried it

12
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.000
-I've tried Indian curry at least
-Yeah, me too

13
00:00:19.278 --> 00:00:21.078
So when I saw this place selling it

14
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:22.039
I got really curious

15
00:00:22.202 --> 00:00:23.022
and decided to go there

16
00:00:23.022 --> 00:00:24.557
Pakistan food feels a little intimidating

17
00:00:24.558 --> 00:00:25.339
(Nervous)

18
00:00:25.339 --> 00:00:26.720
(Entering)

19
00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:28.720
(Clean interior)

20
00:00:40.420 --> 00:00:41.561
I thought this was a Pakistan restaurant

21
00:00:41.561 --> 00:00:42.360
(Looking around)

22
00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:43.240
Yeah, I thought so too

23
00:00:43.580 --> 00:00:44.680
But it’s actually just a Cha Chaan Teng

24
00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:47.000
Isn't it kind of unusual for Cha Chaan Teng to serve Pakistan curry?

25
00:00:47.001 --> 00:00:47.700
(Differentiation)

26
00:00:47.700 --> 00:00:48.400
The picture...

27
00:00:48.400 --> 00:00:49.576
That picture and this are a little different, aren't they?

28
00:00:49.576 --> 00:00:50.357
(Turns head)

29
00:00:50.357 --> 00:00:52.257
(Wall photo)

30
00:00:52.257 --> 00:00:54.400
Well, at least the atmosphere seems really nice and pleasant

31
00:00:54.400 --> 00:00:54.900
Right

32
00:00:54.900 --> 00:00:55.840
The place is really spacious, too

33
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:57.080
Most Cha Chaan Teng are usually..

34
00:00:57.327 --> 00:00:59.287
loud and a bit cramped
There are a lot of places like that

35
00:00:59.287 --> 00:01:01.880
If the food is good, I think people would definitely come here

36
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:03.060
Oh, if the food is good

37
00:01:03.061 --> 00:01:04.011
You must be pretty familiar with places like this

38
00:01:04.811 --> 00:01:05.720
Yeah, I am

39
00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:07.020
Especially because there are a lot of them near my office

40
00:01:07.420 --> 00:01:09.020
At work, the only dining option is basically Cha Chaan Teng

41
00:01:09.021 --> 00:01:10.260
(Environmental factors)

42
00:01:10.440 --> 00:01:11.720
Then you're a Cha Chaan Teng expert

43
00:01:11.721 --> 00:01:12.560
(Caught off guard)

44
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:13.821
Though, I eat the same thing every time I go

45
00:01:13.821 --> 00:01:14.520
(Honest confession)

46
00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:15.600
Do you like curry in general?

47
00:01:15.700 --> 00:01:16.920
I eat it when I randomly crave it

48
00:01:17.224 --> 00:01:17.741
Japanese curry?

49
00:01:17.741 --> 00:01:19.441
I also eat Indian curry sometimes

50
00:01:19.441 --> 00:01:20.740
I usually eat it if someone asks me to go

51
00:01:21.940 --> 00:01:22.881
It's good if you eat it sometimes

52
00:01:22.881 --> 00:01:24.220
(The menu arrives)

53
00:01:24.220 --> 00:01:26.480
This comes with pork

54
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:27.501
And curry

55
00:01:27.501 --> 00:01:28.400
It smells good?

56
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:30.240
Mine is chicken and curry

57
00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:32.300
Let's say it's accepted for the visual

58
00:01:32.300 --> 00:01:33.000
I don't think it's bad

59
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.820
I think it has a strong scent

60
00:01:34.820 --> 00:01:35.520
It smells a bit

61
00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:36.700
There's a tomato scent, too

62
00:01:37.380 --> 00:01:38.600
A spicy tomato

63
00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:40.100
Are the ingredients on top of this garlic?

64
00:01:40.100 --> 00:01:41.020
I think it's garlic?

65
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.240
I think I'd believe it even if it's spicy pasta

66
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:45.040
The sauce

67
00:01:45.041 --> 00:01:47.094
It's a taste that even Koreans can eat without resistance

68
00:01:47.194 --> 00:01:48.580
If they don't say curry, I wouldn't know it's curry

69
00:01:48.580 --> 00:01:49.620
It looks a bit different, right?

