I Flew To Korea's Hawaii To Try Black Pork
and I have just arrived on juju island also known as the hawaii of Korea and in this video I am on a mission to a) get impressions of what I heard is the best island in Korea and b) try the most famous dish here the juju black pork I heard it's the most delicious pork meat in all of Korea and many people come here just to try it so what is juju Island like and will the black pork really be that good let's find out feel free to join actually I want to show you the airplane really quick because look at this we have Pokémon design on the airplane I've never seen something like this before I would expect something like this on a Japanese Airline but this is actually a Korean Airline I flew with a budget Korean Airline called t-way and here we are on the biggest island of Korea okay I took a 1-hour domestic flight to get here so I don't have to go through immigration now so the process to leave the airport should be quick and easy and it looks quite busy here to be honest yeah this is from what I've heard the number one holiday Island for Koreans yeah I'm coming from a city called changju which uh is the newest airport to seong where I have been the past days you maybe saw my previous video from there hello juu here we are okay all right as usual I arrive here without much preparation I booked the trip or the flight to get here yesterday evening just booked my hotel literally 10 minutes before I uh booked the taxi to the airport that's how I like to travel spontaneous and without much preparation but I always see people in my comment section why are you not preparing your trips better that's just how I like to travel sometimes it's more fun and more exciting especially if you're filming the trip if you do the trip unplanned but look at this we have palm trees here hello G Drew wow that is a good person here I haven't seen palm trees like this in a while to be honest actually that already looks like in Hawaii right I've never been to Hawaii but I saw plenty of pictures or movies that were filmed in Hawaii and that's very typical for Hawaii as well these huge palm trees and have a look at this also looks interesting also reminds me to be honest a bit about Hawaii again so I want to use the Korean Uber now which is called cacao TXI funny name for an app but yeah it basically works exactly like Uber or in Southeast Asia and I've been using the app already quite a lot actually when I was in Soul For example okay so I have different taxis available here this is the estimated price and my hotel actually is a hotel that I'm really looking forward to I booked a room with Ocean View okay cacao tea TXI recursing a driver and I think we have a driver already that was quick I'm actually curious if you're fun career or if you live here what do you prefer taking the regular metor taxis or using the app oh hello and it no T it no stop oh you cannot stop there no stop stop okay no problem to be honest I'm not 100% sure if I choose the right location because when I searched for my hotel name in English I couldn't find it so I just dropped the pin on the map at the place where I think my hotel is not 100% sure okay but now let's get some First Impressions uh during the ride so we have juu City here which is also where the airport is which I think is the biggest city on the island we are now the northern tip of the island and because my room has an ocean view I expect that I will be able to see the sunset from my room okay my first impression here is that we have a few hotels here and there of course but I would have expected that there will be way more hotel and it will feel way more touristy so far I see many residential buildings here on both sides and then of course a few hotels here and there plenty of restaurants as well but the first impression is that it's not super touristy and we have arrived and what I really like about Korean Taxi is that you can always pay by card so you don't need to bring cash okay thank you very much and that's how you take cacao taxi the Korean Uber and here I am the day Century hotel which is costing me $50 a night including breakfast and with an ocean view from my room so let's see if that's worth the money good afternoon I would like to check in oh there's even a coffee shop and a little convenience store which I think it's 7-Eleven actually right connected to the lobby that's cool okay very easy and quick check in the staff even spoke English uh some of the Rev of the hotel has said that there's no English speaking staff here but even if that's the case I don't really care uh I'm looking for room 202 202 you know what something that I notice in Korea every time the hotel doors opening towards the floor towards the the hall usually in every other country I have been through in hotel so far the hotel doors always open open to the inside of the room just a funny little thing that I noticed here in Korea oh there's actually a room for three persons I think also something that I noticed in some Korean hotels there's a step here which I just stumbled up on the bathroom first okay we have a toilet here which I think is a heated toilet once again which I also had at my hotel in seong and heated toilets are really really nice to be honest we have a sink here we have a shower shower head like this okay but now let's check out the room and the view so I have a big double