H: Today on twoplustwo:
B: Convenience Store Dining!
H: Here in Seoul, South Korea,
H: there's about two convenience stores on every block.
B: If you're hungry at any point of the day
B: you have somewhere to go
H: This is especially true after a night out
H: ...and it's about 3~4am
B: But what exactly can you eat and buy from a convenience store?
H: 'Cause it'll be different from the ones in your home country
B: So in this episode we're going to be showing you...
B: ...what you can make at a convience store!
H: Bapmokja & Haeppy style!
B: Let's get cookin'!
H: We're going to do a 3-course meal:
H: an appetizer, a main course, a dessert...
H: ...and we're going to pick a drink
H: I know exactly what I'm gonna do
H: Boom!
(Nongshim Shin Ramyun)
H: 'Errbody knows Haeppy likes ramyun!
H: So you can't just have ramyun, right?
H: You gotta make this spiffy
H: You gon' make it nice
H: Right here!
H: Cheese!
(Sprinkle n Eat Natural Cheese (Cheddar & Mozzarella))
H: We gon' do lots of cheese!
(Cheddar & Mozzarella ft. Ramyun Slurp Mozzarella)
H: You'll se- you'll see what I'm gonna do with it
H: Don't worry!
H: You'll see!
H: Every ramyun...
H: ...needs meat!
H: So, right here you see it's a 2+1...
H: ... that means I pretty much have to get 3, right?
H: Because why not?
H: K, what else do I need?
H: Eggs!
H: Every ramyun needs eggs!
H: This right here...
H: ...half-boiled eggs
H: Koreans, after they've eaten something with soup...
H: ...they put rice in the soup so they can...
H: ...eat all of it
H: That's what I'm gonna do!
(Hetbahn Cooked White Rice)
H: But... we fancy!
H: We fancy here!
H: So this is what I'm gonna do:
H: This gon' be fried chicken AND sausage cheese ramyun...
H: ...with eggs!
H: Oh, it smells so good!
H: I don't know how good it'll be...
H: ...but it smells really good!
H: I'm gonna get the non-spicy version
H: I'mma get this fat piece in the back!
H: Look at this FAT piece of chicken!
H: YES!!!
H: Alrighty
H: So this is all for my main course
H: What am I gonna do for dessert?
H: and drink?
H: Because everything is spicy
H: I think I'm gonna go for the CU Coconut Milk
H: Thick and sweet
(HeyRoo Coconut Milk)
H: You know what? We fancy!
H: We gon' get...
H: ...a PUD'N!
H: What kind of pudding should I get?
H: OU! What is this?!
H: Hmm...
H: I don't know-
H: I don't know what to do
H: Is there a honey one?
H: This is cheaper
H: This is cheaper than the other one... huehue
H: And so even though I'm fancy,
H: I'm not rich!
H: So, uh
H: I can't pay the extra--
H: I can't pay the extra 300 won... heh
H: For--
H: So let's get the cheaper one
H: So I've got dessert--
H: I've got dessert
H: I've got a drink
H: Ah! I need--
H: I need an appetizer
H: Ah! I know!
H: I know, I know...
H: Classic Korean...
H: ...streetfood!
H: Right here
H: This odeng
(Odeng a.k.a Korean Fish Cake)
H: First of all, you gotta ladle some soup
H: So it's kinda western too, right?
H: You know western appetizers, you just kinda start with a soup
H: I'm asian, I don't--...
H: ...I don't really do appetizers
H: So this is my-...
H: ...my improv. to appetizers
H: HEH
H: How much is this gonna be?
H: Hoh..hohohohohoh ($13 USD Total)
H: We fancy!
H: Heh
H: We fancy...! ;;
H: We just spent FIF--
H: FIFTEEN DOLLARS at a convenience store
H: Convenience store not cheap!
H: So I'm gonna prepare all this stuff first,
H: 'cause obviously you gotta cook, right?
H: But while it's cooking...
H: ...I'm gonna eat my appetizer
H: I guess it's--
H: It's like the perfect--...
H: ...the perfect way to go about things, right?
