045. Restaurant-Hunting Mukbang
One minute after the Pyongyang naengmyeon arrived.
I polished off not just the noodles but the broth, clean and neat.
【Reformed Guburi】─Gye Bastard-hun, were you a competitive eater in a past life?
【Hottie Licker】─Eats so fucking fast lol
【Yoho】─It seems to suit your taste?
【Min-ji】─The vinegar... the mustard...
【Dick Lover】─You eat with such gusto.
【Qkrnfl892】─Thought you were a vacuum cleaner.
【Plum Tree】─That slurping sound, oh... Recording done.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Send it to me too.
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─You eat so roughly. I wish you'd eat me roughly too... (〃ω〃)
【Reformed Guburi】─Shut your mouth, you crazy bitch. Before I skewer it with this 3===D.
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─(⌒_⌒;)
I set the empty bowl down on the table with a thud.
Then I stared at the chat window without a word.
【Qkrnfl892】─That expression tells me you've been around the block. What's the verdict?
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Was it no good?
【Dick Lover】─You're not mad, are you?
【Drift AI】─I will speak. I am providing the results of the expression analysis. Anger 94%. Sadness 3%. Annoyance 2%. Excitement 1%.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! That's some solid analysis, nu?
【Drift AI】─Probability the analysis is accurate. 1%.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Crazy bastard, nu.
To cut to the chase, the taste wasn't bad.
Even though it was bland, it wasn't off-putting like the Pyongyang naengmyeon I'd had before.
‘At this level, even people who hate Pyongyang naengmyeon could eat it without any problem, right?’
I finally understood why this place had good ratings and reviews.
Anyway, if I were to give my taste assessment.
"It's pretty good, actually?"
I could say it was good.
Of course, it didn't suit my personal taste.
That was just an evaluation based on the standards of people who like Pyongyang naengmyeon.
【Reformed Guburi】─It's good?
【Dick Lover】─Guess the taste is different since it's expensive.
【Yoho】─Pyongyang naengmyeon is always delicious no matter where you go. hehe
【Hottie Licker】─But no matter how good it is, 54,000 won for a single bowl of naengmyeon is seriously just flashing your cash.
【Qkrnfl892】─For real. It's way too expensive for naengmyeon.
"Well, like you guys said, it is expensive... but it's not a price that's completely impossible to understand."
【Hottie Licker】─?
【Plum Tree】─Hm.
【Reformed Guburi】─It is a price that's impossible to understand, you fuck!
【Qkrnfl892】─Is it that delicious?
"It's the taste, and also, the interior is done up in a traditional hanok style."
【Yoho】─That's true. The atmosphere is really nice thanks to the hanok. I definitely plan on visiting later myself. hehe
【Hottie Licker】─What does the interior have to do with anything? Fuck.
【Qkrnfl892】─I can't fathom how rich people think...
"And after you finish the naengmyeon, you get mango bingsu for dessert."
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Yeah, in the reviews they say the mango bingsu is really good. Said it's better than a 100,000-won bingsu from some hotel.
【Reformed Guburi】─What. Then is the mango bingsu the main dish?
【Qkrnfl892】─Seems like it.
【Hottie Licker】─Even considering all that, it's still a price I can't possibly understand. What kind of naengmyeon costs 54,000 won?
【Se-hun Defense Force】─There are places that sell 3 servings of samgyeopsal for 100,000 won too.
【Hottie Licker】─Then the dipshits who go there are the problem.
【Reformed Guburi】─For real, brain-dead sex-crazed bitches.
"If you're unhappy with the price, just decide you're never coming to this restaurant and be done with it. It's not like it caused you any harm. The food prices are up to the owner's discretion, so I have no intention of chiming in."
I decided to avoid the price debate as much as possible.
It could cause harm to the restaurant, after all.
My stream had so few viewers that it probably could not cause any harm, but there was no telling what might happen.
"Let's stop talking about the price. Now, for the mango bingsu..."
The moment I tried to change the subject and call the staff over.
One annoying message kept drawing my eye and made me trail off.
【Min-ji】─That's not how you eat Pyongyang naengmyeon... You're supposed to add mustard and vinegar... T_T
Min-ji had been posting the same chat repeatedly since earlier.
I'd tried my best to ignore her, but she was a persistent bitch who didn't know when to quit.
Just as I was about to say something.
Yoho rebutted Min-ji's chat for me.
【Yoho】─Eating it bland without adding anything is also delicious.
【Min-ji】─That's the wrong way to eat it...
【Yoho】─It's not wrong, it's just different. There's no single correct answer to how one eats food. ^^
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! If you really had to add it, it would've been added from the start!
【Min-ji】─Ah, I phrased it a bit strangely. I was just trying to let you know that adding vinegar and mustard makes it tastier. Sorry...
【Yoho】─^^
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Lots of people hate vinegar and mustard.
【Qkrnfl892】─Yeah, everyone has different tastes, so don't try to force a way of eating on people.