bed here and then a single bed here and then a big desk area here a place where I can place my suitcase always good to have what are we having here some instant coffee I assume hair dryer Kettle TV little seating area and now let's check out The View well okay it is Ocean View but not as good as I would have hoped for you know can I open the ah we can open it here okay oh actually now like this it's pretty nice a bit higher would have been nice right I think there are three more floors on top but uh I have palm trees here and I'm pretty sure that I have Sunset View here so maybe uh I'm probably going down to the 7-Eleven now to get a snack I'm really hungry and then maybe I will see you again in 1 and a half hours for Sunset View here have a look at this this looks actually quite beautiful here right they decorated the whole wall here with these blue shels and yeah I actually just left my hotel to walk to the ocean to have a look a proper look at the sunset there so my hotel is at the building right over there just a quick 2-minute walk maybe this is actually a restaurant here rooftop about view uh I didn't go to 7-Eleven so I'm still hungry have a look at this guys I think the sunset is going to be amazing over there I also really like these small little boats here maybe fishing boats people go out fishing here hello let's see if I can I think people are fishing here actually as well but I think actually I can continue walking here and then we're going to the tip over there for the best view we have a sign here in Korean probably this says something like be careful and don't fall into the water wow this is amazing look at the view here over the ocean here far in the distance we have the coast of China where the Sun is setting now and then we have southeast Asia in this direction somewhere over there should be Shanghai this is one of the best sunsets I have seen in a while actually oh what a view the boat riding towards the sunset yeah easy going what an arrival here but I'm hungry let's see what the restaurant over there has to offer hello can I get food here yeah yeah okay I have to order here yeah but you can change I saw on the menu outside the juu cheese pork cutlet yeah so easy just order on your little screen right here and then I guess uh they get a receipt over there what you ordered you see even you can even see the process here it's cooking right now where are you from I'm from Germany Germany Germany Germany here uh North Germany near Hamburg near HG cuz my younger brother is studying in Germany Berlin in Berlin yeah last year I lived I stayed in Berlin for one month oh really yeah how did you like it I love it you love it I went to Kit Kat where kitat you Kit Kat Club oh really you go inside yeah oh but i r you didn't like it what is what is this here this is pickle pickle reddish reddish ah okay okay okay looks very good okay thank you so much how funny she had a look inside the KitKat Club in Berlin which is known to be a very uh naughty Club in Berlin never been there myself but this club is well known in Germany but yeah look at this beautiful plate we have the pork cutlets here with the juu cheese according to the menu then we have a bit of rice on the side and then I think these are noodles actually let me try that right the way I think it's a noodle salad yeah I think it is with mayonnaise and then we have a little salad here and then the Pickled reddish let me actually take a picture for Instagram if you're not following me on Instagram yet feel free to do so K brought on Instagram I'm posting daily stories live updates behind the scenes oh you got to see this up close check out the cheese here it's melting out oh this looks delicious let's give it a try try oh this is delicious oh the cheese is very very good I think the Highlight for this meal is the cheese here cuz there lit look how much cheese is here look at this oh this is nice this is probably one of the best meals I had in Korea so far okay bye-bye bye-bye all right and we are now in the city center of of juu town so this island is quite large and there are several towns here on the island but to my understanding this one is the biggest one and this is also the the town where I arrived where the airport is so we are on the Northern side of the island now and yeah I just took a 30 minute taxi ride from my hotel to the city center and yeah I told you already earlier in the video that this island is very famous for its black pork so I'm definitely going to try the famous juu black Park Park later in the video many people from Korea traveled here just to eat the park so I'm really looking forward to that but first there's a market here in the middle of the city which I would like to explore I'm actually looking uh to buy a souvenir as well like a Korean souvenir something that is maybe typical here for the island so let's explore the market and see if I can find a souvenir and maybe also a little snake or something else I think this is not really a local traditional Market it looks more like a tourist Market because say yeah this island is very popular as a tourist destination for Korean people as well to be honest I haven't seen other foreigners here although I also heard that also many Chinese people like to come here because we're actually only like 1 hour away from Shanghai and I see lots of uh mandarine oranges here maybe even proper