June 9-18: Millennium Seoul Hilton’s flagship international buffet and all-day dining restaurant, Cafe 395, is pleased to welcome two guest chefs from Singapore, courtesy of the Orchard Hotel in Singapore.
The chefs will introduce Hokkien-style food to Cafe 395. Hokkien cuisine is one of China’s eight major cuisines. Early Chinese immigrants from Fujian Province moved to Singapore and Malaysia and brought their cooking traditions with them, which merged into Hokkien-style food. Singapore is world-renowned for its vibrant and exciting cuisine, which draws influences from its diverse surrounding countries. Some of the most exciting dishes from the two guest chefs will be Black Pepper Crab, Chilli Crab, Katong Laksa, Bak Kut Teh, Chicken Rice, Deep-Fried Pork Balls, Assorted Satay, and Rojak.
Don’t miss this opportunity to try Hokkien cuisine! The buffet is priced at 91,000 won per person.

Fridays: Sheraton Seoul D Cube City Hotel is introducing “Devil’s Chicken” at the outdoor Garden Terrace restaurant, where guests can enjoy crispy chicken with five special dipping sauces and salad bar in a semi-buffet style.

Together with Devil’s Chicken, guests can enjoy unlimited fresh salads, side dishes like fried potatoes, mashed potatoes and assorted sausages, desserts and unlimited beer for an additional cost.
Devil’s Chicken is available every Friday evening from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the outdoor Garden Terrace, located on the eighth floor of the hotel. The price for a chicken is 20,000 won ($16.80) and the salad bar is 10,000 won per person (including 10 percent VAT).
