(2 hours by car to Chengdu)
- Are we now in Kuan Zhai Xiang Zi? / - Yes, we are.
There are a lot of great restaurants here.
As you know, today is our last day.
We're going to a very special place
for our last dinner.
(Sights, Food)
(Food)
(Hot pot)
(There's a typical Sichuan dish)
(It's loved by young and old, male and female)
(It's one of the spiciest dishes, hot pot)
I love Chinese hot pot.
Fresh lamb is delicious.
Lamb is amazing.
- It was incredible. / - Fish is also delicious.
Fish fillet in hot pot is the best.
(Raeyeon orders a lot of food)
How would you like your broth?
There are different levels of spiciness.
Would you like it mild, medium or extreme?
- Medium? / - Medium.
Medium or a little bit spicy?
Medium? Do you think medium will be alright?
(They order medium spicy broth)
Medium spicy.
(I hope it's not too spicy)
It looks like there's a performance down there.
There's a dancing dragon.
Shall we go have a look?
(They decided to watch a show before the meal)
This is so nice.
- Yujin seems truly happy. / - She's so excited.
She's so excited.
(You can watch traditional Chinese performances)
That's pouring tea.
(Here, you can have a meal and watch a show)
It seems like the Bian Lian is starting soon. Let's go.
Let's go down and watch it.
- We need to watch it nearby. / - What is Bian Lian?
The show where they quickly change face masks.
It's a mask changing show.
- Bian Lian is really interesting. / - It's fascinating.
It's really interesting.
It's fascinating.
(He changes masks in an instant)
Bian Lian originated from the Sichuan region.
(It's a mask of a cartoon character)
There are a lot of places where they have Bian Lian.
(It's so cute)
(It's the highlight of the show)
(He interacts with the audience)
He pretended to kiss my hand,
then his mask changed.
- In front of your eyes? / - Yes.
It's like magic.
(Startled)
Yujin easily gets scared.
I get scared very easily.
(It was a success)
(The highlight of Bian Lian)
(It's a fire show)
You can watch this show for free, right?
Yes, but you have to be there on time.
(It's time to treat their mouths now)
(Red soup and white soup, $11.40)
Let me make the sauce.
The sauce is the most important for hot pot.
We're in Sichuan,
which is a place known for spicy food.
- Peanut sauce... / - They don't have peanut sauce.
- No, they don't. / - I'm so sad.
I don't know what I should do now.
- But I will... / - I eat a lot of peanut sauce.
Don't worry.
I can make a great sauce.
This is sesame and corn oil.
Let me add the sesame and corn oil.
There must be a perfect recipe for it.
You can pour everything in if you want.
I prefer to add a lot of garlic in it.
- I love garlic and spring onions. / - You need cilantro.
I'll add a spoonful of oyster sauce.
People have different tastes.
- But most people like it this way. / - What is it?
- It's black vinegar made of rice. / - I like vinegar.
Vinegar in the sauce makes it easier
for Koreans to eat the dish.
- I should learn this recipe. / - This is a Taiwanese way.
(The hot pot is starting to boil)
I can smell it.
(White soup, red soup)
Let me start with the hard ingredients for the broth.
It's for the broth.
Let me put radish in.
Can I try the soup?
- Try the soup. / - Okay.
When we eat shabu-shabu in Korea,
we cook porridge with the soup.
But Chinese hot pot is made of oil.
So you can't drink this soup.
It's only to blanch the ingredients.
It coats the ingredients and adds a spicy flavor to it.
After some time, the oil is all gone.
- Try it. You'll be surprised. / - Okay, I'll try like this.
(Yujin tastes the soup with her chopstick)
How is it?
Oh, my.
Is this the medium level of spiciness?
This is medium.
This is only medium spiciness.
Why don't you try it?
- I'm okay. / - Really?
What?
It really was okay with me.
Didn't you suppress it?
Strangely, I can't eat Cheongyang chili...
- Or spicy rice cake. / - It's so strange.
But this was okay for me.
The spiciness is different.
It's completely different.
- I'm scared. / - Isn't that right?
You must be strong when it comes to hot pot.
I came to Sichuan to eat this.
(Worried)
Cheers. Our last drink.
(It's time for them to eat properly)
Let's enjoy the food.
Pick an ingredient you want.
And sway it in the soup.
- What is that? / - It's lamb meat.
- Lamb meat? / - It looks so delicious.
- I'm really hungry. / - Yes.
I'm going to eat this in a wrap.
In case I get surprised by the mala sauce,
I'm going to try the ones in white soup first.
Me too. I will also try the white soup first.
- Dip it in the sauce. / - Wrap it.
I make a thick sauce.
- I don't dip it, I wrap it. / - That looks so good.
I wonder what the sauce is like.
It's good.
(The white soup is also okay for Yujin)
Is that all oil?
No, white soup is just meat broth.
It's meat broth, so you can eat it easily.
It's really delicious.
It's time to try the mala hot pot for me.
- Raeyeon. / - It's dripping.
- It's dripping. / - Look at the oil.
It's coated with oil.
- It got coated on the way up. / - That's right.
She'll eat it after she dips it in the sauce.
(She also takes a big mouthful this time)
(I bet that's really spicy)
That looks so good.
It's art.
With beer.
It's okay. It's really okay.
- Really? I want to try it too. / - Yes.
I'll try now.
I'll try the meat first. The meat is here.
(Yujin tries the red soup)
- It's hitting her. / - She can taste it.
