How restaurant tally orders for Normal person: okay, so 1 plate this,1 plate that, right? Mike: so, your order is one farm of beef, one sea of seafood and one entire seasonal crop with the monthly piclke, okay?
The absolute best beef I've had in the world is Hanwoo in Korea because of exactly what you said Mike. Hanwoo has that perfect balance between lean and fatty. Wagyu is too fatty and American is too lean. Hanwoo just has that indescribably euphoric flavor married with the right amount of tenderness.
I successfully did my first ever solo trip to seoul on christmas,i was inspired by you mike! I never thought solo travelling could be that fun, i was just strolling around,eating,localising🤭 I wish i could meet you someday, and eating together😊
I've been looking forward to doing that in Korea too. I especially want to do the bbq. Did you eat it all by yourself? How is the vibe? Only asking because I've heard that it's better with friends than all by yourself. True? Do share your experience.
Hope your doing well this holiday season Mikey, wish I could buy you a bowl of ramen (since you don't drink) Try to stay positive brother. Be safe out there.
I can never make it to Number 1😍😢 Even though I’m your #1 grandma fan😍 I’m too slow typing 😢 But I promise one day when I retire I can make it to #1 I’m hungry right now 😋❤️🇺🇸
@@queenmonkeyhead tangsuyuk is name of dish..sweet and sour pork. Those dishes, jajangmyun and tangsuyuk, are very popular through out whole south Korea though.
@@junolena Sorry I though you answering the question but instead added FYI for one of the dish.. I really want the address if any viewer out there know it.
Agreed, anything grilled over a charcoal grill makes it next level satisfying. Can't wait to plan a trip to South Korea! We're about to go on a honey moon trip to Singapore in February and we have the entire trip based off your suggestions. So excited!!!!
Hanwoo is just beef from Korea. Kobe is beef from a specific region in Japan that is raised in a certain way. They feed the cows sake and massage them to get better marbling. Wagyu means you raised it like they do in Kobe. Generally speaking, Kobe has a more delicate flavor and tender as all heck. Koreans like a little more texture on their meat.
@@LoebRules nooooo. Wagyu just means japanese cow, not more, not less. Sake and massage is just marketing, they definitely don't do that on a regular basis, but it sounds good to westeners, so they can charge even more for it.
Go to Jonggak Station. Use exit number 3, 8 or 11 (11 will put you closest to the noodles). If you take one of the exits I mentioned, keep walking straight down the street when you get up the stairs. At the first big intersection with a traffic light, take a left. A short distance down the street, the street and sidewalk will veer off to the left. Right there, to your left, you will see a little alley with the food tents. 김 바보 is the last one on the left side of the alley. I was there in May and the Jajangmyeon was still 3,000 won. After eating, if you want to walk off some of that food, go back out to that intersection where the traffic light is and cross the street. That will put you at Tapgol Park 탑골공원. It has a lot in information about The March 1st Movement 삼일 운동. This is the neighborhood where the movement started.
@@n2guns Thanks! I've spent a lot of time in that neighborhood and know it pretty well, but I hadn't encountered this particular place. I appreciate your help.
when i studied abroad in korea this past summer my host mom made me this DELICIOUS jjajangmyeon and jjajangbap then when i went out to a restaurant with my friends from school i ordered jjajangmyeon and i was so disappointed. it wasn’t very good at all. i don’t know if my host mom made it differently but i should’ve asked her for her recipe. anyways next time im in korea which hopefully will be later this year im going on the hunt for the BEST jjajangmyeon and im adding this place to my list :)
The tea reminds me of kim kardashian The melon reminds of pamela Anderson Anthony bourdin will roll over in his grave smh mike chen mike chen oh man.......
And I now know my first Korean bbq destination when I visit Seoul in 24 days 😂 thanks Mikey! Is it bad that 50% of the reason I’m going to korea is for food?
I was born and raised in Seoul for 20 yrs, and live in Chicago for more than 20 yrs. I miss Seoul all the times... I think Mike you are not Chinese American... You are Korean. You describe and select food as Korean would do... Been watching your channel long time. Keep it up with good content and thanks~
I don’t know why but if I’m hungry I just watch a few of mike’s videos and Just watching him eat all those delicious foods satisfies me Idk why my body works like this😂
Going through a brake up now😔 but watching ur videos makes me feel a little better and forget the pain a bit. Thank u strictly dumpling 🙋♀️🙋♀️ Suriname South- America 🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷
I wish you best of luck and good feelings after the break-up! Remember you don't have to be in a relationship to be beautiful and awesome! Sending good vibes from Germany!
I love that you don't only go to popular areas but small cafes and couple owned restaurants. When i travel thats the kind of places i like to frequent. 😊😊
Mike's mom must be the best cook in the world to be able to out do the billions of bowls of noodles he's had
Majormetalitron cokacola come on, you cannot beat the taste of love
Yeah I can imagine the review if she made bad noodles 😱
He probably knows better!😂😂
Nah he hates them
Mama cooks with more love than anyone 😍
I’m so glad Mikey is creating this type of content because it’s the only way it’ll get to taste food like this....through the phone screen 😕
Good enough
Or u can make it
Sad
Same.
True true. I'm watching this vid while I'm eating my broke dish; sunny side egg with rice, and it feels like Mikey sat exactly in front of me and we're eating bbq together.
I feel fancy! 😂
If mike was a character in a fanatics anime he would have chopsticks as his choice of weapon
and a noodle shooting gun :)
That actually sounds cool! I wonder what his tag line would be?
"This is the best I've ever had!"
noein road “Better skedewdle or you’ll get the noodle” Okay, that sounded better in my head...
A hot oil gun is his long range weapon!
Too early for puns? Yes, but I haven't slept in days, seoul have at it.
This deserves a pin
Lionel Hutz on the Simpsons.... "Join me in a belt of Scotch?" Marge: "it's 9:30 in the morning!" Lionel: "yeah, but I haven't slept in days." lmao. Love it!
Me: “How thick was the soup?”
Mike: “Kim Kardashian”
In the beginning at 1:24 Mike says; "perfect noodle weather" lol
It must have been fake to then
Owen Walsh she still looks good tho
and when the food is the best he's ever had it becomes the "halle berry" of that food haha
He says it at 7:28
Mike: people should wear this as a dress
Lady Gaga: Am I a joke to you?!
Mikey makes me want to travel around the world so bad😭
Do it! Life's too short. You'll regret it when you get older like me.
I'd love to as well, but I got too many responsibilities at home.
@@LoebRules Easier said than done bud, travelling takes a huge toll on your bank account lol
That comment gets the Shia Labeouf .... DO IT!!!!
and eat everything you find am I right? I feel you bro.

