- Singapore! / - We're finally here.
Singapore!
A great guide.
This is the place.
(They exceeded our expectations)
This is the place we wanted to visit so much.
Chili crab!
No one can beat this.
This dish is unbeatable.
(Which team will win?)
(Numerous great tips on trips)
(Nam Changhee, Cho Saeho)
(Yoo Minsang, Moon Seyoon)
Travel is war!
Battle Trip!
Continuing from last week's episode,
these four guests went on food bucket list trips.
- It's nice to see you again. / - Hello.
We have 100 judges joining us from last week
to make a fair evaluation.
- Thank you. / - We hope you like our trip.
It's nice to see you again.
The trips will be divided into the 1st and 2nd half.
You'll vote once after the 1st half,
then again after the 2nd.
You'll vote two times.
The votes aren't added up.
The 1st half vote is just a teaser.
The votes in the second half
will determine the final winners.
We know the score of the first half from last week.
- We'll be honest with you. / - I bet the score was high.
It wasn't that high.
But we got a lot of votes though.
It was just slightly high.
- Really? / - This is why I was confident.
There are specific dishes...
- That increase the ratings. / - That's right.
If you eat instant noodles, the ratings go up.
That's true.
Korean viewers love noodles and crustaceans.
The judges voted after the clip about chili crabs.
- That's true. / - I knew a lot of them would vote.
- Hold on. / - They did a good job hiding it.
If what he says is true, did you eat noodles?
Noodles?
They're in the clip.
- The noodles will be in the clip. / - The noodles...
- Given that it's in Osaka... / - Crustaceans?
- Crustaceans? / - Crustaceans?
- They're in the clip. / - They're in the clip.
- Really? / - Yes.
I bet they ate shrimp.
Osaka and Kobe are both very famous cities...
- For its food. / - That's true.
Osaka is the most popular travel destination for us.
Sikyung is also an expert on Japan.
- I'm not an expert. / - The convenience store food.
My friends eat the egg sandwich when they go.
- That sandwich! / - I heard this from the locals.
I was told the sales of the egg sandwich went up.
That's all thanks to you, Sikyung.
- They love the sandwiches too. / - It's tasty.
I'm still positive that we will win
because Saeho lived in Japan when he was younger.
So he's fluent in Japanese.
I stayed in Tokyo when I was young.
But we decided to go to Osaka and Kobe.
Since I've been to these places quite a few times,
I thought of recommending restaurants I liked.
- That's nice. / - That was my plan.
It's planned by an expert then.
But it is true that he went there very often.
When we were doing the same show,
he said he went to Japan and had a lot of fun.
He told me that he hung out with friends
living in Japan.
But he never took me to Japan. Not even once.
I was worried that he might be sharing
too many good restaurants we should
keep to ourselves.
- Don't worry about that. / - I really did.
Just make sure you win.
- Don't worry about that. / - Okay.
I have a question.
Is there a reason why you chose Osaka and Kobe?
Since this trip is about food...
Osaka is where many Japanese dishes originate.
- That's true. / - Osaka has a lot of good places.
For example, takoyaki, okonomiyaki
and instant ramen.
- They all originated from Osaka. / - I see.
So we chose Osaka as the city
for the food bucket list.
I mean Osaka is the best city.
- That's an easy one. / - Then you chose Kobe.
You cannot leave out Kobe.
Kobe is a harbor city with a lot of Western influences.
Kobe has dishes that represent Japanese cuisine
such as grilled dishes.
- And you know that beef from Kobe? / - Yes.
The ninth grade beef is just fantastic.
It sounded like you were spraying pesticide.
Kobe was the first city that accepted curry.
- It was the first? / - Kobe was the first.
- What were your criteria? / - Right.
- What were your standards? / - We had...
Three things of importance.
- Are you just making them up? / - No, no.
- This is the 1st criterion. / - The 1st criterion.
We went to places where there's no franchises in Korea.
- Only in Japan? / - Yes, only in Japan.
- There aren't many Japanese chains here. / - Second.
Since they're hidden gems only locals know,
we went to places that didn't have Korean menu.
- The menu wasn't in Korean. / - No, it wasn't.
- Many menus aren't in Korean. / - Next...