70
00:01:49.620 --> 00:01:52.500
It feels like the ingredients are covered under the sauce

71
00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:53.027
That's right

72
00:01:53.028 --> 00:01:53.907
(Thinking hard)

73
00:01:53.907 --> 00:01:55.280
It's a bit spicy while eating it?

74
00:01:55.340 --> 00:01:56.900
One of the benefits of curry is

75
00:01:56.901 --> 00:01:57.821
The food is coming out really fast

76
00:01:57.822 --> 00:01:58.721
(Quick delivery)

77
00:01:58.721 --> 00:02:00.360
I think it's almost as soon as you order it?

78
00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:01.160
Isn't it amazing?

79
00:02:01.160 --> 00:02:01.994
There are so many menus

80
00:02:01.994 --> 00:02:03.620
(Peaceful meal time)

81
00:02:03.620 --> 00:02:05.160
I think it's garlic. All the ones on the top

82
00:02:05.160 --> 00:02:06.160
Right? It's garlic, right?

83
00:02:06.160 --> 00:02:07.160
It's like garlic curry

84
00:02:07.160 --> 00:02:09.060
I like it because of the garlic

85
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:10.880
It doesn't taste greasy

86
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.300
If you eat a lot of curry, it's a bit greasy

87
00:02:13.300 --> 00:02:15.100
But I think the garlic kind of catches it

88
00:02:15.100 --> 00:02:15.881
I like it, personally

89
00:02:15.881 --> 00:02:17.280
(Chewing)

90
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.500
I think it's a bit different from the Indian style

91
00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:20.300
It's a curry I've never tried before

92
00:02:20.300 --> 00:02:21.300
It's my first time eating style curry

93
00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:22.280
It's definitely an unfamiliar taste

94
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:23.081
But considering that it's unfamiliar,

95
00:02:23.081 --> 00:02:25.010
I don't think it tastes weird or anything

96
00:02:25.600 --> 00:02:27.180
Maybe it's because of garlic

97
00:02:27.181 --> 00:02:28.501
But I'm definitely not resistant

98
00:02:28.860 --> 00:02:29.600
Just garlic-flavored curry?

99
00:02:29.600 --> 00:02:30.900
Doesn't it taste fishy?

100
00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:33.220
The garlic scent is so strong that it catches the fishy taste

101
00:02:33.221 --> 00:02:33.800
It balances the flavor

102
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:35.480
I kind of expected

103
00:02:35.481 --> 00:02:36.120
to dip it

104
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:37.560
This one isn’t the best for dipping

105
00:02:37.561 --> 00:02:38.701
(Hesitation)

106
00:02:38.701 --> 00:02:39.400
-It's strong, right?
-Right

107
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:40.900
This one feels like it goes perfectly with rice

108
00:02:40.900 --> 00:02:41.540
You have to eat it with rice

109
00:02:41.540 --> 00:02:43.220
Have you ever tried Pakistani curry somewhere else?

110
00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:44.050
No, it's my first time

111
00:02:44.050 --> 00:02:45.320
It might not be Pakistani curry

112
00:02:45.320 --> 00:02:47.040
(Raising suspicion)

113
00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:48.040
Oh, so is the name Pakistani only?

114
00:02:48.040 --> 00:02:48.940
This restaurant just

115
00:02:48.941 --> 00:02:50.318
A reinterpretation created by the restaurant

116
00:02:50.318 --> 00:02:51.100
That might be true

117
00:02:51.100 --> 00:02:53.180
But even considering that, it's not bad

118
00:02:53.180 --> 00:02:53.880
Actually pretty good

119
00:02:54.200 --> 00:02:54.960
I think the reinterpretation turned out pretty well

120
00:02:54.961 --> 00:02:55.940
(Success)

121
00:02:55.940 --> 00:02:56.860
Do you think you will come to eat again?

122
00:02:56.860 --> 00:02:57.360
This one?

123
00:02:57.760 --> 00:02:58.640
I think I will come

124
00:02:58.640 --> 00:02:59.680
How about you? Will you come again?

