Seafood Buffet

On the day of our departure, we had lunch buffet at a seafood restaurant. As I have mentioned before, we rarely had seafood since Korea doesn't have much aquatic resources. Our local tour guide claims that their they don't have plenty of fish farms or fishing grounds in their oceans. I guess that explains why seafood is not commonly involved in traditional Korean cuisines. So it was no surprise that the restaurant served lots of Japanese and Chinese dishes like sushi, tempura seafood fried rice and fish fillet in black bean sauce. They even served western-inspired dishes like the spicy spaghetti with shrimp and mussels.

But of course, you can always expect more in a buffet. It's not all about seafood. They also had Chinese dumplings, Japanese cold noodles, Miso soup, deep fried chili crab and the ever-popular Korean Bulgogi. This buffet was a great way to end our tour since I was able to experience a variety of dishes from different cultures all under one roof. It's just a shame that the restaurant ran out of certain dishes quickly since there was another tour group, which ate along with us. But even if it took the crew a long while to refill the food, the buffet still left me very satisfied.
