🎖️ Ritz Carlton Breakfast Buffet in Shenzhen 🎖️
Thanks to a colleague, today I came to the five-star hotel in Shenzhen - the Ritz Carlton Hotel, to enjoy an expensive breakfast.
Because Marriott members cannot enjoy member breakfast and lounge access at the Ritz Carlton, this meal is basically a treat from him. Otherwise, the listed price would be 214 RMB. Since he tested positive and is resting in the room, I’m here to eat on his behalf. 😃
The Shenzhen Ritz Carlton is located in the Futian CBD, and the hotel’s representative symbol is a lion, so you can see lion sculptures all over the hotel/restaurant, along with cute little dolls.
The food is mainly made-to-order, with a wide variety of choices, including Indian-style curry. I especially recommend their eggs, which are freshly made. There’s a little menu on the side where you can customize your desired toppings. I ordered a Eggs Benedict and scrambled eggs; the Eggs Benedict was quite tasty, although not as good as the one at the Tokyo Ritz. The scrambled eggs were just right, not too dry or too wet, with a perfect texture.
The red oil wontons were also quite good, with a numbing spice that likely comes from the Sichuan peppercorns. There’s also a whole display of freshly squeezed juices, in green, red, and yellow, so there’s plenty to choose from.
Overall, the service is quite good, and the variety and deliciousness of the food are high. If you come to Shenzhen, I recommend choosing the Ritz Carlton; you won't be disappointed!
🎉Enjoy a feast without spending a thousand dollars!🎉
🎉Sashimi, grilled steak, and unlimited red wine!🎉
In a semi-open kitchen environment, we have planned cuisine zones from various countries, offering a rich variety of exquisite dishes to satisfy our taste buds. 👏
The Japanese cuisine area and Asian cuisine in the restaurant are particularly impressive. There is also a healthy high-fiber vegetable and fruit salad area prepared for those who eat out, along with a freshly made dessert area. The ice cream section and beverage area, featuring unlimited red and white wine, will surely drive wine lovers wild! 😝
Japanese Cuisine Area:
A variety of sushi and flower sushi options are available, along with freshly rolled hand rolls and assorted cold dishes. What I love most about this area is the salmon sashimi, with its rich marbling that makes you want to keep eating. 😋
Fried and Grilled Area:
This area features the fish collar loved by adults, and tempura shrimp and karaage chicken that children adore. The grilled pork ribs are incredibly fragrant, making them the first choice for bone-in meat lovers. 👍
Asian Cuisine Area:
The spicy little lobsters in this area, while tasty, have a powdery feel to the shrimp meat; a taste test is still worth it. 😆 Other delicious options include crispy shrimp, kimchi fried pork, and freshly brewed beef soup... among them, the Cantonese style fried noodles and white wine mussels are quite good! ☺️
Teppanyaki Area:
This area features freshly grilled steaks, chicken thigh steaks, and tomahawk pork chops, which are considered the hottest section here. The beef steak is styled like a Taiwanese steak, the chicken thigh steak is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, while the tomahawk pork is very fragrant. Those who love Taiwanese steak must not miss it! 🤤
Beverage, Dessert, and Fruit Area:
There are about five varieties of fresh fruit and a traditional shaved ice topping area that is definitely beloved by mature adults. Häagen-Dazs, which young people prefer, is also present, but with only four flavors. Despite this, the traditional desserts next to it, such as Xiaomei ice cream and passion fruit ice, can still fill the emptiness for those craving sweets. 😆
The drink options include fresh juices and tea, and of course, joyful fizzy drinks are also available. 🙌🏻
In summary:
The variety seems to be quite enough, and the free three-hour parking while dining is really nice, eliminating the hassle of finding a parking spot. Additionally, buying a ticket for less than 800 NT dollars feels like a great deal! 😘 Dining during weekdays means no crowded crowds, allowing you to enjoy a relaxed and easygoing atmosphere when picking up your meals. 👏

This is a very famous Buffet restaurant in Yongkang, Tainan, located in Ali Hai inside Guitian Hotel. It is very difficult to make a reservation at this restaurant. You usually have to make a reservation a week in advance to have a better chance. The lunch period is a little cheaper than the dinner period, so it is even more difficult to make a reservation for holiday lunch.
The meals inside can be considered a dazzling array, ranging from various fried foods, sweet or spicy, to sashimi and crab legs, to siomai, soup, and barbecue. The variety is quite rich. As for the dessert section, there is also a whole refrigerated cabinet of different desserts, from cakes to panna cotta. There are also fresh soufflés on site. As for ice cream, there is Haagen-Dazs and another one that is quite expensive, but I forgot what brand it is.
