The favorite Yakumi weekend buffet revamps its menu line up, plus more interactive live stations
Solaire Resort & Casino’s Yakumi features the kaizen concept in its revamped weekend offers with the new Saturday All-You-Can-Eat buffet and refreshed Sunday Brunch, to provide its patrons a wider taste of Japan. The weekend feasts inject new life to its menu and offers a more vibrant list of Japanese delicacies.
Starting October 14, the much-loved Brunch Buffet now moves to Sundays but will continue to make your mouth water as you watch Japanese staples be prepared before your eyes. A private room is dedicated to creating crisp and evenly coated tempuras, and chawanmushi, a Japanese steamed egg dish with savory ingredients that resembles flan or panna cotta both physically and texture-wise. Another is for pan-fried dishes such as its perfectly golden brown gyozas and savory Okonomiyaki, as well as servings of fried rice and sautéed vegetables. It’s also likely that you’ll stop in your tracks to watch the Japanese chefs assemble the highly difficult to master sushi at another station. If you’re too excited and eager to sit and eat, a roving sashimi trolley will keep your eyes and plate occupied as a chef precisely slices your serving fresh from a whole tuna. Hear the crackle of hot charcoal and see the art of Robatayaki in action at its designated station while it grills skewers of various vegetables, as well as meats ranging from chicken parts to USDA beef portions, squid to Blue Marlin chunks coated in teriyaki sauce.
Although kaizen calls for improvement, there are some that don’t require any necessary touch ups. In the world of broths and noodles, Japan takes the lead with its traditional and flavorful options. Get up close and personal with its Shoyu, Miso, Tonkotsu and Tantanmen ramens with a choice between Soba, Udon or Somen noodles, allowing you to enjoy each’s display of their iconic differences nestled in a wide spectrum of silken warmth.
On the other hand, improvement doesn’t necessarily mean edit. Yakumi’s extensive list of desserts sees another popular staple added to its list. Mochi, a Japanese rice cake that’s often filled with sweet red bean paste sees its introduction with 3 unexpected variants. Green tea, apple and peach mochis will now be part of the 3-station spread of fresh fruits, delectable confectionaries, frozen treats and cream-based afters.
