Millennium Seoul Hilton is presenting two promotions featuring the cuisines of Venice and Singapore.

Il Ponte, the Italian restaurant, will host a gala dinner with a “Venetian Night” theme at 6:30 p.m. on June 17. It will start with a cocktail reception featuring prosecco, wine and wine spritzers, along with snacks including mini pizza, beef carpaccio and tomato and crab bruschetta.

Dinner will follow, with appetizers including prawn cocktail, tomato and mozzarella skewers, Caesar salad and seared tuna loin with pepper-spiced crust. Diners will be then served Burrida seafood soup, truffle pasta with prawns and mussels, and beef tenderloin Rossini with porcini mushroom sauce. They will enjoy a dessert buffet including tiramisu, panna cotta, Venetian apple pie and baked meringue ice-cream, along with coffee or tea.

The dinner is priced at 200,000 won, including tax and service charge. For more information, call (02) 317-3270.

The hotel’s international buffet and all-day dining restaurant, Cafe 395, has two guest chefs from the Orchard Hotel in Singapore from June 9 to 18.

The chefs will introduce Hokkien-style dishes, one of China’s eight major cuisines. Early Chinese immigrants from Fujian Province moved to Singapore and Malaysia and their cooking traditions were merged into the Hokkien style.

Some of the menus will include black pepper crab, chilli crab, Katong laksa, bak kut teh, assorted satay and rojak. The buffet is priced at 91,000 won. For more information, call (02) 317-3062.
