KOREAN McDonalds vs AMERICAN McDonalds (mukbang?)

I am what scientists refer to as an American Homo American and as an American I like a select few things I like freedom I like money I like boobs I like boob freedom with money I probably shouldn't be shouting that I am in Korea by the way don't know if I mentioned that to anybody but I am in fact in Korea but as an American in Korea my mind always goes to one single thing that overrides all of my base instincts for survival such as water and/or shelter and or five breathing as an American there's one thing I love above all else and that is a good old-fashioned American hamburger what I have here is not a good old-fashioned American hamburger but what this does contain is the other distilled essence of what America is all about capitalism that delicious sweet delectable somehow like a demon in the night McDonald's has chased me all the way from America here to my apartment in Seoul but inside this bag is a mystery because I asked how is Korean McDonald's different from American McDonald's so or is it different at all and I can tell you already that it is in fact different because the ordering experience was a little bit different you see McDonald's is trying to implement these cashier list order takers known as computers and these computers decide your fate instead of fairly interpreting it through spoken language and until I can shout my order at a computer I'm not gonna trust it as much as shouting as a he had a huge and an underpaid human being in all honesty it wasn't that much different than an American McDonald's in terms of the ordering procedure here's a few shaky videos that I took wallows in McDonald's [Music] they're really bad because I'm not a professional vlogger and I'm not good at busting out my camera in public because I'm embarrassed which is weird cuz I'm pretty much not embarrassed about anything else in my life I will literally do anything I won't do I take that back completely but the McDonald's wasn't that bad it was clean it was a bit crowded but the order came out quickly and I ordered a lot of crap and buy a lot of crap I mean for some reason I thought I was I know what I ordered like I only ordered the equivalent of about 25 bucks worth of stuff but for some reason my brain thought it's just gonna be pulling us slim bags and bags of McDonald's onto the table and that is not the case but what I did ordered is a sampling of different sandwiches and different board ORS or as they call it in Korea hen Vogel licks in do you know how to translate that good so what I have here is an assortment a variety a different assembly of different tastes some that are replicas of burgers that you would find in America and some which are original burgers that you will only find here in Korea and I'm going to taste them and use my encyclopedic knowledge of McDonald's food I am well versed in the ways of McDonald's I've been eating it since I was a young boy I'm not proud of that fact but I do know my way around a McDonald's menu just throwing it out there and I'm so hungry I'm Sal they've never thought so first step first the cornerstone of all McDonald's the pimp daddy no it's breaking the first bit of soil when you're building a new skyscraper you always have this ceremony that's digging into it where all the executives who don't get paid minimum wage to move dirt around decide to put on a bunch of hard hats just I don't know why there's not even anything above their heads yet but they put on a bunch of hard hats they get a big ribbon they cut the ribbon with giant scissors and then they dig a hole with the tactical shovel and I don't know why those two are juxtaposed against each other but that's just culture business culture capitalism it's delicious you wouldn't understand if you don't have money anyway this is the cornerstone what didn't I just say that from the beginning this is the cornerstone of McDonald's their french fry this is what they're known for besides all the burgers and the possibly destroying the environment with the meat industry but that's besides the point this is what they're known for and the heart attacks and general overall diminishing of the human body's capability to repair itself this is what they're known for if it wasn't very clear I'm not sponsored by McDonald's and I will continue to [ __ ] on them despite the fact that I'm a hypocrite and I enjoy their food okay right off we have a problem this is soggy the taste is there the taste is there but the texture is gone one thing that McDonald's is known for is to just really crispy not crispy crispy not like crunchy crispy but it's got a snap to it not bad but it is soft and and what's weird is they taste fresh which says to me this is just how these fries are now I might be mistaken this is only one sample size statistics are out the window but from my anecdotal evidence this is subpar the taste is there like I said well there's a limp dick fry if I ever saw one but this is what you can visually see how this has no snap to it because it's a limp dick fry that's a tasty limp dick though not bad what chewy maybe it's better funny maybe it's not as deep fried maybe it's healthier I lie to myself next up we have McNuggets if there was ever something that showcased mr. McDonald's egotism and narcissism it was put it's putting Mick in front of everything McNuggets these are just chicken nuggets but they're now McDonald's patented chicken nuggets by putting them in there they're no different