My visit to my aunt’s new luxury apartment was worth while. Luxury apartments include a center pool. Imagine going to a hotel in Las Vegas. The pool sits firmly in the center and amenities from bowling alley, kids club, and culinary class are all provided.

For lunch, we visited Han Yang Ru Korean restaurant. The all you can eat buffet lunch option was only around $8 USD. Sitting in a modern interior, I quickly raced toward the food after a sip of tea.

A fleet of pan chan (side dishes) whet my appetite. Crispy kim chi (preserved cabbage in chili sauce) and pickled cucumber started my meal. A hot food section with fried rice and mussels was available, but as an expert buffet eater, I went for the main actors.

Before heading toward center stage, I stopped by the mini sushi selection for a few eel sushi and few gulps of Chinese herbal digestive tea.

As for center stage, the all you can eat meat selection was overwhelmed with choices. I ate about one pound of tender Korean BBQ marinated beef. In terms of texture, the meat lacked fatty marbling but for this price, it simply did the trick.

With flaky meat, grilled mackerel (saba) provided a savory sea sweet taste. Mackerel has a strong “fishy” taste that fit an acquired palate.

Rounding out the menu, the grilled squid had sea – sweat component. Other selections included hot dog, bacon, pork chop, and chicken wings.

Sweet caramelized grilled meat married so well with a bowl of pillowy rice. It was meat heaven but with value.