H: (SIGH)
H: All of you at home know...
H: ...that I don't like cooking my ramyun...
H: ... with just hot water, but...
H: ... this is a convenience store...
H: ...y'know...
H: ...fancy feast...
H: ...So we gotta do it the convenience store way
H: First step:
H: You gotta get your soup on
H: All that goes in
H: Because the water isn't hot enough...
H: ...I think...
H: ...I'm gonna have to put the cheese in now
H: Because we fancy, we putting it all in
H: The cheese, when you put it in first...
H: ... that's gonna melt into the soup
H: THIS!...
H: ...We're gonna put in after...
H: ...because this will melt and become stringy
H: Eggs
H: We're gonna wanna heat these eggs back up
H: Lemme, lemme-
H: Lemme test this uh...
H: ...this method of de-shelling...
H: ...eggs
H: Nope!
H: Didn't work
(B in the background: "Maybe you just suck at blowing")
H: Maybe...
H: Maybe I blow at sucking
H: ...and I suck at blowing
H: We gon' use both!
H: We gon' use both 'cause we fancy!
H: This one, we're not gonna split in two...
H: ...we're just gonna pop it in
H: Such a stupid idea!
H: We're only gonna use 1 sausage
H: I only bought 3 'cause...
H: ...it was 2+1, so why not?
H: But this time we're only gonna use 1 sausage
H: We gotta put it in the microwave
H: Open up a little bit...
H: ...so the steam can come out
H: Okay,
H: We'll pop it in there
H: For...
H: ...30 seconds
H: So while that happens
H: Every good chef knows:
H: It's best to clean while things are happening...
H: ...So you're not wasting time
H: I'm gonna cook the rice,
H: because I want the warm rice ready...
H: ...for when I'm ready!
H: A minute and 30 seconds
H: There you go
H: Hot water...
H: HOPEFULLY this works...
H: This is going to be DISGUSTING if it doesn't work!
H: While we wait to cook..
H: What better time than now to eat our appetizer
H: The stuff (odeng)...
H: ...on the streets...
H: ...like street-food carts...
H: ...are a bit better...
H: ...but I'm not mad!
H: That's pretty good!
H: Ooh!
H: OOH!!
H: It's really hot!
H: OOH!
H: Ooooh!
H: Should I make it a chicken rice?
H: It should be good now
H: So...
H: I'm gonna unpack this sausage...hehehe
H: Gonna take this sausage out of it's sheet
H: Look at that!
H: K, well let's add the rest of the cheese
H: OH!
H: Oh!
H: Let's try it
H: This is gross! heh
H: This is disgusting!
H: I think I put too much water in it
H: This is not good at all!
H: Where did all the cheese go?!
H: The problem is...
H: ...this is not the kind of disintegration kind of cheese, so it didn't mix with the water
H: Mm!
H: The egg's great!
H: The sausage is great!
H: The ramyun is not so good
H: So the cheese basically just...
H: ...melted and clumped-up at the bottom
H: Bad idea!
H: Get the sliced cheese!
H: 'Cause the sliced cheese will actually melt into the soup
H: So because the wate-- the soup is so bad, I'm not gonna do my original plan...
H: ...where I put the rice in the soup...
H: ...'cause that would ruin the rice
H: So now,
H: I'm just having...
H: ...an egg rice!
H: ...with fried chicken
H: Mmm!
H: Mmm
H: Oh my god
H: This is wonderful!
H: Wow! This is way better than I expected it would be!
H: ...this piece of fried chicken!
(moans)
(B in the background: "no bones?")
H: No bones!
H: Ohp!
H: There is a bone
H: Totally worth it!
H: Mmm..!
H: I'm thirsty
H: I gotta drink some of my coconut milk
H: Oh man...
H: Oh man!
H: That's the stuff!
H: Lemme just finish this, and then we'll go to dessert
H: Ookay!
H: So we're done with that!
H: ... and no meal is complete without dessert!
H: So we have some...
H: ... "Sweet Pudding Milky Bear"
H: I don't know how I'm supposed to eat this
H: I think I'm supposed to like...
