Buffet Bonanza

There’s an inconspicuous glass jar of these poofy crunchy biscuits right next to the ice cream cones that’s totally untouched. Everyone probably didn’t know what was inside either. Since it’s a buffet, just try everything right?

Turns out it’s a hollow cracker with a thin chocolate cinnamon layer inside. It’s super crunchy and a perfect vessel for scoops of ice cream. I think this was the BEST item available at Sky22’s buffet dinner spread, and went back for seconds.

Four different flavours - chocolate, cookies & cream, yam, and vanilla for you to mix it up any way you want. I didn’t quite like the yam, but the chocolate and cookies & cream were a lovely combination. There’s a handful of topping choices - pumpkin seeds, almonds, dried fruits. You can have these in a cup, a cone or crunchy hollow biscuits. I recommend scooping your ice cream in a cup and mixing in your favourite toppings before stuffing them into the biscuit - pure deliciousness!

Clockwise, from leftmost: hotteok, gyeranbbang, strawberry shortcake, matcha Creme brûlée

Most of the dessert section was untouched the whole time we were there. Not just by the patrons, but also by the restaurant staff. This meant that all the desserts had been out for a while and no longer warm (for the hotteok and gyeranbbang).

I had high expectations for hotteok after coming back from Seoul, and the hotteok here was just terrible. Aside from being cold, the pancake skin was thick, dense, and doughy with nary a hint of crispiness. The filling was dry cinnamon powder, and there was no warm gooey honey. Complete disappointment.

Not sure what the gyeranbbang is but it tastes so bad as it’s stone cold.

Probably the only things you should use your calories on are the desserts that are meant to be eaten cold - both the strawberry shortcake and matcha Creme brûlée are found in the chiller section.
