These are pork intestines, the iconic Korean barbecue, look at this dessert we found on the street, it's an ice cream with burnt marshmallow [Music] My friends, welcome to the Luisillo the fatty's special in South Korea, there is not much to explain. You already know the drill, we'll go out and see what delights people eat in the streets. What of
morbid, delicious, fattening things make up their street food. This is going to be cool, tasty, so let's go for it [Music] Let's get started, of course we have
to kick off this tremendous tour with one of the classics, this really is a classic
of South Korean cuisine it's called topokki and I would define it as a rice sausage, it's basically a rice paste it's a very fluffy dish and it's quite dry, and that's why it's dipped in chili sauce; look how everything is bathed in chili sauce, of course it has chili. South Korean food in case you didn't know, it's spicy, very spicy. People here tolerate a lot of spiciness and they love it. This particular topokki comes with some fish skin dried fish skin and some vegetables and seaweed Topokki is a complement, let's say for a lot of dishes. It's very common that in restaurands that serve rice and topokki, noodles and topokki, chicken and topokki; therefore it's quite cheap is quite economic, this dish I bought was sold to me in 2000 won, which is like a dollar and 60 cents it's a pretty affordable price.
Let's try it, let's try it, topokki [Music] I don't like it very much, it's very fluffy
and have to chew it a lot if you don't move your teeth a lot it sticks, I don't love it but people of South Korea are fascinated by it. Let's try with a little bit of fish it gets better, that gives it more flavor because topokki by itself doesn't taste like anything it entirely depends on what you add to it. This one with the chili sauce and the fish has a good taste, good flavour. What to you think? Do you want some?
¡Masissge Deuseyo! Eat Deliciously! in Korean. I don't really love it, but if it is the only thing left I'll finish it happily let's go on, there are really a lot of dishes to analyze [Music] They tell me that this the South Korean pizza it's called pajeon and it's sold all over the country. Check it, it's sold like this, for that reason they call it the Korean pizza, but when you order it they put it on the pan or the grill and they cut it with a pair of scissors to make it in little pieces pajeon is a wheat tortilla, let say and on top of that you put chives you put chili in this case, obviously it has to be hot, they have to put a lot of chili but it can have many ingredients as you like. I'm told that pajeon is a dish that is very consumed in the rainy season, like in the rain, people like to have some pajeon tasty, succulent. It costs 5000 won, about 3 dollars 60, they sell you a whole piece this one we are about to try has scallion with chili, enjoy! ok, it tastes a lot like onion, very spicy obviously, I grabbed a little piece with chili, but it doesn't taste very greasy as I thought, being fried with a lot of oil I thought it would be greasyer but no.
I would define it as a crepe, that's how it tastes you grap a crepe and lay whatever you want on top, that is what I'm tasting. Very good I would put some meat on top to give it more body. Tasty, succulent, approved [Music] For 4 thousand won, about 3 dollars, you have a delicious plate of Japchae. These are noodles made of sweet potato and you can have it with many things, here the gentleman of this stand kindly added a bit of fish broth, a little bit of soy sauce he put some eomuk, which is this like a dry fish, he also put some sesame seeds cabbage, chives, some seaweed, carrots, it is very complete and the plate that the man was selling was a very bib plate, and I told him let's calm down or else I'll be rolling out of South Korea, but this one looks very tasty, very very tasty, well enjoy, enyoy!
