very special dish unique Daegu food that originated here in the 70s it's called
Jjim galbi (Galbi Jjim - 갈비찜 ) basically it's steamed beef ribs that are spicy and this particular
area there's a famous street for it where there are 12 different restaurants
I can't wait to try this this is actually a Korean dish I've never had
before it's super exciting for me follow along and let's see some delicious
Korean food together so walking down the street I've already found vendors
selling traditional Korean dry goods such as red peppers dried fish and
behind me was a store selling Korean Street food they had dokbokki so this
entire neighborhood there's a famous singer called
Kim Kwang Seok yeah he's oh he's a musician he wrote a lot of songs
basically they have a lot of guitars all over the place and his murals and is
actually a statue of him we're gonna see that now but this area is actually
called the bank wan market traditional market that has culture and art I mean
it's a little dead right now it is like a Wednesday right so what's it like for
that's what is that more I think people who are like you know people really
working right now this side right there it's like a few little bars I mean we're
not really drinking right now so we're gonna stop there we're gonna continue to
the market see a little more and then go to the street and see the murals one
thing I just noticed is that every single street that leads towards the
mural Street has a guitar on the floor this one has a green guitar the other
one had a red guitar and there's a lot of murals look at this Wow
all the streets are covered in murals great for any Instagrammers
so this area's kim kwangseok streak you see a lot of vendors selling various
things I found an arcade already on a place where you can shoot a toy gun and
win surprises very touristy very colorful lots of murals it's a very
fascinating Street yeah this area is a little busier we thought initially the
market was a little bit dead but we just hadn't gone to the right area all right

the semi-tropical Island South Korea and it's very very popular as Koreans

seem to go there as much which which is a shame and I've never gone so I guess

say right I knew when choke was left don't put it all straight and it like
halfway through the cab ride I remember what right was I think it's a run choke

