長榮桂冠酒店-咖啡廳

Thanks Fooday🥳 for making me want to try more different foods🍽
🚩Geographical location🧭
1F, Evergreen Laurel Hotel Building, located at the intersection of Taiwan Avenue Section 2 and Hankou Road Section 1, Xitun District, Taichung City

🪑About the overall atmosphere🎡
After entering the door on the first floor, turn right and you will reach the coffee shop. The whole space is not big, it is a Buffet style. It is roughly divided into dessert area, beverage area, fruit area and staple food area, all surrounding the seats; there are about 120 seats. The toilet is next to the counter, so you have to go out a little early to see it. Some meals are cooked to order. You have to put the folder with the table number on it into the basket, and the service staff will bring it to the table after the meal is made.

💰The part about price💰
Holiday lunch is open from 12:00-14:00, $950 per adult, $580 for children, and $250 for infants

🍴About the meal☕
There were not as many dishes as expected, and some of the fresh-to-order items were quite slow and were even canceled (?) but the tongs were sent back. The drinks section comes standard with two coffee machines, as well as beer, cola, winter melon milk tea, and watermelon juice. The assorted fried rice is pretty good, with distinct grains. The duck is cooked to order and finally arrived after a long wait. The meat is wrapped in slightly thicker dough and is still juicy until the last bite. The self-service hot beef soup on the side is also quite good, but the soup is replenished a bit slowly. The freshly grilled red shrimp is much more delicious than the frozen white shrimp, and the crispy pumpkin soup is very rich. The braised beef brisket was a little too spicy, and I regretted eating too much at first. Overall, there really aren't many choices, so you can eat here and there and that's pretty much it.

🤨Conclusion♥
As far as hotel-level buffets are concerned, this cafe may be more suitable for afternoon tea. Due to space problems, the dishes cannot be displayed too much, but the price is quite high. If it's a holiday lunch, I probably won't come back unless there's a special offer.
