Ultimate Korean Street Food : Hongdae - Seoul
Today on Two Plus Two,
the ultimate Hongdae street food taste test.
So, last time we did snacks and that was pretty popular.
Everyone loves snacks, don't they?
What's another thing people like about Korea?
Street food.
Damn right.
A lot of you have been asking for a video for this,
so it's about time we delivered.
So we're going to show you some of the most popular street food
you can find in and around Hongdae.
Not only Hongdae, you can find it anywhere else in Seoul.
Okay, everybody, we have arrived
Walk up and grab a stick of odeng, which is this.
Japanese call it odeng,
but the Koreans have their own name called it omuk.
You just go up and grab one and a stick and you just...
Usually, at street food carts, you pay for everything at the end.
You can get a paper cup and then get some of that odeng soup for free.
Next up, tteokbokki.
So this is how you order.
Hana means one, juseyo means please give me.
For those of you into Korea, you probably already know what tteokbokki is,
but for those of you who don't know,
it's basically a sweet and spicy rice cake and it's steaming hot.
Next up, tigim.
Tigim just means fried or fried stuff at street carts,
and there's usually a huge variety of them.
So when you order tigim, you have to order them in sets of five.
You can order them in any combination,
either five of the same thing or two and three or all of them different.
Doesn't really matter.
Today, just to show you guys, we're going to order one of everything.
So what I just said was
Hana means one, sik means like each thing,
and then juseyo, I already taught you, means please give me.
So two other things that you'll find at street carts are hot dogs and gamja hot dogs.
Don't be confused, Europeans.
These are not actual hot dogs.
North Americans call them corn dogs.
It's a sausage wrapped in donut dough and then it's fried.
The gamja hot dog is the same sausage, but it's wrapped in hash brown potatoes.
This is how you order.
Next up is something not for the faint-hearted.
Now, we have something similar in England.
We call it blood pudding, but in Korea, it is called sundae.
Sundae is intestines with pig's blood and japchae.
Japchae is thin glass noodles.
I personally do not like eating this thing.
So Happy is going to talk more about it.
For the sake of this video,
BapMokja is going to have to eat at least one piece.
But before we get to that,
there's something special that comes with sundae when you order it pretty much anywhere.
It comes with other innards.
I know it doesn't sound that appetizing, but listen to me, I love it.
It can either come with liver, lung, heart, or ear,
and that's all pork because this is a pork-based dish.
Korean lesson.
Liver is gan.
Lung is heopa.
Heart is yeomtong.
And ear is gwi.
You can actually choose which innards you want or just tell them not to give you any.
But because I love the lung and the heart the most,
I'm just going to tell her to give me those.
This is the reaction of someone who loves sundae.
It's just such a distinct taste.
This is lung.
Oh, delicious.
Delicious.
And this is heart.
Heart.
Koreans are going to know exactly what I'm talking about.
Chinese people, you know what we're talking about.
White people, break out of your comfort zone for this dish.
Apparently, salt helps.
But maybe that is also a lie.
Who knows?
It doesn't smell nice.
I don't eat black pudding in England.
I don't want to eat this.
But for you guys, I will.
If I can do it.
It's not good?
Do you want to try the lung and the heart?
No, no.
It's gone, but it's tolerable.
I don't like it.
The taste isn't bad, but I know what it is.
So, not again.
Some of you who watched our five Hongdae foods reviews videos
already know what this next item is.
But it's chicken skewers or dak-kkochi.
It comes in many flavors, and I'm going to tell you what they are now.
So, like we learned before, how do you ask for one of each?
Please put it in the comments and tell me you actually listen to what we say.
Oh, yes.
Oh, dak-kkochi.
Oh, spicy.
Oh, I love the spicy taste.
You can never go wrong with chicken.
Never.
Next up is something really, really greasy.
Probably the greasiest thing in this video.
The hot bar.
What is a hot bar?
Well, it's just something wrapped in fish paste and then fried.
What is fish paste?
So, remember, go back all the way to the odeng.
It's kind of a similar ingredient, but not exactly the same.
Oh, it's really hot.
It's fried in it.
So, we've had the salty.
We've had the oily.
We've had the spicy.
So, now it's time for sweet stuff.
So, a lot of you who watch K-dramas are going to know what the next thing is.
We're talking about goldfish breads or bungeoppang.
And there are two flavors.
Pat, which is red bean, or choux cream, which is choux cream.
So, first, choux cream.
That's what I'm talking about.
Now, pat or red bean.
Next up is kind of a mix between a savory and sweet treat.
But I still consider it sweet.
It's basically egg bread.
It's an egg on bread.
But it's not really bread.
It's more cakey.
As you can see, it's an egg.
You can see the yolk on the cake.
Oh, it's sweet cake with an egg baked into it.
Delicious.
