Korean LOBSTER PIZZA & Japanese KATSU CURRY | BEST PIZZA in The Country?!

hey guys mike chen here in seoul south korea going on another food adventure today any neighborhood you dive into in south korea it's going to have its own unique restaurants and eateries so i found a few restaurants near me that i think is going to be pretty amazing there's still a few hours before they open so i'm going to start my day off with something light and the sponsor of this video magic spoon i think cinnamon roll is my new favorite flavor anyway i've been talking about magic spoon for several years now it's still something i eat all the time when i'm home i often use this as a meal replacement when i don't want to eat something heavy for dinner or breakfast also i told you guys this i am obsessed with cereal i don't walk down cereal aisles in grocery stores because i know i'm too weak and i also know that in my age probably not the best to have both of pretty much pure sugar so i've been eating this before even telling you guys about it here's why i love it first of all it's ice cream it definitely satisfies that inner cereal monster that i know lives inside me plus each serving zero grams of sugar well the honey nut flavor has one gram of sugar 13 to 14 grams of protein 140 calories and only four net grams of carbs also was gluten free green free soy free low carb and keto friendly i think i showed you guys before i used to drink couple servings of protein powder a day now it just does trust me much more fun and tasty also it's never boring there's so many different flavors like blueberry cocoa fruity cookies and cream frosted peanut butter maple waffle cinnamon roll and you can choose your own variety box and fill it with whatever flavors you want so if you want to give it a try go to the link down below like i said you can build your own variety box and use my problem called mikey chan for five dollars off you can choose from all the flavors i mentioned before and now magic spring is actually adding honey nuts to their permanent collection so make sure to add honey nuts to your variety box and check it out also what i love about magic spring is that they have a hundred percent happiness guarantee so if you don't like it for whatever reason

management delivers there too all right i'm gonna finish this and um see you lunch [Music] is going to be an amazing food day first of all going to head to a korean pizza place that has amon other unique items lobster pizza then heading to a newly opened japanese restaurant that serves just a ginormous piece of yield over rice anyway i'm starving haven't eaten anything all day let's get this food day started right here at detroit pizza [Music] this place looks and smells amazing we've got a little tablet at your table you can start to order all right this i think is a musket it's a red pizza it says it's cooked as a secret sauce for 24 hours definitely getting that all right next look at this this is the lobster claw pizza lobster and spicy chipotle sauce heck yes there's also shrimp pizza corn italian sausage and bologna i wanted to get some pasta too one thing i love in south korea is the pasta there's more places to go so i'll stick with those two pizzas for now i can't wait for this they recommended drinking this famous soda company passion fruit australian made this is delicious actually tastes not very artificial covered in chilies jalapenos green peppers and loads of cheese wow check this out they bring the meat separately for the pizza look at this wow and as soon as the cover lifts you smell that amazing smokiness wow that smells so incredible and that thing just came off the bone like nothing and he's just slicing the rib table side and this is what's gonna go on top of the pizza how amazing is this [Music] and again the smoky smell from the meat is just intoxicating at this point [Music] and the sauce goes on top of the meat what a glorious looking pizza in the pizza itself it's a sicilian type pie squared caramelized crust looks like so much cheese and of course this amazing giant layer of meat freshly cut and placed on top and besides how good this meat smells look at the marbling on this thing and this is a tall slice of pizza again caramelized crust so pretty on the sides on the bottom loaded with sheets i don't think my mouth ever water for pizza i could dip at this holy freaking cow if you're coming to korea or thinking about coming to korea or you're in korea right now this is where you need to be the other pizza is here in one second wow look at this lobster pizza each piece has a giant lobster claw again jalapenos green peppers olives this time tons of melted cheese and also a tater tot underneath the claw of lobster she's that lobster fell on the table i'm not wasting now as i was saying if you're in korea right now or if you're thinking about coming here on your way here whatever your situation is this needs to be near or at top of your food bucket list if you like pizza where you like ribs where you're just a general fan of delicious awesome food holy this is good i mean i love the lobster pizza but the beef one is just gonna blow your mind away like right now i'm pretty sure i have no mind first of all the meat is just melts in your mouth tender i mean there's so much marbling on this meat just disintegrates when it touches your tongue that she's as high quality and just crushed i mean k-pop groups should be writing songs about this crush it looks a little intimidating because it's so tall but it's just pure air and the caramelized outside is better than any deep dish pizza i've had in the u.s in the lobster one again with that great crushed sweetness of the lobster tail it's just met with that fiery creamy chipotle sauce on top each piece absolutely amazing in its own way like this makes me want to try every other pizza in this place oh yeah definitely be back for more of this [Music] every three establishments is is a photo studio lot of photo studios so all the restaurants are on break right now found this cafe that serves crawford croissant waffle most importantly they serve it with ice cream and this brown cheese this cheese goes so well with any dessert item it goes well with coffee goes well with waffles pretty much anything sweet you put this magical cheese on it just tastes better i honestly haven't had a fresh crawfill it's such a long time this is one of my favorite things to eat in south korea this cheese is like tailor made for ice cream [Music] food is here and it's pretty first of all the tonkatsu in curry surrounding an island of rice with an egg yolk on top not really sure what kind of breading the kankasu is covered in but it