Meeting a Japanese girl soon!

Hello and welcome back to another Korean

food taste test. Today we have Japaghetti,

which kind of sounds like Japanese

spaghetti, but I don't think that's where

the word comes from. I don't know why it's

called Japaghetti. I guess if you Google

it, you'll be able to find out, but I just

don't really care that much, so we're just

going to eat it. Now, as you can see from

the picture, it's kind of like a dark

brownish noodle,

noodle soup. But I think the picture, you

know, the picture always looks really good

compared to the actual product. We have

carrots and peas, but I really don't think

there's going to be carrots and peas in

here. So we'll make this and see if it

looks anything like this picture.

It's dirty. Didn't wash my frying pan.

Okay, so I washed my frying pan. It's okay

if there's water in it because we're

boiling these noodles. And where are my

scissors? Japaghetti in my belly.

Do do do do do.

Let's see what's inside. Oh, it's

interesting how it's a circle shape.

Usually ramen is like a rectangle shape.

It fits directly into the frying pan

really nicely. What else do we have?

We've got some Japaghetti powder,

very important. And we've got some dried

vegetables flakes, vegetable flakes.

And we've got this Olive oil.

What? Why is there olive oil? Why would I

put olive oil into ramen? Okay, so this is

how I like to prepare ramen. I'll show you

my secrets. First of all, you get the

powder and

that goes straight in. Whoa, it's very

black. It looks like dirt. Look at that,

it's like dirt.

And then next we get the vegetables.

I don't think it's going to look like the

picture. Look at the picture. In the

picture we have fresh-looking carrots and

peas, and then reality.

What is that? Look at these. Are these the

Can I focus? No, I cannot.

There we go. Look at the carrot, it's just

like a flake. And I don't even know what

these are. They look like rabbit pellets,

rabbit food.

Focus. Anyway, it's instant

ramen, what do you expect? You're not

going to get fresh Vegetables in

instant ramen, and I don't know if I want

to use this. Oh, it just drips

all over the place. It doesn't smell like

olive oil. I don't think it is olive oil,

but why does it say olive oil on the

label? I don't know. Where's my tissue

Look, I spilled it.

Okay, so next we bring it over to the

kitchen station. We need some water. How

do I put the water in? Like this.

Whoa.

It's very heavy.

And then we need lighting and then fire.

Turn this off. Should take

a few minutes. See you then. So whilst

we're waiting, I wanted to give you an

update on what's happening with the

Japanese girl. So if you watched— which

video did I talk about the Japanese girl?

I think it was the McDonald's video. You

know, I was saying that it was a trick and

her account on Instagram vanished. Guess

what happened? A few days later, she made

a new account, sent me a new message, and

she explained what happened. She said that

her boyfriend— yeah, this is a surprise to

me, apparently she has a boyfriend.

Anyway, her boyfriend found out that we

were chatting to each other, and then he

demanded that she tell him the password.

And then he deleted her account on

Instagram and they had a fight,

and then she made a new account, but she's

still coming anyway. And they

don't live together, or it's not a very

good relationship. I don't know. She said

that they don't really see each other much

anyway, so it's not like it's

a proper relationship. I don't know if I

should believe this story. It sounds kind

of fishy, doesn't it?

But I'm pretty sure she's real because I

asked her to send me voice messages and I

asked her to say specific things and she

said them. And I asked her to make this

sign with her hands and take a photo of

it. She did. And she's taken

several other photos and it's all the same

person, you know, the same mattress, the

same body. So I I'm convinced she's real.

Now, I don't know if she's actually going

to come. She said she'll take a picture of

herself when she's arrived at the train

station. I don't know, I still feel like

this is too good to be true, and I let my

guard down before, and when I thought she

was fake, when she disappeared, I actually

felt really sad. Now I'm a bit worried

that if I let my defenses down again and

just believe her. The same thing will

happen again, then I'll feel sad again.

So I don't know, I feel kind of confused

about it. She's supposed to be coming

tomorrow. I guess we'll find out then. It

just sounds too good to be true. I have a

feeling that there's going to be some kind

of catch. What is the catch?

I don't know yet. These noodles look very

black. I think I put too much

water. I think I ruined it.

Hopefully it's not too diluted and it will

still taste good. It smells good.

It's getting soft. That is a good

indication that it is cooking.

Nice and soft. I don't like them too soft.

I like them slightly hard, not crunchy.

But I don't like it when they go really

These noodles are good because they are a

tiny bit like Pot Noodle noodles. They've

got a bit of strength to them. They're not

all flimsy. They don't flop about. I don't

like it when the noodles are really

flimsy.

That's coming along very nicely.

Okay, I think we're ready to serve it now.

When I eat ramen, I don't really like the

soup because it splashes everywhere and

makes your chin wet, splashes your face

and burns you. So I just take the noodles

out like this. There's already

enough of the soup soaked into the noodles

to give it flavor, so I don't really feel

like it's necessary to have the soup with

Wow, that's very pretty.

The problem is we're gonna have all the

flakes and the vegetables in the soup,

and I need to sieve them out, which could

be a pain.

How do I get the, the vegetable flakes

out? Wow, that looks really good,

doesn't it?

I think for the vegetable flakes,

um, how do I get them out?

Do I even need them? I can get some of

them out like this.

Well, we have some. I don't think it's

that important.

Okay, let's just try them like this. I

think it's fine. It'll be fine.

I honestly think these are the best ramen

you can get in Korea.

I always used to ask my ex-Korean

girlfriend to send them to me.

Korean people love sending food overseas,

don't they? I had this other Korean friend

as well, a girl, and she would send me

these big boxes of Korean food. Full of

snacks and stuff. Oh, I remember Sayaka

did that as well. She sent me a big box of

Japanese snacks. Used to make me feel

really good, like I had a proper

girlfriend who cared about me. It's nice

when people care about you, isn't it? I

might need a spoon.

It's a bit like spaghetti, you know.

Actually, I think a fork might

be Better. It's called japaghetti,

kind of like spaghetti. So I hate it when

you spoon it up and then you get these

dangling bits and then they flop

Not bad. I feel like it's a bit bland.

Maybe I need the soup. Maybe if I pour

some of the soup on.

Okay, that should make it more flavor—

flavorful— flavorsome.

It's the annoying thing about noodles.

They're so tricky to eat.

Oh yeah,

that's quite good.

A bit better.

I think I put too much water.

I don't know why it goes black.

It's okay, I guess. It's not as great

as I remember. I remember it being better.

Maybe I didn't make it properly.

Oh well.