but is this shape there Oh interesting okay so the shape is there if you didn't know these are completely artificial in every way I'm not 100% sure if they're from pink slime and you know they're fake because they have four distinct shape they have rectangle they have boot it doesn't look quite right and I know my way around it McNugget they have circle I guess okay I seem to be missing some because there are four distinct shapes I know this these are the shapes you can look them up normally when I get it I always get spicy buffalo ranch and barbecue they didn't have barbecue they didn't have spicy buffalo but they did have this thing called Cajun so that sounds pretty good that smells like it smells like spicy mayo you get a sushi place when you're me and order everything with spicy mayo and then ruin the sushi by dunking it in there and then dunking it in soy sauce or in Korean as known as ganja I'm an [ __ ] is basically what I'm saying but first I'm gonna try it by itself now there's a crunch is it weird of me to want to describe this more as a biscuit or a cook than a McNugget because that's what I'm getting out of it it's got a much crisper much drier texture but it doesn't taste like that dry texture that I would get from an American McNugget that I hate this is good mmm doesn't taste like chicken no it tastes like nothing this tastes like cardboard but it's a pleasant experience see this proves that I'm purely a texture based eater I love the flavor of mushrooms but I cannot stand eating a mushroom just because the texture as well I like the flavor of many goopy gushy things but the texture is awful I can't do it this is a fine texture if I do say so myself tastes like cardboard but I'm okay with that because I'm a basic [ __ ] and I have no requirements for quality speaking of which what is your favorite shape because each shape has I swear to God each shape has a different flavor I can't prove it because I have no scientific way of proving taste but I swear each shape of the McNugget has a different flavor I'm just I'm not lying about that I'm not joking I'm not exaggerating please if you know what I'm talking about please back me up because I feel like I'm great I've never asked anyone about this I've never said it out loud but I've always thought this each shape has a different flavor if you believe me if you agree with me back me up and tell me that this is not the boot but the boot has the best flavor it's just a fact and I it's a fact I can't prove but I know it's a fact which is it how facts work right that's out good work yeah on the internet it is so this is the Cajun sauce it's got like a horseradish kick to it it's not bad despite the face that I made do it in urban flip replay the face it's got like this horseradish kick it's it's this but it's a spice but it's not like a capsaicin spice it's a horseradish spice or wasabi spice it's not bad I go back for more but our first it was unpleasant cuz my my brain didn't know what was going on I don't like the sauce very much it's not matter ah napkins I guess I could be reviewed they don't have the McDonald's logo imprinted on them which makes me very sad because I definitely like the white Mike oh they do it's really subtle okay I'm happy now okay a stable I'm living with like the normal stuff first and then escalate to the more Kurian types of food that they have here this is just a quarter pounder with cheese or as in Karina says quote tall pound all TD there's a lot of words in Korean that are simply American words or words from all around the world better and this didn't smash into the Korean dialect okay so it's got all the basic ingredients the burger doesn't look too happy but you know maybe it'll be happier when it's in my mouth because that's its purpose purpose sex tastes like home the meats a little a little bit rub more rubbery than what I'm used to and I'm pretty sure that most of these burgers only contain about like 20 percent rubber this one might be in like 25 30 percent rubber but taste is very much like if I was getting a burger in America this would be a burger that I would think had been sitting there for a little bit longer than it should have but I'd still eat it because I'm like I'm driving or something like that or it's 3 a.m. and I've got nowhere else to turn to and I pull in with shame in my eyes and sweat on my brow and I got pit stains and I greasily look over the cashier in hand of my soggy credit card and then they take it and look at it for a few minutes as if they've never seen the credit card before cuz 3m and they don't care then they slam it in the machine then they don't hand me my receipt they throw it in my general direction because I can't look at me and I can't look at them either so I hope to catch it and if it walks away in the wind then so be it I never needed my receipt in the first place not a shuffle off to the next one oh I don't because it's the same window so instead of shuffling off to the next window I just sit there in my car I don't know whether to roll my window up or keep it down you know I don't know if it's rude to keep it down and look at them or maybe you have to roll it up maybe that's rude cuz like I'm cutting off and then I gotta put it back down again for them to just give me my food and I never know how long it's gonna take biggest three am its crapshoot whether it's gonna come out in two seconds or two hours so I just sit there kind of like thinking about reaching for the window Rolly up B