Cheat day

I felt embarrassed to ask, but I’m just grateful that Baek Woo-jin stepped up first.

Seeing as they suddenly suggested a collaboration, they might have some other intentions, but it shouldn’t be bad.

“Anyway, today we’re having a favorite food World Cup.”

There’s no better content for just lying down and moving your mouth.

Let’s go to the round of 32. The beginning is… budae jjigae vs. tantanmen. Wow, this is insane.

What is tantanmen?

Shut up and eat budae jjigae, right?

From the beginning

“Buddae jjigae actually feels like an old friend.” When I was in college, I really ate a lot.

You’re going to eat your friend…?

For side dishes, a meal for a friend.

I guess I should add a controversy tab to Namuwiki.

Are they really crazy?

I was too lazy to respond, so I just continued what I was saying.

“I have no money and I’m hungry.” If you want to eat a lot of delicious food for cheap, there’s nothing like budae jjigae.

I remember when I was in college.

“I graduated from Soongsil University, you know?” Around the time I was about to go to the military, a budae jjigae restaurant opened on the second floor of the old building in front of the main gate. I used to go there often. When it first opened, was it 5,000 won per serving? I think it was around 5,500 won. But I could refill ramen noodles, side dishes, and rice as much as I wanted. The boss was really generous, wasn’t he?

That boss probably didn’t like that guy.

Unlimited I can tell how much you ate without even looking.

Is it delicious?

What on earth are you talking about from years ago? If a serving of budae jjigae is 5,000 won,

When you’re in college, you really start looking for value for money.

Are you still there?

“It’s not an incredibly special taste.” But the cost performance is good. It should still be there now. Ah, there it is.

When I search for “Sungkyunkwan University Budae Jjigae,” it appears on the first page.

As time passed, the prices increased significantly.

“That’s right.” Here, tteokgangjeong and tater tots are served as side dishes. If I go once, I end up going three or four more times. What do you mean by “data tatz”? You know, the thing where you finely grate the potatoes, shape them into little rounds, and then fry them. If you order the mixed fries, it’s the best.

Looking through the store photos, I feel an unexpected nostalgia.

“I feel a bit strange.” I was in 3rd grade when I attended here, you know? All my peers went to the military, so I had no one to hang out with. But here, they served a single portion again. Around 2 o’clock, I go slightly off the lunch hour and eat alone…

Why did you stop talking?

I also ate alone after returning to school.

“Just because it’s in the past doesn’t mean all the memories are good.” Until just a moment ago, I was feeling good thinking about my college days, but I have so many memories of eating alone. No, I think I ate almost all of it by myself.

As soon as I blink, the viewers start teasing me again.

“Okay.” I didn’t have any friends. 왜. Anyway, budae jjigae has a lot of memories for me. On the other hand, tantanmen isn’t something I eat often, but I do have a memory associated with it. You all know the drama “The Lonely Gourmet,” right?

Mr. Goro?

Hara got confused.

Don’t know.

What is that, you idiot?

I thought many people would know it because it’s a famous drama, but there are quite a few who don’t.

In episode 3 of that drama, the main character eats tantanmen. Tan-tan noodles without broth. I really want to eat that like crazy. But no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find a place that serves tan-tan noodles without broth.

I wanted to eat shirunashi tantanmen, the kind you mix together, so I searched the internet for a while, but I couldn’t find it.

Is it still not available? Was it a few years ago?

I really wanted to eat it too.

There’s a good place near Myongji University.

It’s gone there.

There are many places with real broth in their tantanmen, but places without broth are rare.

If you ask me to do it without broth, I can do it.

It’ll probably be different at each store, right?

So you couldn’t eat?

“As a result, I ate.” The soup version of tantanmen was delicious too, but I really want to mix it up. So I ordered cup ramen directly. I found out that there are cup ramen versions of tan-tan noodles without broth.

Thinking about it now, it’s so absurd that I can’t help but laugh.

It was too expensive. Including the shipping fee, 24,000 won? They must have done that much. One cup ramen.

At that time, I was living by working part-time unloading and loading packages.

Even that was difficult because I had a back injury and could only go to work sporadically, so after paying the goshiwon rent, there was hardly any money left.

Thanks to that, I mostly solved my meals with the ramen provided by the goshiwon.

In the meantime, I spent 24,000 won just to try the soupless tantanmen, so thinking about it now, I wasn’t in my right mind.

But.

That cup ramen was the only thing that comforted and sustained me during a time when I had no hope.

“I waited a long time and finally got it.” As expected of a cup ramen that costs 24,000 won including shipping, it was something different. The cup is octagonal in shape, and the place for draining water is also well done with foil. They made the cup deep, so it was easy to mix and eat. Anyway, after cooking the noodles, I drained the water, squeezed out the liquid soup, and mixed it. Do you know the smell of sansho? Every time I rub it, the unique scent of sancho comes up, and my mouth starts watering. I eat ramen that costs 24,000 won. Finally, I get to eat the soupless tantanmen that Uncle Goro had. Thinking that way, I took just one bite.

As I hesitated for a moment while looking at the chat window, everyone got annoyed and urged me to speak quickly.

“It’s delicious.” It’s delicious, but was it really worth paying 24,000 won for? If you think about it that way, it wasn’t.

Right? Even if instant ramen is delicious, it’s still just instant ramen

Even the places introduced in “Solitary Gourmet” are said to be tasty, but not worth traveling all the way to Japan for.

All the popular restaurants are like that.

It must be a place worth visiting for the people living there.