oranges funny story yesterday I posted my uh Instagram story that I am on juu island what's going on here some filming anyway yesterday I posted my Instagram story that I arrived in juu Island and then my sister replied to my story that she has been here before as well I didn't know that to be honest I knew that my sister was in Korea before but I didn't know that she also been to juu Island and then she told me that she actually uh picked Mandarin oranges here so that was quite funny so I think maybe this island is actually famous for mandarine oranges because she went to like a like a farm where they can pick them by themselves and then eat them something like that is that from juu oh I can try one okay thank you so much come s oh it's orange orange okay let's try the the G Orange it's actually quite uh quite delicious I would say there's way more taste to it than to regular orange or mandarin orange it's mandarin orange and now the problem is as usual in Korea I told you that in other videos before it's impossible to find a public trash bins so where do I throw this now yeah I had this situation actually many times before in Korea you just can't find public trash cans maybe here no so what do you do with it I still haven't found an answer to this question why are there no public trash cans in South Korea so there must be a secret people must throw their rubbish somewhere oh what are they doing here oh I think they are playing a game and he loses so he gets snatched on the forehead what's going on here is this a oh what's going on here oh I don't know where to look so many interesting things happening here check it out oh they are selling a delicious looking meat here and I think Seafood but I actually want to find out why they are playing walk paper scissor here oh and still going on I'm wondering if this is part of the the sales uh strategy here like you can play a game for example and if you win then you get something for free H you speak English uh why did you play W paper scissor with her I'm just curious why why did you play this and why did you do this I win yeah you win and if he win discounted 1,000 discount 1,000 oh I can I can play too yeah okay oh that looks delicious actually it's marshmallow right marshmallow in ice cream in ice cream outside the marshmallow inside ice cream oh hello hi okay so we are playing walk paper scissor here if I win and I get this uh for a discount and if she wins she can do like this uh on my forehead okay just one round how many times okay one time okay rocks how you one two three Rock just paper yeah that's the rock scor paper right yes and then we do one two three okay okay okay the pressure is on let's see if I can win or you can fil okay thank you 1 2 3 that means I win right yeah yes okay okay so now I get a discount yeah discount okay I get a discount you choose strawberry or chocolate um I'm going with vanilla oh sorry vanilla s then uh chocolate chocolate chocolate Okay okay so I got a discount for 1,000 because I was winning in work paper scissor very nice very well good good okay let me get uh how much 5 now thank you okay and let's see the process how she actually makes it because it's quite interesting so I think it's marshmallow and then inside we have ice cream so okay interesting and now she just burns it so probably caramelized on the sides okay it looks delicious already oh wow thank you thank you so much okay have a nice day thank you so much byebye okay now the the problem is how do I eat this on my YouTube It's a can abroad okay nice to meet you actually can you maybe hold the camera for one minute I just want to try this oh it's very interesting so the outside past smells like caramel because it's caramelized and then it's almost like just cream and then here we have the ice cream it's a very interesting combination because you bite into it the cream and the outside part is warm and then inside you have the cold ice cream oh very interesting but very good oh thank you so much bye thank you thank you for me yes oh oh thank you so much oh come thank you very much oh you want one you have already okay W I'm getting uh some more samples to try that's great and what a cool marketing strategy to let your customers uh play for a discount very a creative way I like that okay bye-bye guys thank you so much okay what I'm going to do now is I'm going to uh find a quiet place hello I'm going to find a quiet place where I can finish this without the camera and then I will return to see what else we can find here on the market so one thing that I see here that is being sold at many stalls is uh these little statues here hello how much are the statues here how much for this here cuz I think I actually also saw similar States all around the island for example at the airport I think I showed you the already earlier two two let's see how much 6,000 for two and what about these ones here the smaller ones how much are they 5,000 okay maybe this is the souvenir I'm looking for do you also have a pork uh the black pork por pork cuz I saw that over there ah this is pork this is the the juu pork here how much is the pork 7,000 okay am I going for a souvenir like the park or the statues I actually think that I might be able to transport the statues here a bit easier than the pork I'm scared that the pork will break in my suitcase but I have more trust in the statues these ones 