The buffet is a favorite dining gathering for Taiwanese people, and the Far Eastern Café buffet restaurant located on the sixth floor of the Far Eastern Shangri-La in Taipei offers a rich and diverse selection of delicacies from around the world. 🤤

From November 1, 2024, to January 2, 2025, they are launching the "Sea and Land Feast," featuring Australian beef and various seafood to create a rich array of dishes. 🙌🏻 Highlights include freshly carved grilled Australian beef, Italian tomato chicken scallops, Sicilian seafood salad, and South Asian-style Thai tamarind fried shrimp. Notably, they also offer unlimited ingredients from Din Tai Fung! 😋

As for the sashimi, it is freshly cut upon order, but you cannot choose your preferred cuts, which is a bit unfortunate. 🥲

The grilled beef brisket at the charcoal grill station was my favorite; the meat was very tender and flavorful. However, the squid rings were quite disappointing; the tentacles were very burnt, overcooked, and extremely tough to eat. 🥲

Regarding Din Tai Fung offerings, they provided golden lava buns and shrimp and chive dumplings today. The golden lava buns were delicious and very hot, but the shrimp and chive dumplings were precooked and just reheated upon order, which affected their texture negatively. 🥲

There is a super wide variety of desserts, and the flavors were decent. 😌

To summarize:

This time, I used a coupon bought during the Double Eleven sale, costing about 1,100 NTD per person. However, without the coupon, I feel a bit disappointed when considering the regular price. 😑