In addition, his ski crab legs are freshly grilled and you have to queue up to get them. How many you get at a time depends on the mood of the waiter. When there are many people, he will probably give you two ski crab legs at a time, but If you go when there are few people, he might give you four or five. Also recommended are sashimi such as tuna, the parts used are okay, there are no tendons and it is not too oily. Another recommendation is the freshly fried fried shrimp. This is also a meal that requires queuing up, but it tastes very crispy. It goes perfectly with mashed radish and soy sauce, but you have to pay attention to the fact that its noodles are actually It's quite thick and makes you feel full, so you won't be able to eat too much. But there is another thing that I don’t recommend very much, that is, their steamed sea urchin egg uses only a small amount of sea urchin. It tastes like a new smell, and it doesn’t have the sweetness that sea urchin should have. I think this is the biggest failure of the whole store. .
Overall, the freshness of the ingredients is pretty good. Excluding the sea urchin steamed egg, it should be highly recommended.
It was my first time to try the Japanese all-you-can-eat buffet under the Xibin Group. I chose Xuji Tianmu store as my first store visit experience. The restaurant is located on the 5th floor of Tianmu Daye Takashimaya. There is a parking lot for convenient parking. You can reach it directly by taking the escalator or elevator. It can only be said that Xuji is also a very popular all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant in recent years. It is very crowded no matter on weekdays or holidays. You must make an online reservation and pay a deposit first!
Here are Xuji’s dining times and weekend and holiday pricing (prices increased after 8/12)
⍟ Weekdays Monday to Friday
⏐Lunch 11:30 ~ 14:00 $1390⏐
⏐Lunch 14:30 ~ 16:30 $1090⏐
⏐Dinner 17:30 ~ 21:00 $1690⏐
⍟ Weekends and holidays
⏐Lunch 11:30 ~ 14:00 $1690⏐
⏐Lunch 14:30 ~ 16:30 $1390⏐
⏐Dinner 17:30 ~ 21:30 $1990⏐
Charges are different on weekdays/holidays and for each meal period, divided into lunch/lunch/dinner.
The meal time for lunch is 2.5 hours, the afternoon tea is 2 hours, and the meal time for dinner is 3.5-4 hours. I personally think that the two and a half hours for lunch on weekdays is just right, and the CP value is also the highest, although the lunch items are better than those for dinner. There is a little less (such as beef tongue), but it has far more high-end ingredients than afternoon tea (I heard that there are no fried scallops in afternoon tea!!), and the two and a half hours of lunch can be eaten slowly and leisurely, without so much I had to queue up to get a lot of food.
There will be two queues when entering. First, queue from the right to check in and collect the tickets, then queue from the seat side to enter and take your seats in order. The entire admission process is very smooth. If your friends come later, it doesn’t matter, you can enter first. Sit on the spot, and friends who come later can just report their table number and the on-site staff will register and take them to their seats👌
✏️ Environment and service evaluation
The circulation plan of Tianmu Xuji store is relatively good after checking online. After actually dining, I felt that the overall circulation of food is very comfortable. The space between each area is very spacious. Even if there are queues in some areas, there will be no circulation. Fighting with each other or blocking the road. Moreover, the dining table environment is also very comfortable, and the service staff will come to clear the table from time to time. Their attitude is friendly and I am very satisfied.
✏️ Meal review
Sushi (nigiri sushi section):
This area is full of nigiri sushi made freshly by the chef, including sakura sea bream, wagyu beef, salmon belly, yellowtail, crab paste, scallops and sole fin. You can choose three kinds of sushi at one time. You can choose repeatedly. It doesn’t matter. I chose scallops, salmon and For sea bream, the chef will add different seasonings to each different nigiri sushi. The visual and taste sensations are different and diverse. I feel that it is not inferior to the a la carte sushi outside. I have to queue up multiple times to enjoy it.
Personally recommend the "Scallop and Sea Urchin Burger"
Super large raw food-grade scallops, cut in the middle and added with sea urchin, and then wrapped with seaweed grilled on site, taste very refreshing and satisfying, and there is no fishy smell at all!
Tips for ordering: You can ask the chef not to add vinegar rice. I think the scallop and sea urchin burger without vinegar rice is more refreshing and delicious. (Update: The chef will suggest you eat the version with vinegar rice first. You can just say that you have eaten it before and want to try the burger without vinegar rice. Maybe too many people have told the chef not to add vinegar rice recently. (XD)
Shengsheng (raw seafood area):
Xuji's sashimi all tastes fresh, the salmon and tuna are of a very high standard, and the fat distribution is also very good. The fresh snow crab legs are very big. Each leg feels very long, and the meat is quite plump. You can taste the fresh and sweet taste of the crab legs without excessive cooking. I personally don’t know much about eating crabs, but I can tell it’s really fresh.
