Jeju Dream Tower, where over 80% of guests are foreign, is enhancing its food and beverage offerings. The resort is expanding its menu to include popular Korean dishes, such as Jeju black pork and silver cutlassfish, as well as Korean beef, crab, and dombe meat, to appeal to both domestic and international tourists.
Lotte Tour Development announced on September 16 that it has completely revamped the buffet 'Grand Kitchen' at the Grand Hyatt Jeju within the Jeju Dream Tower, centering the menu around K-Food.
The focus of this overhaul is to strengthen Korean cuisine and local Jeju delicacies. The menu has been designed to allow visitors to experience local dishes alongside popular Korean foods familiar to foreign tourists.
Signature dishes include grilled Jeju black pork belly, premium-grade Korean beef sirloin, fried ribs, LA galbi, and Jeju's traditional dombe meat.
The seafood selection has also been diversified, featuring grilled silver cutlassfish, snow crab with soy sauce and seasoned crab, abalone sashimi, and bibimbap. Popular Korean dishes such as various jeon (Korean pancakes), sundae (blood sausage), and fried chicken are also available.
Grilled freshwater eel is prepared live by chefs at the kitchen station. Desserts reflect Korean and Jeju flavors, including traditional yakgwa (honey cookies), Jeju carrot cake, and Hallabong scones.
The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Kim Young-min, who previously served as the head chef at the Fontana buffet restaurant in the Wynn Palace in Macau. With over 20 years of experience, Chef Kim oversees a team of more than 30 chefs managing seven stations, including Korean hot food, grill, and seafood.
A representative from Lotte Tour Development stated, “We have structured the menu to allow guests to enjoy representative Jeju dishes like black pork and grilled silver cutlassfish, as well as popular Korean foods all in one place. We also offer unlimited access to high-quality ingredients such as Korean beef sirloin, snow crab, and abalone sashimi.”