and then I eventually just rolled the window and then right as I do then they bring out the food and then you know my word is wrong so I I don't bother to check because at that point I just like my body only need sustenance in one way or another it's either that or start chewing on the steering wheel and to be honest but my mouth wouldn't know the difference and then I show I Drive off into the night and consume and park under a bridge [Music] anyway we're good it's not bad and the onions are rich I might come back to that I know this seems like a waste but as I said in the beginning of the video I'm an American and waste is pretty much all of our middle names mothers try to finish things I'm gonna try this will be like a mukbang which is that Korean thing where they record themselves or live from themselves eating an ungodly amount which I'm I do I guess we're not so different after all even they get orders wrong cuz I'm pretty sure I ordered a chicken sandwich apparently I didn't there was another problem with the the interface the computer was slow so I felt bad making everybody wait for my collar it's all breached I don't know what this is about but okay so I'm not typically a Big Mac guy when I go to McDonald's I usually fall for the quarter pounder or the double Quarter Pounder depending on how much I hate myself in that particular moment but I like the Big Mac it's not bad but I do know it's not the best value because these are the same patty as they put in their double cheeseburger in their make double why would anybody get a double cheeseburger when they could just get him a double the only thing that's missing is a slice of cheese and I'm not gonna pay 40 cents more for a slice of cheese when I'm already paying a buck 39 for a McDouble not miss it back in the day when he was the nine and nonsense meal home hmm no that's rubbery um the special sauce it's not that special I think it's just like mayonnaise and ketchup and some other schmutz but these patties are just plastic and the lettuce is kind of sad a little ol little dehydrated yeah doesn't have much water left in it pickles are fine hmm no run that pickle was no fun so that's the first disappointment I've had I don't default the Big Mac but I like the taste of a Big Mac and that is just not that big and not that Mac that being said I hate myself I would finish this and I will try to but I'm gonna wait till the end so this oh no this is the jig I did give I forgotten because this one's called the mix spicy Shanghai burger and I feel like someone should be insulted by that name but no one seems to be raising a fuss about it so I guess I can't really say anything other ones but anyway so this is the one that's chicken do what what the hell this lettuce is green that tastes fresh what kind of lettuce do they put in this they made it at the same time why does this have fresh and that has not fresh so this is basically a McChicken chicken sandwich deluxe my guess is it says make chickens Shanghai but it seems to just be that's what I get for being me and existing in the first place okay it seems to be chicken a tomato slice and lettuce much better lettuce looking than that lettuce I don't usually go for the chicken deluxe sandwich because I don't like tomato we'll see what happens that's a tasty bite hmm that is a oh that is a tasty bite and taste fresh I think it might be the good lettuce and not the old stinky cabbage oh oh I do like that I got nothing else to say it doesn't taste Korean like so far nothing here is tasted Korean everything just tastes in varying levels of quality which is amazing considering all these were made at the same time but I'm assuming that's all just due to the different way it's cooked in the different sources of ingredients this tastes good very good I think the in Korea they just have better sources of chicken than they do have beef because they just don't have the space for raise cattle so all the beef has to be imported I believe okay I got nothing else to say about it I'm still sad I think they like the edge pieces were usually safe bet just saw okay so this is where things get Korean cue the Korean music and Lexy and if you put on something offensive sure I got people come after you better not be Chinese better not be Japanese Korean and not Kate stop not kpop just don't put on anything but on the old music whatever it was Scott this one is called the blue Goldy burger now bulgogi is like Korean barbecued meat it's basically Korean BBQ is colloquially known as like a restaurant that does stow in the center of the table and you cook the meat yourself it's delicious if you haven't gone to a Korean barbecue place go over there Gogi is basically barbecue beef Kogi means beat blue means fire fire meat barbecue meat it's kind of the same I don't know if I'm under Sun on that one but that's what I kind of generally understand about it so this one has meat bulgogi sauce you can kind of think of it like a teriyaki but it's not teriyaki it's got an egg in here it is just drowned in sauce which I love I love sauce there's also cabbage here there's gonna be a weird mixture of flavors and I don't know how I'm gonna handle it but man here we go that's fascinating I can't say it's the best thing I've ever had but that is just a fascinating combination of flavors that tastes distinctly like Korean food I've had around here if I put on a blindfold that I went down to the street corner and I got some Korean food from some random schmuck I wouldn't