Japchae, it smells good, let's see if it doesn't burn maybe one of the things he put was a super spicy chili oil, enjoy! Let's have a little bit of everything. I would have added a little bit more soy sauce to make it more liquid, with more moisture, but I really think that wow, this is very tasty I ask for this for sure, the fish gives it a different taste, and this one japchae is usually served a little bit warm, not cold but kind of warm, and it also is a side dish it can be a full meal but I've seen it in restaurants and they usually serve it with chicken, with pork, and
this is like the side dish, instead of rice you order japchae. Wow I really think that this has been one of my favorites I declare myself a fan of japchae. Enjoy, enjoy! Let's search more deliciousness [Music] Hey, and of course you can't be making
a food video in South Sorea without mentioning the iconic Korean barbecue. This is world famous and it's a feast. I don't know if we can call it street food, because you have to come to a restaurant but it's very iconic and very tasty. First, look at how much food they bring to you and I love the system they have on the tables,
they have vacuums. They are to vacuum the smoke, you pull this, then the smoke goes through these ducts and it goes away This one is the famous kimchi Kimchi! which is spicy napa cabbage, super super emblematic We order some beef and pork ribs, and watch this, it's very typical in restaurants of all kinds but especially Korean barbecue, which on the table you open a drawer and here you grab your napkins, you grab your spoons, you grab your chopsticks, whatever is needed Check it out, the way you eat it is you grab a little lettuce leaf, here we go, and you go are going to prepare something like tacos, so in my lettuce taco I put whatever I want for example, I'm going to put some rice, that little fish and I'm going to take a little bit of the meat that we already have cooked, here it is, I wrap my taco we'll add some sauce, let's see if it isn't too spicy. We wrap the taco, look how delicious it is and eat it. [Music] It's delicious, and this trully Korean I would say that from Korean food, this one is the most famous worldwide. Enjoy! [Music] this is an interesting root, it's the root
of a flower, how did we said...
Yes, America, Mexico, Mexico very cheerful our friend. We looked up the translation and it's called burdock they serve it with like a sweet and sour sauce. It has an interesting taste even like a dessert, but look, it is also like a side dish. They also put it inside the rolls which we mistakenly call sushi, and our friend here looks like she's very famous, look, a lot of celebrities have come to visit her stand, we can also see youtubers I want my picture here too. Delicious, delicious. Gamsahamnida! Bye-bye. She says I'm handsome, I'm not surprised. She's telling the truth. [Music] This next one made me very curious, it's called agar-agar it is basically this jelly that we're looking at. It is made from seaweed let's say with sea vegetation very typical of
Japan and Korea, this is then mixed with bean flour, if I understood correctly, that's a bean flour, they add some water and mix it. That jelly we saw, they cut it very thin until it looks like noodles, like strips, and it's supposed to be like really good for the bones, you know these dishes are always attributed with many benefits to the body. 2000 won costed this plate, a dollar 30, a dollar 40. Let's try it, will be sweet? will it be salty? I don't know [Music] It's weird, it tastes like beans, obviously, it is bean flour, it should taste like beans. But I'm shocked that it's not black, brown nor red, like the ones I know, so it must be broad beans, right? those white beans. The jelly has no taste at all. It's just there It's a very weird dish, and they told me that this one is not that common it isn't very normal or typical but here in the little market they sell it and they say it is very good I didn't really like it, but if I go to my friend's house and that's what his mom did and she asks me to try, I would eat it, I eat it and we say, it was very nice ma'am, I'll come back later. They tell me that a
good complement to this is odeng it boiled like this in fish broth with seaweed and you can add soy sauce, as much as you want,
so we're going to have some it looks like it's very spicy, and we dip it. Each odeng piece, the fishcake costs 70 won, that's about 50 cents of a dollar or 10 Mexican pesos. Enjoy! [Music] It's interesting. With the soy sauce it has a strong flavour, it's a little spicy but it's good, a complement and according to our friend, very good for your health [Music] It's time to sweeten our palate after too much spice, too much salty stuff. This is a sweet bread stand or what are called the Korean donuts. This little bread I bought it's called donut, and they are made of rice flour. They come in different shapes and sizes they're vey cheap, this bread costs one thousand won, 70 cents of a dollar and it comes stuffed with sweet beans. That is consumed a lot in Japan too. Personally I'm not a big fan of that flavor but people here love it. In Japan,
