The Hilton Tokyo and the Embassy of Colombia will jointly host the Colombian Gastronomic Journey, a special gourmet promotion taking place at the hotel's buffet restaurant, Checkers, from Aug. 4 to 8.
Guests will have the opportunity to feast on a wide range of authentic Colombian dishes for lunch or dinner at the buffet. On Saturday and Sunday nights, live vallenato guitar performances add a romantic touch.
Among some 40 dishes for lunch and 50 for dinner, all specially prepared by guest chefs Carlos Torres and Martha Mora Delgado from Colombia, are ajiaco (a Colombian soup of chicken and potatoes) — the local dish of the capital Bogota; lomitos al cafe (coffee braised veal); and bandeja paisa (a combination of pork, beans and rice accompanied by sweet fried plantains and corn bread). For dessert, an array of Colombian sweets featuring various tropical fruits will be available, along with organic Colombian coffee.
