good afternoon good afternoon guys greetings from sunny Busan South Korea
today is a really exciting episode because we're going to be keying in on
Korean Street food in Busan we're at the Busan International Film
Festival market area there are tons of Korean Street food vendors you can get
everything from classics like tteokbokki (떡볶이) to other kinds of Korean Street
food like mandu (만두) there's waffles we actually scouted this
area out the other day like 2 or 3 days ago when we're in Busan and we're like
we're gonna come back here and try the street food so that's exactly what we're
gonna do Busan is known for its International Film Festival it's been
taking place annually since 1996 and so this area is famous also for buying
souvenirs we're gonna go check it out he's a much Korean Street food as we
possibly can can't wait to get started
walking around here I've noticed some different kinds of street food options I
haven't seen in any other Korean street food markets before it was actually more
like Chinese and Taiwanese type of things got kinds of waffles and also
like fruit that's been fat like a glaze on top
yeah a strawberries yeah that's really different really different but here we
have the Korean food dude I can't wait to try this as things we will start off
with this tteokbokki (떡볶이) and anyeonghaseyo tteokbokki almaeyo sam cheon won hago mandu alma eyoyo o cheon won I'll be on my own
guys we're starting off with classic Korean Street food with tteokbokki (떡볶이) the
spicy Korean rice cakes and fish cakes as well this lady was so kind she added
sundae (순대) the korean blood pork sausage so this has like intestines and rice and
other things in there over here we've got the odeng fish cakes and over here we've
got the tteok which makes the tteokbokki (떡볶이) in a very spicy thick red gochujang
sauce like this he's more intensely red than the gochujang
dong sauce that you find in thoughtful three and four I'm noticing that it
right away before I've even had a fight and I should mention this is 3,000 won
Muhsin three u.s. dollars for this generous portion this big bowl of it I'm
gonna go for the tteok first hmm wrong big rice cake this sauce is to die for
result thick it's so rich spicy sweet through I love it man I love it
no I'm going for the sundae (순대) oh man this is coated in the gochujang
you try this you're gonna love it it's just unbelievably tasty rich chewy
absorbs all the sauce one thing left for me to try is the fish cake what's also
been like covered and sauce supersaturated in the gochujang sauce
mmm everything is just so good in this bowl like all three items I just
alternate between all of them and they're delicious now the other thing
that we got also 3000 Won was a gun-mandu (만두) deep-fried mandu and what I asked her
to do specifically was put the gochujang sauce on that's the red pepper
paste sauce because it tastes unbelievable having a fried mandu with
the red pepper paste loss from grabbing some right here
just like this probably be piping hot by the way so I gotta take a careful bite
blow on a bit don't wanna turn my gums on the first Street food item boom I got
those are pork dumplings dude it's unreal it's like next-level good I like
this actually more than the tteok then the rice give it more than the soondae even
more than the odeng (오뎅) of fish cakes this to me is the number one one more
bite incredible in all of this will lessen six US dollars it can't be them
and they gave us more complimentary things with this meal nicest lady here
you got to come to this stall basically the soup that you get with the odeng
those fish cakes and it looks like this it's just a nice warm salty refreshing
soup it resets the palate a little bit because man that is some very spicy red
pepper paste sauce so you want to have this to kind of just cut the aftertaste
a little bit you cleanse the palate for the next dish exactly especially if
you're getting something else out there so overall man I'm thrilled with what we
how it started off like this we started off as Korean Street food tour with a bang
the tteok-bokki (떡볶이) with extra sundae (순대) with the Odeng (오뎅) and then the mandu (만두) with the
gochujang sauce that is thriller man wait till you try that mandu (만두) David you're
gonna love it
dude we've got Dakgangjeong (닭강정) next what is that
so it's basically deep-fried chicken you can see here doing it right here she's
frying the chicken yeah then it goes over there and she's putting delicious
sweet and sour sauce so it's not spicy comes in three sizes okay you know three
sizes small medium large 3,000 5,000 10,000 so they're two dollars five
hundred ten dollars we got the three dollar one small I think overdo it right
and then put a rice cake to rice cakes on top just to give it an extra little
dessert flavor to it right yeah yeah can't wait to try it man I love that you
know what I love about this place also for each vendor it has little stations
you can Standish eat yeah so it's like you have to be moving the whole time no
no hurry in somebody's way eating very convenient for the customer yeah so
pumped to try this chicken deep-fried Korean chicken (Dakgangjeong 닭강정) with glaze I love it Oh
I got big piece cooked to perfection on the outside you were saying that this
chicken is double fried you read about that what's a minute a so crispy on the
outside juicy moist in the middle I take it back about this being a spicy sauce
it's not it's sweet and sour mostly sweet mmm it's almost like a dessert
chicken just so good and we're gonna try the rice okay also comes with that time
to try that rice cake as orbs all the sauce I just love that sauce between
this sauce is sweet sauce from the tteok bokki (떡볶이) sauce I can alternate between
the two hold on one more visit chicken is just so 11 honestly I don't think I'm
country that's right you're getting better than Korea I'm like they just do
the best of the best what do you get it a bar on the street just unbelievable is
up oh that's unreal so tasty this is
only our second food item - we're gonna go strong at least several more next up
this is a food that I actually find repulsive it as if I this is one of the only
Korean foods I hate I'm trying this because I've never I've never shared it
with you guys probably one of the more traditional korean street foods
especially popular amongst the older generation it is called Beondegi (번데기)
silkworm larvae and it just has a smell that oh it doesn't smell edible when I
walk by it smells like insects and it is and the worst part about it is when you
