Started the day at BHC fried chicken where I tried their cheese and their SICHUAN fried chicken which was mind blowingly good! Then finished the day at a Korean BBQ pork belly restaurant where the fried rice at the end was magical. #bhcchicken#friedrice # koreanfood
530 believe it or not. It's about 330 right now, and I haven't had breakfast yet. It's my first meal of the day
I've been busy all morning
And all I wanted was some dumplings for breakfast two more hours. All right, let's kill some time
Let's go eat pre-breakfast breakfast
That's also lunch right now. I'm in the Hyundai area again and
Notice I eat here a lot. Hyundai is surrounded by four universities
That's why there's so much good food here and often is very inexpensive
BBQ chicken was one of my favorite Korean fried chicken places
But before I came here everyone's been messaging me to try
I don't know if it's new this other Korean fried chicken chain called a BHC fried chicken
I think they have a branch here. This is how my mind works
I walked I was walking up and I see the words sexy cookie
It didn't even register in my mind that it might be anything besides a cookie because to me cookies are very sexy
But yeah, that's it. Oh, they don't serve cookies. I
Can read that all you can eat malatang be back for that
Wait, I know her. Isn't she that girl from the alien movie the guy who's an alien who's also Korean?
Chen Songyi? Okay so far the menu looks really really good. Let's go try out the fried chicken
Okay, so got the menu
It's pretty extensive menu. Oh, it's a lot of stuff half and half
Half sauce half fried they got chicken that's just with sauce
They got chicken with that just fried and they got like soy barbecue. Okay, this looks pretty good
BB you rain mop is so king combo that looks like it'll light you up. There's black olive. There's there's curry
This is a lot of stuff. I'll go get a couple combos. I got two orders of chicken. I got the mala
There's something like compound chicken looking dish that I had to get and then I got their their best one
Which is the cheese powder fried chicken and they're both pretty large
I think this is at least a three person or even four person order of food. Also kind of disturbing
Just just just saw the staff in the bathroom came out without washing his hands. I
Don't think he's the one actually cooking my chicken. So a
Little better. All right, this looks tremendous. This is a piece of the cheese chicken. It's so powdery
This is a really messy piece of chicken to eat
It's sweeter than I thought that's delicious though
Especially for my first meal of the day don't just reminds me of like a cross between
Cheetos and a Dorito but a sweeter version of course classic super thin skin on the fried chicken
Remarkably juicy itself then the skin is super juicy meat. I mean classic freshly fried Korean fried chickens
It's usually always very well done. It was like cheetos and a cool ranch Dorito had a baby
That would taste like this ain't the wrong with that though, I love cheetos I love cool ranch Dorito this thing is pretty outrageous but
It's a really good chicken this I'm really interested in. It's like a compound fried chicken. I
Love it. This might be one of the best versions of Korean fried chicken. I've had. Oh, this is tremendous
It tastes like just what I told you guys like a fried chicken version of compound chicken except for this thing
It's spicy and tons of peppercorn so you get that great Citroen numbing thing
This is Citroen fried chicken, and it's done exceptionally well Wow this is incredible. This is better than the cheese chicken
So glad I got this and the whole thing is beautifully cooked again thin skin nice and crispy
Mmm
This meat's a juicy such a beautiful contrast of crispy skin
And a burst of juice from the tender meat inside Wow every part of this chicken
It's just covered with this beautiful spicy numbing sauce
Amazing just come here and get this I mean get the cool range Dorito chicken if you want
But you hundred percent need to get this and if you feel like it's not spicy enough for you get a chili pepper. Oh
That's crispy too this might be one of the best Korean fried chicken
I've had ever it's also just me because I love this flavor this mala flavor is
Ridiculously on point my friend Krista. Just got here Krista. You haven't had this before you try a piece of this
It's better try it try
Good
So good, right
This thing is like ridiculous. It's amazing. It's like busting my tongue right now
If you want to spice your eat another chili like when I came here a lot of people told me that's okay
It's this chicken's fine
No off the hook and this is what I'm really happy
I'm like I have people near me so I can shout it from the mountaintops
How good this is and have someone else try it and this way like you believe me more, right?
Like you don't just trust me. I mean you should but it's better when you get a testimonial, you know, like I
Wish more people are here so I can share the good news of this chicken with them
So happy with this feel like I'm in Szechuan right now eating this
And normally I
Don't even need the radish, but tongues on fire right now
My favorite chicken place now this place
Next up. We're a half junk and this this dumpling place. It's open 24 hours a day
It's got friends all over. So I'm maybe Korea and it's really famous. It's really good
It's really it's my favorite dump Korean dumpling place in all Korea all Korea
How many dumpling place have you been at
Really?