H: ...take it from the bottom 'cause there's syrup
H: Or maybe I was supposed to like flip this over on to like, a plate
H: This is why you don't skimp!
(B laughing in the background)
H: In order to save 300 won I got the lesser one
H: NEVER!
H: The other one I've had before...
H: ...and it's DELICIOUS! It's so smooth and...
H: This is just...
H: This is just disappointing
H: For 300 won? I might've well just've gotten the better one
H: I'm such an idiot!
H: Oh no!
H: This is just not good!
H: There you have it!
H: Haeppy's convenience store dining!
H: Worth...
H: ...14,850 won ($13 USD)
H: Tasted like 5,000 won ($4 USD)
H: Really I would've been satisfied with the fried chicken alone
H: ...and rice
H: ...and the sausages
H: ...and the eggs!
H: Not the dessert!
H: ...and no ramyun
H: ...and no cheese
H: I mean the appetizer was pretty good too but I could've done without it
H: Wow...
B: It's my turn now
B: But, first off...
B: Because I want to prepare things properly I'm going to need to buy some plates
B: Unfortunately they don't have round plates...
B: ...So we're going to have to go with these dosirak (lunchbox) boxes
B: Basically disposable lunch boxes is what we've got
B: For start, I think I'm gonna go for like a kinda mixed rice...
B: ...thing
B: Donkatsu...
B: I'm gonna go with this one
(Gochujang Samgak Kimbap)
B: Some lil' mini eggs (quail eggs)
B: Aw 1+2 on the smoked cheese!
B: Can't go wrong with that!
B: Ooh maybe I should get one of each flavor
B: They used to have pizza flavor...
B: NAH, they don't have it anymore
B: I'll just go for smoked
B: That's a good first course
B: Main meal, what do we want for my main meal?
B: This is pretty good!
(Nongshim Jjapaghetti)
B: I don't like really drinking soups that much
B: You take the water out of this one...
B: So we're gonna go with this
B: But this alone...
B: ... waaay too boring!
B: Way too boring!
B: So we're gonna need some meat
B: And what better place to get meat...
B: than the hot meat stand, right here
B: Now there was bones in Haeppy's chicken,
B: we don't want that, we don't like that
B: I HATE bones!
B: And we do know...
B: ..from Haeppy's turn...
B: ... that less is more!
B: So we don't wanna over-do the food portions here
B: Grab one of these bad boys!
B: Is that enough?
B: No...
B: Let's throw in some more cheese
B: Aaand...
B: I know what I'm gonna drink...
B: A beer!
B: Because chicken and beer!
B: All the time! We want chicken and beer!
B: Let's go get- Let's go have a look at the alcohol!
B: My favourite section of any convenience store: the alcohol section
B: Duhduhduh dundundunnnnn....!
B: I'm gonna grab a "Kloud", because it is...
B: "Original Gravity Rich & Smooth"
B: So for reference this is the harder stuff for the alcohol
B: So we got soju, this is like 20% (alcohol) soju
B: We got the normal like 17% (alcohol)
B: And these are the flavored ones
B: Which are kinda like 13% ~ 14%
B: This stuff... hoo!
B: More sweet alcohols at the top, or kinda weaker ones...
B: ...traditionally for girls
B: Not saying anything, but traditionally these are like for girls
B: I'm not saying-- I'm just sayin', ladies
B: Dessert!
B: Time to look at the desserts, the real-- the REAL desserts
B: Not pudding s**t
B: No, we're going for real desserts up in here
B: Got a lot of ice cream...
B: Chocolate brownie!
B: This is the ice-cream of kings!... Right here
B: But we're not just gonna eat an ice-cream
B: Oh no
B: Oh no!
B: We need to top that ice-cream off with something else
B: Nom sayin', nom sayin'?
B: Oreos, motherfu-- hehehehehaha
B: (gasp) Oh no! hehehe
(16,550 won / $14 USD)
B: These little lunch boxes are gonna be perfect...
B: ...little plates
B: So for the start it's gonna be...
B: A mixed samgak kimb--... KIMBAB...
B: ...smoked cheese
B: and eggs!
