Three Must-Try Highlights: Strawberry Heaven
1. Heart-Fluttering Variety of Strawberry Sweets
Fifteen types of strawberry sweets grace the buffet table. The lineup ranges from perennial favorites like "Strawberry and Pistachio Tart" to creative offerings such as "Strawberry Crème Brûlée" and "Strawberry and Sparkling Wine Jelly." Among these, don't miss the pastry chef's recommended "Strawberry Shortcake." Experience the harmony of fluffy, tender sponge cake, light whipped cream, and fresh strawberries.
2. Satisfying Savory Dishes That Showcase Strawberries in New Ways
The buffet offers more than sweets—savory dishes ensure guests can enjoy the experience as a full meal. Chilled dishes include spring-inspired items like "Cherry-Scented Strawberry Jam and Cream Cheese Sandwich" and "Strawberry Soup" served with yogurt cream. Hot dishes feature hearty options such as "Beef Stewed in Red Wine" and "Clam Chowder" with a textural accent of lotus root.
3. Live Kitchen Entertainment: Applause's Signature Experience
The essence of a great buffet lies in enjoying freshly prepared dishes. At the live kitchen, chefs carve juicy "Roast Pork" right before your eyes. The meat's umami is enhanced by a "Berry Gastrique Sauce" with a bright strawberry tang. Additionally, warm "Strawberry Pudding" offers a fluffy texture with a sweet-tart strawberry flavor. Enjoy the lively presentation along with the taste of just-made dishes.