Xun Chui (grilled steak and roasted pork ribs):
The grilled steak and pork ribs are freshly cut by the chef, and you can specify how many slices you want at one time. The grilled steak is pretty good. The meat is pink when cut and is not overcooked. The chef is also very considerate in trimming off the fatter parts, making it taste tender and delicious. I feel a little disappointed with the pork ribs. The barbecue sauce was not very flavourful, and the pork and ribs did not have the refreshing feeling of peeling off as soon as they were eaten, and it felt not that complete.
Lizuo (drink bar):
As soon as you enter the door, you can see the beverage area, which offers KIRIN Ichiban draft beer, 4 types of Savat special blends, hot and cold drinks and a variety of freshly squeezed juices. In addition, there are some special pure liquors such as Dassai and other sake. If you don’t want to spend extra money, I suggest you just order the 4 cocktails listed on the brand! My personal favorite is Yamabuki YAMABUKI, which is based on plum wine. The aroma of plum wine tastes sweet and is perfect to enjoy with the seafood of Asahi!
Heyang (fried food area):
There are many choices in the fried food section, but in order to avoid eating too much fried food and making me full, I only took the fried shrimp that is most recommended on the Internet. The coating of the fried shrimp is not too thick, it is fried very crispy, and the shrimp meat is also delicious. Quite big, tender and juicy.
Yingzhi (grilled food area):
I highly recommend the BBQ beef (grilled pork belly) in the grilled food area. It is very tender, rich in fat, and has a full roasted aroma. Highly recommended! The middle section of the charcoal grilled chicken wings is also very good. The charred skin and soft and tender chicken are really delicious.
Sauce cooking (freshly cooked soup area):
There are two freshly cooked seafood soups on site: crab leg miso soup and clam consommé. I enjoyed the clam consommé. The three oversized clams were very delicious and the soup was also very sweet. It can be used as a soup to change the taste during a break. Enjoy, I really like it!
Ice cream area:
Xuji's ice cream is homemade and advertises no added emulsifiers. I think it tastes more natural than some famous brands. I ate almond oatmeal and matcha. The almond oatmeal is really like pureed oatmeal. Every time You can taste the solid texture of oats and the full flavor of almonds in your mouth. Personally, I think it’s amazing, but I’m still pleasantly surprised. If you don’t reject the almond flavor, you can give it a try. Matcha is quite satisfactory. I also tried a few chocolate and caramel milk tea flavors. The chocolate is not too sweet. The caramel milk tea has a strong tea aroma and is sweet but not greasy. This flavor should be more acceptable. , recommended to everyone.
✏️Overall evaluation
Xuji really provides a lot of exquisite high-end ingredients to enjoy. The circulation plan of Tianmu store is also very comfortable. The overall dining experience is quite good. However, as I get older, I really can’t stuff so much food at once. I can only say that I can eat it. The full buffet is more suitable for big eaters. If you have a small appetite, you can try the weekday price. During this meal, there were a lot of dishes that I skipped because of my appetite, so I’ll leave it to others to evaluate!

I really think their "Welfare Classic Salt Baked Chicken" is delicious. I suddenly discovered it one time and would eat it when I came to eat later. I kept calling it Drunken Chicken because it reminded me of the Drunken Chicken made by my grandma. I only read his name carefully after eating it for the first time. Although I usually eat a lot of chicken, I still wanted to eat it when I saw it.
Record the must-eats: Dice Beef (their Dice Beef is always delicious no matter how many times you eat it and won’t be hard to bite) Fried shrimp, salmon sashimi (it depends on your luck when it comes to oil) Pastry soup (family’s love) Caramel pudding , raw chocolate, big mouthful of pork ribs (spiced pork ribs), freshly blanched fish fillet and beef soup (I forgot to eat it this time, but I tasted it one time and liked it)
Special commendation for the dice beef. I don’t eat it at all outside, but the ones they have are very tender! The oiliness of sashimi salmon really depends on luck. Sometimes the oiliness is really good and you can eat a lot. In the dessert area, I also saw freshly baked chicken cakes with ingredients (popular milk king, pearl milk tea), which were very attractive and tasted just so-so. I took some photos in the dessert area but for some reason I couldn’t use them🥲Suddenly I discovered that their home is actually a Haagen-Dazs ! And it’s my favorite taste….
The happiest thing is that I went to have afternoon tea on 7/20 and this time I had all-you-can-eat mangoes🥹🥭The mangoes that don’t need to be peeled are the most delicious~~~
Overall, I still think there are quite a lot of delicious things.
Although I have eaten it many times, I am not impressed.
But suddenly I want to eat all you can to satisfy your expectations.
I really don’t eat much and the price is not too distressing either.
This meal is weekday dinner 17:30-21:00
💰$968+10%

This Mingchu Parkway restaurant is located on the first floor of Cunque International Hotel
After entering, you can check in at the counter and take your seat.
Meals include shumai cooked food, Japanese sashimi nigiri, pizza beef ribs, seafood cold cuts, freshly cooked beef soup, desserts, drinks and ice cream are also included.