Korean pork is incredible too.
@@jinkim23 aren't korean porks basically same as americans? i heard they raise the same species.
@@JforAll00 Korea does have native species of Pig. Jeju Pig in particular are highly prized for its flavour.

"You should wear this beef pattern as a dress." There can only be one Lady Gaga my friend. :D
You should collaborate with the Korean Englishman. I would watch the heck out of that.
Korean englishman
Omg yes!
They defo should. I'd pay to see that vid.
A man of culture
I was just thinking about how they were at this same place not too long ago with the twins' series!
Midnight hello from the Philippines! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Someone ate to much and forgot where he bought his steak
Hope your doing well this holiday season Mikey, wish I could buy you a bowl of ramen (since you don't drink) Try to stay positive brother. Be safe out there.
Joey Gartrell he drinks
John Doe he doesn’t
Why doesn't the food markets near me sell these type of meats? 🤔
usda choice/prime are rly good imo. havent had jp/kr stuff tho.
Oh... korea!!
I am your big fan!
니가 왜 거기서 나와

Not suprise😂
Mike: "Look at this beef, beautiful pattern, people should wear this as a dress!"
Lady Gaga had entered the chat

Not alone but for folks broke like me it's nice to live vicariously through these experiences
“This tea reminds me of Kim Kardashian, it is THICC”.

