Chef Anh Sung-jae's "Dubai jjondeuk cookie" made netizens laugh with some of the harshest reviews ever.
On the 24th, a video titled "Santa Sung-jae's Dubai jjondeuk cookie first reveal?! Christmas recipe with mini bellugas" was uploaded to the 'Chef Anh Sung-jae' channel.
That day on 'Anh Sung-jaegeodeongyo', Anh Sung-jae's daughter Si-young and son Eun-gi appeared as guests and joined him in cooking. Anh Sung-jae decided to make the children's desired bulgogi pizza and Dubai jjondeuk cookie, and said, "The jjondeuk cookie Si-young imagined will take a while because it needs to set and such. Let's make it all at once so it tastes like what Si-young imagines and can be made at home."
But from the first step, Anh Sung-jae appeared to be at odds with his daughter Si-young. Anh Sung-jae put marshmallows in a frying pan, saying, "First, melt the marshmallows," and Si-young said, "You have to melt the butter first." Anh Sung-jae replied, "No," and when Si-young said, "(You) need to add a lot. Normally you have to add a lot. This becomes very small," he dodged answering with "You want to add a lot?" which drew laughter.
Si-young, who was melting the marshmallows, said again, "We should lower the heat a bit. It's sticking too much," and "The marshmallows have become really small? I think we need to add a little more," but Anh Sung-jae retorted, "No, it's enough. Dad's fine." When asked, "How many will you make?" he explained, "I'm not making a few; I'm going to set them here. And we'll cut and eat them," and Si-young said, "It's not something you cut and eat?" in puzzlement.
Anh Sung-jae said, "We will cut and eat them," and Si-young explained, "We're supposed to make them round.." Nevertheless, Anh Sung-jae stubbornly stuck to his method, saying, "I won't make them round." When Si-young pointed out, "You're not supposed to put the kadaif here but mix it with this," he said, "No. It's different, this is something else," and comforted her, "I guarantee it'll come out tasty, don't worry." Then Si-young delivered a blunt line that made people laugh: "Well, it will taste fine, of course marshmallows are in it.."
After that, Anh Sung-jae added more kadaif, saying, "It will be too sweet," and explained, "I'll just put it all in. It's too sweet. This is slightly Dubai but American Dubai style." Si-young kept tilting her head, saying, "This really isn't it.. Is this right?" Anh Sung-jae confidently replied, "What you know isn't everything."
Anh Sung-jae spread the finished marshmallow into a mold and sprinkled cocoa powder, explaining, "It's not the Dubai jjondeuk cookie Si-young imagines, but the taste will be similar." But the powder turned out to be dark chocolate rather than cocoa, which left Si-young baffled. Next, while they baked the bulgogi pizza, they finished the Dubai jjondeuk cookie, and Anh Sung-jae grated and sprinkled pistachio over the cookie removed from the mold.
Then Si-young said, "Don't sprinkle that much. The cheese will all come out," and Anh Sung-jae insisted, "It's okay if a little shows. It's tasty." Si-young repeatedly emphasized, "Don't sprinkle. It tastes bad. I don't like it. Just sprinkle this much," and Anh Sung-jae sprinkled only half as she requested.
After the cooking was finished, Anh Sung-jae sat down with his family and tasted the homemade bulgogi pizza and Dubai jjondeuk cookie. After tasting the Dubai jjondeuk cookie, Anh Sung-jae began, "Of course it's chewy..," but Si-young and Eun-gi firmly said, "It's not." However, Anh Sung-jae expressed satisfaction, saying, "It's not like the chewy cookie Si-young eats, but it's something you can eat comfortably. It's the kind you can have with a cup of tea."
After the video was released, malicious comments poured in toward the Dubai jjondeuk cookie made by Anh Sung-jae. That was because neither the cooking process, the method, the ingredients used, nor the finished appearance resembled the popular Dubai jjondeuk cookie sold on the market. Netizens burst out, "Ah I want to slam the door and go into my room," "Even a woman in her thirties said she'd make the Dubai jjondeuk cookie, so I came in excited but cried watching Kang Jongㅠㅠ Si-young is so kind," "Si-young, tell dad to order a hundred Dubai jjondeuk cookies with his card and bring them home," "If I were that age I would have cried saying this isn't the Dubai jjondeuk cookie," "I asked for fried chicken but they gave me boiled chicken," "It's just kkakgangjeong anyway," expressing their outrage.
Also, parodying the Netflix show 'Culinary Class Wars' in which Anh Sung-jae appeared, witty harsh comments that drew laughter appeared, such as "I couldn't grasp the intent geodeongyo: dad belluga is eliminated," "Mr. Anh Sung-jae, I will put the Dubai jjondeuk cookie on hold," "If you're going to interpret dad's Dubai jjondeuk cookie like this, then why did Edward Lee say bibimbap isn't bibimbap?", "This isn't chewy; it's just Dubai layover level," and "Mr. Anh Sung-jae, you're eliminated."
Meanwhile, netizens complained, "Don't think you'll call another guest in the next video like nothing happened and cook. Hurry up and remake the Dubai jjondeuk cookie," "Day one of the Dubai jjondeuk cookie remake protest," "Please re-film with the concept of Si-young teaching how to make the Dubai jjondeuk cookie," raising curiosity about whether there will be a revenge "Dubai jjondeuk cookie" remake.
