- Hello! - Hello,
welcome to. - Welcome to TTK.
(relaxing music)
It would be very weird to start this video
without saying hello to everyone
that has recently subscribed.
Welcome to the channel, here's.
- Us. - A cup of tea for you.
- Oh, so if you didn't get this from the last video
that you probably. (shushing)
- You're welcome.
- This is TTK, it's Twins Talk K-Pop, or Korea,
depending on how we're feeling.
- Apparently we move our hands a lot as well.
- I talk a lot with my hands.
- So if you're new here and you haven't already,
press subscribe and hit the bell notification button,
so you get our notifications when we post
on the community tab, by the way,
we wanna do a giveaway soon, and why should they do that?
- Because it's good for your bone calcium levels.
- Today we are trying Korean cookies.
We went to a H Mart, well, we didn't,
we went to an oseyo eats, which is like a cafeteria thing,
but owned by H Mart. - Yeah.
We bought lots of biscuits, which is controversial already,
because I don't know if they're called cookies
or if they're called biscuits.
(bassy electronic music)
- In America, I think everyone calls biscuits cookies,
but over here we call them biscuits,
unless they are a cookie.
We know a lot of you watching our videos
are from South Korea, so we really wanna hear from you
if these are a good selection of biscuits slash cookies
that we're trying and if you like them
or if we've completely missed the mark.
But let's go eat. - Which is probably,
probably that.
- We have these sweet milk cookies.
They look a bit like what we have over here called
custard creams. - Yeah.
And sweet milk is essentially what custard is,
so they look exactly like vanilla Oreos,
which in turn, look like custard creams.
- If you know anything about me,
you know I love a secret recipe.
- Got a little poppy bit in, I love the design aesthetic,
and it opened like a box of tissues.
- Ah!
- Individually wrapped!
- Sweet milk biscuits come in individual wrappings inside
because who cares about the planet?
- These are like rich tea sandwiches.
Rich tea, which is like a plain biscuit.
(dramatic orchestra music)
And it smells like cheese, not like cream.
- It smells a bit savoury.
(crunching and chewing)
- I like it.
- I like it, but it's very savoury.
It is very similar to a rich tea biscuit in the UK
that has been sandwiched with a semi-sweet filling.
And maybe because maybe British food is more sweet
than Korean food.
This was a safe biscuit to start with,
I'm gonna give this. (phone chiming)
Three out of five Korean flags, because I like
the texture and the sensation I get eating it.
- Yeah, I figure I'll give it a three out of five as well
because it's familiar, it's nothing too out there.
I liked it.
The next item on the list is this.
This is the same brand, it's Crown.
These are called.
- These are hazelnut ones
- Cock das-ah, cockdas, which is French for I don't know.
- Yummy. - These look like fig rolls
from the outside, but I don't know what
they're gonna look like on the inside.
Oh coffee!
- Oh it's a coffee biscuit, that you,
like a. - Is it?
- It'll be like one of those biscuits you get on the side
of your coffee in a posh restaurant.
- Yeah, a Vienna coffee. - Posh.
Oh, is it a wafer?
- I don't know, I can't open it.
- Ooh.
This is very odd, it's probably high sugar,
that's why its got this weird texture.
Maybe a cream on the inside,
so it's a sandwich situation again with a nice coffee.
- Gonna eat some.
- This is immediately not for someone that doesn't like
coffee flavoured things, so I'm just gonna.
I love this.
- This is really good.
- The smell is stronger than the flavour.
I'm not really tasting anything other than
just a floury biscuit.
- It's really good.
- I like it. - I don't know
if I'd have that with coffee, though,
because I feel like it'd be a lot of coffee,
like a lot of coffee flavouring.
- I just feel like it was sold to me as a coffee biscuit
and I didn't really taste any coffee,
but I like the texture.
I'm gonna give that two out of five.
I'd give it five out of five if it tasted more like coffee.