Didn’t you say you had a hard life back then? It must have been a waste of money.

“I didn’t feel like the money was wasted.” I’m exhausted to death, but eating that made me feel a bit better. I feel like I can buy something special for myself too.

I moved the cursor back and forth with the wireless mouse I brought to the floor.

“Even budae jjigae and tantanmen don’t really bring back great memories.” But since budae jjigae has better value for money, I’ll go with budae jjigae.

After choosing budae jjigae, this time gopchang and kimchi jjim came out.

“Wow.”

I like both dishes so much that I can’t easily choose one.

Checking the chat window, it seems the viewers have divided opinions as well.

I really like gopchang. It’s good grilled, good stir-fried, good in a hot pot, and all of it is delicious, but it’s too expensive.

Beef small intestines are honestly more expensive than most other parts.

It is really delicious, but it’s too expensive.

It used to be really cheap, but now that it’s popular, they don’t know their place and it’s gotten expensive.

It’s probably because it spoiled quickly, right?

They say it’s hard to distribute it fresh. I heard that in the past, people only ate it at slaughterhouses.

A shot of soju with gopchang is all you need.

“You must eat a lot of grilled food.” I like to eat it stir-fried. Wangsimni is also famous, but I often ate in Guri. There’s a whole street dedicated to stir-fried intestines there, and when I used to go, it was really cheap and delicious. I also stir-fried and ate rice. This also holds deep memories. The choice is kimchi jjim.”

What? Why did we suddenly switch topics after just talking about gopchang? LOL

This?

“Beef tripe is good, but it’s not as good as kimchi jjim.” Tear the well-fermented kimchi into strips and wrap it around the meat. If you take a big spoonful of that and eat it with white rice, it’s game over. The texture of tender pork and well-fermented kimchi coming together. How about rice that has soaked up the kimchi broth full of meaty aroma?

Gopchang is indeed delicious, but it’s mainly food you eat outside, while kimchi jjim is a dish my mother used to make.

It’s been a long time since I became independent, but I often think that nothing beats the home-cooked meals my mother used to make.

Prajnaparamita Sutra: You liked spicy things, huh?

Whoa, it’s a monk.

It’s a joke.

Mister, why aren’t you broadcasting and just sitting here?

“I can’t eat spicy food, but lately I’ve been craving that.” I guess it’s because I’ve only been eating bland food.

Prajnaparamita Sutra: Then come visit this week. Let’s eat budae jjigae.

I like collabs

Mr. Ju Ji-seung, if you are being threatened, please show a carrot in the next video.

Earlier, Woojin contacted me, and now it’s Jujiseung

What’s the identity of Mr. Dang?

“Really?” I don’t know what rejection is.

I’m glad to see you, but more than that, I’m really curious about the budae jjigae that Joo Ji-seung made.

Since I’ve been sticking to a healthy diet, I’ve been constantly craving salty and spicy stews, but if it’s Jujiseung’s budae jjigae, which makes even the vegetables taste good, there’s no reason to refuse.

Bodhisattva: Hahaha, so when are you coming?

“Friday?” “Whenever you’re free, hyung.”

Joo Ji-seung suggested Friday and asked which budae jjigae would be good.

Ham a lot. A lot of ham. Spam.”

└Hahaha, I can’t resist spam.

I like salami.

There are so many types of ham that go into budae jjigae.

Eugenius: Oh, I want to eat too.

Prajnaparamita Sutra: Yeah, haha, Woojin should come too.

Are you really going to Baek Woo-jin’s place?

Eugenius: But can’t we go on Saturday? I have work on Friday.

I thought Baek Woo-jin had left, but he sent a message. It seems like you really don’t want to work.

“Saturday is Christmas Eve.” Jiseung hyung, you should rest.”

If you keep the priest on Christmas Eve, the sister-in-law will scold you.

Bodhidharma: No, my wife decided to go to her parents’ house. If Chanyong is okay with it, let’s meet on Saturday.

Eugenius: Hyung Chanyong wouldn’t have work on Christmas Eve.

hahahahahahaha

Ah, I need to binge-watch Harry Potter, lol.

Baek Woo-jin’s words are so funny, lol.

I want to refute it, but it’s true.

“Why do you keep spouting nonsense on someone else’s broadcast?” You said you were busy! “Hurry up and go to work!”

Genius: Yeah, see you on Saturday.

Wait, seriously, Baek Woo-jin, are you doing a collaboration with Joo Ji-seung?

What exactly are the Heart Sutra and Genius missing?

Seriously, Who the heck are you?

At this point, isn’t it like they’re blackmailing us with some kind of weakness? Hahaha

Stop it, lol. What’s wrong with Chan-yong being an old man?

Yeah, I’ve been working hard on my broadcasts lately, isn’t it a bit too much to be hitting me like this?

We usually hang out like this here.

Genius: Actually, Chan Yong said he wouldn’t edit the video if we didn’t collaborate…

LOL

“Don’t come on Saturday.”

Baek Woo-jin made a phone call.

“Why again?”

-You’re going to come out like that?

“어. I’m going to enjoy the budae jjigae without you.

-Am I not even as good as budae jjigae?

“Yeah.”

-My budae jjigae fell into the water. Who are you saving?

“Of course, it’s you.”

Budae jjigae becomes inedible the moment it falls into water.

-Of course, it should be. How much do you think about me? Even so.

I hung up the phone.

“There are people who keep interrupting the broadcast, so I’m going to block them.”

hahahahahaha

Eugenius: Ah! You hung up again!

Why are these guys so cute?