- 3rd criterion. / - The 3rd criterion.
The restaurant had to be open for...
- Over 10 years. / - Usually, Japanese places...
- Have been open for 30 years. / - That's true.
We wanted the restaurant to be traditional...
He's flustered.
10 years isn't long enough.
Being open for the last 10 years means
that customers have continued to visit the restaurant.
- The most important thing is... / - Yes?
- That Koreans don't know these places. / - Exactly.
- But the thing is... / - Minsang, Seyoon.
You've been to Japan, right?
I got the feeling that you were looking down on them.
Actually, Minsang...
Really?
He's been there twice but he brags as if
he's been there 200 times.
My major is...
- Did you major in Japanese? / - Tourism in Japan.
- Tourism in Japan? / - Then he'd know a lot.
- Minsang, you'd like this trip. / - This is fun.
Yes, but if they made mistakes or the trip isn't good...
- I will point those out. / - That's right.
Anyway, everyone.
Let's find out what they ate in Osaka and Kobe.
Let's watch the first half of their trip.
Let's clap.
We had the honor of appearing on Battle Trip again.
I'm comedian, Cho Saeho.
I'm Nam Changhee. It's nice to see you.
Last time, we starred in the episode
where we went to Beijing.
This is an unforgettable trip.
Hwijae joined us.
- It was Beijing. / - You didn't like any of the food.
- No, no. / - No, the food was good.
I've decided.
Eat up.
We were crushed.
To be honest, the thing was...
- It was because of Hwijae. / - Hwijae...
- We lost to Japan that time. / - Yes, we did.
That's why we are going to go to Japan this time.
- We're heading to Japan. / - We'll visit Japan.
But the opposing team was just too hard to beat.
- Sikyung was a hard opponent. / - Yes, indeed.
- We went to Japan last month. / - That's right.
- Osaka and Kobe. / - He goes to Japan so often.
When I have time and think of a destination to go...
- Since Japan is fairly close. / - It is close.
Any friends who went to Japan after you plan the trip?
There are tons.
One time, I went to Japan with Dongwook.
To be honest,
when I went to Japan with Saeho,
there wasn't a time I was disappointed in our trip.
I was never disappointed.
When I was young, I lived in Japan.
I've been on a lot of trips to Japan.
I will give Saeho the complete control over our trip.
I will just follow you...
As Nam Gyoik.
I will taste the food and evaluate.
- He resembles Hwang Gyoik. / - He looks alike.
- If he wears glasses... / - I'll do it.
Can't we just invite Hwang Gyoik?
Instead of having Nam Gyoik. Just have the original.
Then who do you want to be?
That is a strong one for me to beat.
Since you're introducing delicious foods...
- Michelin plus Cho. / - Chochelin?
- Chochelin. / - That's a great nickname.
- Chochelin? Okay. / - Chochelin and Nam Gyoik.
- This is neat. / - Okay.
We'll be Chochelin...
- And Nam Gyoik on our trip. / - Okay.
For Kobe, we'll visit restaurants that
I've been to before.
I'll introduce some great restaurants.
Since a lot of people have been to Osaka,
I'm thinking of visiting new places
that haven't been introduced yet.
(Kobe, a harbor city with Western influences)
That's the first harbor in Japan. Oh, that!
- What is that? / - It's the meat.
That's beef.
(1st day of Kobe Gourmet Tour)
The whipped cream in Kobe is great.
There are so many people.
It's a city that swarms with tourists.
I want to introduce something new.
Osaka is clustered with good restaurants.
Gosh, that looks amazing.
But Osaka is crowded with Koreans.
- That's true. / - There were so many Koreans.
(Incheon International Airport)
Hello.
Hello.
- It's Nam Gyoik. / - Who is that?
- What is going on? / - He looks like Hwang Gyoik.
- He does indeed. / - Goodness.
I have a guest with me
who will explain about the taste in easy terms.
- This is Nam Gyoik. / - His impersonation is spot on.
Actually, at the airport...
Someone asked if I was him.
- Really? / - They look just like each other.
At the airport, someone mistook Changhee for Gyoik.
That really happened.
With Nam Gyoik... By the way,
you prepared a lot though. You look similar.
Ramen is...
Coffee in Japan...