- You just said you liked it
and you're giving it a two out of five?
- Yeah, if I didn't like a biscuit, it wouldn't rate.
- I'm gonna give that a three out of five.
- I just, I just feel like there was room for improvement.
I'm sorry if that offends anyone.
- It was light and pleasant, just like me.
- Bintz, a Bintz biscuit?
- Why are you calling it Bintz?
It's Binch. - On the back it says Bintz.
This is by Lotte, who obviously are a massive
manufacturer in Korea.
- They make the chocolate sticks, what are they called?
- Mikado.
- Pepero. - Pepero.
- They make Pepero.
- (gasps) They're like medallions.
- Ooh, little bag and I like that.
- [Sammy] That's so nice!
This design is really cute, it's got a spaceship.
It's got a ship on the front of it.
- [Niki] Oh, mine's got a waggon.
Like an old fashioned car, so not a waggon, a car.
- [Sammy] Tap.
- No.
(lightly taps)
(crunching and chewing)
Okay.
- Again, not super sweet,
more dark chocolate than anything else.
I like this.
- It tastes like a chocolate rich tea,
do we have a chocolate rich tea in the UK?
Yeah we do. - Yeah.
This reminds me of, when you go to your nan's house
and she's got a box of biscuits
and there's that biscuit in there
that's had a little bit too much time getting air to it,
so it's gone a bit soft, that's the one you want.
But this-- - What, that was,
this biscuit wasn't soft.
I would give that a four out of five
because I'm a sucker for some chocolate.
- I like clashing textures, too.
This could potentially be the Korean Oreo.
Is that problematic?
I don't know. - Yeah, well, it's by Lotte,
and these are Lotte sand biscuits.
- What is a sand biscuit?
This seems to be something that is on a lot of biscuits.
Is that the style, sandwich!
- Hmm?
- Maybe Lotte sand means sandwich.
- Oh.
- Let me know in the comments what Lotte sand means.
I feel as though it means sandwich biscuit.
- Yeah.
- Did you open that right? - Ooh!
Okay. - Hello.
- It's a big box and it's got two little packets in it.
These are like lunchbox packets.
Let's not open both, let's open one.
And, okay, they are Oreos.
- Oh, there's six.
In the UK we have Bourbon creams.
(dramatic orchestra music)
Which are this same texture and colour biscuit,
but with a chocolate filling.
I'm gonna just go ahead and eat this.
'cause I'm. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
you don't eat an Oreo like that,
so maybe don't eat them like that.
Ooh.
Smells, it's just cream.
- You can't lick it.
(chewing and crunching)
An Oreo. - It's not an Oreo.
- But, better?
- It's a bit more biscuity than an Oreo.
- I'm gonna have another one.
- So I find Oreos to be quite nothing,
but I know that I want another one.
- I'm gonna give this biscuit five out of five,
just because it's taken what the Oreo does,
but it does it better.
- Yeah, I like the design, I like the flavour,
it's an Oreo though, like I'm not.
I'm gonna give it a four out of five.
- It only makes sense to go on to this one.
This is another Lotte sand biscuit.
It has a picture of a pineapple here as well,
so I'm guessing it's maybe a tropical flavour.
- But on this one it had cream,
which is the flavouring of the filling.
Are these going to be pineapple flavoured biscuits?
- Oh my god, they're tropical!
- [Niki] Oh really?
- They come in a little green pack,
exactly the same as the other ones,
I don't know how this. - Whoa!
- Is kind of not sitting well with me already,
it's tropical flavoured.
- I've never had a fruit flavoured biscuit before,
this is a new experience.
- I don't wanna eat, I don't know.
- It's so.
- It tastes as though I should be eating this like candy.
- I think I like it.
- I don't know.
- I don't hate it though.
Yeah, actually that's the thing, it tastes less like.
So, when I imagine pineapple biscuit,
I imagine it to taste more like a Starburst kinda thing,
but actually, that tastes more cakey than anything else.
