Pre-Pandemic Feature
The Breakfast Buffet at Shangri-La Hotel Wuhan is served daily from 06:00am to 10:00am (until 10:30am on weekends) at Café Wu, the all-day dining restaurant and main breakfast venue of the hotel. Guests who booked a breakfast-inclusive room rate can enjoy the daily breakfast buffet at the restaurant during their stay (up to two registered adult guests per room).
Guests with access to the Horizon Club Lounge (those guests staying in Horizon Club Rooms or Suites) may also choose to have the breakfast buffet at Café Wu. Golden Circle Jade and Diamond members can also enjoy their complimentary breakfast benefit here at Café Wu.
Food stations include Bread & Pastries, Cereals Station, Fresh Garden Salads & Fruits, Japanese Station, Chinese Station, Western Station, and Desserts Station. There are also three live cooking stations where guests can order a la minute egg dishes (sunny side, scrambled, boiled, and omelet) as well as noodle soup dishes.
There is also a live cooking station dedicated to Reganmian (热干面). Called hot dry noodles in English, reganmian is the most popular breakfast dish in Wuhan so make sure to try it during your visit.
Drinks are also included in the breakfast buffet. Guests can choose from freshly brewed coffee (Americano, Latte, Mocha and Cappuccino), Zesta tea (English Breakfast, Jasmine, Black Tea with Osmanthus, Earl Gray, Chamomile etc), hot soy milk, as well as a variety of chilled fruit juices.
I was able to try the breakfast buffet at Café Wu during my stay at Shangri-La Hotel Wuhan. As always, when I am traveling, I would skip Western food and make sure I try out the local dishes. This is why I love staying in a Shangri-La because they always include local and regional specialties in their buffet spread.
My first plate included dishes from the Chinese station. I had Wuhan Fried Rice, which I find a more savory version of Yangzhou Fried Rice. I also got some steamed vegetables, roasted five-spice chicken, and some steamed buns and dumplings.
As mentioned earlier, reganmian (热干面) is one of the must-try dishes for breakfast here at Café Wu. This noodle dish is served with a thick sauce consisting of soy sauce and sesame paste. It is then topped with pickled vegetables, chopped green onion, and chili oil. Thoroughly mix the noodles and the sauce to even out all the flavors.
Two other Wuhan delicacies that you must try at Café Wu are the doupi (豆皮), a fried sticky rice dish layered with bean skin, chopped mushroom, pork, and green onion, and the mianwo (面窝), a fried doughnut-shaped snack made of flour, soy milk, rice milk, sesame, and chopped green onions.
Finally, I ended my breakfast with a platter of fresh fruits consisting of oranges, cubed watermellon and honeydew which I paired with a glass of chilled orange juice.