If Mikey said it feeds 3 including himself, that's a party of 5 for normal people. So instead of 60 dollars each, it's 40 dollars each.
아 마장동 마렵다 ㅋㅋㅋ 설명 존나 잘하네 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Thank you for eating Korean food. I'm hungry because I know.🔥
“Let’s go walk around, find some dessert and get ready for diner” 😂
I can never make it to Number 1😍😢
Even though I’m your #1 grandma fan😍
I’m too slow typing 😢
But I promise one day when I retire I can make it to #1
I’m hungry right now 😋❤️🇺🇸
I knew you were gonna upload today so I made kimchi rice to eat while watching you eat so I don't get hungry like I usually do
You should visit portugal, its beautiful and has amazing food!
I'm hungry...
shahnaz parveen who isn’t?
Love u MEUUU book
It seems the best to eat BBQ beef to feel warm in this cold weather😉
Lol. Breaking out the sweaters in Thailand
“This reminds me of Kim Kardashian” “IT IS THIIIICK!”
HAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAAHHA!
This might be, in concept and execution, my favorite channel on youtube
That looks terrific. Thank you for taking us on your journey, I'm very inspired to continue creating my own travel videos, too. Cheers!
Hey Mike, not fair eating a bowl of cereal right now....😔 Absolutely love your channel. Happy eating!!🥀
Chef:How was the soup
Mike:Thick like Kim😂
You should atleast tag your translator in these videos.
If you are in Korea isn’t it just called bbq?
Apparently it's called bulgogi
@@bilastravlog bulgogi is a name of a soysauce marinated beef dish o.o
@@bilastravlog Bulgolgi is a specific dish.
You don’t call it as bbq you say the specific dish ur gonna eat
For example, you would say let’s go out for some samgyopsal not let’s go out for bbq
What would you call mike Chen if he only ate chicken?
Mike Hen “pause for laughter”
His "hot pothead" t-shirt LMAO
If the tea reminds you of Kim k them what your are saying is that the tea has artificial flavor. Lmao
He said it was THICK like Kim K! Meaning her body!
@@bluessence1922 her body is artificial...
If we wanna be pedantic here he is specifically focusing on her thicc booty reference and nothing else.
@@nskpsycho which is artificial.
There is no address for the jajangmeon and sweet sour pork?
FYI, it's tangsuyuk.
@@loveislove2359 Tangsuyuk not in google map.
Love is Love which is sweet and sour pork lol
@@queenmonkeyhead tangsuyuk is name of dish..sweet and sour pork. Those dishes, jajangmyun and tangsuyuk, are very popular through out whole south Korea though.
@@junolena Sorry I though you answering the question but instead added FYI for one of the dish.. I really want the address if any viewer out there know it.
Been to Korea so many times and still can't say tteokbokki correctly lol.
Korea has the best beef in the world, they know their stuff. They're the ones that taught the Japanese how to make wagyu
hey guys sweet and sour pork isn't that cheap usually it's around 13-16 dollars! but of course the portion is bigger. that place he went is unique
Agreed, anything grilled over a charcoal grill makes it next level satisfying.
Can't wait to plan a trip to South Korea! We're about to go on a honey moon trip to Singapore in February and we have the entire trip based off your suggestions. So excited!!!!
120$ dayum,you can eat whole month in my country with that money...and that's for two persons
Where do you live tho?
I've tried wagyu but it was too oily for me.
I tried hanwoo as well and it was more beefier and not as oily.
Just preference I think.
"It reminds me of Kim Kardashian, IT IS THICC."
What a wide figure of speech just for food
Mike for every bite: "there's a CRAZY amount of beef flavour right here"
I was rolling when he said "this tea reminds me of kim kardashian because it is so T H I C C"
It's not a Korean bbq if you don't have scissors to cut the meat 😁
You know Mike Chen loves food when he puts Romance songs in his food videos. Love it!
Anyone saw twice poster in the vid😅
I've never seen Mike that excited over beef. Must of been hella good.
Wagyu is a bit more tender than Hanwoo, but Hanwoo has more rich beef flavor.
yea i prefer hanwoo still juicy but that beef flavor pops and it still fatty
Who else is broke and has no food?
How are you even alive?
MANUEL X instant ramen
This tea reminds me of Kim kardashian because it is thicccc - Dumpling man 2019

Watching this, eating intensely, and just realised my haircut is just like Mikes!
11:07 meanwhile at GUCCI headquarters:
-Write that down, write that down !!
“This tea looks like Kim kardashian...it’s thicc” lmao
Could someone explain the difference in taste between Korean hanwoo and Japanese wagyu and kobe?
Hanwoo tastes beefier while wagyu is more buttery.
Also Kobe is just a region specific wagyu similar to how champagne is to France
Hanwoo is just beef from Korea. Kobe is beef from a specific region in Japan that is raised in a certain way. They feed the cows sake and massage them to get better marbling. Wagyu means you raised it like they do in Kobe. Generally speaking, Kobe has a more delicate flavor and tender as all heck. Koreans like a little more texture on their meat.

Hanwoo is greesier than Wagyu, and Wagyu is more like smell-flavoured beef than Hanwoo.
I thought I recognized Insadong! I'll look for the mom and pop noodle place next time.

I thought you were gonna upload Pakistan video
I prefer hanwoo over wagyu due to its superior beef flavor and I can eat more of it. Wagyu is a bit too buttery for me.
Those plastic containers piss me off a bit.
Agreed.
Why they don't put melamine/ceramic plate, right?
