(Eating sausage)
The sausage tastes different, right?
Did you like it?
(Happy smile)
(Hong Kong lunch)
(Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong)
Well, actually..
They say there are a lot of delicious places around here,
so I really wanted to bring a professional cook here
to eat
Because ordinary people don't know whether it is truly a good restaurant
So that was me
That's right, that was you
Since you cook
I can provide an objective review
You're right, you're right
maybe a little...
I wish I can be of help
Exactly
(Enter)
There's a QR code in the middle of the table for orders
It's simply laid out like this
(Notice)
Is it in English?
This isn't, right?
English is..
Ah, there's not much English here..
There isn't
That's a bit disappointing
There's no English at all
I'm not that good at English, but still,
I'm kind of flustered right now?
Because there's no English
(Flustered)
But still..
The photos are quite clear
Photos of the food,
I'm guessing we can just look at these?
Then should I just choose anything
that I want to try?
We should each order one dish,
and one drink each
and if there's a snack or something you can add in the middle,
let's order that too
Taiwan is quite close,
to Hong Kong,
so..
Huh, what?
(???)
It's out already?
Oh oh
Does it come out this quickly?
Yeah, right
(Surprised)
Isn't this a revolution?
You seemed very surprised
As a restaurant owner, what is this situation?
This coming out so quickly
(Listening to opinions)
-Is this... -Possible?
It is possible, but
I mean
So
Either they've really set up the system well
Or they made it in advance
Well, the taste..
Have to see first
Yeah, I have to see
Wow, this looks really delicious
This seems like one of their signatures
Kind of rice with meat, sausage, and egg together?
Rice type?
This sausage looked quite tasty
Right
Taiwanese sausage is actually delicious
But it feels like I've tried something like this
Yeah, yeah
This... this kind of meat
Usually eat a lot, right
You eat this kind of meat with rice
Right, I feel like I've eaten this a lot
But they give a lot of rice
Yeah, they give a lot
This is now..
(12,782 won) Isn't it $68?
It's $68
(Thinking)
There's something unique about this restaurant
People didn't greet me in Cantonese earlier
Really?
They greeted in Chinese
-In Chinese? -Yeah
Really, then are they Taiwanese?
It seems like they could be
So I thought huh?
I thought... what?
They usually greet in Cantonese
Right
But if it's really a restaurant run by Taiwanese people
It's actually a bit more trustworthy
It's kind of close to the real original, isn't it?
Right
It's the same for us
Now that I work at a Korean restaurant,
When there's a real Korean person,
compared to just local people,
Yeah, yeah
Customers feel it more than you'd think
Ohhhhhhh
If there's a Korean person,
Oh? There's a real Korean person
Right, right, right
Is it that kind of feeling?
Definitely gives some credibility
Right, right, right
(Late lunch)
I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know, but for now,
At this level now, everything..
There are families, couples,
and people alone
If it's a restaurant that encompasses everything, then,
the expectations rise a bit
(Expert's approval)
But if there are this many people now,
isn't it quite a lot, actually?
During late lunch time,
Right, honestly, but,
Honestly, the location isn't quite...,
I don't think it's good
Earlier, these people came up here and,
they have to come in, right?
Considering that, for this kind of place,
I think it's okay
I think there are quite... quite a lot of people?
Considering the time?
(Main 2 arrives)
Is it just the fried chicken coming out?
Right
Did you know it was like this?
No, I didn't know
Doesn't it look delicious?
Oh, really?
I'll give you one
(Relief)
Oh, chicken..
They give you a lot
It did take some time to fry, actually, but,
Don't you want to try this one?
Take this with you
I know what that tastes like
Just give me a little
I know this tastes like soy sauce meat, actually
There's a bit of fat
This is now..
You, how should I say..
While doing this..
You're trying to help, right?
- What did this taste like? - Right, right, right
It's delicious
The rice is
It goes well with rice
It feels like a Taiwanese-style rice dish
(nodding)
What does nodding mean?
This is a bit
(hesitating)
How should I say..
It tastes good
But it's a bit distinctive..
Should I say the taste of chunjang is a bit strong?
Chunjang?
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Or is it a bit polarizing?
Right, some people may like it while others may not
The standard of whether it's delicious or not is kind of
Isn't it that?
That's how I feel
Whether the seasoning is right or not
That's kind of the standard for me
How's the seasoning?
The seasoning is right
The seasoning is good for eating with rice
Around me, especially
(Storytelling)
There are a few people who do not like the smell of meat
The smell of meat?
Yeah
What should I say..
But when I was in Korea, I didn't know
But
In Hong Kong, meat is relatively cheap, right?
But when you go in and wonder why is it so cheap?
It's because there is
sort of a fishy taste
The meat,
- Should I call it the gamey smell? - It's there, it's there, it's there
There are many dishes that have that smell
Here, it seems like there isn't that taste
Yeah, the meat
Doesn't seem to have a smell
(Eating sausage)
It's different, right?
Do you like this?
Ah, this is delicious
It's tasty
People who like this really like it
Is this Taiwanese sausage?
This is Taiwanese-style sausage
Is it famous?
It has a slightly sweet taste, doesn't it?
Oh, this is really good
I liked it
(Satisfied)
(eating chicken)
Try the chicken
How's the chicken?
It's freshly made, right away
It's warm
Hong Kong people really like Korean-style chicken
They do
But isn't this just as good?
Does it feel similar to Korean style?
In my opinion,
When you eat Taiwanese-style chicken,
they put a lot of spice on the outside
In Chinese-speaking countries,
it seems they don't use strong flavors like that here
(last batter)
It's like a combo set with fried things
Everything is here
Oh, it's everywhere, this too
Is this fried mushroom?
I think this is mushroom, this is fried mushroom
Wow, the fried stuff is really good
But this one
It would be nice if there was something like soy sauce
That is a bit disappointing
Right, there's no sauce
(looking around)
But this needs something to dip in and eat..
Kind of like that
It is
It feels a bit lacking
(sausage killer)
It seems like that's the one you have
Then it must be really tasty
(Happy)
Is it good?
Honestly, the sausage here is the best
It's really hard to find this kind of sausage in Korea
Oh, you can't find it in Korea
(Slowing down)
First of all, the portion is large
The portion is really big
This, I..
We ordered one side dish for the middle,
We almost didn't need to order it, actually
The rice portion is also huge
Even though two adult men came now,
We almost can't finish our own meals
This is really a bit
for people who work out..
People who exercise a lot would come and eat this amount
It's that kind of portion
The sausage is the most delicious
(Praising the sausage)
Suddenly I'm curious, is there perhaps
a sausage rice dish here?
A rice dish with only sausage,
if it's available, I'll order that next time
(Checking)
No, no, no
Ah, there's something, right?
There's no sausage rice
I think the signature dish here is the sausage
Were you satisfied?
Oh, I'm going crazy, I'm full
The portion is really big, right?
Yeah, it's really a lot
And actually, the food seems to be tasty too
At that level..
One more time,
it's worth going to
worth revisiting
that kind of place?
Because you're curious about the other dishes
Yeah, yeah
(39,287 KRW) Now the price came out to be 209 dollars,
we each ordered one dish,
and in the middle, we ordered something we can share,
like a fried dish
Right?
The price isn't that bad, actually, right?
In the 60 dollar range,
I feel like it came out cheaper than I thought
So next time, we'll find a tastier place,
and continue our Hong Kong trip