looks perfectly cooked very juicy this is really really interesting get some of that yolk touching every grain of the rice get that inside the curry with a piece of the katsu that's delicious still not quite sure what is on the breading on the outside just that it's extremely crispy and the curry is absolutely magnificent some creamy egg inside the curry oh my gosh spicy thick rich and the heat is something that kind of gets you a few seconds after you put that curry in your mouth and he just ramps up the intensity for the next minute or so the meat is so juicy oh yeah it's cooked absolutely perfect i don't think there's too much additional flavor from the outside braiding it just provides such a great textural contrast makes such a delightful bite this not only looks pretty i thought when i saw the picture i'm thinking yeah i'm gonna go eat it because it looks really good this thing tastes as good as it looks and this is the yield i'm talking about they give you like a giant piece of yield over rice over tamago on the side they give you some seaweed to wrap the eel in let's just take a little piece of this here first of all oh this looks so good here i think i'm supposed to be cutting the yield [Music] [Music] that's really really really good the yield is especially perfect wow this thing is so smoky slightly sweet and the flavor just pours out as you chew i feel like the egg's a little too sweet for me but the eel with some of that crispy seaweed and rice absolute perfection and they give me a little bowl of soup and with uh with the eel looks like some daikon some pork in here it's okay favorite thing tonight definitely the tonkatsu and the curry yield a close second not a huge fan of the tamago again i think it's a little too sweet for me now what if we kind of mixed it up a little bit some nori eel and some of this curry rice fold that up change it with some of the kimchi wow now you got the spiciness of the crepe here with the sweet smoky flavor of the yeel that might be the best way to eat this yo for me anything touches that curry it's just going to be much better wow this curry is one of those things that's really hard to put down i mean the spice is just a perfect amount it's not overwhelming you still taste the great flavor of the curry and the meat but it hurts you just enough we just keep wanting to come back for a bit more punishment it's been about 20 minutes and the elder breading of the katsu is still so crispy and like usually concentrating is not just light this is absolutely phenomenal oh hundred percent come back to this and everything is so pretty too this place got such a nice vibe [Music] and after the awesome katsu and the yield right down the street check this out just ran into this place this is so great about walking around these neighborhoods look at this it's called shii it looks like a beef noodle soup place i don't know what that is i think this is sweet and sour pork and maple tofu i use some beef noodle soup [Music] all this is super affordable too so about seven dollars for beef noodle soup this is it beef noodles soup giant pieces of shank my chopsticks completely sinked into that these are nice pieces too look there's a piece of tinder right there that's a great piece i mean each of these giant pieces of beef is so freaking tender noodle looks good i asked for the maximum spiciness just added some vinegar to this now it's spicy it's nummy and sour as well that's good this beef is just legendary all right i put it on my mouth and i kind of just squished it to the roof of my mouth and my tongue the whole thing just disintegrated [Music] they also brought over some kung sheen's high that stuff is great this map with tofu some minced meat in here definitely tons of sauce [Music] [Applause] okay i got some mixed feelings about this on the one hand it's really spicy i asked for maximum spiciness and it freaking delivered this will burn you tons of minced meat here to tofu is extremely tender it all goes great with the rice it's numbing it's spicy and it's extremely flavorful my only problem with this it's really sweet the maple tofu i'm used to they're not supposed to be sweet i mean overall i think the flavor is really good if it was maybe 60 70 percent less sweet those would be absolutely perfect wow my tongue is on fire so much good flavor in the small temple wow they're definitely not messing around with that and this is a really interesting dish i'm not quite sure what this is i think it's some sort of stir-fried chicken with scallions and fried rice this dish definitely needs a little crispy garlic put some chilies on this too it's basically ground chicken and this is ah man i forgot the name of this vegetable we eat this a lot in chinese cooking it's um garlic sprouts garlic sprouts one of the most delicious vegetables out there let's just stir fry that on its own or stir-fry with meat the crunch is awesome it's got a little garlic flavor ah this is a great dish again that's sweet still so good [Music] i'm just punishing myself with some apple tofu right here i know a lot of dishes in korea are slightly sweet and that's just a whole preference thing like some people probably love it love the maple tofu i love this chicken dish with a bit more sweetness than i do growing up in northern china i'm just really not used to the sweetness but these are great dishes this is amazing restaurants so if you are in seoul and cream for some big noodle soup mafa tofu this is a really good place and if you like your spice i would recommend the level four maple tofu i mean it's gonna make you sweat it's gonna make your nose run but oh my goodness is it ever satisfying i kind of wish i saved the dessert for after this [Music] i love coming here looking at the new starbucks mugs this one is so cool it's like a big tulip [Music] mascarpone tiramisu barista milk cream cake these are all stuff that's only for korea and also mint chocolate chip blended peach and lemon blended yuja mint tea this is a lemon peach blended and it's so good the lemon is pretty much on the top the peaches on the bottom kind of like a peach and lemon icy slash juice shower and sweet real chunks of peaches in here every time i come to south korea go to starbucks to try out one of these like korea exclusive drinks this kind of makes you hate starbucks back in the u.s that's a really good cheesecake as well and this stuff changes all the time i mean i don't go to starbucks a lot in u.s but i think it's just the same stuff that repeats all the time nothing like this anyway as always i'll place that winter listed down below for you guys thank you all so much for watching until we eat again see you later
