This is just jjambbong
Jjambbong, right?
I told you
It's jjambbong
This is good
Agreed
(Hong Kong Lunch)
Hello, it's lunch in Penang, Malayisa
We're having our second lunch today
There are so many delicious things
We're eating little by little to eat more food
That's what we're doing now
So this place is called 888 Hokkien Mee
It's a restaurant
Two separate friends
that are living in Penang recommended this place
This place
only opens at 3 o'clock
But still it's packed with people now
(Outside)
(Where they sell noodles)
(Where they sell omlets)
I'm quite confused
No one is coming to our table
I know
Unlike other places we went...
I should ask to a friend who lives in Penang
(Preparing ingredients)
(Boil noodles)
(Add ingredients)
(Add broth)
(and spices)
(Meal ready)
The lady put in a lot of things
I have no idea
about what is what
And the most interesting thing is
There are two kinds of noodles mixed inside
(At the same time)
(Savoring)
It's just like jjambbong
Jjambbong, right?
I told you
It's just like jjambbong
This is pretty good
It is indeed
And it seems to have a slight sweetness
but not too much
The taste of seafood is more stronger than jjambbong
That's right
The two different noodles are so unique
They just put it in half and half
Oh, really?
It's not that we can choose it
Oh, is this the default?
They originally do this?
(Default setting)
(Thinking)
This is really delicious
When you look at the ingredients
there's pork, seafood, and dried shrimp
They seem like ingredients that wouldn't go well together,
Just like jjambbong, mixing it all up
But they go well together
So alike with jjambbong
The local person right before us added an egg
So I thought I should add an egg too
and I did
But then I realized,
there's already one slice here
There is
A small one, it is
It's not even that expensive for an egg, right?
(328 Korean won) 1 ringgit
(Good price)
It's delicious
I like this kind of drink
I learned
The term sugar-free in Malay
(Malay)
Dear viewers
I might be wrong,
but my Malaysian friend said it's called gosong
(Learning quickly)
Even the small set is not that small, I think
Yes
It might be a bit small for a full lunch meal
But if you add something like oyster pancake
it would taste even better
It's quite different from char kway teow
Right
That really was spicy
Right
This one is sweet
We can eat it too
So according to my Malaysian friend
this is one of the three foods you must eat in Penang
that you must eat in Penang
(Agreed)
(Oyster omelette)
(Plating)
(Including the sauce)
They stir-fried the eggs and oysters separately
Oh, really?
Yeah, they didn't fry them together
When we make kimchi pancakes or potato pancakes
we just mix everything and fry, right?
But instead, they fry the eggs
and separately fry the oysters next to it
and just combine them at the end
So this is actually
not an oyster pancake
It's just eating oysters and eggs together
I see
(New fact)
(One bite)
I noticed a feature here
They added glutinous rice inside
It has a chewy texture because of the glutinous rice
Oh, right
It's chewy, isn't it?
Is it starch?
Ah, it must be starch
Not glutinous rice
Oh, but it's chewier than yesterday
Each household definitely has its own style
Yeah
(Thoughtfully)
One thing to note when coming to places like this
is that even inside, there's no air conditioning
It's really hot outside
and it's actually similar inside
It turns out it's not only in Malaysia
but it's also in Singapore
They commonly eat it there too
But the colors are all different, isn't it?
It's shaved ice like a red bean bingsu,
with lots of toppings
ice cream
condensed milk,
and even corn
Oh, there's even corn
That's interesting
(Interesting combination)
It looks very sweet, even to me
(He loves sweets)
What?
It's sweet
When you take the first bite
you can really taste the flavor of red bean
But what I find a bit interesting is
the added corn
I thought I would taste the delicate corn flavour
it's a bit fascinating
(There's so many ingredients)
The most pronounced taste is corn
And cough syrup?
Yeah
Cough syrup?
That strawberry
That strawberry flavored
medicine you know
(another bite)
It...
It tastes like mouthwash
gargle
It's not my cup of tea
I see this food
as a symbol of Malaysian culture
because everything is mixed together
putting in every bit of something
creating something a bit new
That's the impression I get
(reinvention)
People say Penang, Malaysia is truly a city of gastronomy
After coming to this trip
I really feel that it's true
There's so much delicious food
and there's a lot to eat
Even when you come to places like this
you can sit in one place
and have the main dish to dessert
which is a great advantage
Moreover, it doesn't cost you that much
so everything about this Penang trip
was very satisfying
(Paid a total of 58MYR) For next time, we'll find more delicious places
and continue our gourmet journey
Bye-bye
