Wynn - breakfast / lunch buffet 2008

Wynn

Wynn breakfast buffet. We got here for breakfast, but when we were leaving, it was lunch, so we could try out breakfast and lunch both. Price was $12.57 per person for breakfast.

They had a promotion for new players, if you join the players club and earn enough points, you get 2 free buffets. I received free play, too. I had never made a card here with my name before, so I made it to get the free play and buffet.

The last time we were here at the Wynn buffet was back in 2006, and it was dinner. So this was actually our first time trying the breakfast and lunch buffet. It was actually very good. I loved their breakfast items. All this quality food for $12.57, that is a bargain.

Did you know, they are all fruits and vegetables?

fruit salad, yogurt, grapefruit, sausage, egg benedict, and dry bread

french toast, ham, eggs, sausage

pastries and yogurt with lots of strawberries and granola
The croissant was very good. I think it was similar taste to the one at the Wynn drugstore cafe.

tomatoes, cranberry bagel, salmon cake, strawberries, waffle
Everything was good.

omelet from omelet station

from lunch items: pizza and pasta

I think it was fig and pear with gorgonzola, field greens, pecans...something like that.

sushi, potstickers, dumplings, mashed potato

fried chicken, mashed potato, veggies

My husband said his chicken was very juicy and moist, and delicious. Probably because it was fresh.

meatball, risotto, and veal patty (I think)

mango and lemon sorbet
Very tasty.

Mango tasted so much mango taste. You can see vanilla beans in the vanilla ice cream. All the sorbet and ice cream was delicious. Tasted homemade, no nasty medicine taste like some other cheap buffets.

Wing Lei - Wynn

Wynn

Wing Lei at Wynn. Michelin Star upscale Chinese restaurant. The only Chinese restaurant in North America with a Michelin Star. Excellent service. The food was very good, too. There were some lotions and mouthwash in the restroom. We had $200 in comps we could spend here, and we ordered too much food. We couldn't finish eating (of course).

Pan-seared pot stickers (pork, cabbage, bamboo shoot), $12

It was great.

Ahi tuna roll (julienned carrot, rice noodle, sweet chili sauce), $15
Very light. I think this didn't have much flavor. I can eat it, but I wouldn't order this again.

Peking duck salad (mesclun lettuce, almond, orange, truffle vinaigrette), $14

Worth the money, try it. This salad was really good and the Peking duck itself was also very good.

Seafood sizzling rice soup, $12
The soup was excellent. It looks like almost has no taste but it was very tasty. We never had rice soup before, but it's just so good.

Sichuan chili prawns (wok fried choy sum, garlic, spicy soy bean sauce), $36

Yang chow fried rice, $22
I loved it. It tasted like the fried rice you get at ramen restaurants in Japan. You know, the fried rice at ramen restaurants and at Chinese restaurants is different.

Ma po tofu, $20
Most unusual ma po tofu we ever had, the sauce was very different from the ma po tofu I know.
I can't explain, but we didn't like this one. To me, it's not ma po tofu.

Pan-fried noodles, $20
Very good.

Twice-cooked pork belly (cabbage, king oyster mushroom), $25
Well, I thought it's kinda gross eating pork belly. I don't like pork, so I didn't like this pork belly so much. But if you like pork, maybe you're gonna like it.
