Have you read the news? Everyone is binge-watching this Korean time-slip fantasy romance drama with a gourmet twist called Bon Appétit, Your Majesty. The series follows the story of Yeon Ji-young, a modern Michelin-starred chef who accidentally travels back to the Joseon era, and each episode revolves around a dish.
But beware, watching those mouthwatering plates makes you crave Korean menus! The good news is, this September,
Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao at Cafe Uno is serving a Korean buffet every weekend – Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, at lunch and dinner. Even better, their lineup changes daily, so every visit is a fresh surprise.
Indeed, Cafe Uno lets you savor Korea’s best tastes without leaving Davao. Priced at ₱1,288 per person, it is a feast worth every bite. And here is an even better treat: if you are checked in at the hotel this September, you get ₱288 off each buffet.
For bookings and inquiries, dial +63 82 233 2881 to 87 or 0998 594 8540 and reserve your table.
If you haven’t watched the series, here are the dishes featured in each episode that we had for dinner last night at Cafe Uno.
Spoiler alert!
- (Ep. 1) Butter Gochujang Bibimbap – In the drama, this fusion dish uses brown butter. At Cafe Uno, you can enjoy the more traditional Bibimbap, still colorful and hearty with vegetables, meat, egg, and gochujang.
- (Ep. 2) Sous-Vide Steak- While the drama highlights a sous-vide method, Cafe Uno counters with Korean Roasted Beef and Oven-Baked Korean Pork Ribs, offering deep, rich flavors through slow-cooking.
- (Ep. 3) Korean-French Haute Cuisine – Venison yukhoe and venison tongue may be royal, but Cafe Uno’s Korean Beef Stir Fry and Chicken Bulgogi echo that refined meat-centered focus in a buffet setting.
- (Ep. 4) Jaecheop Doenjang Soup Set – Cafe Uno does not have clam doenjang soup for today, but its Yukgaejang Soup and Spicy Korean Fish Stew serve the same comforting, soulful role.
- (Ep. 5) Doenjang Pasta -The drama’s buckwheat noodles in soybean paste sauce find a parallel in Uno’s Korean Ssamjang Pasta, another fusion delight with nutty, umami flavors.
Beyond the series, Cafe Uno’s buffet spreads out even more hearty options to satisfy every craving. These savory favorites are perfect for those who crave bold flavors, comforting textures, and a touch of indulgence to complete the feast.
- Spicy Pork Sweet and Sour – A fiery-sweet balance that keeps you coming back for seconds.
- Chicken Skin & Chicken Wings – Crispy and indulgent, made for comfort cravings.
- Fried Tofu – Light and golden, a refreshing counter to heavier mains.
- Korean Mandu Pork & Chicken Dumplings – Juicy and satisfying, perfect with dipping sauces.
No Korean dining experience is complete without a touch of sweetness, and Cafe Uno makes sure you end your meal on a high note. Their dessert selection captures the comforting, chewy, and nutty flavors Korea is known for, giving guests the perfect finale to their weekend buffet adventure.
- Yaksik – Sweet rice with nuts, chewy and flavorful.