Did something happen to you?
It's no joke.
You seem really okay
when it was so spicy for me.
Can you think of it as a spicy shabu-shabu?
- The spiciness is different. / - Yes.
- Aroma is important in this dish. / - That's right.
It's not spicier than Cheongyang chili.
It's not that kind of spiciness. It builds up gradually.
I continue to eat more because I get greedy
thinking that it won't get any spicier.
It's delicious.
- It makes you angry? / - It makes me really angry.
Why do I have to eat this?
- Honestly, I'm going to eat more. / - Eat some more.
I'm going to eat more.
- These are bamboo shoots... / - Yes.
- Bamboo shoots. / - With shrimp inside.
They put shrimp wontons in bamboo shoots.
- Inside there? / - The texture is amazing.
- That looks so good. / - It was so interesting.
(How does the bamboo shoots with shrimp taste?)
Let's try it.
- Isn't it good and interesting? / - It's good.
(She is in awe as soon as she eats it)
I've never tasted something like this.
(She's mad again)
The inside is so tender
but the bamboo shoot doesn't taste like
the ones we usually have.
It feels like we're eating salmon roe. It's popping.
No one will never know that it's bamboo shoot
if you don't tell them.
It's crisp when you bite into it.
You can tell it's bamboo shoot as you eat it.
You really have to order this.
- Why? / - A lot of people miss this.
You really have to order this.
- Okay. / - It's a unique taste.
I'm going to try this next.
I'm going to make this in a wrap.
I've dipped it.
(She's impressed)
I think I can manage the spiciness now.
I'm completely fine right now.
Can we try a spicier level then?
Can we try a spicier one?
(It's hard to hide her shaking eyes and hands)
I think I can try it.
How can she...
(It makes you doubt your very eyes)
How will she...
- That's just the next level. / - You have to look inside.
(Unbelievable)
Really good!
No way.
Yujin.
This isn't a joke.
You should eat it like that since you're in Sichuan.
It's different to putting Cheongyang chilies in.
I'm starting to sweat from my head already.
- That's amazing. / - Look at Yujin's face.
- Nice reaction. / - It's free to order...
The next level of spiciness.
(Forced smile)
She can't stop laughing.
(What am I going to do?)
What level is that?
- It's the last level. / - It's level three.
It's the spiciest level.
Raeyeon is amazing.
It will taste the best if you put noodles in there.
(She's caught)
That means it's spicy for her.
It's spicy!
That means it's spicy for her.
- Wipe your mouth. / - Wait.
I'm fine. I'll explain.
(She starts to show off when it comes to hot pot)
It choked me when I breathed but it's not spicy.
Touch my throat, it's not hot at all.
- I'm totally fine. / - It's really hot.
She's showing off. She's a show-off.
No, it's not spicy at all.
(Yujin just tries it)
She tries it.
This isn't a punishment.
Tell me.
This is really funny.
My ears are hot.
It's because you picked your ears.
Level 3 isn't that bad.
(It's time to evaluate the level 3 spiciness)
- 1, 2, 3. / - 1, 2, 3.
- Really good. / - Really good.
Undoubtedly, it's really good and unique.
- I really enjoyed it. / - Yes.
It's really, really, really good!
They ate all of it.
- There's nothing left. / - We ate all of it.
- We ate all of it. / - We ate all of it.
We still have some time left until our flight.
- We still have time. / - That's right.
We can't give up this time.
- Let's go to the Anshun Bridge. / - Okay.
It's like the Venice of Sichuan.
There is a river, pretty coffee shops and bars.
We'll spend some time there
to make us feel better and go to the airport.
- Okay? / - Okay.
We took a late flight.
It was early in the morning the next day.
(Sights, Food)
(Sights)
(Anshun Bridge)
- The night view is amazing. / - It's so beautiful.
This place was really nice.
It's too sad to just go to the airport like this,
and we still have time.
We came for the night view.
The night view is amazing. This is Anshun Bridge.
- It's so pretty. / - Isn't it so pretty?
"Pretty" isn't enough to explain this view.
(Anshun Bridge feels like it's representing China)
It's really beautiful.
It feels like it's representing China.
- Isn't it amazing? / - Yes, it's so nice.
There's nothing that's a waste of time...
- In Chengdu. / - That's so right.
(It's time to end the Zhendehao Tour)
- It was really nice, right? / - Yes.
It was really special for me.
This trip was the first trip I went on with a friend
after I got married and had babies.
- It felt like a dream. / - Yes.
I was just really happy.
I really enjoyed it especially because I was with you.
Do we have to cry now?
Are you trying to make me cry?
I liked Kuan Zhai Xiang Zi where we went first.
- Yes, the alleys. / - We went shopping there.
Watching the street vendors and watching the people.
It was a short schedule but there was a lot to do.
- That's right. / - Yes.
- Everything went well. / - That's right.
- The mapo tofu was intense. / - Yes.
It was good.
It was the food that made me realize
that I was really in Sichuan.
Hot pot is also a traditional food in Sichuan.
Right.
I was really happy because you reserved
such a nice restaurant.
It was fun.
It was such a special time.
The person who ordered to add more spiciness
was you, not me.
It was amazing.
I didn't know they would add so much.
- It's still spicy. / - I was...
Don't even talk about it. It still hurts my stomach.
Let's go to the airport. Let's go.
I have to go back to my kids now.
Kids, wait for me.
