Have you ever tried Pakistan curry somewhere else?
This is my first time
But it might not actually be Pakistan curry
(Presenting suspicion)
(Hong Kong Lunch)
(Kwun Tong, Hong Kong)
Hong Kong has so many exotic food options, right?
Definitely
I've tried curry so many times
but I had never heard about Pakistan curry
I also have never tried it
-I've tried Indian curry at least -Yeah, me too
So when I saw this place selling it
I got really curious
and decided to go there
Pakistan food feels a little intimidating
(Nervous)
(Entering)
(Clean interior)
I thought this was a Pakistan restaurant
(Looking around)
Yeah, I thought so too
But it’s actually just a Cha Chaan Teng
Isn't it kind of unusual for Cha Chaan Teng to serve Pakistan curry?
(Differentiation)
The picture...
That picture and this are a little different, aren't they?
(Turns head)
(Wall photo)
Well, at least the atmosphere seems really nice and pleasant
Right
The place is really spacious, too
Most Cha Chaan Teng are usually..
loud and a bit cramped There are a lot of places like that
If the food is good, I think people would definitely come here
Oh, if the food is good
You must be pretty familiar with places like this
Yeah, I am
Especially because there are a lot of them near my office
At work, the only dining option is basically Cha Chaan Teng
(Environmental factors)
Then you're a Cha Chaan Teng expert
(Caught off guard)
Though, I eat the same thing every time I go
(Honest confession)
Do you like curry in general?
I eat it when I randomly crave it
Japanese curry?
I also eat Indian curry sometimes
I usually eat it if someone asks me to go
It's good if you eat it sometimes
(The menu arrives)
This comes with pork
And curry
It smells good?
Mine is chicken and curry
Let's say it's accepted for the visual
I don't think it's bad
I think it has a strong scent
It smells a bit
There's a tomato scent, too
A spicy tomato
Are the ingredients on top of this garlic?
I think it's garlic?
I think I'd believe it even if it's spicy pasta
The sauce
It's a taste that even Koreans can eat without resistance
If they don't say curry, I wouldn't know it's curry
It looks a bit different, right?
It feels like the ingredients are covered under the sauce
That's right
(Thinking hard)
It's a bit spicy while eating it?
One of the benefits of curry is
The food is coming out really fast
(Quick delivery)
I think it's almost as soon as you order it?
Isn't it amazing?
There are so many menus
(Peaceful meal time)
I think it's garlic. All the ones on the top
Right? It's garlic, right?
It's like garlic curry
I like it because of the garlic
It doesn't taste greasy
If you eat a lot of curry, it's a bit greasy
But I think the garlic kind of catches it
I like it, personally
(Chewing)
I think it's a bit different from the Indian style
It's a curry I've never tried before
It's my first time eating style curry
It's definitely an unfamiliar taste
But considering that it's unfamiliar,
I don't think it tastes weird or anything
Maybe it's because of garlic
But I'm definitely not resistant
Just garlic-flavored curry?
Doesn't it taste fishy?
The garlic scent is so strong that it catches the fishy taste
It balances the flavor
I kind of expected
to dip it
This one isn’t the best for dipping
(Hesitation)
-It's strong, right? -Right
This one feels like it goes perfectly with rice
You have to eat it with rice
Have you ever tried Pakistani curry somewhere else?
No, it's my first time
It might not be Pakistani curry
(Raising suspicion)
Oh, so is the name Pakistani only?
This restaurant just
A reinterpretation created by the restaurant
That might be true
But even considering that, it's not bad
Actually pretty good
I think the reinterpretation turned out pretty well
(Success)
Do you think you will come to eat again?
This one?
I think I will come
How about you? Will you come again?
If someone asks me to come eat...
I think I will
- You don't have much resistance? - No, I don’t
It's just a simple and safe flavor
For Korean people to eat
(???)
Isn't curry supposed to have curry powder in it?
It should
Since it's curry
Curry powder and some other ingredients, too
Maybe they put in something else?
If you go to places like India or Thailand
They use a lot of ingredients like coconut
I don’t think this has any coconut taste
Not at all
It's not sweet
(Pausing)
What do you think? Compared to the Cha Chaan Teng you had every day near the office
Is it good?
I feel like Cha Chaan Teng food is just good in general
I do get curious about some other menus
because it's quite satisfying
I think you should try it at a steamed Pakistani restaurant next time
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea
Do you want to go together?
(Reaction malfunction)
Oh, Pakistan...
(Indirect rejection)
I usually don't have resistance to food
but Pakistan is a bit...
You've heard about this too
Should we go to Chungking Mansion?
Pakistani cuisine isn’t bad
It wasn’t bad at all
The curry was really delicious
so I was very satisfied
It made me want to try authentic Pakistani food next time
-It could be that kind of place -Really
Pakistan...
I haven’t tried it before
but this is a good opportunity
I think it wouldn’t be bad to try it again
I'll make sure to invite you next time
(28,944 KRW) The total came out to 154 dollars
which means each person spent about 70 dollars
The price is pretty much the same as a regular Cha Chaan Teng
with almost no difference
The taste was also quite mild and easy to enjoy
So, next time, we’ll continue our journey
by finding an even better place
Goodbye
