to be places that are open and there it
is hop out place open 24 hours a day I
actually said it was open 24 hours a day
but it's actually closed no matter can
always depend on
[Applause]
7-Eleven
[Applause]
smells so
good that's some absolutely delicious
microwave kimchi fried
rice also one of my favorite things to
get in convenience stores are intestines
and pig skin didn't have pig skin so op
for intestines this thing was cooking in
the microwave it was H like it smell of
funk filling up the 7eleven look at this
whole pieces of garlic tons of spicy
sauce this goes great with
rice m I tried this before last time I
was here it's ridiculous how good these
intestines are great texture it's super
spicy tastes that nice fattiness also
whole chunks of garlic with just a
little bit of that intestin funk there
were more restaurants that were open if
I kept walking down but if you're
starving like I was you want a really
satisfying meal can always find that at
any convenience store if you do go for a
convenience store meal get the pig skin
with the intestines
amazing
basket Robins is like a whole different
store here in South Korea and they make
a heck of a strawberry milk that's was
incredibly satisfying we're going to go
get a little sleep going into a
breakfast buffet later
today all right I just took a glance at
this Buffet this might be one of the
most impressive all you can eat Korean
breakfast buffets I've ever seen and
before getting started just want to give
a big thank you and shout out to the
sponsor of this video surf Shar bpn I
mentioned this before surf Shar bpn is
one of the only app I leave running
continuously on my laptop on my phone
and if you are not utilizing a VPN
service right now I highly highly highly
encourage you to do so there's so many
benefits of using surfvpn biggest thing
for me peace of mind nowadays there's so
many people trying to get access to your
digital information from data
aggregators collecting your personal
information to sell to marketing
companies especially when you're
traveling you're connecting to all sorts
of different Wi-Fi hotspots at cafes
airports hotels and most of the time
these are not secure at all so when I
leave search VPN running in the
background the VPN which is a virtual
private Network encrypts and secures my
personal info before it goes over the
Internet so people who don't want having
access to your private information or
your IP address they won't have access
to it also surf shark has something
called surf shark alerts so when someone
is trying to gain access to something
like your email you will be notified
right away and you can actually change
your locasion using surfvpn so if you're
traveling abroad like I am right now you
want full access to any us websites
including all the US streaming services
all you got to do is change your
location back to the US and you won't
miss your favorite movies or TV shows
and I mentioned this before a lot of
times major US websites won't even
function correctly when you're overseas
so to pay my bills I use search rvpn for
that and right now there's a special
Black Friday deal so go to my link down
below use my promo C Mikey Chen and get
up to 6 extra months for free and you
can try it out for 30 days if you don't
like it for any reason you get your
money back so piece of mind for less
than a cup of coffee a day all right
can't wait for
this

very well adding A Little Cucumber to it
for some crunch
fantastic I can sip on this broth all
day
long oh that shrimp is so
[Music]
sweet I think that's a snapper and every
piece of fish as fresh as can
be that's like pure butter this is some
amazing sushi at this breakfast buffet
I've never seen that before in my life I
mean sushi for breakfast I think it's a
great move also just look at this juicy
pork belly tons of fat put a little
mustard on here this is not your typical
breakfast ham at
all there's some good melty fat on the
slab belly so Smoky and juicy Chase it
was some Bunch them

pork jaw as well there's Bogi some
mackerel and anen egg as
well chemistry dumpling dun get into my
anen
egg why
not this is a really creamy dip I love
skims was one of my favorite things ever
these things are just so incredibly
crunchy I think the Bogi flavor is good
a little tough though I love how this
Buffet has fresh Wasabi that stuff is
good on all the meats but Wasabi on my
pork
neck that's actually really really
tender also I managed to snag a piece of
pork belly that's all
fat oh that's just the best
piece
this Mac so good good amount of fat tons
of flavor in your ha especially the edge
pieces that's almost pure
fat also I got what they call eye opener
it's pear in
ginger oh that's really really good not
too spicy I mean I call a plate of sushi
and eye opener for breakfast but this
works
[Music]
too they also of course have all the
classic breakfast items out a bunch of
pastries bread and a dessert
bar maybe avoid this it's not a great
croissant it's really doughy and tough
Danish
beautiful this is superb light flaky
crunchy beautiful juicy popping
grap that's so good also this is their
seasonal cake it's a fig cake I think
with strawberry jam
inside well that just like a cloud and
I'm sure you don't hear this a lot but
trust me if you're you ever do come here
eat your cake for
breakfast this is the most moist bouncy
Airy delicious cake in all of buffet
land that's one of the best things on a
buffet
donut M this is really good donut with
Jam inside it's very pillowy and
bouncy M this is a strawberry
pudding that's delicious and this is a
sway milk pudding
oh this is really really good kind
tastes like a tofu pudding with some
nuts inside with some cacao beans mildly
sweet so much flavor wonderful texture I
mean pretty much whatever you want for
breakfast this Buffet is going to have
it everything's so good here this is
definitely one of my favorite Hotel bu
fish can't really overdo it because got
a packed food day coming up and right
now time to hit to a bakery where they
serve up a castella that's maybe one of
the most beautiful in the
world now time for some dessert in this
place mostly makes one of the most
delicious and definitely the most
beautiful castella cake maybe
ever what's really cool is that every
single room is a different color this is
definitely the most colorful C I ever
been to got my castella cake and they
make a cream that you pour on top that
pretty much looks like what unicorns
eats look at
that
[Music]
this is the most beautiful cake feel
like I'm eating a fairy tale right
[Music]
now it doesn't just look beautiful I
think it taste amazing as well oh that
is so good it's a rainbow of colors but