in China, here in Korea they eat it a lot the red sweet bean. Enjoy!, let's sweeten our palate look, these are the red beans. It has a... you would think that it's chocolate, but it isn't, look they're beans, beans in your sweet bread. It's not bad, it's good but having grown up in Latin America I have the idea that beans are a salty food, a strong food so when I have it in a dessert, it feels weird. It doesn't mean it's not good but it is not in my top, however I can eat it and the way my friend makes them who seems like is also a celebrity, I love how they put in their stand the photos of the people who has come to visit, they have autographs from celebrities they have interviewed him for the TV look, there's a reason he's famous, this little bread is succulent [Music] If we're devouring all this food let's make it right, look at this dessert we found on the street. It's an ice cream with burnt marshmallow for 4500 won, about 3 dollars 50, something like that. You get this block of marshmallow with vanilla ice cream inside and my friend burns it on the outside to give it this look, simply delicious will it burn or freeze our mouths? What an interesting rollercoaster of emotions we are about to experience [Music] OMG. Look, I hope you can see it on the camera. We have several layers, firstly the burnt layer of the marshmallow, it has a unique flavour. Second layer, the fresh marshmallow; the third layer is made of cookies can you see it? look at that treat and then the fourth one which is the filling, the vanilla ice cream I'll give this beauty a ten out of ten. It's brutal. Enough dessert, i think we've sweetened up enough [Music] Our local guide insisted on bringing us to this place, he tells us that in this city we're at called Gwangju, there was a fever for these coin shaped bread and it's really interesting, right now the line is small, but it was very long this stand sells the coins ok, this is it; then this is another one that also sells the coin shaped bread, and all along this street, which is one of the touristy ones in this city several stands sell the bread. For what I understand it is simply some bread with cheese inside but look, the shape is really funny, very interesting. Look, it's an old coin we also have the other face. And people love it, they enjoy it For 300 Korean won, or about two dollars we can taste this beauty. Enjoy, let's se how it tastes [Music] It's very hot. It's like a pancake, I would say it is a pancake but with, look a this, cheese inside a lot of delicious cheese. My camerawoman's mouth is already watering, let's cut so she can taste it. I don't know if, I mean it's good, it just doesn't seem very revolutionary, maybe in this part of the world it is very groundbreaking. I would define it, for the people watching from South America as a "cachapa", something like that, a pancake with cheese. It's ok, it's tasty, and it's very popular in this side of the world [Music] For those with weak stomachs
this will not be the most delicious dish it is called sundae and it's basically the a blood sausage, some kind of chorizo they're pig intestines, this part that they gave us it the large intestine of the pig that they process, and then they put, check it out, they fill it with sweet potato starch, and I thought this thing we're looking at was rice, but it's not they say it's sweet potato starch. This meal is very cheap, this dish and I had to tell her to give me less, she was cutting a lot of it; they sold it to me for one thousand won one thousand won is like 70 cents of a dollar, something like that, maybe a little bit less check it, they give it to you with salt. Let's see how it goes, enjoy! it doesn't have any smell, you'd think it is stinkier. We dip it in some salt and let's go It's hot. It's very chewy, it lacks some flavor. It really isn't blood sausage, I've tasted it and it tastes very different. I'm getting it, I'm getting it perfectly, it doesn't have meat, that's why it's so cheap. It's the pork intestine what hold everything but inside there's only starch. Of course, that's why it lacks flavor and that's why it's so cheap. If you tell me how the dish is made, it turns my stomach a little bit, I won't deny it but if you don't tell, and I just eat it, it's tasty, I wouldn't say no. a good side dish for every food. There you have it, for a thousand won it takes away your hunger, it fills us up let's see what else we can find [Music] This is worth having in Luisillo the fatty's special, just a quick look at these street stands that are very different let's have a look. Waffles, these are the candies that we saw in the famous Squid Games show squid is sold like this, also the octopus's tentacles look how they sell them. Over here another similar stand with seafood. This thing that I bought is called hotteok, which is like a sweet crepe with peanuts and sunflower seeds inside over here another little stand that sells dumplings, some more sweet bread the waffles, there are many things, you can have a little bit of everything on these streets [Music] I think is safe to say that people in
South Korea eat deliciously eat exquisitely I have been more than fascinated with the recipes Which things would you like to eat? which one have you tried? which one looks like something they sell in your area? you can write it in the comments below.
