This again..
Please explain this
So there..
Genitals...ball
(Hong Kong Lunch)
(Yangshuo, China)
Hello
This is a Yangshuo Dinner
It seems like hot pot is popular everywhere in China
Yes
Here in the Yangshuo region... only
very famous
Hot pot with 8 parts of a cow
In Chinese
Beef
Eight
Treasures
(Unison)
We're going to try eating it
It's a bit special, so I'm looking forward to it
So first of all… we’ve made it
right into the heart of Yangshuo
There's a huge shopping mall behind
But further back
behind that, there's a mountain
It's really amazing
-Really amazing -It's amazing how close it is to the mountain
It's amazing
Anyway, let's go in
There are people
A lot of people
(Local people dining)
There are people upstairs too
The locals here
eat these 8
“treasures”
but the real question is, are they really treasures to us?
(Suspicion)
The first is beef
The second is..
lung?
And third is
trachea
The third is
brain
So we didn't order it
Can you
eat cow organs?
I don't know, I haven't tried it
And for now,
beef liver is okay,
I get it,
but this one again,
Please explain this
It's the genitals of cow...
-Ball -But...
To us,
is it really a treasure?
So I'm sorry, but we left it out
I don't think I can really eat it
It's not easy
So for now... even the landlord
told us to just order what we can eat
So we just
-ordered -That's right, that's right,
a blant beef
Something familiar
-What's interesting is the table is really low -Yeah
It's like a kindergarten chair
It feels really like kindergarten
It seems like a kindergarten chair
If you sit like this,
you have to crouch when you eat
(Demonstration)
Ordered half with mala sauce like this
and half with real fish
To those who are joining our table
might it be a little fishy
First..
When you come to a place like this
you should go to a local place
So we ordered a combo of three
and ended up with this much meat
We ordered enough for four people
but can we really finish all this?
It's really a concern
This is
just beef
This one’s the kind of for patties
with a lot of fat
It's a beef patty
This is..
-Beef tripe -It's beef tripe
If you come to Yangshuo,
taro is quite famous here
This is
the local taro here
(Start)
Not bad
It's not that spicy
But rather than spicy...
Oh, it's spicy
- It gets spicy as you eat it - Describe the taste a bit
The taste is..
The meat is chewy, very much so
Should I say it's... fresh?
(Thinking deeply)
You can really taste the meat
Wow
Isn't it delicious?
The meat is delicious
But it’s super chewy, right?
Don’t expect it to be like super soft, tender meat
Oh, but wait a second
As I keep eating the mala, it's definitely a bit spicy
Oh, really?
It seems to build up
It's not spicy at all
Oh, maybe it’s because I dipped it in the sauce
Maybe the sauce is spicy?
That could be it
You see chilies floating around in the sauce
Here, they really grind the chilies
-and make potatoes like that -Right
Inside, first of all
having tomato and mala together is very fresh
But it's delicious
(Thinking)
I usually don't like blood sausage
but this beef blood sausage
I think I should try it
(A courageous challenge)
Oh? There's no fishy taste
Oh, really?
Surprisingly,
is it a bit different from duck blood sausage?
Duck blood sausage definitely has a fishy taste,
but this doesn't have a fishy taste
Oh, then it might not taste good
When you eat duck blood sausage,
it's honestly for that fishy taste
This just feels like jelly,
just black jelly
(Evaluating)
It really has no taste
If we talk about the difference from other places,
in other places, even if you eat it, it sticks together a lot
and is round and round
but here, it feels like it falls apart as soon as you eat it
That’s actually because
they don’t use artificial… like, plastic stuff
Right, right
That's actually a good thing, actually
It's fresher
One thing that might catch you off guard
while eating at a restaurant here, especially in China
is that sometimes, you’ll smell cigarette smoke
Oh, right
Because people can smoke even in restaurants
Oh, it's not allowed originally
-Oh, it's not allowed originally? -It's not allowed by law
But why are there so many people smoking?
It seems like everyone's smoking
Wow
It's really fresh
What was this, pork liver?
It's pork liver
You have to put it in something spicy so it doesn't taste too fishy
But if it's a countryside restaurant
you might be suspicious of the food quality
But the food is just delicious
It seems much fresher than what you eat in the city
The restaurants next door are really empty
But only here
there are a few more tables upstairs
It's the go-to restaurant
for people living in the area
A true local spot
(Tasting pork liver)
Oh
It's really fresh
Really? Pork liver?
You can tell
the pork liver is fresh
just by the color
And if it's fresh, it's really
chewy
Right
I actually wanted to try various parts of the cow
but the staff here didn't recommend it
so I didn't
But the other common parts were really delicious
(44,695 KRW) Now, the price came out to 237 dollars
Considering the amount we ate,
it's really unreasonable that it came out to that
It's really a quarter of Hong Kong?
We ate so cheaply, so I feel really good
So next time, we'll find a more delicious place
and continue our journey in China