B: Look how cute these lil' eggs are!
B: But you're thinking: how am I gonna mix that in here?...
B: Well, I'm gonna be clever...
B: Right here guys, is a free mixing bowl
B: And there's a trick to opening these, and it's actually very obvious...
B: ...If you know what you're looking for
B: There's numbers on this
B: "1"
B: "2"
B: "3"
B: Just tear it down, number "1"
B: Woo!
B: That splits this plastic case up
B: Now...
B: You can take number "2" off
(clicks tongue)
B: Fold the bits back in
B: And number "3"
B: Magical!
B: Fold that back down
B: And normally you just eat that, and you probably leave one of these on,
B: so you can just eat it without getting all this grease on your hands
B: We're not doing that today
B: In it goes!
B: This is working better than I thought!
B: Once we've mixed it all up, we're gonna put in our cheese
B: "Denmark in Pocket Cheese"
B: Beautiful!
B: We're just gonna break this up a little bit
B: 'Cause more surface area...
B: ... means more meltin' area!
B: you feel me? you get me, guys?
B: I already feel, this meal...
B: ... Is gonna be better than Haeppy's one
B: I can already tell!
B: I'm gonna love it, I'm gonna enjoy this!
B: Cheese
B: Cheese
B: Cheese
B: Cheese
B: Now,
B: that looks beautiful as it is
B: We're gonna give it one more stir in here
B: Beautiful!
B: Gonna microwave that
B: Get that cheese real deeply melted in here
B: Look at that!
B: Look at that, boys!
B: ...and girls
B: Look at that!
B: That looks beautiful!
B: But a little bit more
B: This is how you cook:
B: Experiment!
B: Aww yeeeaahh!
B: That,
B: People would kill for this food!
B: Stop it on an even number!
B: Everytime!
B: K
B: Aw, look at that!
B: That is perfect
B: Perfect
B: I don't want cold eggs so I'm gonna quickly cook them as well
B: Probably gonna need about 20 seconds, they're very, very small eggs
B: I can hear 'em popping
B: HOO!
B: WOOH!
B: That's HOT!
B: Hehehe that's hot! Hehehehehahahahe
B: This is the first one up...
B: But it's a bit hot so we're gonna leave that over on the side
B: We're gonna start preparing the 2nd meal
B: So first, you boil the noodles a bit
B: Then we're gonna drain the water out, and then we put this in and mix it up
B: There's a line...
B: ...Inside...
B: ...That's where you put the water to
B: Hm! Pretty good
B: And...
B: As Haeppy said...
B: To clear up this mess
B: 일반 쓰레기~ (Ilban Sseuregi/General Trash)
B: I'm winning on the looks already
B: Woooo!!
B: Woo!
B: Haven't seen stringiness like that since the mozzarella burger
B: Aw my god!
B: Even you'd love this!
B: Oh wow!
B: I'm good
B: I'm really good at this!
B: Aw muh GOD!
B: And even though this is so carb heavy, it doesn't feel heavy, right? It feels pretty good
B: While we waitin'...
B: Gonna heat the chicken back up
B: To pair it up
B: Always be careful when re-heating meat
B: You don't wanna undercook it
B: Underheat it, and you don't wanna heat it up too much
B: Otherwise it goes dry
B: Haeppy told me that!
B: ...'Cause he likes dry meat
B: ...No he doesn't
B: HE LIKES HIS MEAT WET!
B: If you are uneducated in the times of heatin'...
B: Most convenience stores have this lovely time chart
B: Samgak Kimbap
B: So that's recently what I had
B: Doshiraks (Korean Lunchbox) are really good they're like a meal in a pack
B: And it cost like...
B: 3~4 thousand (won)
B: They don't cost 17 thousand (won)
B: So, heh
B: What we learned... Is probably...
B: You don't need to spend this much money
B: Ahahehehe
B: I'm gonna use this top as a strainer
B: Is the water in here?
B: Okay
B: Don't get burned on the steam...
B: Dump it in
B: So we got a bowl
B: I'm gonna prepare it out again because this is meal 2
B: This is classy!
