Todai Restaurant

For several hours on Thursday night we ate at the Todai (pronounced either "today" or "to die" depending on how you look at it) Restaurant in Mok-dong. This was certainly the most extensive buffet I've ever been to. The scale of the restaurant is absolutely enormous, with every type of food imaginable on offer. I thought about taking pictures of the dishes but photos wouldn't do justice to the scale of the place, so I took a video:

Granted, by the time I took the video a lot of the food had been picked over but it was really impressive for most of the time we were there and most of the dishes I tried tasted really good. I mean, they had almost anything you'd want to eat: pizza, chicken pot pie, made to order spaghetti, curry and naan bread, samgyupsal, sweet and sour chicken, lots of stir fry dishes, escargot, bacon-wrapped this and that, a dozen choices of salad (including jellyfish salad), sushi, crab legs, tempura, bulgogi, meatballs, fresh fruit, about 2 dozen cakes to choose from for dessert and so much more. The price was just a little under $30 so it's not the kind of place you're going to visit everyday, but we'll certainly go back to treat ourselves from time to time.

By the time we were done, we felt about the same as this little guy that we spotted passed out near the entrance:
...and it was time to waddle home for another night.
