1
00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:02,720
(Main menu arrival)

2
00:00:04,465 --> 00:00:05,885
(Opening soon)

3
00:00:07,963 --> 00:00:09,160
(Hong Kong Lunch)

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,940
(Istanbul, Türkiye)
Hello, this is Istanbul Dinner

5
00:00:11,940 --> 00:00:13,640
As soon as we arrived in Istanbul,

6
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,440
the reason we immediately found this place is

7
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:15,922
it was a sensation

8
00:00:15,923 --> 00:00:16,793
Looking at Google reviews,

9
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,040
there are over 12,000

10
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:20,840
And the reviews are very good,

11
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:22,899
and they say you can taste authentic

12
00:00:22,899 --> 00:00:24,780
Turkish food here,

13
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,260
so we decided to visit

14
00:00:26,340 --> 00:00:27,480
For our first meal in Turkey,

15
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,300
we should start with real Turkish food like this

16
00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:29,919
Yes

17
00:00:30,279 --> 00:00:30,860
First of all..

18
00:00:31,247 --> 00:00:33,167
We really like the city

19
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,360
It's so pretty and beautiful,

20
00:00:35,540 --> 00:00:36,839
and the people are very friendly

21
00:00:36,839 --> 00:00:37,539
Right

22
00:00:38,515 --> 00:00:39,895
(Türkiye's national bread)

23
00:00:43,683 --> 00:00:45,183
(Typical Istanbul alley)

24
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,360
Walking through the neighborhood alley,

25
00:00:48,620 --> 00:00:49,720
it's like a painting

26
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,200
Almost all of Istanbul has the sea in front of it

27
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,079
I think it's amazing

28
00:00:53,299 --> 00:00:54,240
Isn't it so pretty though?

29
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,579
Wow, being this close to the sea

30
00:00:57,019 --> 00:00:59,160
Everyone is moving forward

31
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,520
We arrived after just a 10-minute walk

32
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,379
(Friendly gentleman)

33
00:01:06,339 --> 00:01:06,940
Really pretty

34
00:01:06,940 --> 00:01:08,000
Oh, so pretty

35
00:01:09,299 --> 00:01:10,640
(Cat sleeping)

36
00:01:14,464 --> 00:01:16,564
(Various menu)

37
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,400
Thank you

38
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,640
I'm really curious about this

39
00:01:29,140 --> 00:01:31,100
It's a drink called Ayran with mint

40
00:01:31,357 --> 00:01:32,580
(Typical Turkish drink)

41
00:01:32,580 --> 00:01:33,900
-Oh, it's yogurt
-It's yogurt

42
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:35,840
(Hummus)

43
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,059
(Freshly baked bread)

44
00:01:37,259 --> 00:01:38,179
Wow, it's really big

45
00:01:38,639 --> 00:01:40,239
This is like a hollow bread,

46
00:01:40,239 --> 00:01:41,540
-Right, right
-nothing inside

47
00:01:41,540 --> 00:01:42,820
Oh, there's steam coming out

48
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,459
If you press it, steam comes out

49
00:01:45,317 --> 00:01:46,977
(Expectation)

50
00:01:47,157 --> 00:01:48,219
It's very chewy

51
00:01:48,735 --> 00:01:49,975
(with hummus)

52
00:01:50,739 --> 00:01:51,739
The taste is different

53
00:01:51,739 --> 00:01:52,331
Different?

54
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,920
This is really the texture I like

55
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,740
When you go to traditional markets in Korea,

56
00:01:58,060 --> 00:01:58,819
they used to sell a lot of these in the past

57
00:01:58,819 --> 00:01:59,599
Old-fashioned hotteok

58
00:01:59,759 --> 00:02:00,759
Old-fashioned hotteok with honey inside

59
00:02:01,102 --> 00:02:02,162
(Nostalgia)

60
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:05,320
The olives are really fresh

61
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,020
Freshness you can't find in Asia

62
00:02:07,698 --> 00:02:09,878
(Main dish arrives)

63
00:02:11,570 --> 00:02:12,990
(Ta-da)

64
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,140
This is the kebab

65
00:02:18,140 --> 00:02:18,800
Wait a minute

66
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,900
The kebab that combines beef and lamb

67
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:22,325
together

68
00:02:22,620 --> 00:02:23,459
This is really

69
00:02:23,779 --> 00:02:25,200
Like some chicken..