【Reformed Guburi】─Hey guys, but isn't Yoho's taste actually wrong, not just different?
【Hottie Licker】─For real lol Eating mint-pineapple-skate bibimbap is definitely wrong.
【Yoho】─^^
【Reformed Guburi】─I'll rip your eyes apart.
【Min-ji】─But seriously, if you eat it with mustard and vinegar... it's delicious... heh
【Reformed Guburi】─Knock it off already, you fucking bitch. Before I stuff mustard in your armpits and pour vinegar in your cunt.
【Min-ji】─T_T
Since she was recommending it so earnestly like that, I found myself curious about the taste for no reason.
How different could it be, anyway.
"..."
After a brief moment of deliberation.
I reluctantly decided to grant Min-ji's request.
"Fine. I came all this way, so I might as well try eating it Min-ji's way."
【Min-ji】─hehe! Put the mustard in the broth, and for the vinegar, pick up some noodles and sprinkle it on lightly! That's how I eat it!
【Reformed Guburi】─?? Gye Bastard-hun, this bastard seems surprisingly lenient with Min-ji?
【Hottie Licker】─Now that you mention it, he always cuts Min-ji some slack.
【Dick Lover】─Playing favorites? -_-
"What are you gonna do if I play favorites?"
【Dick Lover】─I was just asking.
【Qkrnfl892】─lol Backing down instantly.
【Reformed Guburi】─Dick-bitch got hard and then went soft right away.
In the end, I ordered one more bowl of Pyongyang naengmyeon.
***
I tried the Pyongyang naengmyeon the way Min-ji had described.
Savoring the taste, it took me a whole 2 minutes to finish it.
【Min-ji】─How is it? hehe Isn't it good?
"Gyejipsa. Chat mute Min-ji."
【Gyejipsa】─Hahaha!
【Min-ji】─???
『Chat for 'Min-ji' has been restricted. Remaining time 00:05:00』
"It really is better when I eat it the way Min-ji said. For my taste, anyway."
【Hottie Licker】─?
【Reformed Guburi】─Huh? Then why did you mute her?
【Qkrnfl892】─He's not even a kitten, I can't understand his every single action...
"Now, time for the mango bingsu."
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Now he won't even explain why he mutes people? lololol
And so, after eating two bowls of Pyongyang naengmyeon, I called the staff over and asked for the mango bingsu.
I couldn't just leave without eating it when it was complimentary.
***
I polished off the mango bingsu neatly as well.
This time, it took about 3 minutes to eat.
【Reformed Guburi】─For fuck's sake! Eat a little slower!
【Hottie Licker】─Is someone holding a knife to your throat forcing you to eat fast?
For the record, the bingsu was about 200 times tastier than the Pyongyang naengmyeon.
It was so good I almost suspected it was the actual main menu.
"The bingsu is seriously good."
【Qkrnfl892】─lolol Just from his expression, you can tell he's satisfied.
【Yoho】─Your expression got so much brighter.
"Anyway, I'm done eating now, so let's get going."
【Reformed Guburi】─Huh? You're not doing a taste explanation or anything?
"I just did. I said it was good."
【Reformed Guburi】─That's it? Fuck, what kind of restaurant exploration is this!
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Guburi, what were you expecting? He just turned on the stream while eating out.
【Qkrnfl892】─For real lol
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya.
Having finished a satisfying meal.
I got up from my seat without any hesitation.
Once we had finished eating, we had no further business in the restaurant.
It was just as I left the room and was about to naturally walk out of the establishment.
"You're finished already?"
"Finished already?"
The owner and the staff member poked their faces out around the corner and asked.
I was so startled in that instant I nearly swung a fist.
They were not moles. Why were they suddenly popping out like that?
"...Yes. I ate very well, thank you."
"Haha. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!"
"So glad!"
The owner and the staff member beamed.
I didn't understand why that staff member kept repeating everything the owner said.
Was that his parrot concept?
What an eccentric person.
"Excuse me, but... if it's not too rude, may I ask which platform you stream on?"
The owner asked me cautiously.
I figured they had some business with me.
There was no reason not to tell them.
Since my stream address had supposedly spread across various communities anyway.
So I just readily told them the platform and the stream name.
【Reformed Guburi】─lol What's knowing it gonna do?
【Hottie Licker】─For real lol You can't even get in if you know.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. Gye Se-hun's gatekeepers are standing firm, nu!
After that, I exited the restaurant and headed to a nearby mountain.
I planned to do a hiking stream until it was time for dinner.
***
A post went up on a community forum.
[Author: Reverse-Rape Lover]
─Today's Gye Se-hun update.
[Picture]
He visited this super expensive Pyongyang naengmyeon place, and even though he normally doesn't like Pyongyang naengmyeon much, he praised it highly and said this place is good. He says the mango bingsu they give for dessert is good too.
Just so you know, I just got home from school so I'm only watching the stream now. I got caught using my phone at school last time and got yelled at big time. hehe
Anyway, I plan to watch the whole thing from the beginning as a VOD once the live broadcast is over.
