Chef Jung Ho-young, who made it to the TOP 7 on Netflix's 'Black and White Chef 2', faced a humorous setback.
On the October 5th episode of KBS2's variety show 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears' (directed by Choi Seung-hee), Jung Ho-young embarked on a Hong Kong tour with Jung Ji-sun.
Jung Ho-young stated, “I gathered three self-employed individuals who are too talented to stay only in Korea for a Hong Kong tour,” inviting Jung Ji-sun and Yang Jun-hyuk. Jung Ji-sun, who is set to open a restaurant in Taiwan this year, said, “I thought the second location might be in Hong Kong, so I decided to join.”
The trio headed to a Chinese restaurant located in Central, Hong Kong, where each floor costs about 100 billion won. Renowned Hong Kong chef Lee Man-sing, with 40 years of culinary experience, warmly greeted Jung Ji-sun.
Jung Ho-young attempted to promote himself through 'Black and White Chef' Season 2, but was humorously deflated when Chef Lee Man-sing admitted, “I haven't watched Season 2.” Chef Lee showcased signature dishes like siu mai dim sum, Iberico plum char siu, smoked cod, lobster mapo tofu, and Peking duck, leaving everyone in awe. Both chefs, Jung Ho-young and Jung Ji-sun, were amazed by the restaurant's scale, located in Hong Kong's financial district, serving about 300 guests daily with over 100 staff members.
The group then visited a museum in West Kowloon, Hong Kong's cultural district. Inside, they were surprised to find 'Mosu Hong Kong', operated by Chef Ahn Sung-jae. Having visited Mosu Seoul, Jung Ji-sun showed great interest in Mosu Hong Kong's menu, which uses local ingredients. The trio savored Mosu's signature abalone taco, relishing the experience.
Meanwhile, 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears' airs every Sunday at 4:40 PM on KBS 2TV.