eat it it bursts and you get that the juices the juices oh my gosh I'm gonna
I'm gonna eat it for you guys I'm gonna eat it for you guys
he appears it with a skewer oh look it's so bad it tastes as gross as it look oh
one more oh oh oh my gosh I knew already pre-planning what I'm gonna get next I
need to get this awful aftertaste out of my throat before you're done pulling on
mouth one just one
it's so bad isn't it oh my gosh it's freakin disgusting I can't have any more
like I'm gonna gag get serious talk
so I am trying the rules marshmallow ice cream never had this before it's really
cool so basically what he did they pulled out a vanilla block he had like
one of those flame roasted ads as indicated he torched it torch them and
it's actually denser it's thicker than what I thought gonna try this here just
like a giant marshmallow oh that's so good it's like you're having it like you
know the marshmallow you have when you roast over the fire just like that first
bit of perfection on the outside marshmallow
around the perimeter I think there might be an ice cream layer deeper down let me
try I mean miss vanilla marshmallow has to have ice cream that's what it is so
it's virtual around the perimeter then you have ice cream in the middle I've
never had that before look at that so tasty
this one is 4,000 won four dollars men if you have a sweet tooth you got to try
this it's so good
as you reach the perimeter of the market things change from street food vendors
to fortune tellers and also fruit and vegetable sellers
Oh
guys next up we're trying Garibi (가리비) and my goodness
when I saw this I had no idea that was gonna be the performance that it was
that was incredible what did you think about it I thought it was insane I mean
we we are here in Busan this is a port city so we have to eat seafood do you
realize you're gonna do performances like that with the fireman no it's crazy
I loved that I loved it and so what we have here is a scallop obviously and
he's put some various sauces on here it's been some melted cheese I believe
oh my god nuke sick thing a nuke this baby Oh so tender mmm because it's got some cheese too
tomb let's waste our sauce Oh massiseyo destroy Oh mmm so delicious
Brook form this is really kind of our first taste of the sea isn't it out here
in Busan not the last that's for sure so juicy so fresh street food in busan is
proving to be on par I take better than Seoul so far better than any Street food
I found Seoul Busan you've impressed me mmm love an account
or to mention the price for one of these 3,000 Won Sam cheon Won I'm someone two of them owed
someone 5,000 won so you say 500 won per dish by getting two of them so if you
have a friend dropped it so something really cool because this is the Busan
International Festival they have had prints of famous actors who've come and
just put it there print on the ground sort of similar to I think like the
Hollywood Walk of Fame or whatever that they have in LA and yeah it's just a
cool little out of touch while you're walking you'll notice them
I'm gonna say anyeong haseyo welcome you know you go on my own
yeah seygae take it go on and guys we're finishing off our Korean Street food
tour here in Busan with something sweet in my one hand I've got waffle with
cream in the middle I'm not entirely sure what this is looks like a little
mini waffles so I'm gonna start with that mmm oh wow completely different
than what I thought it's like waffle batter but in the
middle is like um like a sweet um I think it's like a sweet white bean look
at that middle can you see that using out bean sauce so totally different than
what I thought it has like a sweet white bean kind of paste in the middle mmm good
all right although I've had what if you sweet so I don't need any more all right
Last thing we're going to try there's a waffle I'm gonna break that bad boy in half so I
have a piece David as a piece and this waffle appears to have like cream in the
middle it's crispy on the outside mmm it was like whipped cream in them at
all really sweet whip family I was definitely satisfying my sweet tooth she
talked about the price this is 2000 Won each one one and the three little balls with
the bean paste in the middle three four one thousand one : 1 less than 1 less
than 3 u.s. dollars for both dessert items and yeah street food has been
fantastic overall I mean obviously the Beondaegi wasn't everything else is
pretty delicious
dude what'd you think of the street food first time having street food in Busan
huh I love them in the food here is how to control I mean I think to better in
Seoul maybe I don't know the trip maybe maybe maybe maybe they both have their
own charm here they have the seafood after which is amazing the scallops it
blew me away but they also a lot of us know the house a king crab yeah yeah so
many simple dishes we didn't go all seafood just because a lot of its really
pricey cuz it's a turistic area that's right but uh but yeah we're gonna try it
on watch and so what we're doing is we're walking it off or heading to a
nearby park and along the way this is a very popular shopping district area like
Saturday people are out there out shopping they're out eating it's a
bustling hive of activity yes so we're going to Yong Doosan Park which means
dragon head mountain it's it's 69 thousand square meters of park land with
over 70 species of trees and yeah it's one of the top tourist attractions in
the area you have to visit like part of the top tens of the city and it's right
here I mean it's just like a short five minute walk walking distance let's go so
right now we are on the way to Yong Dusan Park and we actually went a little
bit too far we had to backtrack of it and then take it right and right now
we're riding up an escalator I had no idea that you took an escalator to get
up to the park
David what an afternoon and man it's been incredible we did like pigs we ate
a lot it was all delicious my favorite thing has to go the first thing we try
just by happy the tteok bokki (떡볶이) so definitely if you're coming to Busan you
have to check out the Busan International Film Festival area not
just street food but also great for shopping great for people watching great
souvenirs the other nice pedestrian walkway and then you after that you come
up to this park yeah explore the park if you want even go up
to busan tower 120 meters tall they have an observation deck going do that
another day though we're gonna save some activities to the other days that were
here the time-being man if you enjoyed this video you know what to do thumbs up