I think I trust her
All right, let's see if it's really that good
This place steamed dumplings, we've got an order of Galbi and an order of mixed dumplings the Galbi dumpling when in Korea you gotta get this
That is amazing Wow that is
Very Galbi, you can definitely taste the strands of beef in this dumpling. It's a little sweet as is most Korean food
That's why you need a little dip in sauce, but you can definitely taste the quality of meat in here
Wow
Skin is perfect. Hey first thing can see through this thing meat really nice true
I don't like it when like dumpling like filling you chew it. It's just
Evaporates like what's it ever even there? I call those ghost dumplings, but these you can actually taste the filling
You can chew it. It's it's on your tongue to slowly melting away. That's a good dumpling filling and it's
distinctively
Distinctively Korean and every single plate is like 250
It's also like $2.50 it's basically four dumplings for a dollar almost
That's perfect, I'm gonna give you some soup
That's actually really good seaweed soup. I like this this place is definitely a bang for your buck
100% just put a little bit of chilies and a different sauce like I did you're good to go. Kori dumpling
That's great. I think the overall theme of these dumplings is just paper thin skin and quality filling
And I like the Pillsbury dough boy. The skin is never doughy. This is popping your mouth and they'll go down the hatch easily
It's so delicate the kimchi dumpling
That one woke me up
Wow, that was spicy that I think on the normal scale like a normal people hot scale is like an 8 out of 10
like if you just like a
Casual spice lover wouldn't be able to handle that that thing is still hurting me right now. I
Didn't expect that to hurt me gotta be careful
I mean just having a good dumpling of a time and all of a sudden you put one of those suckers in your mouth
I mean if you like spicy that's gonna make the party better. I'm just gonna make you happier
But if you're not at least able to handle maybe
ten times the fire sauce
And a Taco Bell. I don't mean like ten packs. I mean like that spice level times ten
might have some problems with this I
Like it though that pain was kind of surprising. It was like you go to your mouth
You're like, oh, this is delicious. The kimchi is great. All of a sudden the power of the chilies just start stomping on your tongue
To me, that's a lot of fun. I like it. I like it stomp away
Hurt me. That's the good kind of pain. You want to try that spicy one?
Can you handle spicy though, no
Are you gonna do it? Oh, wow. Okay. I see why this is your favorite place
I'd be coming here all the time cheap dumplings. You get it right away steamed a good quality flavors magnificent
Oh, Chris is about to do it. If I don't appear in the next video, you will know this is my cup of that
Yeah, go for it
Okay, it doesn't hurt yet
Now it just tastes good. It should be hitting you in a few seconds now a few moments later
Good how you doing? I don't want that ice cream. Now. It's not the regular
No, it's very spicy. It's very spicy. That is not typical Korean chili. Yeah
Okay, this really wakes me up as well. I mean, it's good. It's still good. I would try it. It's fine. I survived
I'll go get some ice cream
my favorite cafe in all of Seoul not not because of
the environment just
Just this one thing they have my third time here. This place been my videos like three times
I'm always coming here. Trust me if you're in Seoul try this once you will be addicted
I mean, I guess if you don't want any addictions, then don't come here. But if you do come here, this will become one of your obsessions
Right, it's amazing you found the best place in Korea really always Wow
But this is really
Anytime I think about dessert. I think about this right now
I'm gonna go back to the US. I'm gonna start shaving random cheese on my ice cream and see which one works out
Restaurant trying to get into lying out the doors like 9 p.m. Now, so it's still packed finally
I'm next but this place looks amazing. Oh, I see the fried rice that I want. Oh
I can't wait for the fried rice. I
Think I found a gym of a restaurant here
Haven't taken a single bite of food
But it's already amazing
Look at the spread in front of me and what he's doing is that they're laying the pork belly on this grill and then they're
Adding kimchi and scallions and green beans where the grease from the pork is
Drifting
Downhill and they put all the veggies down in the pool of grease pork
in the pool pork fat where they just
Soak up all that great flavor and that's how they're cooked and then you take take the meat you dip it in this egg sauce
And then you eat it with some of the kimchi
No wonder this place is always packed it's still like
Full house right now crispy pieces of bacon
There's a perfect racial breakdown of lean and fat meat the fat from that bacon is already
So amazing dip it in some of this creamy egg sauce and the heat from the bacon
it kind of heats up the egg of just a little bit and then you add some of that kimchi or whatever veg has been
Soaking up all that pork fat. So it creates an extra layer of
creaminess I
Mean, this is the perfect way to eat your kimchi or eat any vegetables
