◆ [한 끼에 얼마예요?] – The secret of a Chinese restaurant that breaks the prejudice that cheap is expensive(?)
The place we visited for today’s meal was Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do! The representative menu items here are Jjajangmyeon, Jjamppong, and Sweet and Sour Pork, which are the three most popular Chinese dishes. Surprisingly, Jjajangmyeon is 3,000 won, Jjamppong is 5,000 won, and Sweet and Sour Pork (small) is 4,000 won. All three are cheap at 12,000 won! You can also enjoy cream shrimp (small), loved by people of all ages, for 8,000 won. Don’t misunderstand that just because the price is cheap, the quantity will be less or the taste will be poor! Jjajangmyeon is made with noodles kneaded every morning and added with plenty of pork to make it more filling. Jjambbong boasts a clean and refreshing taste as it is made with plenty of freshwater shrimp and seafood for a special taste. What is the secret to achieving generous portions and taste at an affordable price? This is because the owner runs a Chinese restaurant and a butcher shop. Because you bring your own meat, the price is half the price, but you can use good quality meat! In addition, they only use vegetables such as onions and cabbage that are carefully selected. The owner says that even though the restaurant’s profits are low, he feels alive thanks to the customers who visit him. A Chinese meal with a warm, friendly feel Let’s meet at.
◆ [지구촌 브이로그] – Daily life of a newlywed couple living in Saipan, a paradise in the South Pacific
Saipan is located in the Northern Mariana Islands in the South Pacific. It is close to Korea and has been known as a resort for a long time. Today’s protagonists are Chae-hyun and his wife, who traveled here in 2021 and met Scott, their destined partner, and got married and are currently living a newlywed life in Saipan! The first place the couple will introduce is a beach known only to locals called Dragon Tail because it resembles a dragon’s tail! Unlike the west side of Saipan, which boasts sandy beaches and calm seas, the east side is famous for rock walls and rough seas. You can fully experience the nature of Saipan by passing through dizzying rock walls and forests and seeing the Dragon Tail unfolding before your eyes. The couple lives on the top floor of a 7-story apartment building, a high-rise building in Saipan, where there are very few apartments. The area is about 85㎡ (approximately 32 pyeong), with 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms. The monthly rent is about 1.2 million won, and the ocean view from the terrace is as good as that of a luxury resort. Chae-hyeon said she fell in love with the charm of Saipan, which is relaxed and friendly to everyone thanks to the warm sunlight. We introduce the daily life of newlyweds in Saipan, where every day is a honeymoon.
◆ [좋지 아니한가(家)] – Timeless?! A couple living in a thatched house
Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, a village filled with old houses as if returning to the Joseon Dynasty. It is said that there is a special house among them, and that is the thatched house where Lee Seok-jin and Lee Cheong-nam live. It is said that this is where my husband Seok-jin’s father lived, and it has a long history and tradition, and you can feel the old atmosphere. However, contrary to its stylish appearance, it is said to be a house with many inconveniences in real life. Although it has to survive the cold winter with window paper, it is said that we protect the thatched house with pride, thinking that no one can protect this house except us. The couple, who quit their jobs when they returned home, is struggling to make a living. I run a small restaurant for myself. My wife, Cheongnam, makes lotus leaf rice with rice and various nuts wrapped neatly in lotus leaves, because she has a lotus field that she has been cultivating for the past 10 years. The lotus field, which I began to cultivate little by little because I like lotus flowers, has now reached over 2,000 pyeong (6,611 m2). We visit Seok-jin Lee and Cheong-nam Lee, a married couple who find happiness and live happily in the countryside, even though they are busy living in the countryside, managing a thatched-roof house, running a restaurant, and harvesting lotus leaves.

These days, when it gets chilly, hot soup and rice come to mind. Among the many soups, there is beef head soup that boasts a savory and deep taste.