The unsaturated fat...
In the body.
You don't gain weight.
It's not sweet but it's sweet.
Looking forward to the food we'll be tasting.
We're opening up all the doors.
(Nam Gyoik, walking food encyclopedia)
I'm Chochelin.
First off, Changhee, this is your first time here.
Especially for today...
It's this alley!
(Real expert who can communicate with the chefs)
He can do this because he speaks Japanese.
(Chochelin, expert in Japanese food trip)
- He deserves it. / - He's been to Japan 20 times.
(A food trip with friends of 15 years)
With Chochelin...
Nam Gyoik trip.
ChoNam Trip.
You guys have the perfect teamwork.
- We make a great team. / - They're a team.
- That's right. / - I see.
Was there a time when things were bad between you?
Yes, there was. Around 3 months.
Was it when you got famous alone?
No, we were fine during that time.
We fought once over paying for drinks.
$30 went missing.
Our seats are...
Hey, these two are our seats.
The seats here are spacious.
I have more leg room here compared to other seats.
They were being considerate.
That's right. You can think that way.
(They're heading to Japan)
(Incheon International Airport)
(Kansai International Airport)
The sign is in Korean?
We have arrived.
We are heading to Sannomiya.
- Sannomiya? / - Sannomiya.
We are going to go Sannomiya in Kobe.
There are two ways of going there.
The first way is the cheapest way.
- But it takes time. / - I see.
The second way is taking the airport bus.
But we can get there quicker.
- We should get there quickly. / - Time is gold, isn't it?
- Time is gold. / - You're taking the airport bus.
If you take the airport bus,
you can get to Sannomiya at once.
- It doesn't stop? / - No, it doesn't.
- It's a direct bus. / - We can buy tickets here.
Okay.
- Sannomiya, Kobe. / - Right. Sannomiya.
(One-way ticket, $20)
If you buy a round-trip ticket, it's slightly cheaper.
- But we had to go to Osaka. / - To Osaka.
So we got one-way tickets.
If you buy a round-trip ticket, it costs about $30.
How long does it take?
Without traffic, it takes about 40 to 50 minutes.
- It's not that far. / - Let me explain a bit about Kobe.
It's a harbor city that accepted an open-door policy
and has embraced a lot of Western culture.
So when we go to Kobe, you'll see good bakeries.
And Western cuisines are quite advanced in Kobe.
(A city that pleases our eyes and ears)
(Beef ramen, dessert and coffee, Kobe beef)
We are going to come up with our criteria
in selecting restaurants.
A restaurant that doesn't have franchises in Korea.
A restaurant where they don't have Korean menu.
The third criterion is a restaurant with its own history.
A restaurant that's more than 10 years old.
Changhee, I bet this is your first time here.
- It is actually. / - It is, isn't it?
You haven't been to this restaurant before.
This is a hidden restaurant.
I'm about to introduce you this ramen restaurant.
- Ramen restaurant? / - The photo on the restaurant...
- I love ramen. / - The place looks a bit shabby.
- Are you ready? / - Of course I am.
Let's go.
(What is the first restaurant Saeho is recommending?)
When it was my first time in Kobe...
I came here to have ramen.
This restaurant actually shocked me.
Why?
This is why.
I can't see the bowl.
- The bowl is covered by meat. / - By meat?
We can't see anything like that in Korea.
It looks amazing.
- It's exactly like the photo. / - Really?
This is a signature dish of this restaurant.
Is this ramen with chashu?
This is a representative dish of the restaurant.
Wouldn't it be too greasy if you eat the whole thing?
No, no. The broth gets rid
of the greasiness of the meat.
(The noodles go in)
Everyone, that's going to taste very oily.
I mean it's tasty but I advise not finishing the broth.
You have a point,
but isn't this your first time seeing ramen like this?
Yes.
This is it.
Wow, it looks so good.
It's $11 but chashu is worth the money.
When we usually go to a ramen restaurant,
the price goes over $10 with extra chashu.
- Of course. / - But if it costs $10...
With this much meat.
I couldn't remember the name,
so I searched but there were no blog posts on it.
When we eat ramen, there isn't much meat.
- You eat noodles and have a bite of meat. / - Right.
