Actress Jang Shin-young, wife of Kang Kyung-jun, is set to appear on ‘New Release Pyeon Restaurant’.
In the KBS2 Lunar New Year special ‘New Release Pyeon Restaurant’ (hereafter ‘Pyeon Restaurant’) airing on the 31st, new chef Jang Shin-young will make her first appearance. She is expected to reveal her frugal cooking skills and various tips for side dishes, drawing attention. It has been reported that Jang Shin-young has even gained a new nickname through ‘Pyeon Restaurant’, making this broadcast even more noteworthy.
In the VCR released that day, Jang Shin-young was seen bustling about from the morning. The camera captured her exceptionally tidy living room and kitchen. Everything was neatly organized in the storage cabinets, and the pantry, which is usually filled with various ingredients, was also clean, with even the drain shining without a trace of water stains. The ‘Pyeon Restaurant’ crew exclaimed, “Isn’t this a model house? Is this really a house where people live?”
What surprised everyone even more was the refrigerator. The ingredients inside were more empty than expected, but they were neatly categorized and stored. Jang Shin-young shared her food management know-how, saying, “I pay a lot of attention to buying a reasonable amount of ingredients and using them all without waste,” which piqued interest.
From the refrigerator, Jang Shin-young’s frugality was evident as she spent a considerable amount of time writing a shopping list to prepare eight side dishes for the week, stating, “30,000 won should be enough,” which raised eyebrows. This amount is not easy to manage in today’s high-inflation era. The ‘Pyeon Restaurant’ crew, observing her shopping, nodded in agreement at her wise shopping techniques.
Jang Shin-young’s frugal nature didn’t stop there. The most expensive ingredients were purchased through a group buy with friendly neighborhood housewives. Upon seeing the amount saved through the group buy, the ‘Pyeon Restaurant’ crew exclaimed, “There’s a reason for group buying,” in admiration. MC Boom remarked, “I want to call her ‘Frugal Shin-young’ in a good way,” which resonated with everyone.
Having purchased ingredients for eight side dishes frugally, Jang Shin-young cooked two or three dishes simultaneously and whipped up eight delicious side dishes in just two hours. Jang Shin-young’s challenge as a chef, showcasing her frugal living skills, can be seen on ‘New Release Pyeon Restaurant’ airing at 8:30 PM on the 31st.