70
00:02:25,699 --> 00:02:26,600
It looks like dakgalbi

71
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,539
Oh, the visual

72
00:02:27,939 --> 00:02:29,120
is like the ingredients used in pasta

73
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:29,920
I think it's similar

74
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:30,880
The visual looks like that

75
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,699
but the sauce is like the one we use

76
00:02:32,699 --> 00:02:33,759
when we make pasta

77
00:02:34,359 --> 00:02:34,879
Is it delicious?

78
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:36,260
Really, the sauce, that tomato..

79
00:02:36,420 --> 00:02:37,859
It's very similar to pasta sauce

80
00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:39,600
Even with cheese on top

81
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,060
It's a much upgraded taste

82
00:02:42,020 --> 00:02:42,859
It's a kebab

83
00:02:43,279 --> 00:02:44,560
but there's also something like rice

84
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:45,799
What kind of meat was this?

85
00:02:45,979 --> 00:02:47,600
This is beef and lamb

86
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:48,460
A combination of beef and lamb

87
00:02:49,721 --> 00:02:50,600
Oh?

88
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,399
It's unique

89
00:02:51,399 --> 00:02:52,399
It has a unique smell

90
00:02:52,399 --> 00:02:53,220
Yes, yes

91
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,439
I just got a strong Turkish scent

92
00:02:55,719 --> 00:02:56,539
It's the spice

93
00:02:56,719 --> 00:02:57,359
Is it the spice?

94
00:02:57,659 --> 00:02:59,959
But I really love lamb

95
00:03:00,399 --> 00:03:01,000
So

96
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,059
-But it doesn't seem like the lamb smell
-Yeah

97
00:03:03,499 --> 00:03:05,419
Comparing like that, I think this is better

98
00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:06,659
We ordered well, one familiar thing

99
00:03:06,699 --> 00:03:08,100
and one that's a bit of a challenge

100
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,820
But also a bit of lamb..

101
00:03:11,044 --> 00:03:12,384
If you don't prefer

102
00:03:12,384 --> 00:03:13,340
- Don't order this
- Not easy, right?

103
00:03:13,340 --> 00:03:14,319
Not easy, not easy

104
00:03:16,019 --> 00:03:16,819
It's delicious

105
00:03:16,819 --> 00:03:18,339
But be careful, it's a bit spicy

106
00:03:18,339 --> 00:03:19,759
But the most delicious among these is

107
00:03:19,759 --> 00:03:20,760
For me, it's this kebab

108
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,919
At first, I was a bit reluctant

109
00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:25,239
But as I ate, I found it delicious

110
00:03:25,979 --> 00:03:27,613
Wow, it's really substantial inside

111
00:03:27,613 --> 00:03:28,933
(Huge grilled vegetables)

112
00:03:30,004 --> 00:03:30,900
(Making kebab)

113
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:31,959
Put it in slightly

114
00:03:31,959 --> 00:03:32,959
Can I eat it like that?

115
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:33,560
Right

116
00:03:34,060 --> 00:03:34,879
Wrap kebab

117
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:38,240
Personally, I think it's much tastier to eat together

118
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:38,739
Oh, really?

119
00:03:38,739 --> 00:03:40,699
When eaten together, the meat's aroma

120
00:03:40,699 --> 00:03:41,740
doesn't feel that strong

121
00:03:41,740 --> 00:03:43,180
- Oh
- Mixed with other ingredients

122
00:03:43,660 --> 00:03:45,160
(Turkish tea)

123
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,300
Everyone says you must try Turkish tea when you come

124
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:49,880
(Curiosity)

125
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:50,560
Oh?