Or eat all the meat first.
But with this, you can eat as much as you want.
(He gobbles up)
- You get meat with every bite. / - You're right.
- Really? / - With every bite.
- That's true. / - Normally, you only get it at the end.
- Right. / - Or at the start.
But you won't run out of meat with this ramen.
- But this ramen... / - If it was thick, it'd be heavy.
- No, it's thin. / - You can wrap the noodles with it.
(I'm going to enjoy this dish thoroughly)
Do you want to try the challenge since you're here?
They have a bowl of ramen called the ultra ramen.
- That looks spicy. / - Must be spicy.
Ultra ramen?
If you eat it within 15 minutes, they take a photo.
If you eat it within 10 minutes, you get free dumplings.
If you eat it within 5 minutes, the ramen is free.
- Do you want to try? / - Try what?
- Will you try the challenge? / - I can do this.
(Saeho orders the ultra ramen without hesitation)
(Already feeling nervous)
- Oh, no. / - There are many challenges...
- Like that in Japan. / - Seyoon should've gone there.
Can't everyone finish a bowl of ramen in 5 minutes?
- Here is it. / - Ultra ramen.
It's not about the portion but the spiciness.
(He must finish the soup to succeed the challenge)
- He has to finish the soup too? / - Everything.
It looks spicy.
Try it. It's not that spicy.
But it looks too spicy.
You can eat this.
It's spicy but tasty ramen that we usually eat.
- Is that so? / - Yes.
Hold on.
Let me take my time.
(He prepares himself for the challenge)
They count the minutes with a timer.
- He started. / - He must finish within 15 minutes?
- Yes. / - 15 minutes.
- 15 minutes? / - I already ate a bowl of special ramen.
It won't be too spicy.
He has to move his chopstick
to cool down the noodles.
Exactly.
- Isn't it hot? / - It's hot.
How is it?
Changhee, are you good at eating spicy food?
- No, I'm not good at it. / - Really?
- But... / - You could eat the ramen?
That wasn't spicy at all.
- It's not spicy, is it? / - Koreans eat spicy food well.
Aren't I right?
I told you.
It's spicy but tasty.
(What did you say?)
(This ultra ramen isn't that easy)
But...
- The more I eat, the spicier it is. / - Is it?
- It slowly gets to you. / - I don't think I can finish.
Really? But you should still try.
- Can't we just take the photo? / - No.
- Eat up. / - We can take our own.
- Those photos in the back? / - It's the wall of fame.
- Photos of those who succeeded. / - All of them?
- Should I say I'll eat the rest? / - Yes.
It'd be nice to get your photo up there.
So this is spicy?
- Are you allowed to switch? / - Are you allowed?
- It was over anyway. / - The spiciness hits you.
(Saeho eats the ramen confidently)
- Gosh, it's getting spicy. / - It gets spicy, doesn't it?
- I'm sweating all of a sudden. / - You're sweating.
I bet the top of your head was sweating.
- You're sweating. / - My stomach felt the spiciness.
Instead of my mouth.
- You already gave up. / - Yes.
The challenge was over already.
This is making you sweat.
- I keep wanting to eat it though. / - Spicy yet tasty.
- It's not just spicy. / - I get it.
- You failed the challenge. / - He can't eat more.
No, that's not true. I ate more.
I think I know what you're talking about.
Hey, to be honest...
- Here I go. / - We can't lose to Moon Seyoon.
- It doesn't look like you're eating it. / - I am.
- Why are you spitting it out? / - He spat it out.
- Watch it again? / - What are you doing?
- I was just full. / - 8, 7, 6...
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Gosh, I can't eat this anymore.
It gets spicier at the end.
Right. But it's still tasty though.
This is spicy. It's spicy to me!
- It is? Why are you sweating so much? / - Hey!
This ultra ramen is spicy.
- It's spicy? / - It's spicy.
- Why were you so angry? / - I'm sorry.
- Mop your brow. / - Oh, right. Film this.
Look at this.
You have to move back.
The camera doesn't like you.
That's not true. It's just out of focus.
Because it doesn't like you, it's out of focus.
Let's get Seyoon and Minsang there.
Minsang loves spicy food.
- If I go to Japan... / - Spicy boy.
