I’m going to put it in
I'm so curious
(Magic powder)
(Happiness together)
Ah!
Ah... sweet potato
Is it sweet potato?
Sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato
Now I get it
(Hong Kong Lunch)
(Kwun Tong, Hong Kong)
Well, in this old building,
there are actually good restaurants hidden in Hong Kong
So I came here first to check it out
Especially in this Kwun Tong area,
there are so many good restaurants hidden in this building
So I wanted to
show you more of
Hong Kong’s culture
Do you like noodles?
Yes, I like them, I eat them often
Do you like noodles?
Okay
Then I think you'll really like it
(Entering inside)
This feels like a tasty Taiwanese spot
-here in Kwun Tong -Yes
-You also cook, right? -Yes
From a chief's perspective,
I want you to taste it
Got it
Are you confident about this?
No, I'm not
(Casting failure)
-It's just giving a try -Yes
I saw on Google reviews that
-this place was rated as super delicious -Yes
So I am looking forward to it
The menu is posted right out front
like this
(Entering)
Oh wow, it’s so cool
how the colors come in so many varieties
You can order like this
There is a piece of paper
It seems to be a format where you mark it and submit it
Ah, and the drinks are
-yellow -Yes
In the case of small dishes, it's pink
The main is white
Is a small dish something like a dessert?
-It's like a side dish -I got it
Something like fried chicken wings
that comes in small portions
(Order complete)
Aren't you too nervous?
Me?
It's my first time..
I can't say I wasn't nervous at all
Right, right
Now this is what we ordered
It's a slightly fermented egg
Try eating this
It will be a very good experience
You don't have to be too scared
Okay
It might be more familiar than you think
Should I eat it first?
Go ahead, eat it first
But if you just ferment it,
does it become transparent like this?
That's amazing
- But I don't know exactly how they make it - Yes
It definitely tastes different from the eggs I've had
Okay
(Nervous)
It's not bad
-Not bad? -Yes
I..
I don't really like boiled eggs
But I think it's much better than just plain boiled eggs
(Unexpected)
It's a little less dry and also..
Since it's seasoned like this,
I do like bland things
-I like the wasabi-like feeling -Ah
-That sharp feeling -Yeah
Since those are mixed,
it's much tastier
-Oh, nice -Right
This is..
Now beef..
Beef noodle soup
A classic dish
that’s super famous in traditional Taiwanese cuisine
We ordered one
Oh, this broth..
It's very rich
This might be one of the richest
beef noodle soups I’ve ever had
It's so good
Do you want to try some soup?
Can I try it?
(Expecting a reaction)
-Hmm... -Right, right?
-Isn't it rich? -Yes
(Proud)
This is..
We ordered a rice bowl dish
This is a rice bowl
mainly with pork neck meat
It's Taiwanese style
I just mix it all together, right?
Some people like to mix everything,
but according to your preference,
if you prefer it less mixed,
you can just eat it as it is
(Sauce appears)
They say to add the sauce together
If needed
This is somehow..
doesn't look like a sauce...
This is your first time trying Taiwanese food in your life
First off, the pork is really good
At first it just looks tender,
but you can see the outside
-is nice and crispy -Oh
I thought it’d be
really greasy,
but it actually has a hint of nutty flavor too
I want to try adding it
Aren't you curious?
(Magic powder)
(Shared happiness)
Ah!
Ah.. sweet potato!
Is it sweet potato?
Sweet potato, sweet potato, sweet potato
Now that you mention it,
they really do look like sweet potato colors
Yes, sweet potato powder
What is this again?
Smell it
It kind of smells like curry
-A smell I've smelled before -Oh, oh, oh
Lamb skewers!
The powder you sprinkle on lamb skewers
Right, right, right
It seems like parsley
I think it's parsley
Kind of like seaweed..
Yeah, it's kind of like that
I have no idea
(Experimental spirit)
But somehow..
it's too different
-Exactly -Yes
Oh, but I think it's fascinating
It’s pretty cool to see a place
that has powder like this on the side
I think that's one of the advantages of Hong Kong
The food is so..
-diverse -Yes, yes, yes
And you can eat Western food here
If you want, you can also try dishes
from different regions of China separately
Because of these advantages,
I think I've tried a lot of new things here
I think so too
Hmm...
For most people...
-it might actually feel a bit too generous in portion -Yeah
It doesn't feel small at all
(ASMR)
-The store isn't that big actually -Yes
The lighting is also quite dim
Is this the Taiwanese vibe?
I don't know about that
I don't know if this is the Taiwanese vibe
(Full house)
This place isn't bad, right?
Yes, it's delicious
The portions are generous, so I'm full
Oh, thank goodness
Usually at places like this,
-the portions can feel a bit small, -Yes
and honestly that’s my biggest concern
Sometimes
It's a relief to hear the portions are okay
The overall price is
-182 dollars (about 32,196 KRW), -Yes
-so it's about 90 dollars (about 15,921 KRW) per person -Yes
We each ordered a main dish
-and a side dish -Yes
-And even ordered drinks too -Yes
Considering all that, the price isn't bad, right?
Yes, I think it's okay
So next time, we'll find an even better place
and continue our trip in Hong Kong