B: This is classy, fellas. Y'know
B: Aw, look at that!
B: You wanna get the ladies?
B: You wanna get the ladies?!
B: Next stage: Chicken
B: That's one...
B: Two...
B: Push-- push and twist
B: Aw yeah!
B: Look at this, beautiful!
B: Can you guess where I'm putting' this chicken?
B: Bam!
B: Bam!!
B: Hehe
B: With some cheese in this right now!
B: There's no fridges near by...
B: So I'm just gonna have to be...
B: A pig...
B: Heh
B: And eat all the cheese!
B: Let's just see how it goes, like this is a cheesy meal
B: Cheesy date
B: Ruler of the cheese
B: I'm lookin' forward to dessert
B: Last piece...
B: You're lookin' at that, and you're thinkin'...
B: Yeah, looks pretty good
B: What else can we do to improve that?
B: ...We put it back in the microwave!
B: I have no idea of time...
B: Because literally this is-- I've just made this up
B: This is not a--
B: I've never tested this recipe
B: Bye-bye baby!
B: People are gonna wanna date me right after this
B: They're gonna be like: "YAS!...
B: "Bapmokja knows what's up!!"...
B: ...With the-- with the convenience store food
B: But for real...
B: $17, I could've gotten...
B: A whole soonsal (boneless) chicken
B: ...With free coke
B: ...1.5L of coke
B: Or I could've got a pizza and pasta
B: ...With coke
B: But...
B: This is a 3-course meal!!
B: Remember that! ;)
B: Here we go
B: Hear that sound? That's...
B: ...WINNING!
B: That is gorgeous
B: Absolutely gorgeous!
B: As the main meal rests here...
B: Let's move away the 1st course
B: "Choco Brownie Ice-Cream"
B: What's really cool about Korean ice-cream is, it has these "stages"
B: This opens the main part, right?
B: Stage two
B: Baam!
B: Amazing!
B: Can you guess what's next?
B: Stage three
B: But that was all pointless 'cause we're not-- we're not gonna do it anyway
B: We're puttin' it in here
B: We're gonna break this up
B: Now you're thinking: "Bapmokja..."
B: "C'mon"
B: "You cared about presentation so much before and now you've ruined it!"
B: I got more!
B: I got more plates right here!
B: We're gonna leave that on the side
B: ...'Cause it's time to eat the bad boy!
B: Okay
B: So this is just the chicken and cheese
B: Aw, you see that steam?!
B: To be honest...
B: I couldn't really get this wrong
B: Heheheh
B: You need to try--
B: This is-- this is insane!
B: This does feel a LOT heavier
B: This is hardcore!
B: Now...
B: Beers you can't drink inside
B: Y'know
B: You can drink nearly anywhere else in Korea, but you can't drink inside convenience stores
B: So if I wanted to drink this,
B: Which I do...
B: I'd have to go outside, and stay outside
B: But, there's seats outside
B: Y'know, most convenience stores have seats outside
B: But today, I'm not gonna drink this
B: I know what this tastes like
B: I know it'll be perfect
B: ...'Cause I'm good at this game
B: Mmm!!
B: Course...
B: ...#3
B: And we already prepared the ice-cream
B: Now we're gonna prepare Oreo ice-cream
B: By some divine miracle...
B: I think I got...
B: Double-chocolate Oreos instead of original ones
B: Basically we're gonna just break up all the oreos into little pieces
B: ...We're gonna microwave them
B: Hahahaha!!
B: O GUD LAWD...!
B: Lovely and melted!
B: And there we have it!
B: The Chocolate Brownie...
B: Chocolate Oreo...
B: Deluxe!...
B: Dessert
B: All we can do now...
B: ... Is try it!
B: What can I say?
B: I think I win this game
B: But the real winner is...
B: ... Is CU!
B: 'Cause we spent about thirty dolla--HEHEHAHAHA
B: If you wanna know...
B: ...how to make these recipes...
B: ...You just have to watch this video again
B: But, who do you think was better?
B: Mee??
B: Or Haeppy's one?
B: Haeppy wasn't even--
