Trying mukbang with local food items is pleasurable if done correctly with hearty platters that are as per the records, coupled well together, like Jhalmuri with all the fresh tomatoes, coriander leaves, shingara, and a hot cup of masala tea. Although food is a way out of boredom, it can become enjoyable if done correctly.
On Pinterest, if one searches mukbang, a category named food recipes pops up that introduces mukbang recipes to the world. It consists of fast food items like BBQ chicken, fries, burgers, fish fillets, cheese-covered sandwiches, and more. Thanks to the surge of South Korean pop culture, mukbang is in our heads but primarily as its foreign lookup itself.
Given that anything done regularly can cause at least the slightest bit of boredom, a fast food-centric mukbang can indeed cause trouble for the taste buds and health. A mukbang food pile consisting of wedges, vegetable soup, and crispy Shingara would also be widely accepted for one having a bit of a rough time out and about.
mukbang does not always have to consist of more than three food items, like a Ramen bowl; it can consist of two to three items that pair extremely suitably, as per the taste records. Tea served with chotpoti can also be mukbang. Imagine having a large cup of Masala tea and a medium-sized bowl filled with spicy and nice chotpoti on a day when your office tires you out, and it drizzles or pours randomly. Or think about Bakarkhani, a bit of dense, sweet-balanced Kheer and a hot cup of Cha.
The menu at local food-oriented restaurants like Jatra Biroti or Beauty Boarding offers a peek at the food that sings well together. For example, bhorta of different varieties taste just as good. Begun Bhaja with Polau Khichuri tastes like none other, but if cooked properly, bhorta will bring a fresh and yummy start to the dish. Achar and salad, add the oomph.
Mukbang with friends is a hearty meal shared, or mukbang alone is a time of joy like self-date.
The delight of a mukbang consisting of local food hugs the mouth quite like none other. The condition of the food gathering enforces the fresh and hot, crispy or juicy, but spicy rules, heaven for tastebuds. The remarkability of the food piling that is ordered and prepared just a couple of minutes ago or cooked and served moments before is that anything freshly prepared smells and tastes better than a chicken meal cooked hours ago.
Mukbang has yet to be welcomed by Bangladeshi people, but if done right, it can become a smash hit, even in large communities.
It is important to include food that pairs well. Crispy pairs well with soup or juice-based food like fried chicken strips pairs in a sense of opposition but well with its jhol or curry soup version. Adding more familiar and notably well-pairing stuff like aromatic polao rice, chicken curry, fried and sliced potato, and beresta does the trick straightforwardly.
Any combination of food items that sounds better when the amount enlarges is the mukbang item, perfect for serving. If tuned well, it can be as refreshing as a glass full of lacchhi for the mind and calming for the body.