125
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.100
If someone asks me to come eat...

126
00:03:01.526 --> 00:03:02.266
I think I will

127
00:03:02.646 --> 00:03:04.260
- You don't have much resistance?
- No, I don’t

128
00:03:04.260 --> 00:03:05.101
 It's just a simple and safe flavor

129
00:03:05.101 --> 00:03:06.160
For Korean people to eat

130
00:03:06.160 --> 00:03:07.160
(???)

131
00:03:07.160 --> 00:03:08.520
 Isn't curry supposed to have curry powder in it?

132
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:09.360
It should

133
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:09.940
Since it's curry

134
00:03:09.940 --> 00:03:11.620
Curry powder and some other ingredients, too

135
00:03:11.620 --> 00:03:12.738
Maybe they put in something else?

136
00:03:12.738 --> 00:03:14.761
If you go to places like India or Thailand

137
00:03:14.761 --> 00:03:16.270
They use a lot of ingredients like coconut

138
00:03:16.270 --> 00:03:17.500
I don’t think this has any coconut taste

139
00:03:17.500 --> 00:03:18.240
Not at all

140
00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:19.400
It's not sweet

141
00:03:19.401 --> 00:03:20.320
(Pausing)

142
00:03:20.320 --> 00:03:22.520
What do you think? Compared to the Cha Chaan Teng
you had every day near the office

143
00:03:22.521 --> 00:03:23.330
Is it good?

144
00:03:23.330 --> 00:03:24.540
I feel like Cha Chaan Teng food is just good in general

145
00:03:24.780 --> 00:03:26.460
I do get curious about some other menus

146
00:03:26.940 --> 00:03:27.880
because it's quite satisfying

147
00:03:27.880 --> 00:03:30.500
I think you should try it at a steamed Pakistani restaurant next time

148
00:03:30.500 --> 00:03:31.500
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea

149
00:03:31.500 --> 00:03:32.000
Do you want to go together?

150
00:03:32.001 --> 00:03:32.820
(Reaction malfunction)

151
00:03:32.820 --> 00:03:33.821
Oh, Pakistan...

152
00:03:33.821 --> 00:03:34.741
(Indirect rejection)

153
00:03:34.741 --> 00:03:36.160
I usually don't have resistance to food

154
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:37.126
but Pakistan is a bit...

155
00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:38.320
You've heard about this too

156
00:03:38.320 --> 00:03:39.460
Should we go to Chungking Mansion?

157
00:03:40.340 --> 00:03:41.860
Pakistani cuisine isn’t bad

158
00:03:41.860 --> 00:03:42.920
It wasn’t bad at all

159
00:03:42.920 --> 00:03:45.020
The curry was really delicious

160
00:03:45.021 --> 00:03:45.920
so I was very satisfied

161
00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:48.960
It made me want to try authentic Pakistani food next time

162
00:03:48.961 --> 00:03:50.180
-It could be that kind of place
-Really

163
00:03:50.180 --> 00:03:51.260
Pakistan...

164
00:03:51.261 --> 00:03:52.200
I haven’t tried it before

165
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:54.140
but this is a good opportunity

166
00:03:54.715 --> 00:03:56.000
I think it wouldn’t be bad to try it again

167
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:57.740
I'll make sure to invite you next time

168
00:03:57.780 --> 00:04:00.040
(28,944 KRW)
The total came out to 154 dollars

169
00:04:00.040 --> 00:04:02.320
which means each person spent about 70 dollars

170
00:04:02.320 --> 00:04:03.905
The price is pretty much the same as a regular Cha Chaan Teng

171
00:04:03.905 --> 00:04:05.265
with almost no difference

172
00:04:05.448 --> 00:04:07.460
The taste was also quite mild and easy to enjoy

173
00:04:07.460 --> 00:04:09.220
So, next time, we’ll continue our journey

174
00:04:09.220 --> 00:04:11.280
by finding an even better place

175
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:12.320
Goodbye

176
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:26.860
(HKL’s three-line review
1. Pakistani curry—unfamiliar yet familiar 
2. Flavors of rich garlic
3. A clean interior with plenty of seating)
