Hello
When
going on a trip overseas, we often eat that country’s special foods.
Further,
even when we are unable to travel, we can enjoy various foods vicariously
through Mukbang videos on YouTube.
Therefore,
today I will introduce the unique Mukbang Experience Challenge that you can try
out in Korea.
1. Pork Cutlet
Mukbang Challenge! “Sindaebang OnJeong Tonkatsu”
OnJeong
Tonkatsu is a famous pork cutlet shop sought out by many creators.
While
the challenge menu features the “great king tonktsu” and “spicy tonkatsu,”
if
you can eat one within the 20 minutes allotted time, you will receive a
prize.
On top of that, if you can eat it
all within just 5 minutes, you can eat as much as you would like for the next 6
months for free!
If you fail, you must pay a 20,000 won penalty.
Also,
if you would like to attempt the challenge, there are some things you must
prepare.
For the “great king tonkatsu” you’ll need some digestive aides, and
for the spicy tonkatsu you’ll need 500mL of milk!
*You
cannot attempt the challenge without these things prepared.
If
you cannot eat spicy foods well, then I suggest you try the “great king
tonkatsu!”