I mean having to cook in bacon grease in the egg dipping sauce is really such a genius move
You gotta cook that pork belly to the perfect doneness the first batch
That we did we overcooked a little bit. So it's still nice crispy bacon
Ain't nothing wrong with that
But when you cook it to just when it's just cooked with the maybe a little sear just put down in your mouth and get ready
For the fatty part to completely disintegrate as soon as it touches your tongue here. They designed it
So this whole tray is tilted so that all the grease it's just going into this side this corner right here
soaking into that delicious kimchi creating just this
incredible vortex of flavor and if you think maybe the kimchi or the other vegetables cooked in the
Pork fat might make everything a little too much
Not at all it makes everything with too much flavor the acid the spice from the kimchi
That's a pork belly's best friend that just helps you enables you to eat more without feeling like you're eating too much fat
So right now is about nine o'clock. We wait an hour to get in and
There's a line behind us now
Trying to get in here and this place is open till like 1 a.m. All right, the pork is finished
The best is still to come check it out
This is one of the most beautiful food wonders I've ever laid my eyes upon
Let me do a play-by-play of what just happened and what you're looking at. It's almost Christmas this guy
He could work for Santa. He just bundled and wrapped the fried rice into a beautifully packaged little gift wrap
Thing but before that he put some kimchi in there
Put some different types of little banchan in there and finally to top it off
There's a little cup sitting there catching all the grease all that great fat juice
He took that cup and poured it all into the fried rice
Sealed it and just let it steam there for about 10 minutes
So all the flavor had a chance to just kind of get with each other, you know
And then you get these beautiful looking sunny side up eggs on top of the fried rice
They give you some seaweed sheets and you wrap the rice and the eggs in here and the only thing left to do
Is to deliver it into your mouth
You guys got to come and try this it's extraordinary
The crunch comes from not just the kimchi or the seaweed the crunch also comes from
The parts of the rice that's touching the bottom that has that really nice little toasty
sear on it already and then on top of that you got the creaminess of the egg yolk creating just a
medley of texture and flavor
You know what this really is
This is a testament that the food gods really do exist
But this is some divine inspired stuff. This is an exceptional barbecue place
Not even expensive. I mean, I think the whole thing is gonna cost us like
13,000 won like 10 bucks
for this per person
Still that's a fork in
pork
Pig it's a good deal. Hi, we're just editing this video. Sorry about how this video kind of kind of just ended
We're just editing this video and then all of a sudden we're like, oh wait
There's there's no ending and then I remember because this was a couple weeks ago
Anyway, right after that a friend messaged me and said that they needed to go to the hospital
So I went with them and that's what I was doing for the rest of the night
Nothing culvert related or anything and they're doing fine. So everything turned out
Okay, but I just wanted to explain why this video just sort of all of a sudden cut off
That was really good fried rice, by the way
Just thinking back and were those not some of the most beautiful eggs you have ever seen
Oh and while I have you I don't know if you saw on Instagram, but my hot pot kit is out and
Inside you're gonna find aprons that will say you are a hot pot head scoopy spoons
Chopsticks and this by the way, this is hot pot is called strictly hot pot, huh? And the pot
This is the pot. This thing is actually made for one or two people
It's kind of like an intimate hot pots like a date hot pot
So it's not a giant pot
But we wanted to make something that was like something kind of kind of intimate so you can have hot pot any day of the
Week not just for like a big special occasion with a bunch of people. So with this have been whatever you want
there's also the two broths a
Box of really cool ingredients to put inside
instructions on how to
Find other ingredients if you want to to add into it. It's really cool
This whole thing is really cool. Me and my friends spent a lot of time on this. So hopefully you like it
Oh also this pot supreme quality. So nothing like the ones you see on Amazon. First of all, no fingerprints
The layer is very thick. Nothing will chip off. Nothing will come off
No matter how many times you put this on the heat just a really solid good hot pot
With my signature. Anyway, if you haven't picked one up, I think they're almost so that this kit is almost sold out
And if you already grabbed one, thank you so much. And by the time this video publishes, it's probably almost Christmas
So Merry Christmas. Happy holidays to you guys this year's this crazy year is almost at an end
So hang in there. Stay safe. Stay positive, and I wish you all of you guys a
Fantastic, hopefully much much much better
2021 see you later
