It's time for FOOD ADVENTURE PROGRAM FOR AWESOME PEOPLE!
the dduk-sert edition
Today is actually Chuseok
well, technically it's not Chuseok
it's going to be publishing on Chuseok but we're filming this from the past
it's gonna be October by the time this is published
really?
yes!
inconceivable
*derp intensifies*
the reason why we couldn't film on the Chuseok holiday is that things tend to be closed
people are still traveling home from the holidays
last time that happened we went dancing, right?
Yes
in animal costumes
I mean, we never did that before
*yup*
Anywho little poodle
we decided that we we'd go for dessert today
because we do a lot of savory foods, I've noticed
Did we do any desserts? wait we did a pastry one
We did patbingsu
we went to paris baguettes
*repeats martina*
and then we went for patbingsu
And then we went for korean pizza, which is unbearably sweet as well, so that kinda counts
Right, the cookie crust, what was I thinking?
The place we're going to is called Dango Jib
This is kind of like a Japanese, Korean fusion dduk place
I don't mean like *quakquak* that kind of duck
pounded rice cake
And they serve these adorable little dduks on sticks and stuff
And that really reminds me of Boys Before Flowers , but the Japanese version S: Oh yeah, I know it so very well
Dango something something
So this place either means 'Flower House,' 'Boy House'-
'Spoiled Brat Boy, House!'
...
maybe
let's go eat some dduk cause I really want some sweet delicious foods
so, this cafe is really cute and cool if you want to come with your friends
but, if you don't have any friends, you can just sit at the forever alone table
hello... wall
this is technically onigiri, which is like the Japanese version of jumeokbap, the fist sized ball thingies
and it comes with little tiny miso soups in here
you got the spicy beef one
and I got the vegetable kind
uh
you ready? Let's go!
oh god
hmmm
That is freakin delicious
oh
*hand signing because can't take delicousness*
remember kids
If the meal doesn't have meat in it, it's not a meal, it's a snack
then what if you're a vegetarian
then you only eat snacks
Even though Korea and Japan share similar things
There's always something a little bit off that separates the two flavors
This could be easily made into like a doenjang jjigae
but it doesn't have the doenjang taste to it
this has like more of like a soy sauce taste to it because doenjang doesn't have soy sauce in it
Ummm
Simon's like, "yes... keep telling me more".
Oh yeah, go ahead.
Ummm
So I'm sure eating that should have taken like 10 or 15 minutes for a reasonable person M: what?
but I think we ate that in like three bites.
What are you talking about?
and here's the main event.
Oh, kamsahamnida!
Oh, stirring?
Okay
*Various Ummmmms*
Okay, our desert is out-
'WOOSH!'
-it just-
someone has a sneeze attack
Want to try that again?
Okay yea.
Our dessert is out and it is absolutely adorable
I don't even wanna eat it, I just wanna look at it (SNEEZE in background)
That's like the fourth or fifth time she's sneezed.
We need to focus! M: this is gonna ha-
So our dessert has showed up and *SNEEZE* (M and S laugh)
It's absolutely gorgeous S: laughing
hahaha S: ok
actually *mumble*
No no no...just wait a second...I'm gonna fake it..ready?
Both: mumblemumble
S: mumble *SNEEZE*
Every time I've tried to open my mouth to speak- *SNEEZE*
There you go...
It's like it's trying to silence me or something
So here are the different flavors that we have:
Ok the first one, we ordered is uh...*gang-jang*
That's this one here
Yes.
It has like a drippy sauce on top of it.
What is a gang-jang?
I don't know.
M: It looks like a...thick honey? Or...
S: Like a thick condensed honey?
What does it taste like?
...it's a little bit salty and sweet. This one is the...
..red bean
Ya...gan-pat? dan-pat. Sorry.
Mmmhmm.
Right.
and red bean doesn't sound like a dessert
unless you've been in Asia. They use red beans a lot in desserts.
Like, *KIDNEY BEANS OPEN IT UP AND I DUMP IT IN*
it's not like that. Ya.
Actually, really sweet, really creamy, really delicious.
This one is..um...ddal-gi
the strawberry one
ya. strawberries
Uh-uh.
I just have to say that I think this looks like...
...really unattractive?
but it's actually quite delicious...so um
ya, presentation scale is not so high.
