K-Food Showdown in Thailand: ‘Uribong Sikdang’ vs ‘Paeng Sikdang’ on JTBC’s Culinary Reality Show
Get ready for a sizzling face-off as JTBC (Joongang Tongyang Broadcasting Company) brings culinary drama to the screen with Episode 2 of ‘Daegyeol! Paengbong Paengbong’, airing this Wednesday at 7:10 PM KST. Viewers will witness the long-awaited showdown between ‘Uribong Sikdang’ and ‘Paeng Sikdang’, two pop-up restaurants run by Korean celebrities on a remote Thai island.
Led by passionate heads of kitchen, comedian Lee Bong-won and rising star Lee Eun-ji join forces with actor Kwak Dong-yeon as the ‘Uribong Sikdang’ team prepares savory bowls of Jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup) and crispy Tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork). Under Bong-won’s mentorship, Kwak tries his hand at kneading fresh dough while Lee Eun-ji takes up the challenge of pulling noodles.
On the opposing side, ‘Paeng Sikdang’—helmed by veteran actress Paeng Hyun-sook and TV personality Choi Yang-rak—teams up with actor Yoo Seung-ho. Their menu features hearty Korean pork rice soup (Dwaejigukbap) and tender boild pork slices, with Hyun-sook leading broth preparation while the group whips up traditional Korean side dishes.
With distinct flavors and fierce determination, both teams aim to win over local Thai palates. The stakes rise as the episode reveals the special ‘benefit item’ that will be awarded to the winning team—a must-have tool for running the restaurant, pushing the competitive fire between team leaders to the brim.
Tension brews as both teams anticipate their first customers. Will ‘Uribong Sikdang’ or ‘Paeng Sikdang’ make the first sale? Adding more spice to the drama is newcomer Yoo Seung-ho, who awkwardly adjusts to his role as hall staff. A teaser shows Yoo navigating cooking chaos, exclaiming, “It’s chaos in here!” after stepping into the kitchen with the seasoned couple duo in charge.
Don’t miss out on this high-stakes culinary clash—tune in to JTBC’s ‘Daegyeol! Paengbong Paengbong’ this Wednesday at 7:10 PM to see which kitchen reigns supreme!
