Millennium Seoul Hilton

The Millennium Seoul Hilton's buffet restaurant, Orangerie, will have a promotion of deer velvet dishes this month.

The restaurant has added a selection of New Zealand deer velvet dishes to its regular offerings.

Velvet refers to the soft tissues that cover the antlers on deer before they harden into bone. But the inside of the antler is used for dishes.

For over 2000 years, antlers have been prized by the Chinese for their alleged powerful health-promoting properties. According to Chinese Medicine they are good for body strengthening, blood cell production, improving the immune system as well as cardiovascular health and function.

The price for the lunch buffet is 47,000 won for adults and 28,000 won for children, while the dinner buffet costs 52,000 won and 31,000 won, respectively.