also a rainbow of flavors as well the
cake itself extremely spongy and light
the rainbow that I basically just dri
grizzled on top of the cake creamy not
overly sweet the cake is incredibly
moist little nutty flavor with a
slightly sweet finish it's it's such a
luxurious taste that feels both
indulgent and comforting inside the cake
itself there's a layer of cream that
adds even more creaminess to each
bite of again the most beautiful pick
I've ever seen this is absolutely a work
of art both visually and taste wise wow
I mean I didn't think it was going to
taste this good like I said it looks
like what unicorns eat and it tastes
absolutely magical and this is the
regular cake I got some different flavor
of cakes and creams to try out
[Music]
too also I got a
chocolate oh that's really good and I
paired the chocolate cream with the
matcha cake got that great hint of
bitterness from the matcha cake with
that rich velvety chocolate and there's
matcha cream inside this cake too I mean
both the cream and the cake beautifully
made I mean the last one tastes like a
unicorn themed fairy tale this one
tastes like an enchanted forest I mean I
don't know exactly what an enchanted
forest tastes like but I think it tastes
like
[Music]
this
last cake strawberry with pink cream
looks like some crystallized sugar on
top this is probably the best tasting of
the three cakes I mean it's just so much
strawberry flavor both from the cake and
the cream itself I taste real
strawberries in here so it's very fruity
the beauty of this cake is is that not
overly sweet at all even with the
cream it tastes so fruity that cream is
just perfect with this beautiful Airy
cake yeah this is definitely my favorite
cake I don't think this is the most
beautiful one that title definitely goes
to the unicorn cake but the flavor is
incredible this is such a cool
experience I mean both visually and
taste wise this thing tastes as good as
it looks definitely come here and give
this a
[Music]
try after cake time for barbecue this
one's really unique I'm at a Northeast
Chinese barbecue called H call stand
this place just opened up a few weeks
ago I think less than a week old and
it's already a line out the door every
single
[Music]
day
[Music]
I got a couple of their signature dishes
one is their eggplant I think with a
fried ball of cheese in the middle never
seen it cook this way before fried
eggplant definitely never seen a cheese
ball in an eggplant dish before but look
at this crispy on the Outside Inside
stretchy mozzarella let's try this
first I mean has a giant fried ball a
fresh mozzarella that's always
good the eggplant is
awesome the texture is everything with
this dish beautiful subtle crunch on the
outside nice fragrance from the sesame
seed inside delicious soft eggplant
that's just bursting with this three
natural juice the flavor is a little
peppery a little spicy this is like the
perfect combination of seasoning where
it adds that nice flavor but also
highlights the natural sweetness and
juiciness of the
eggplant and just cover that with some
of the stretchy
cheese this is a fantastic fantastic
dish if you love a plant you will love
the heck out of
[Music]
this another is a is fried jumbo shrimp
covered in male so the shrimp has little
bits of fried inoi mushrooms on top and
is a giant giant shrimp all these dishes
so
beautiful this is so so good delightful
crunchy shell inside jumbo juicy plump
sweet
shrimp this thing is fries so well the
mayonnaise is creamy a little sweet I've
had similar dishes like this before this
might be my favorite just the quality
and the size of the shrimp they use here
so much meat so much sweetness just like
the eggplant such an awesome
texture these are a couple their siner
Trad dishes I would highly recommend
them both but this is a barbecue plate
so let's try the
[Music]
barbecue
[Music]
so what's really unique about this
barbecue is look at how big the skewers
are never seen skewers like this before
this looks like something you will carry
with you when you're hunting Dracula and
they told me that's because in
northeastern barbecue you want to get a
giant chunk of meat you want to get a
giant chunk of fat with every single
bite and that requires a giant skewer
and I got the combo platter which comes
with chicken there's lamb there's beef
there's pork there's corn there's bread
and of course is wooden charcoal so you
got that delicious wood charcoal
fragrance and smell coming from the
barbecue look at the sizzle on that meat
there's little nooks on the barbecue so
it's easy to turn and all the meat is
already
marinated I think this one's ready I
think this is a lamb
skewer oh my gosh this is freaking
ridiculous no wonder there's a line on
the door every single day without any of
the dipping sauce they provided this is
already so good juicy ridiculously
tender dunk it into some of the cumin
and Chili's roast the cumin a little
more to release the
flavor that is absolutely out of this
world I mean everything from meat
quality to juiciness to the amount of
fat that's in every single bite it's
absolutely perfect I'm just going to one
bite this
thing every piece perfect meat to fat
racio kind of burn my chicken wing a
little bit
you get that beautiful smokiness of the
war charcoal in every single bite this
is definitely a place where every bite
it's just so
satisfying chicken pork lamb everything
is so good I got a piece here that's
just full of fat and I like just putting
this whole thing in my
mouth bigest difference between these
skewers and the smaller skewers I've had
this is way juicier cuz that wood
charcoal SE all that beautiful juice of
the meat and with these bigger skewes
you can have a bigger piece of fat which
just gives you more
flavor this peas right here I just pure
roasted
fat out of this worldl they also brought
this check this out this is reminiscent
of how you eat a peeking duck so they're
suggesting take a piece of meat um wrap
it in this crepe some scallion cucumbers
so I'm going to take a piece of the pork
piece of the Lamb scallion cucumbers
dunk the meat in sauce wrap it
up and besides the meats they have other
things you can barbecue roasted corn you
can toast some
buns sponge cook pretty
quickly this will go really good with
the meat also every skew taste that
delicious smokiness of the cumin the
chili sesame
it's not the sweet corn it's the more
starchy kind wow it definitely tastes a
lot of the Heat and cumin and for
dessert toasted
marshmallows marshmallow over a wood
charcoal fire delicious and fun this is
such a cool delicious experience if you
are ever in Soul you want to try a
Northeastern barbecue that's like no
other check this place
[Music]