arrived this is the galbi jjim 갈비찜 Jjim galbi I can't remember which is which
oh we came and we got a lot going on so let me introduce this yeah so we've got
tons of banchon we have I think this is a spicy fish that has a like a spicy
glaze on top peppers and onions let me sit have the benefit of knowing that
David found this really spicy these two dishes so I'm only gonna try a bit I'm
gonna touch the pepper onion we got the ssamjang sauce best Korean sauce it's a
combination of red pepper paste and soybean paste oh my gosh I love that we
have a basic jigae it's got some meat in there you've got a good beef
so a beef do you get over here a simple salad with mayo base it's a combination
of fruit and vegetables I see carrots cabbage and iced tea raisins over here
more cabbage we're good the dried seaweed one of my all-time favorites
we have full white radish soup we've got garlic and green pepper and we have
honey glazed peanuts and of course the star of the show man is Harry here Jjim Galbi
called me the Galbijjim 갈비찜 we've got lettuce which we use lettuce
and other kinds of greens which we use as wrappers so we basically take this
and put in there I'm going for all the side dishes so going for spicy first
dude you said that this price is so I'm being super careful here
that's potent who hate you at first I thought it's more sweet and spicy hot
spice lingers man staying in my throat right there I still feel it I'm going to
try the onion and other pepper so this should be fine
my some refreshing juicy let's get after the Jiga Jiga Jiga Jiga alright so we
got the meat oh that's delicious that's better than your average Jigga
Roberto there's more men in there speak stick piece of mushroom - oh that's
spicy Oh everything's blazing trying to try
the solid set of it a carriage got a bit of reason it's tasty but I'm not a huge
fan of the mayo dressing let's try some seaweed nori inhabits with rice we both
decide not to get it hmm I really got all day long on its own and I've tried
to me alright time to try this radish soup so grabbing your radish so cool is
like I got a brain freeze you know I bite into ice cream oh I should've known
better because I actually saw the ice on it before it melted we're fine enough
garlic and peppers for a long time we'll go for some peanuts mmm super delicious
place plantain know what all you guys have been waiting for what I've been
waiting for time to try the Galbi Jjim 갈비찜 charge all the way down so what do you need to do here
because it's Billy's ribs basically soft ribs is that you do have the bone so I'm
grabbing the bone here what I need to do is cut the meat off of
the bone this is beef here I just did that piece drop like dock so I really
want to teach this so before trying with the lettuce I'm just gonna put it down
like that try directly on its own Oh oh my goodness I'm so good do such a
rich spice that's whatever we're not overly potent in terms of the spiciness
it's just got a rich rich sauce super soft tender
this melt-in-your-mouth oh my gosh that silver I've never tried anything quite
like it in Korea before it's like super different from anything I've had my next
white I'm gonna grab a piece again cut it like so I'm gonna take this big piece
man I like I like this so much how you eat it take it like that
pop it into the lettuce then what you do is you grab some of the Samsung which is
the best sauce put it on there I could put garlic in there fool you
know what I'll do this is my own little twist I don't know if you're supposed to
do this but seaweed man why not that's a real good bite wrap it all up the only
thing left to do is to pop it so tender the key for me if you want to enhance
the taste is to make sure you put in the Samsun that saw springs into 10s updates
is but overall this is fantastic I would put ball Galbi jjim jim galbi up with any of
the Korean barbecues in terms of like the quality I eat that with dalkgalbi all
be the chicken one for some cups all the pork form all the Korean barbecues are
amazing guys like if you come to Korea and you'd like to eat me feel like
barbecue I'm gonna try them all all really different from each other but
this one is one of the best for sure absolutely love it and we have so much
meat so enough rambling we just need to talk into this food man I mean this is
the best beef in the world Wow all right so I'm gonna do something a little
different this time Madhu a Sam did this perfect perfect
right there some of the sauce here malicious say I'm John it's the best
time job and then go in and grab some of this tastes so good with the with the
seaweed you're gonna love it pop it up make it a little cubes remember it's a
one-hit wonder disappear no yeah you saw would be they
have to bring it to America please please please bring it to Canada - all
right so good wrap the ball I'm like falling a little Korean food I'm gonna
put it up there with like Indian Italian Korean so I'm just meeting with the
owner here what a fantastic meal that is the best beef we've had in Korea you
absolutely loved it thanks so much we had such a great experience this
restaurant is a original and of course the restaurant over here
lots of Carney opinion last table okay tuck if you like it spicy and you like
your garlic and your like nice tender meat this is a place to come we loved it
I can't recommend that more highly best Korean beef barbecue in the world thank
you no blew me away it was hot oh my gosh what an awesome
meal it was so nice to meet the owner Tony Choi he's a second-generation
owner of the restaurant I gotta admit he gave David and I a free
meal at the end which is so generous of him but if you're interested to know the
price it was 18,000 won per person man palawan the alcohol was 4,000 won
amazing value the most delicious beef we've had in Korea oh my gosh he told us
the secret it puts so much garlic in there garlic lots of spices homemade
sauce that's what makes it so delicious absolutely love that you we caught a cab
just in time my God thank gotten a free meal man no he's still tingling that
mouth but I loved it it's great such a nice service such a nice homeboy
and the owner man what a great guy - nice weight tonight he spoke perfect
English yeah just a meal while it was a where we said
18,000 18,000 won so I mean super affordable 15 bucks per person yeah
blew me away to good and right now we have like I think 36 minutes before our
train leaves there perfect timing we're only like a five-minute drive and to get
there smoothly we got it man what a day in Daegu but this is probably one of the
funnest days right one of the funnest days makes me realize that I wish we had
at least one more full day maybe even two more days this is like a weekend or
long weekend kind of destination there's enough time here one day isn't enough
yeah I mean if you're into independent travel going places exploring for a day
do it yeah do it and again one hour from Seoul when I'm from Busan buh buh buh
buh buh buh back at dong Daegu station I don't look at this around the big brick
that got like drop on it yeah Thank You Department sir this place is like ultra
modern man ultra futuristic and what a time in Daegu now we just have to keep
the ex we have tons of time 35 minutes so we'll just go chill for a bit pop
back on the train have some final thoughts when we get to Busan where we
going platform 7 we're actually leaving at 2002 8 minutes early I love it hello
that's good
one of the reasons I like to arrive at the train station a little bit early is
I just find it so fun to watch the trains arrive in two part especially
here because the KTX trains are just so smooth they come in so smoothly the
depart slowly but then they pick up speed the accelerates very quickly it's
just a fascinating experience and our train should be here any minute you know
in the wrong area ran a bit and I'd be like at your cart number no matter what
because and now you'll miss it we have like one minute it's like it's pretty
quiet but you know there's no move to the front we'd already have a view
obviously it's a nighttime mistake the worst have a travel up on the caduceus
help outside the window tunnel tunnel simply every y5y a really
relaxing back relax back in busan and imagine busan back in busan then we
did it 50 minutes crazy it's like shorter than a metro ride in some cities
yeah no for sure seriously in Tokyo he's an hour something against him yeah yeah
especially when you have to transfer it's crazy direct direct on time not a
minute late anyways we had a fantastic time in Daegu I mean I'm so glad we
decided to go we actually had like two or three different day trips on our mind
and eventually we decided to go with a GUI or sure is that the right decision
or not I think it was a great to sit now I think so too I mean it was probably
the best experience we've had in terms of a different experience in the city
very local you know we visited the market amazing
market yeah and we also did the tower tower cable power cable car the mural
street we had a beer and the best best place to be for all time all time of all
time and a gift galbi jjim 갈비찜 -jim gulping what was it - whatever the name is yeah
yeah amazing and then yeah just what a day it made us realize too that you know
we would have liked to have had more time in Daegu maybe another day another
day and a half who knows if you're going to Korea and you're looking for things
to do consider putting Daegu on your itinerary it's fantastic guys if you