My mom was watching the stream for me and recording it. lol
[Upvotes: 1037][Downvotes: 341]
└Thanks for always posting pictures.
└There's no one but you. T_T
└Since you keep posting like this, I feel like I'm watching the stream with you. lolol
└Show your face on the stream, you motherfucking bastard!!!
└Isn't this the bastard who proved his IQ was 71 last time?
└I want to watch the live stream too! Fuck!
└People actually go to that restaurant. o.O
└Ah. That's a place a lot of rich people go to.
└I know that place. It was famous for giving out Pyongyang naengmyeon for free if you ordered the mango bingsu.
└└Isn't it the other way around?
└Don't post pictures, post the VOD.
└└【Reverse-Rape Lover】Can't, it'd trace back to my house.
└Your mom is also old enough to know better and she watches a male cam streamer? Is she a low-IQ idiot like you?
└└【Reverse-Rape Lover】Don't talk shit about my mom.
└└Why is this bastard making a mom joke?
└└You crossed the line, you crazy bitch.
└└You fucking bastard, making a mom joke at our Reverse-Rape and acting out. If you stop posting pictures now, are you going to take responsibility?
Maybe it was because of that last comment.
Today.
No more broadcast captures from Reverse-Rape Lover were posted in the community.
***
The hike went on for over 4 hours.
Since I hiked leisurely while taking in the scenery, it took quite a long time.
【Reformed Guburi】─Hiking streams are boring. -_-
"I've come down all the way now. You fuck."
【Reformed Guburi】─?? Why suddenly cursing...
【Hottie Licker】─What are you flustered for? It's not like it's your first day getting cursed at.
【Reformed Guburi】─Fucking sex bastard.
After the descent.
I went to a nearby mart, bought 10 boxes of 1.5-liter cola, and loaded them all into the truck bed.
Sadly, there was no 2-liter cola.
【Qkrnfl892】─Se-hun really loves cola.
【Dick Lover】─How many are you buying?
【Plum Tree】─You'll die early if you keep that up.
It was 120 individual bottles of cola.
I had bought so many because of our family’s Gomdori.
Since that fellow loves cola even more intensely than I do.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Think Se-hun and I are kinda compatible actually. I like cola too.
【Reformed Guburi】─How about you just get hit.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. Trying to find common ground to link yourselves, nu!
【Hottie Licker】─lol Sometimes when I read Defense Force's chats, I really wanna hit you.
【Min-ji】─A moral ethics teacher committing assault...
【Hottie Licker】─It's a love tap. Lick.
【Yoho】─Boss. Are you heading home now?
"Huh? No."
I answered as I got in the car and entered my home address into the GPS.
"I'm eating dinner out too before I go in."
I was planning to eat out for dinner as well.
However, unlike lunch, I had no intention of searching for a good restaurant and going there.
I was planning to just eat at any decent-looking place I found on the way home.
***
While driving on a national highway.
A thick fog suddenly blanketed the road.
Because of it, visibility was drastically reduced.
"...I can barely see ahead."
【Reformed Guburi】─Drive slowly.
【Yoho】─Reduce your speed more. It's dangerous.
【Dick Lover】─Drive slow since you could get into an accident.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! It's a fog village, nu!
The viewers were also aware of the situation ahead.
Because in order to look for roadside restaurants together, this time I'd set up the camera to show the right front, not the driver's seat.
I'd told them to send a voice message if they spotted a decent restaurant.
【Plum Tree】─I can't see any of the buildings on the roadside because of the fog.
【Qkrnfl892】─For real, how do we find a restaurant like this.
"I can just start looking from wherever the fog lifts. It's not like the fog will last until I get home, right?"
The moment I said that.
The fog lifted in an instant, as if it were a lie.
No, rather than "lifted," "vanished" was a more accurate description.
【Reformed Guburi】─?? What the hell?
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. The fog just evaporated all of a sudden, nu.
【Dick Lover】─o.O?
It was a strange situation.
I checked behind me through the side mirrors, but there was no fog.
It was just as I was wondering what on earth had happened.
『'Min-ji' has donated 10,000 won.』
└Se-hun! There's a restaurant right in front of you!
Min-ji had sent a voice donation message.
I checked the right front immediately.
There, a solitary wooden building sitting lonesomely by the roadside came into view.
【Qkrnfl892】─What's that building? Looks pathetic as hell. lolol
【Dick Lover】─Is that really a restaurant?
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. Isn't it just a hut, nu?
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Is it the Wandering Restaurant?
【Hottie Licker】─Looks like an illegal building. Lick.
【Yoho】─How does that look like a restaurant to anyone?
【Min-ji】─It is a restaurant.
【Reformed Guburi】─Did that Yoho bastard's eyes go crooked? You see the roof, don't you? Even at a glance, it's a restaurant.
【Yoho】─Aha.
Just as Min-ji and Guburi had said.
Judging by the giant fork and knife models decorating the roof, it definitely seemed to be a restaurant.