5,000 okay I take the one please okay oh actually these ones here have G written on it oh now she uh wants to upsell me 8,000 uh I think this is too big I take the small ones here yeah okay oh this is also interesting a big Park here with two children's riding the Park yeah this island seems to be a crazy for pork I can't wait to try the pork later okay okay come thank you so much okay I got a little souvenir the market here is very interesting I see so many um interesting shops here and as you can see it's a very busy Market as well so it seems to be very popular for all the tourists here so if you're coming to J I would definitely recommend to check out this Market although it's a very touristy Market but nevertheless a very interesting one actually I'm curious to buy one of these drinks here as well because I think it's probably made from the mandarines here so this looks like just a fresh juice nothing added no sugar or something like that hello I'm looking for the juice how much is the juice one one how much how much, 3,000,000 I think she means 3,000 for one juice let's see if I get a 7,000 change actually also the bottle is the same shape as the statues so they really seem to be uh famous here in juu okay come s thank you okay actually I saw a little um park over there so let's uh check it out and then try the juice and then I researched a restaurant already where I can then later try the black pork and also here as all the other places I have visited in Korea in the past weeks it looks very clean everywhere also the place feels very safe very well organized so absolutely uh very easy and convenient country to travel around in my experience of the past weeks I said that in my very first video from Korea that it was a very spontaneous decision to come here but I definitely do not regret this decision actually quite the opposite I think I will return to uh Korea you know what I also like about Korea it's very peaceful people are always very friendly I think you saw many examples of very friendly and welcoming people in my videos people always smiling so I have the impression it is a very peaceful country here I like it and check this out we have once again another of these statues right here actually I saw something on Tik Tok what you can get here at these Korean convenience stores so let's see if I can uh find it here so it is a drink that you can buy here oh this is what I was looking for so you can get these plastic bags here and I think there's a drink inside and then you buy a cup with ice cubes here and then you can mix it for yourself L Salon IC tea grapefruit U IC tea I want to get the Kiwi banana Blended and yeah it's a liquid inside here and then you get one of these uh containers here with ice cubes 2,300 okay okay okay let's actually sit right here that's also something I really like about Korean convenience stores there's always a corner where you can sit down okay let me know if you're from Korea this is actually something popular to do getting these drinks and then mix it for yourself with the ice cubes smells really like um fake banana you know okay let's Pro it inside oh it's exactly the right amount to fit completely in here okay banana kiwi is a very interesting combination I like banana I like kiwi I think I never had this combination but it's actually not bad but I also have to say you can taste it uh it tastes very fake I'm not sure if there's actually any real banana or kiwi in here it tastes very fake but interesting I could imagine if you're a student or you want to go out with your friends you can actually just uh buy a cup with ice cubes here and then also mix some uh some drinks to go you know yeah unfortunately the weather today is not the best and actually as I'm saying that I feel some sprinkles on my skin so it might start to rain as well in a few minutes so unfortunately we can't really check out some of the beaches that you can also find on the island here and some of them actually also look pretty good on Google pictures but yeah it's not really a beach weather today right so what to do on a rainy cloudy day like this let's go and eat the black Park and here is the black Park Street where you can find the famous black Park which is so popular here on the island that some people travel to juu Island just to try the park so I'm really looking forward to try it now as well so we have plenty of restaurants here which are all I think Korean barbecue restaurants and they are all selling black Park and have a look we have a park riding a bicycle here that is a weird thing to see right that looks funny wow golden pork on the bicycle Hello I can eat the black pork here can I see you have the black pork here right ah black pork belly shoulder butt pork neck and then it's a barbecue here right barbecue okay barue okay let's go inside first and then I choose actually okay hello just one person yeah oh nice Korean barbecue restaurant here okay okay thank you so much yeah so this is a Korean barbecue restaurant so you'll Grill the meat by yourself here I order on the screen okay um so I think he just has switched it to English already for me um juu black pork we have black pork belly black pork neck pork belly meat I'm wondering if I'm ordering this is this like a set do I get side dishes as well or just the meat I mean after all I am here for the meat so I don't really care about the sides