Some of them are more memorable
🌟I eat a lot of salmon sashimi and nigiri sushi
The freshness of the sashimi is good
The rice of nigiri sushi is soft and sticky.
But the speed of replenishing meals is very fast
There is no chance of not being able to get food at all
🌟Freshly cooked beef soup is delicious
The soup is very sweet and the beef is tender.
With the addition of shredded ginger and scallions to remove the fishy smell, this bowl is highly rated by everyone👍
🌟The freshly cut beef is quite tender
Paired with a sauce that looks like steak sauce, this is also good
🌟Cold dish of white shrimp
The shrimps taste quite fresh, and the meat is elastic and elastic. I have eaten several of them.
I didn’t eat any other meals that were particularly impressive.
We checked the reviews before coming to dine.
One-star negative reviews usually say that there is no service staff to collect the plates, the food is unpalatable, there are flies flying in the restaurant, and the tables are very close together.
After actually dining here, I feel
Overall, I think it's not very good.
But one star rating is a bit too much
But to be honest, the price is not cheap.
At this price, the CP is not worth it.
If there is a discounted price for housing, you can try it out.
Share this buffet restaurant - Far East CAFÉ. It is located on the sixth floor of Far East Shangri-La in Taipei. This time we had a meal on a weekday afternoon, and it was almost full.
My personal favorite is its desserts, sashimi and Indian food! I can share a few dishes!
Dessert area
-Fruit Fresh Cream Cake-The sponge cake is quite average, the fresh cream is thick and easy to get greasy, at least there are a lot of fruits inside and they are fresh fruits.
indian area
-Indian spice balls-the outer shell is crispy, and the inside is filled with something crunchy like peanuts. The sauce, whether it is vanilla sauce, yogurt sauce or rooibos sauce, is all good! Indian pickles are spicy
-Indian Spiced Milk Tea-5 points of sweetness but not greasy, delicious spice flavor!
Raw and cold Japanese area
Generally speaking, there are no outstanding dishes. The afternoon tea has a wide range of items and is of good quality. If the price is favorable, it is worth a return visit!
What I am sharing this time is the hotel breakfast series, because for people who travel, hotel breakfast will naturally become one of the three meals during the trip. So sharing hotel breakfast helps netizens decide whether the hotel’s breakfast is worth getting up early to eat? If it's not worth eating, then you can go out and look for more delicious food.
Super hotel is a well-known hotel chain brand in Japan, with branches in major cities. The hotel we stayed at was Gotemba 2, which is very close to the Gotemba outlet. Whether you want to go shopping at the outlet the next morning after checking in, or want to rest nearby after shopping all day, this hotel is very suitable.
Next, let’s talk about breakfast. There are more types to choose from among affordable chain hotels. There are everything from Western-style bread to Japanese-style natto bibimbap and egg bibimbap. There are also yam puree and various side dishes. Overall, there are more Japanese elements. But the taste is all very ordinary. It’s not terrible but it’s not particularly delicious either. But if you want to experience Japanese breakfast, you can still get up early and eat it, because there are no breakfast restaurants in Japan😆
In addition, the hotel provides unlimited milk, which is good for an affordable hotel.
Conclusion: Edible!

Had dinner at the same branch last October
I really like this place (seating, atmosphere, food)
This is my second time to have afternoon tea.
The first time in Xinyi store for a long time is no longer available
There are eight districts in total
Fenghaihai, Xunqiaoyuan, Dakuidi, Hepanhu, Zhiqiu, Jingshan, Changyinchuan, Tiantian
I always thought their signs were so cute
I still recommend a few of their dishes after eating there several times.
·Salmon sashimi should be slightly oily
·Grilled nigiri sushi, salmon, scallop, flounder Like
·Teppanyaki prawns beef
·Freshly cut pork ribs and steaks
·Fried shrimp is super delicious. Everyone took a lot of it at first
·Duck nigiri sushi is delicious. You can take some.
·Crispy corn soup. The soup doesn’t give too much and the crispy skin is perfect.
·Soufflé is baked just right and not too sweet
·Baked pudding is a bit sweet but I love it
·70% raw chocolate, very rich and delicious
(You can almost eat all the above two Xibin series when you are full)
I still didn’t get the Hong Kong-style series this time. I don’t know why.
I also eat less soup.
The fruit of this season is Aiwen Mango 🥭 replenishes quickly
I think two hours for afternoon tea is a bit rushed.
But the cp value is indeed a little higher
Since I’ve eaten it before, I’ll just take what I like.
Basically just take whatever you like
Can't chat for two hours
The queue time will also be longer in the first round.
But this view is really good
Overall I quite like it

(Register on the first floor and then go upstairs. It is recommended to come early to queue up for admission)
·Weekend price $1390+10%
·A deposit of $500/person is required when making a reservation
