星期天早上飯店check out之後,我們到位在Plant Hollywood中的Spice Market Buffet吃了豐盛的早午餐,這裡的東西蠻好吃的,選擇種類很多,甜點區還有現做超好吃的可麗餅,覺得這家比第一天去吃的Wynn Buffet好吃很多耶!我們很喜歡這家吃到飽喔!

Our plan for Sunday was to have buffet brunch before heading back to Los Angeles. But we ate so much the night before at Rosemary's, we woke up still full. After checking out at Monte Carlo, we headed accross the street to Planet Hollywood. We decided to "look" at the buffet then decide if we could handle it or not.



I am a sucker for shining things. Shinging things must have some kind of hypnotic power because they make me go "ahhhh~~~~ Shining.... Pretty...." and draw me in. When I see that big shining sign of "Spice Market Buffet", all of a sudden I turn hungry again. Buffet brunch, here we come!





We arrived around 11:00am right when the Champagne brunch started. The line wasn't long. We patiently waited in line for about 15 minutes. Well, I pretended to be patient, but was actually screaming in my mind "hurry up, people! I want my food NOW!"



Buffet brunch price is $20.99 per person. Add $3.00 extra you get unlimited champagne. I never notice what kind of music is playing at other buffets. But we listened to Justin Timberlake and Rihanna while dining here. The pop music did made this place seemed more "Hollywood".



Spice Market Buffet offers cuisine from around the world. Asian, American, Mexican, Italian, and Middle Eastern. This is the first time I see Middle Eastern cuisine featured in Las Vegas buffet. Nice! Since it's brunch hour, there are breakfast items such as made-to-order omelet and make-it-yourself waffle. There are lots of choices here. Everybody can find something they like.



Dr. Park and I shared an omelet. We ordered it with everything, which include ham, mushroom, onion, tomato and cheese. The omelet station chef can make three omelets at one time... really fast, too. Freshly made omelet with gooey melted cheese, a dash of Tabasco, that's my kind of breakfast heaven. Yum!



I was quite reserved that day because I already had a 3 months old looking food baby in my stomach. If my stomach popped right there, that wouldn't be a pretty sign. Spicy tuna roll, cocktail shrimp, marinated mushroom, the standard appetizer dishes. I took bite sizes of shrimp, chicken and steak from the Mexican station. I was surprised how the food didn't taste like buffet food, but more like restaurant food here. The lamb stuffed tomato from the Middle Eastern station was a hit. The succulent flavor of lamb paired with juicy baked tomato perfectly. One bite and I totally forgot about the recent tomato salmonella scare.



Dr. Park's first plate. Again, the best dish came from the Middle Eastern station. The tandoori chicken was tender and flavorful. Hummus and ghanoush were equally delicious. The hollandasie sauce on the egg benedict was tasty, but the egg was overcooked. My explanation is that maybe it's for food safety reason? But we still like egg benedict with running yolk better.



Prime rib swamped with yummy gravy. Looks delicious, but it was a bit too tough for our taste. So we left most of it sitting in the plate looking pretty.



I know I know, that's a lot of food. That was our second plate, not mine, OURS. The crab stuffed sole was very good, as well as the rest of the food. We both agree that the food at Spice Market Buffet is better than Wynn Buffet at this point. But I still have to try the most important element (for sweet tooth like me) for a good buffet, dessert, before I can decide if this buffet is truly better.



Ahhhh.... dessert! Here is my favorite dessert, Dr. Park!!!! Hahahaha.... just kidding. ;p



The dessert station looks so inviting. I stood there for a good 5 minutes just to decide what I want to get.



Flan is one of my favorite desserts. When I see one, I have to get one. I don't think I need to describe how delicious the flan was. I'll just let the picture do all the work. *drool*



There is a crepe station. I picked strawberry and the crepe chef prepared it right in front of me. "Do you want some brandy?" the chef asked. Huh? Brandy? I didn't know they add brandy to crepes. The chef tried to convince me, "yeah, brandy makes it taste better!" I decided to trust the chef.



That was a really good decision to trust the chef. This crepe was amazing. Fresh strawberry in sweet crepe with the brandy sauce, my goodness that was good.



The small fruit tart looks so cute. I had to grab one. Two bites, gone, yum!



Panna cotta was soft and creamy. My stomach was about to explode. But I still finished it all.



Before we left, we went back to the dessert station to grab a cotton candy for to go. Cotton candy! They even have cotton candy!! This is the best dessert buffet ever!

We really enjoy the champagne brunch at Spice Market Buffet. We like it a lot better than Wynn buffet. After spending two hours here, we left with big smile and bigger stomach. Spice Market Buffet, we will be back. See you soon, hopefully.

  3. Wow, this looks great. I think I'll need to come here next time!


    Please try this buffet next time you're in Vegas.
    I think you'll like it.
    Both Dr. Park and I think it's better than Wynn buffet.

  4. My! I love shining things, too!! Anything that sparkles I adore. I have to be mindful not to look like a lighted Xmas tree when I put on accessories full of rhinestones and crystal beads. =)

    The Spice Market brunch looks very tasty and its price seems quite reasonable. Is Planet Hollywood the old Aladdin Casino?? If so, the baffet inside Aladdin used to have the most delicious lamb meat kabob that's ultra tender and flavorful.

    Again, I click open your blog first thing in the morning before breakfast and after 12 hours without food. Must dash over to the nearest fastfood to get something to eat. ;-) Stay cool!


    Yup, Planet Hollywood used to be Aladdin.
    It's now very glamorous and very Hollywood.
    I like the new Planet Hollywood... and their buffet!

  8. That buffet looks delicious! Def better than Wynn. Wynn is all hype, nothing to back up. You shouldn't decide which dessert to get, just grab one each. HAH I see a trip to Vegas in the fall for us. :)


    We should've came here the first day.
    Then I would have the stomach to eat all the dessert.
    This is definately better than Wynn. We'll be back again.
