193
00:04:31.667 --> 00:04:32.867
No, if it gets caught in your throat..

194
00:04:32.867 --> 00:04:33.617
The powder?

195
00:04:33.617 --> 00:04:34.417
[Understood]

196
00:04:34.817 --> 00:04:36.617
You really are an expert from eating so much

197
00:04:36.617 --> 00:04:38.717
I really love tiramisu so much

198
00:04:39.017 --> 00:04:40.517
We were originally going to order

199
00:04:40.517 --> 00:04:41.517
two desserts

200
00:04:41.517 --> 00:04:43.267
But two seems a bit much

201
00:04:43.267 --> 00:04:44.667
Isn't one just enough?

202
00:04:44.667 --> 00:04:46.017
It's not a small portion either

203
00:04:46.017 --> 00:04:47.317
Splitting them half and half

204
00:04:47.317 --> 00:04:48.667
 feels just right

205
00:04:48.667 --> 00:04:50.717
But this also has quite a bit of alcohol taste

206
00:04:50.717 --> 00:04:51.967
There's a bit of alcohol smell

207
00:04:51.967 --> 00:04:53.667
Some of them don’t taste like alcohol, and some definitely do

208
00:04:53.667 --> 00:04:55.666
There are some that don't,

209
00:04:55.666 --> 00:04:56.616
but at places like this,

210
00:04:56.616 --> 00:04:58.366
they usually have that alcohol taste

211
00:04:58.366 --> 00:04:59.866
Are you okay with it? Is it tasty?

212
00:04:59.866 --> 00:05:00.866
[Preference survey]

213
00:05:00.866 --> 00:05:03.066
I'm not really a fan of alcohol,

214
00:05:03.066 --> 00:05:04.716
so it's nice if it doesn't have it, but this is tasty too

215
00:05:05.166 --> 00:05:06.316
It gives me a bit of energy

216
00:05:06.316 --> 00:05:07.316
[Sugar charge]

217
00:05:08.166 --> 00:05:09.366
We completely finished eating

218
00:05:09.366 --> 00:05:10.366
Did you enjoy your meal?

219
00:05:10.366 --> 00:05:11.666
I enjoyed it very much

220
00:05:11.666 --> 00:05:12.716
It was perfect

221
00:05:13.216 --> 00:05:15.116
It was really, really, really delicious

222
00:05:15.116 --> 00:05:17.366
I can't give a detailed evaluation,

223
00:05:17.366 --> 00:05:18.066
but you'll see

224
00:05:18.066 --> 00:05:19.066
Right

225
00:05:19.716 --> 00:05:21.642
You'll see why he's overreacting like this

226
00:05:21.842 --> 00:05:22.942
Personally, it’s been a while

227
00:05:22.942 --> 00:05:24.292
since I left a pasta place

228
00:05:24.292 --> 00:05:25.792
- feeling this full
- I'm full now

229
00:05:25.792 --> 00:05:27.892
I'm so full, the portions were seriously big

230
00:05:27.892 --> 00:05:29.092
But it's not just a large portion,

231
00:05:29.092 --> 00:05:30.542
it was also really delicious

232
00:05:30.542 --> 00:05:31.942
It was really delicious

233
00:05:31.942 --> 00:05:32.742
[Indescribable]

234
00:05:32.742 --> 00:05:34.692
I loved how you could

235
00:05:34.692 --> 00:05:36.192
 actually taste all the ingredients

236
00:05:36.192 --> 00:05:37.492
and that was really good

237
00:05:37.492 --> 00:05:39.642
[About 114,800 KRW]
The price now is 629 dollars

238
00:05:39.642 --> 00:05:41.993
[About 55,000 KRW]
It comes to about 300 dollars per person

239
00:05:41.993 --> 00:05:43.043
But if you come on a weekday,

240
00:05:43.043 --> 00:05:44.943
you can get the lunch set

241
00:05:44.943 --> 00:05:45.743
 for about half the price

242
00:05:45.743 --> 00:05:46.743
You get the full course as a set..

243
00:05:46.743 --> 00:05:47.843
Right

244
00:05:47.843 --> 00:05:49.343
For that price, the lunch set

245
00:05:49.343 --> 00:05:50.143
 is honestly such a good deal

246
00:05:50.143 --> 00:05:51.543
Isn't it?

247
00:05:51.543 --> 00:05:53.343
Next time, we'll find an even better place to eat,

248
00:05:53.343 --> 00:05:55.693