Ya, ok
and the last one is *nokcha*
so it's green tea.
green tea...not my favorite flavor
ever
in the world
but who knows?
it might taste really good
maybe
if you've never tried it
maybe. My money's against it.
everything here is written in Korean, so
we can read it all and we understand what it means
it can be tough if you don't read Korean..because everything-
but I'm pretty sure the point and grunting works
*unhuuhnuu* gesturing
That's how we survived our first few months in Korea.
Ya.
So I have like, a red bean latte
You have to actually stir it when you get it
and then it mixes up the flavors
and then at the bottom you got
*little honey beans*
and Martina got the *yujacha*?
We don't actually have it in North America.
It looks like a giant...yellow...pear?
It's like...
It's in between like a lemon and a grapefruit and orange
Like, a lovechild between all three
ya
It's absolutely delicious.
Let's start trying our delicious desserts!
Here we go
So what dduk actually is...
I'm not even pronouncing it right.
*dUK*
*dduk*
*DDUK*
No, you're going like *DDUUK*
I think-
*DDUUUK*
I think it's like-
I think the angrier you sound is the more efficient
Imagine Super Smash Brothers
*dutudutudutudutudutudutu
Ya.
That's how you make *dduk*
I think if you overbeat the dduk it causes it to be really,
like, tough and chewy
you can beat your dduk too hard
especially if it's a pet dduk and he's naughty and he ate lots of stuff of yours
*quack*
bad duck!
so you take a bite, I take a bite.
[mumbles]...go first
Don't chew it.
It's very interesting, isn't it?
I'm not sure...
It's almost like molasses made with salt.
Ya ya, it's like a salty molasses.
I'm not gonna be having anymore of that.
Really? You didn't like it?
No.
Mm. I liked it.
That's all you.
Yes.
I'm gonna drink my sweetened condensed milk with beans
hehehe
K, let's go for the green tea one.
I think it's made with red bean paste as well.
It's been like...blended up?
Let me wash that down with my sweetened condensed milk
hahah
Poor Simon.
Strawberry.
Please don't let me down.
Now that one is really good.
Th-This one almost has...like the texture
of a...like a...
like a melted marshmallow
the strawberry ones
are the best!
I really like the salty ones
K, well Martina has a really messed up
palate
I love Simon.
You don't EAT Simons.
What do they taste like?
Ranch. Hahaha
This one has some dribbles of like...
You do the first bite.
Mmmkkkk
That's not sweet
That's the first time I've had a...
almost..savory red bean
Maybe we are witnessing red beans in their true form
Cheers to that.
haha
If we had to talk about favorite one
Definitely going for the strawberry one.
I'm going for the salted molasses one.
S: I can't eat this without M: It's that awkward thing
where I'm like...
haaaa...I can't actually
how did you do that?
mmk wait.
hang on.
not a date food I guess.
Th-that was actually
really really good.
it's so soft
This one almost has like, the texture of like a
like a melted marshmallow
sometimes you get like
really really tough tough
but this was just perfectly done dduk
So all together the bill came to
13,000won
around 13 bucks
or...a little bit less
it's seems rather underpricing now that I think about it.
Did he charge us pro-properly?
Not askin'
We could have eaten like...
half of that and we would have
been completely stuffed.
Yes. Now, we are gonna try to show you guys
how to get here
perhaps on our website with a map
we're in like, the Hongbu area we're near
we're near Sangsu station, Hapjeong
so that's the zone that we're in right now.
This time next week, we should be in
Mexico, and L.A.
We're not actually going to be filming anything there
for FAPFAP
but I'm sure that we're probably going to film some programs in advance
hmmhmm
If we DO film something when we're there
we're gonna..
like, film us like, gorging on Mexican food
because we miss it so much.
You're gonna be like:
"You should have breakfast."
and we'll be like,
Mexican fooooood!
What are we gonna call that one?
the MAPMAP?
M: Mexican Adventure-
S: How would the...
M: *mumbles* purrvooor
Mexican Adventure...
Super...
Super Tremennndouus
Sounds like something smelly.
rrrAWESOME
BEST
I had even..
I don't know what you're spelling right now.
AMAZING
haha
Are you trying to spell 'masturbation'?
HAHA S: SHHH!!!!
So that's it for this week's FAPFAP (Food Adventure Program For Awesome People)
M: I'm shreeepy from all the food in my tummy
I know.
It's time for us to take a nap.
ya.