'Cause we don't really have fruit flavoured biscuits
in the UK, actually, if at all.
Oh, okay so we have. - Oh, Jammie Dodger.
- Jammie Dodgers, we also have like the ones
with the smiley face, jam and cream in.
- I'm gonna give those one out of five.
- Okay. - 'Cause it just
did not sit well with me. - You're not rating.
I'm gonna have to cut all your ratings out.
I'm gonna give it a two out of five
because I don't know how I feel about it.
I might tweet that I actually like it eventually
because. - Oh, what happened?
- (gasps) These look amazing!
Coconut biscuits, are they?
Special biscuits for your sweet day.
These are coconut biscuits.
- BMBN, do you remember 'em.
(humming)
♪ BMBN ♪
(soft humming)
- [Niki] So I had graham crackers in America,
which are kind of like.
- [Sammy] So boring, graham crackers.
- Yeah, they're like a mix between a rich tea,
a digestive, and an actual cracker, so.
So I'm imagining these to taste a little bit
like a digestive cracker.
- They're all wrapped in these little containers.
- I love it.
(crunching)
- Right, okay. - Not super sweet though.
- It's a biscuit, but it tastes like a nice biscuit.
- I appreciate the simplicity and I can see this
as a staple, traditional biscuit that deserves a high score
of four out of five. - Yeah.
- And it sits well with me, I think it's not trying to be
too adventurous, it's doing what it does best.
- It's really nice, I'm giving it a four out of five.
- This is choco-hazelnut, I am so excited about this one
because I picked it up because it looked weird.
Got choco-haim written on the back.
Oh, it's already open did you have one?
- I honestly haven't.
- Someone's opened our biscuits.
- These are similar to the other ones, I think, but these,
I can already tell, they've got like a--
- [Sammy] These are Crown, these are Crown.
Oh it's a wafer!
- [Niki] I'm on board.
Oh, it looks like a Bueno, like a Kinder Bueno,
but without the chocolate on it.
- [Sammy] Smells delightful.
- Has it got a hazelnut filling?
- That is good.
- That's a Kinder. - This is the best one so far.
- That's a Kinder Bueno without the chocolate on the outside
and I prefer it.
- You can't have it, you're gluten intolerant.
- It's been piped with, how do they make these?
Oh, I guess they have the wafer
and they pipe the chocolate in and put the wafer on top.
But it's really nice, it's got Nutella, essentially.
- Well done, Sherlock.
We've accidentally done these in the right order.
We have a white
hazelnut version. - Ooh.
It looks visually the same.
- [Sammy] It's like a pack of cigarettes.
(calm jazz music)
- I'm gonna eat it and then, show the inside.
- Ah!
- Okay, I'm not gonna do that then.
The biscuit itself has like wave patterns on it,
kinda like a twig.
- That one's good, this one's better.
(crunching)
- Ooh!
- It feels like someone's melted a Milkybar
and put some hazel in it.
I'm gonna give this five out of five.
- I'm gonna give myself-- - Did I give that one
five out of five as well?
- Oh, did we rate it?
- I'm gonna give those ones four out of five
because I then had these ones, which are better,
five out of five.
- I'm gonna give them both four.
No wait, I wanna give them both five
because I think that's exciting.
That's like taking some of the unhealthiness
out of a Kinder Bueno, but still having the Kinder Bueno.
- If you're in the UK and you've got a H Mart near you
or an oseyo that you can pick up some of these products,
definitely recommend these.
- I actually think these were my favourite thing.
Let me know, is there a biscuit that everyone has
in their home in Korea?
Like what is the most popular biscuit
because we probably missed it off here.
- Thank you for watching today's video,
we really enjoyed trying all of these amazing biscuits
from South Korea.
If you've tried biscuits from South Korea
or cookies or whatever you call them.
- If you enjoyed this video, please do give it a thumbs up,
and I'm gonna go eat some more biscuits.
Bye!