that much I think I'm going with the neck to be on okay should I also take some sides maybe a bowl of rice rice cooked in stone pot now let me just take a regular bowl of rice steamed eggs that sounds good as well so the black pork meat 200 g a bowl of rice and steamed eggs total price 25,000 ah I do get sides okay I haven't even ordered it yet make order oh I'm getting lots of sides actually okay so my first Korean barbecue experience in Korea oh we have a robot here yeah oh the robot is helping to serve the food that is also quite interesting I'm actually curious because I am in Korea do you also call it Korean barbecue here or do you just call it barbecue I mean if you in Thailand or the Philippines you call it Korean barbecue and what you mean is the whole process of doing this uh while having the food but I'm wondering if you also call a place like this in Korea Korean barbecue or do people here just call it barbecue is this included or I have to pay extra free all free free it together together okay I was wondering if all the sides are included or if I have to pay extra if I eat them okay and let's uh put the pork on the grill here actually it is grilled already a little bit Ah sauce and chofe sauce and chuffy sauce okay there some interesting vegetables I've never seen this before I think looks like a salad right okay this is spicy no no no no spicy little okay little spicy okay it looks like we're just putting everything on the grill here now oh she's cutting it with a scissor interesting that goes on here not on the grill me cook you cook okay thank you so much yeah and summer barbecue restaurant you cook on your own and I also had it before that uh somebody is cooking for you so I think that depends on the restaurant some are like this some are like that or I guess if I would ask to do it on my own that would be possible of course as well but since I have no idea how to do all this here the the helpers actually much appreciated yeah you hear the sizling here already oh that's the sound I like to hear oh it's interesting you use a scissor to cut the pork and the robot is coming that is so funny so the robot is delivering my egg and the rice okay oh that looks interesting as well really looking forward to try it and that's the rice okay okayu soy sauce Kore meat sauce Korea meat sauce okay soy sauce okay okay okay okay and then you can eat it like this okay okay okay that looks delicious almost like a like a scrambled egg so delicious already okay let me try the egg first oh the egg is already very delicious very different compared to scrumbled egg it's more fluffy and more light it feels lighter to eat okay I'm very very curious now to try the pork I mean that's what I'm here for see yeah okay you put the everything together ah okay okay okay yeah sace a little bit okay yeah yeah okay let's start with a little bit of the sauce here okay ah then you wrap it like this okay okay okay or uh like this is okay I want to try this first yeah okay see that's why it's so good that I have help here because otherwise I would have never figured this out how to actually eat this first time trying juu black p oh the meat is very very juicy very thick and juicy very delicious and now okay okay now let's try it with this one some of this okay one pork okay and sauce sauce and then she wraps it one bite one bite one bite one bite like this oh that is good that is good oh to be honest I prefer this one more than this one oh you have so many different flavors in your mouth the freshness from the salad the juicy meat taste then some spicy kicks from the from the salad here oh that is like an explosion of flavors in my mouth very very good but now I'm very very curious to just try one piece of the pork plain without any sauce without anything else so just the black pork now M oh this is delicious oh I need one more this one together with the fat in the end [Music] oh oh this is good amazing I think to be honest I would prefer or I do prefer just the meat plain you know when the meat is really good and has a really high quality you don't need any sauce or anything around it because the sauce sometimes can also destroy the flavor of the meat itself so if the meat is very good quality just eating the meat plain that's the best I mean if you order a very expensive steak in a steak restaurant you usually don't get ketchup or mayonnaise on the side as well because the meat quality is so good that you want to just taste the meat and I think that's also the case here in case you're wondering why this is called black pork because the juu pork looks like this it is literally a black pork that was very delicious very good thank you okay that was a good food experience and I came to the ocean front we have a harbor here a little Hill and yeah this is the main city juu city and yeah guys unfortunately this is also the end of my career trip I really enjoyed traveling around here the past weeks and I hope you also enjoyed my Korea series and I'm pretty sure that I will be back in Korea sooner or later but yeah I'm leaving the country tomorrow and then I will see you again very soon in another video from another country and if you haven't seen my previous video from Korea where I explored SE Jong the new capital of Korea then feel free to check out the video right here stay healthy stay positive and then see you on the next episode ciao guys
