Korean culture has taken us by storm! From sobbing on heartbreaking K-dramas to listening to the headbanging tunes of K-pop, we can’t get enough of Korean culture. We are so fascinated by this culture that people from all over the world have united for their love of K-pop and K-drama through fan clubs. You say the word ‘BTS’ in a group of friends and a heated discussion will immediately erupt. The boom of K-drama and K-pop in the mainstream media has made Indians fall in love with Korean food! Watching saliva-worthy Korean food on TV has made us curious about Korean cuisine and we want to try the food of this beautiful country! If you are a fan of Korean food or you are just curious about what it is like, then head to Crowne Plaza Greater Noida’s special food festival “Culinary Wonders of Korean Cuisine”.
With ex-pat Korean chefs Nam Yeon Hwang and Joon Seok Park at the helm of the effort, this food festival aims to bring authentic Korean flavors to the table. Korean Buffet focused on giving a taste of Korea to India. From a variety of Korean side salads to main course dishes that we’ve all heard about thanks to Korean entertainment entities, the buffet spread was quite lavish!

O mind
Since meats and poultry are heavily used in Korean cuisine, we started our meal with some Korean barbecue from the live counter; There were tenderloin, pork and chicken. Then, we moved on to the buffet where we ate Korean fried chicken, seaweed soup, sticky rice and Korean pan-fried fish. Later, we also enjoyed a bowl full of ramen, which is probably one of the most popular Korean dishes in the world. After a hearty meal, we relished a variety of Korean desserts that had the signature sweet and spicy essence.
