In South Korea, September is a month of celebration as this is when they hold a festival in honor of their harvest season.<\/p>\n

Families get together for days to celebrate the Korean traditional occasion of Chuseok, originally known as \u201changawi,\u201d meaning “the great middle of autumn” in archaic Korean. It is one of the three major holidays of their country and a time for giving thanks to their ancestors for the year\u2019s harvest.

\"Aside<\/a>
Aside from Korean favorites such as beef bulgogi and kalbi, spicy squid is also among the dishes featured in Kili Caf\u00e9\u2019s Tour of Asia Sunday dinner buffet Korean station. (Frauleine S. Villanueva)<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nIn observance of this, Hyatt\u2019s Kili Caf\u00e9 & Terrace is featuring a Korean station at their Tour of Asia Sunday dinner buffet this month.<\/p>\n

Korean favorites such as beef bulgogi and kalbi are among the highlights of the menu. However, unlike the common beef bulgogi, Kili Caf\u00e9 will be serving it in the traditional Korean way.<\/p>\n

Hyatt\u2019s Korean sales manager Helen Shin said it is better to eat bulgogi by hand. This is done by wrapping the beef in lettuce and adding kimchi to spice up the flavor. Eating a bulgogi this way makes the flavors and texture enhance each other with every bite. Follow it up with a chunk of rice and you\u2019ll soon be asking for more!<\/p>\n

Korean kalbi or barbecued short ribs is another grilled favorite. According to Kili\u2019s chef de cuisine Inas Hocog, it is almost similar to bulgogi in terms of marinating but bulgogi is sweeter.<\/p>\n

Kili Caf\u00e9 will also serve a variety of kimchis made from turnip, cucumber, and bean sprouts.<\/p>\n

Other much-loved Korean festive staples such as marinated pork belly, spicy squid, and dumplings are available. Dinner will be followed by customary desserts and includes free flowing beer, wine, and iced tea.\u00a0Korean soju will be available for purchase at a special price.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dinner starts at 6pm at $42 per person. Club at the Hyatt members are welcome. For reservations, call\u00a0234-1234.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