126
00:03:50,561 --> 00:03:51,561
Is it Bolay?

127
00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:53,300
It's a familiar taste

128
00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:54,179
What, really?

129
00:03:54,919 --> 00:03:56,240
I'm familiar with this taste

130
00:03:56,620 --> 00:03:57,300
What, it's real?

131
00:03:57,300 --> 00:03:58,060
It's Bolay

132
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,020
It's similar to the Chinese tea we know well

133
00:04:01,020 --> 00:04:01,860
So, it's delicious

134
00:04:02,220 --> 00:04:02,959
Good

135
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:04,980
It feels like it settles your stomach after eating

136
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:06,300
It has a bit of a bitter taste

137
00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:07,300
Ah, slightly

138
00:04:08,085 --> 00:04:09,625
(Adding sugar)

139
00:04:11,939 --> 00:04:12,739
It's strange

140
00:04:12,739 --> 00:04:13,399
It's too sweet

141
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:15,280
This is Turkish dessert

142
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:16,399
It's really a mouthful

143
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:18,240
The top looks like pistachio powder

144
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,579
What's inside?

145
00:04:19,859 --> 00:04:20,559
Oh

146
00:04:20,980 --> 00:04:22,220
It makes a crispy sound

147
00:04:22,220 --> 00:04:24,000
At the end, it sounds like there's some syrup

148
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,500
I think it has a slightly sweet taste now

149
00:04:25,764 --> 00:04:26,564
(ASMR)

150
00:04:28,825 --> 00:04:29,865
(Tilting head)

151
00:04:30,540 --> 00:04:32,120
What is this sweetness? It's not honey

152
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:34,000
I feel a honey-like sweetness

153
00:04:35,539 --> 00:04:36,419
Wow

154
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,200
It's kind of like mochi inside

155
00:04:38,201 --> 00:04:38,920
Ohhhh

156
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,980
It's not the picture I expected

157
00:04:41,634 --> 00:04:43,014
(Baklava)

158
00:04:44,003 --> 00:04:45,363
(???)

159
00:04:45,899 --> 00:04:47,660
The portion is quite large

160
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,220
I tried to eat as much as possible

161
00:04:49,221 --> 00:04:50,000
But with the jet lag and all

162
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,299
I couldn't eat it all

163
00:04:51,299 --> 00:04:52,700
Honestly, the portion was too much

164
00:04:52,700 --> 00:04:54,399
- I felt a bit of reluctance
- Ohhhh

165
00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:55,700
On the contrary, it was too much

166
00:04:55,700 --> 00:04:57,479
So I thought of something

167
00:04:57,479 --> 00:04:59,260
How about eating only two meals a day

168
00:04:59,780 --> 00:05:00,680
Instead of three

169
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,140
But when I heard the waiter talking briefly earlier

170
00:05:03,140 --> 00:05:04,699
Because inflation in Turkey is too severe

171
00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:06,779
- the food prices keep changing
- Yes

172
00:05:06,779 --> 00:05:08,899
So I think the price wasn't really that cheap

173
00:05:09,359 --> 00:05:11,679
(About 89,310 won in Korean money)
It came out to about 2,600 lira

174
00:05:11,679 --> 00:05:12,259
Wow..

175
00:05:12,259 --> 00:05:13,959
It's definitely cheaper than Hong Kong

176
00:05:13,959 --> 00:05:16,100
- But it's not extremely cheap
- That's right

177
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:18,479
Actually, surprisingly, it was very expensive

178
00:05:18,479 --> 00:05:20,080
So next time we'll find a tastier place

179
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,200
We'll continue our Istanbul trip

180
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,500
Bye bye

181
00:05:24,601 --> 00:05:37,159
(HKL's three-line review
1. A popular restaurant in Istanbul
2. More than two servings compared to Hong Kong
3. Prices more expensive than expected)
