Good morning. It is 5:30 in the morning
I am on my way to the shilla hotel in seoul where according to my local friend has the best
all-you-Can-eat buffet in seoul if not all of Korea
And that's especially the case for breakfast and because you know the early bird gets the untouched buffet and of course my jet lag
I'm going to go there now
That's the lobby
I think this will be the fanciest breakfast buffet I've ever been to
My view is so nice. Look at that
All right, let's go scope out the buffet
This is their juice selection, they've got the typical oranges, grapefruit juice, and for the very health conscious kale and cucumber and apple
all the fruits are so beautiful here. Homemade yogurts because you can't buy yogurts in the pack that is not civilized. there's
so insane
This chef's recommendation contains chicken who woulda guessed? These are the most beautiful
Hard-boiled eggs. I've ever seen my life. I mean these are the brad pitt of the humpty dumpty world
It's like these aren't just chefs working here. These are like cosmologists
I mean even the beans look good and check out all that bacon and that is the bacon godfather
They have an entire Dim sum area with someone making Dim sum fresh
Look at all this sauce. Yes, hot oil
Thank you, fresh coffee. That was
Mind-blowing to say the least I'm so excited. Let's go for round one I
I wanna try these stir-fried anchovies
Seasoned pumpkin vegetables, soy sauce quail eggs, mushroom salad, mozzarella cheese salad
tomato confit and this chef recommended chicken. Fresh watermelon juice
Even the place setting is beautiful
That is simply a delicious. Anchovies nice and chewy, but make sure that walnut that there's also a little crunchy nutty
The chef's recommended chicken is okay. definitely a lot of asian spices in there
Hmm
That pumpkin is actually delicious lightly seasoned a little spicy
That's when Okapi is awesome. So sweet. I even deserve round two. I let's get a little serious here
These scrambled eggs are the best looking scrambled eggs I've ever seen
I just got some basic common breakfast items just to see if they do it better than anywhere else I
Feel like I just ate an Eggy cloud seriously
I
Just divine. I came and really taste salt and pepper, but that's just fantastic
I don't have high hopes for this guy
And he seems a little tough feel like if someone threw this at me it'd knock me out
Barbecue chicken, I don't like it that eating so much chicken at a Buffet
That is
Fan-chicken-tastic. the chicken is tender. but the thing is when you put into your mouth and get this fantastic
Smoky charred Flavor
Beautiful piece of chicken frittata I feel like it's been sitting under that buffet lamp up death little too long
so it looks a little dry I
Still good
Sometimes I don't like sausage for the sausage ship. You can taste the pork , you can taste a chicken
It's not overly greasy it actually tastes, dare I say healthy
We've got look at this tomato those things can have a little mini explosion in my mouth. I know it
Mmm that all just turned to look like I feel like a second welcome to the most beautiful egg
Ever feel like I'm one of those European aristocrats eating my egg like this now. I'm a little cake holder
It's very very soft, but I'll salt and pepper
Whoa-ho-ho, I just struck gold oh my God
Hmm. This is like the most perfect soft-boiled egg. Wow that is liquid gold right there, so creamy and delicious
Round three I got a bunch of dim sum and Chinese dishes I
Think that scrimshaw mais when practicing is kombu has got a really tough. This is a steamed egg
That is like a gentle massage on my tongue
What a pleasure to eat, I would just suck this up with a straw
That's all tender and it's delicate beautiful steamed egg
If it's like an anime princess. good never made that comparison before. this is a dumpling made with the leeks and the rice
Skin OMG. It's like Spider-Man stick it to the plate we gotta get spidey off
Mm-Hmm. That's like somebody you'll find in a typical dim sum place. fried dumplings
Mm-Hmm, oh
That's delicious. The skin is just paper thin crispy like not oily at all
Well this is one of the best things I have so far. This is something
I don't usually like a turnip cake and I know weird with a lot of people like this. I just don't like it
And this has just changed my entire impression of turnip cakes your seafood flavoring from that turnip egg
That's making me really happy right now as if I could be any happier already something. You don't see a lot for breakfast
Mapo Tofu, but hey, I'm an equal opportunity food lover valued a state where people professionals. I don't care
It's actually quite difficult to make mapo tofu the right way for not an authentic sitar restaurant where you're in China
But this mapa tofu is not the best ever happen. It's certainly not that and I love stir fried egg noodles
I love it. Are you to the breakfast lunch dinner snacks after the midnight snacks
They knock that out of the park that ball. It's far far away. Oh my goodness that's good. the egg noodles are tender
They're eggy because they're scrambled eggs in here
Stir-fried and flavor to perfection. finally something that looks that's really fun to put a little fried flour roll. oh did u hear it crack?
it's good, but it needs some sort of dippin sauce
It's excellent. the layers are so thin
In our country if there were some condensed milk here it would be excellent. So here I put the ingredients inside my bowl whatever I want
oh love these mushrooms
Add little raw onions. Cilantro of course
Noodle soup time. I love it when buffets have pho. I'm convinced. There is a part of my body
That is run exclusively on pho and without pho, I just didn't complete
Most of its good my only complaint is didn't have like thinly sliced beef links
Judge me all you want, but I like siracha on my noodle soup accept me for who I have people
That hits the spot. I mean, I don't know what spot is hitting, but it's hitting some spot
Whenever I get a bowl of pho, I kind of stop until I finished all the soup. It just entrances me
And I love now it. Now I feel all warm and tingly. I think it's time for some dessert
Okay, granted this is more like a pastry plate than a dessert plate, but you know pot-a-to pot-ah-to
I just couldn't resist when they were bringing out these
Super thin pancake. These pancakes look like they've been counting their calories - look how thin they are. Some blueberry jam
Hello, Mr. Fluffy. This is light and airy slightly crispy on one side
That is a great pancake. This is so crispy do you guys see this?
This is like puffin white sugar powder, oh, up in the air. Oh yum
Mmm. Oh
I think this just almost gave me an out of body experience. That is just heavenly. The people watching this right now in France is probably laughing at me
But you know what, let me be the fool because this is fantastic. Oh
Oh wow. Do I have that glazed over look in my eyes yet? I am done and
I am happy, and apparently I'm kind of drunk on food right now. This buffet is, in short, pretty incredible. In terms of food quality, I give this place a solid 5 out of 5. In terms of selection,
I'll give it 4.5 out of 5. Flavour - most of everything I've had tasted exceptional
I'll give them 4 out of 5. I think what this place does better than any other buffet
I've been to is the service. Every time I came back not only was my dirty plates taken away my silverware was changed, my
napkin was refolded for me, and there's constantly people walking around not being overly invasive
but just just spotting what you might need and bringing it to you like I was eating my eggs and all of a sudden
somebody brings me salt and pepper shakers.
I went to the juice bar looking for watermelon juice.
There wasn't any there, but the staff near me told me to wait and when they brought it out, he poured me a glass.
I mean, this is definitely the most luxurious buffet experience
I've ever had and a couple of things I wish this buffet had was that I wish they actually had more
Korean dishes on the buffet. There's a lot of Dim sum and Chinese stuff. Oh also,
I wish they had a dessert bar for breakfast
Come on, ice cream is good any time of today, and normally I hate stuff like scrambled eggs and bacon and sausage
But here they transform the eggs and into a work of art. So, for the price tag of fifty-nine thousand won,
I feel like this buffet is something that you should experience
If you are ever in Seoul.
