Indian Food Festival

Millennium Hilton Seoul, central Seoul

From Nov. 15 to 21

Cafe 395 guests will be treated to a cornucopia of Indian delights in addition to Cafe 395’s regular buffet offerings, prepared by the highly acclaimed and accomplished Chef Ganga Ram. With his illustrious over three-decade career, Chef Ram will introduce Rajasthan-style Indian food to guests.

The Indian state of Rajasthan is known for its unique cooking styles that have been influenced by its extreme climate conditions, so the use of dried lentils, beans, milk and buttermilk is common. One signature Rajasthani dish, Dal Baati Churma (lentil curry with hard wheat rolls) has garnered international popularity among foodies. Cafe 395’s impressive buffet, including the Indian dishes, is priced at 94,000 won ($80.84) per person at lunchtime and 99,000 won per person at dinnertime.

From Dec. 8

Jeju Air will have a new code-share flight in between Incheon and the Gold Coast, three times a week. In partnership with Jetstar Airways, Jeju Air will have the new routes available.

Turkey to go

Grand Hilton Seoul, northwestern Seoul

Through Dec. 31

The Grand Hilton Seoul presents “Turkey to go” and the “Thanksgiving gala Dinner” as to-go products with roasted turkey cooked by hotel chefs ahead of American Thanksgiving in November. Roasted turkey will be sold until Dec. 31 at the premium bakery, Alpine Deli, on the hotel’s LL floor. Since the turkey itself is about 6 kilograms (13 pounds), about 10 times bigger than chicken, the chefs have put a lot of effort into cooking it. The roasted turkey comes with side menu items such as mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, brussels sprouts and stuffing, and it will feed up to eight people. Reservations are required at least two days in advance, and the price is 250,000 won.

In addition, the hotel will hold a Thanksgiving gala dinner on Thursday, Nov. 28. Thanksgiving specialties such as prime rib steak and roast turkey will be served along with over 100 existing buffet items including Korean, Western and Japanese cuisine.