mistake it for this burger that's not what I'm saying but the flavor profile is very distinctly Korean and it has to just be the sauce right I mean also the lack of ketchup maybe it's the lack of what I'm expecting at a burger that's more surprising than the addition of anything else because when I try hamburgers there's always mayonnaise ketchup mustard depending on the burger hello new episode of edge of sleep available now also new bloke here available now links in the description the flavor was so intense it stopped the recording on my camera conclusion it was good but not that good I didn't like it that much it might have been an acquired taste if I managed so much footage alright and also you missed my outrage because I didn't get another item that I ordered called the corn pie what is a corn pie you might ask frankly I don't know I don't know if a corn pie is something that's supposed to emulate something from America or if it's Korean thing just seemed like a green thing because I've never seen a corn pie here it was right next to the apple pie now an apple pie I know and I know that Koreans have good apples but I don't know anything about the corn and I definitely don't know anything about the corn pies and also I know for a fact that Koreans are not known for their pies because Koreans don't typically have ovens that's just a thing you like Koreans for the longest time you know in their history they didn't have ovens they didn't bake a lot of things so there's not really any basis for them to be a corn pie but I'm never gonna know because I didn't get my corn pie because I ordered it buddies up so it's not yeah so I will do without and I will make do with the last thing on my menu and I even did a dramatic reveal of me going to get this thing am i record I bet I'm not recording right now I even made a dramatic flourish of getting this thing out of my freezer over there because if there's one thing that I get from McDonald's more than anything else it is a McFlurry this is Korea's McFlurry now there's a weird difference here right off the bat it's got this fact which is very convenient I guess seems like a waste of plastic and I'm not about wasting plastic because of the sea turtles and everything else in the ocean I don't know why this is here but it's good for carrying I suppose but also it could be good for carrying if I just pad a cup with a lid but I don't I've got a bowl question mark either way so what this is is a salted caramel McFlurry sounds pretty good to me I really like this truth waffle McFlurry that they brought to America for a little bit from wherever stroopwafels are made so I'm assuming that this is going to be pretty good what's weird is the salted caramel isn't even them it's got the names of the different flurries here but it's not even listed on here so maybe it's a new thing I have no idea okay whatever pop that's Pleasant experience just want to get the smell deep inside my nostrils okay there's one thing hard to get wrong its sugar sugar is pretty much ubiquitous across any country it crosses over borders it crosses over boundaries this has sugar in it and it's tasty because my brain is a basic [ __ ] and when it gets sugar it screams and runs and shouts out how much it's in love with whatever is getting the sugar inside of my body there are a surprising amount of things that the human body will do for sugar and there's a surprising amount of things that sugar does to the body and return mostly bad things sugar is probably the worst thing you can put inside your body and yet here I go because it tastes so good then again that's probably why people do heroin the ice cream is not the same I have not gotten a lot of ice cream while I've been here in Korea but the ice cream is fundamentally a little different now that supposed to say it's bad it's just different it's not what I would expect when I would get say an ice cream cone if I'm walking around amusement park or a McFlurry I don't know if it's just a different way they make it or if it's the different ingredients or if it's different mix or different cows or what it is or different milk committees milk I don't know but all I know is it tastes a little bit different that doesn't mean it's worse still tastes good and there's mmm it's good I just inhaled something dust it's probably fine this is good I don't see how it could be bad that's what I thought when I ordered it and frankly I'm kind of confirmed on that assumption it is a McFlurry and all i McFlurry is another bunch of [ __ ] thrown into ice cream that's what this is conclusion the wheels of the corporate machine don't stop no matter what country it is in wherever it finds itself and wherever it's able to dig its claws into it will spread its genes far and wide and the Apple will not fall too far from the proverbial tree so the Donelson Korea is not that different from McDonald's in America if you are an American and you like an American hamburger you probably aren't eating at McDonald's but if you are a basic [ __ ] like myself and find yourself going to McDonald's more times than you would like to admit this is not a bad place to go because it's not bad over all the staples that you would find in America tastes almost the same except for the fries that's this point but what can you do maybe that's just a fluke it might just be a fluke I've had wildly different fry experiences from McDonald's in America so might just be a fluke the Nuggets pretty good the Big Mac ring that Bell
