Space Rice Cake Shop (우주떡집)

(This program contains indirect advertisements.)

(They excitedly opened up for their 2nd day of business.)

(Space Rice Cake launched a new menu.)

(The vibrant light green color is an eye-catcher.)

(As soon as it launched, the praises poured in.)

(They opened with full confidence and high spirits, but...)

(They hit an unexpected snag with the hard rice cakes.)

(And the customers kept on flooding in.)

(Customers keep coming in slowly, just like Grand Prince Suyang.)

(The crowd with the fierce vibe of Grand Prince Suyang want to order.)

Take your time with the menu and feel free to ask me...

- Jade Emperor Tteokbokki... - Yes.

Please feel free to ask me anything.

Two of that and one pomegranate slushy, please.

- Would you like any soda with that? - No.

Okay. Got it.

One pomegranate slushy...

- and one tteokramisu chestnut, yes? - Yes.

- Coming right up. - Thank you.

Thank you.

- If you like mala tteokbokki, - Yes.

- I totally recommend it. Yes. - Really?

- We got orders. - Okay.

All right. Hit us with the orders.

(Tteokbokki Order Status: two small original tteokbokki, )

(one small basil tteokbokki, one small mala tteokbokki)

One small basil tteokbokki.

- Coming right up. - Okay.

Look at this green onion that Yu Jin chopped.

It's okay.

I didn't know Yu Jin was still here.

- I didn't give you something? - No.

- I'm sorry. - Don't be.

- Whatever it is, I'm sorry. - I love you, Yu Jin.

- That's okay. - I just wanted to say I love you.

I really love you.

(She starts making tteokbokki before getting caught.)

This is a bit too much of the sauce, but...

Good. The rice cakes are in.

Is today a special day or something?

- We'll be off. - Yes. Thank you.

(Every single burner is fully ignited.)

The rice cakes went in.

(Tteokbokki Progress: Original and basil, in progress)

- This cuts through the greasiness. - It's good.

(The customers outside are ready for dessert now.)

- It'll be ready shortly. - Hold on.

(But there's still no sign of the desserts coming out.)

Fishcakes.

They didn't forget about our tteokramisu, right?

Good. Thank you.

I'm practicing.

(She's a bit slow since it's her first time, but she's thorough.)

(She looks more serious than ever since the grand opening.)

(to add a generous layer of chestnut powder.)

(Like a squirrel storing acorns, she gathers the desserts.)

(She keeps the spare desserts nice and cool in the fridge.)

(Right after that, she serves the rest.)

It's topped with a whole chestnut.

That's right. Yes.

(They take a big bite after waiting eagerly.)

This is the perfect dessert after the spicy dish.

Yes.

It's good.

The ocean breeze feels so great.

I'm turning the heat up a little.

This burner won't light.

(with a wind at the speed of 2.7m per second.)

(But since we're near the ocean, the wind can be a lot stronger.)

(That's it for today's weather forecast...)

(Thanks to that wind, she's fighting a battle against nature.)

Everytime I put it on low heat, the fire just blows out.

Right.

- That's what's happening right now. - But I need to cook it on low heat.

(The wind keeps blowing, leaving Young Ji flustered.)

It went out again. This is annoying.

- I've got this. - You've got this.

That happens.

(Tteokbokki Progress: Original, in progress, basil, fire out, )

(Thinking about the customers who are waiting for their food...)

I've changed my strategy.

(You must stay calm at times like this!)

Please give me a moment.

Trust me.

I trust you.

(She adjusts the heat with Chef Mimi's help.)

The rice cakes look bouncy.

(When the tteokbokki is simmered down to perfection...)

- Thank you. - They're hot. Be careful.

- Got it. - Be careful.

- Small original tteokbokki is up. - Okay.

- Original tteokbokki is coming out. - Okay.

Another small original tteokbokki is ready.

Basil tteokbokki is ready.

(Tteokbokki Progress: Mala, cooking starts now)

It's my first time getting an order for a small portion of this.

(She puts rice cakes in the pot skillfully.)

- It's already too late. - Why so busy today?

Oh, right. Okay.

(But it's not okay without beef loin.)

The mala tteokbokki will be ready in one minute.

Young Ji, isn't mala tteokbokki supposed to...

have beef loin?

(It's already simmered down. It's too late to cook beef loin.)

- Can you grill beef loin for me? - Okay.

Thank you.

(Sous Chef Duties: Pollack roe and clam pasta, fried sides, )

(cheering up the head chef, grilling beef loin)

(She puts beef loin in the frying pan.)

A fistful of beef loin? It's okay.

(While Mimi is stir-frying the meat quickly...)

(Grand Prince Suyang solo table: Don't Eat Ghost Pepper Tteokbokki)

- The tteokbokki will be ready soon. - It's okay. Take your time.

- She's waiting for mala tteokbokki. - It's ready.

- Oh, okay. - It's ready.

Just give me 20 seconds.

Stack it up nicely. Thank you.

- Let's use this only for the meat. - Mala tteokbokki is ready.

Thank you for waiting.

(Tteokbokki Progress: Original and basil, ready and served, )

Hello. I can take your payment here.

- Thank you. Go home safely. - Thank you. Bye.

(The first customers from the opening time head out.)

(The next wave of customers enters, leaving no tables empty.)

- Hello. I'm sorry for the wait. - Hello.

Oh, my. Yu Jin, the owner of the general store is here.

- My goodness. Welcome. - Ma'am, you weren't there earlier.

- You weren't there earlier. - Will you give us more free food?

The owner of the general store is here...

This is amazing. Please give me a second.

(She quickly leaves to avoid an awkward situation.)

- How many in your party? - Four.

Please give me a moment.

Your table is ready inside.

(Large parties are rolling in one after another.)

We've got 2 new parties of 4 and 5.

- Let's see how it goes for now. - Okay.

- Are you ready to order? - Yes.

- Hello. - All right.

Can we have one of everything?

Please give me a second.

(She's taken aback by these big eaters.)

(Sensing the looming disaster, she gets her gear ready.)

- Will you try the "Don't Eat" one? - Yes.

Don't Eat Ghost Pepper Tteokbokki.

- Don't Eat Ghost Pepper Tteokbokki. - Yes.

Has anyone taken your order yet?

- May I take your order? - Okay.

Yes, please. We'd like to try something you recommend.

- Then... - If it's not good, we'll return it.

- That won't happen. I'm confident. - She sounds confident.

I recommend one medium original tteokbokki...

- We serve basil tteokbokki now. - I see.

Focus, everyone. We got another order.

One small original tteokbokki,

one medium Don't Eat Ghost Pepper Tteokbokki,

one medium pollack roe and clam pasta,

one tteokramisu chestnut, one of each slushy,

and one small Broccolino Basiliano.

Wait. Can you repeat it just once?

(Order Status: 2 original, 1 mala, 2 basil tteokbokki, )

(1 pasta, 1 tteokramisu chestnut, 2 slushies)

Hello.

Hello. Are there two in your party?

Broccolino Basiliano...

- One small portion. - Yes.

- We got an order. A new order. - Thank you.

A new order? No way.

One medium original tteokbokki,

one medium Broccolino Basiliano,

- and three pomegranate slushies. - No way. You're lying.

- Okay. Got it. - Okay.

(Tteokbokki Order Status: 2 original, 2 mala, 3 basil)

(She hasn't even started cooking a single one.)

I'll change my cooking gloves.
