(Wide-eyed)
Is it delicious?
Hmm, it's good!
It's tasty!
(Hong Kong Lunch)
(Istanbul, Turkiye) Hello, this is Istanbul lunch
When you look on the internet,
of course, you have to eat kebab when you come to Turkey
Other kebabs are just a bit...,
Ah... they were okay,
but not so much that,
you must eat them here...
There were many unexpected tasting reviews
This kebab, though,
everyone says you have to try it in Istanbul
So we’re off to
find the best spot
and see what this famous kebab
is all about
(Quiet alley)
Wow!
(Exterior)
It's really tiny
There's really no place to sit
(Takeout specialty)
Your favorite, mackerel
I really love mackerel
So I'm really looking forward to it
Honestly, even before coming to Istanbul,
-I sang about this. -Yeah
Mackerel kebab
(The only seat in the restaurant)
(Grill once, then wrap)
Actually, making it is really simple
Just grill the mackerel,
and just put it in
-What should we add? -Wouldn't we add vegetables?
Yeah
It's true
(Lots of vegetables)
Add sauce once
(Arrange)
(Spice powder)
(Add sauce once more)
(Card payment available)
(Expecting)
Ah, just seeing it made me so happy
The famous mackerel I've been craving is right here
-Is it that much? -I'm so looking forward to it now
The price is very reasonable
One for 220 TRY
With how much prices have gone up in Turkey,
this price?
Honestly, pretty solid
(Value for money leader)
(Surprised)
-Delicious! -Yeah, delicious!
It's tasty
There's really a whole mackerel inside
Oh, with just one fish..
One chunk..
A whole one
I saw them grilling earlier,
they debone each one,
so it's super easy to eat
It's a kebab with just boneless fillet
(Boneless mackerel)
But in my opinion..
Koreans eat a lot of mackerel, right?
Yeah
So they might like it
But do Hong Kong people
really think this is tasty?
(Thinking)
We do eat mackerel
but not that much, right?
-Hong Kong people don't grill mackerel like this -Yeah
This concept might be unfamiliar
It's not fishy
At all
(Fresh)
-I think we ordered two well -Right?
Even the salad
-It smells a bit like perilla leaves -Yeah
A bit of mint scent..
Yeah, there's a bit of mint scent
It’s like wrapping grilled mackerel
- in perilla leaves -Yeah
The sauce on the side is a bit like kimchi
(Perfect harmony)
As expected, this is a menu Koreans like
When Koreans see it, they all say it's delicious
It was really tasty
But the shop isn't that big
There's only one table outside
So we're sitting and eating now because there are no people
It seems like most people get takeout
It's really impressive now
Cars keep passing by next to us
And we're eating right now
It's an amazing experience
(The fate of alley restaurants)
Honestly, before coming here,
mackerel kebab...
I'd never even heard of it
So I was a bit like..
Mackerel kebab?
If you're overseas
and suddenly miss Korea
and Korean food,
this right here will hit the spot
Is it that good?
Wow, this is really delicious
Compared to other regions in Turkey,
especially in Istanbul,
mackerel kebab is famous
Because you know how the Bosphorus runs through Istanbul?
It’s basically the sea,
so they catch tons of mackerel here
That’s why you’ll find so many fresh mackerel dishes,
and one of them is this mackerel kebab
Just had a bite,
the mackerel’s so fresh
and seriously delicious
Oh, are you giving it to me?
Thank you so much
There's no one here
I thought it was just some random spot,
-but it was actually amazing -What a twist
I think I'll come here again
I'm already leaving tomorrow morning
You must eat this in the morning
It was so delicious
It was an unforgettable taste
It’s got a bit of a unique twist,
but not too much,
-it still feels familiar, -Right
and I think that’s what made it so good
That combination
looks very unfamiliar
But the taste is actually
-a taste we know -we know the taste
Yes, yes
We ordered two kebabs,
and the total came out to 440 TRY (About 14,964 KRW)
-Yes -The cost-effectiveness is so good
-It's the best -And even with a whole fish in each,
it was still that affordable
So next time, let's find a more delicious place
Let's continue our Istanbul trip
Bye Bye
