| Sheraton Grand Incheon Hotel's strawberry dessert buffet / Sheraton Grand Incheon Hotel |

Strawberries are a good source of vitamin C, manganese and unsaturated fatty acids. They also contain phytochemicals, which are believed to have anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. They decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease, as well as lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Strawberry season has arrived, and to celebrate, hotel restaurants are offering menus and dishes featuring the delicious fruit.
Sheraton Grand Incheon Hotel is among the many luxury hotels that have created a decadent strawberry menu.
The hotel's Japanese restaurant, Miyabi, is serving strawberry sushi, which features a slice of strawberry in between the rice and raw fish. Meanwhile, its Chinese restaurant, Yue, has incorporated the seasonal fruit into the sauce for "tangsuyuk" or deep-fried pork. The strawberry dessert menu features more than 30 desserts, cakes and pastries, including Danish, tart and choux cream. Tea and coffee will be served at the dessert buffet.
