JTBC's 'Talk Partner 25 O'Clock' (directed by Hong Sang-hoon), which airs at 8:50 pm today (13th), features an online trip to Lisbon, Portugal and 'real local restaurants' in Hong Kong and Spain. Chef Lee Yeon-bok, a master of Chinese cuisine, appears as a guest for a tour of delicious local restaurants, adding to the fun of the story.
On this day's broadcast, chef Lee Yeon-bok was asked about a good restaurant and mentioned a budget-friendly buffet in Jeju Island, but he was worried that people would flock after the broadcast and did not reveal the name of the restaurant, making the cast anxious. He also boasts a deep relationship with MCs. In particular, Chef Lee Yeon-bok praises MC Lee Chan-won by saying, “The only weakness is that MC Lee Chan-won has no flaws,” and even pours out a story about Chan-won Lee paying the company dinner expenses on his behalf, adding to the warmth.
Next, in the 'Talk Agent Direct Purchase' corner, we delve into Lisbon guided by a Portuguese 'TALK' agent. Take the time to learn about Portugal by visiting Belem Tower and the Monument to the Discoveries, where you can learn about the history of the Age of Exploration. Tyler, who visited the world's first egg tart shop and tasted it himself, praised its taste, raising curiosity. A fruitful online trip is prepared, including an elevator said to have been built by Eiffel's disciple and a restaurant where you can enjoy fado, Lisbon's representative music genre that combines music and poetry.
Next, in 'Talk Partner World Exploration Life', we visit 'real local restaurants' that only locals know about. In Hong Kong, the 'gourmet paradise', dim sum restaurants that have been loved by locals for over 100 years, street restaurants that have been included in the Michelin Guide for four consecutive years, and Hong Kong-style pot rice, Po Chai Pan, where you can top your meal with a variety of ingredients according to your taste, are receiving attention from foreign media. You can find a variety of Hong Kong restaurants, including one new local restaurant.
A video of a local restaurant in Barcelona, Spain, will also be released. Starting with a traditional Spanish churro restaurant where people wait in long lines from early in the morning, to a beach restaurant selling Spanish-style fried seafood noodle fideua, it contains a variety of restaurants that can only be enjoyed in Barcelona. Fideua is stimulating curiosity as it has a visual reminiscent of hijiki and a taste similar to Samseon Jjajangmyeon.
In addition, Kalsotta, which is grilled over a fire, then peeled off the burnt part and eaten, attracts attention. In the studio, green onions were used instead of calsot, and time was spent cooking and tasting the green onions in the same way as calsotada. Above all, MC Jeon Hyun-moo, who is serious about green onions, is said to have made people laugh by constantly inhaling green onions like a 'pa chin guy(?)'.
JTBC's 'Talk Partner 25 O'clock' will be broadcast at 8:50 pm today (13th).
