Christmas Treat: Buffet at Marriot Cafe
January 13th, 2012 | by upto6only |Don’t you just love Christmas? Party here and there (and everywhere ??? ) Before the year ends, i was able to experience a special Christmas treat ~ lunch buffet at Marriot Cafe. For just a week, Marriot Cafe offered a 50% off on their lunch buffet last December, which includes unlimited tea or coffee. With such a good offer, my friends grabbed the opportunity to try it. It was our second time to have our lunch around Newport area. Newport is just a few minutes away from Makati especially if you take the Skyway and restaurants are not crowded with diners. Well i guess it’s because we go there during lunch hour. But for sure, there are many customers at night.
Excited as we enter the hotel, we got a very good location inside the restaurant (just beside the buffet area). We scanned the food and as soon as we have settled down, we began to take the plunge lol.
Salad Station:
My first stop was at the salad station. So many greens, topping, dressing etc. Can’t choose what kind of salad to make

Green Leafy Vegetables

cold cuts
smoked salmon, salami, parma ham lyonner (not sure if i got it correctly)

not sure which one i will put on my plate.

Salad Dressings

ready-made salads
Breads & Cheese Section:
After the salad section, i went to check on the breads and cheese. Just perfect for my salad



nuts and cheeses

Now here is my frst plate. Just made a simple ceasar salad and got a plain bun, a slice of blue and cheddar cheese.
Japanese Section:
Next stop was their Japanese Section. I’m not that happy since there were only a limited number of Japanese food to choose from

tempura

fresh salmon, tuna & maki

My second plate. Tasted it all hahaha.
Chinese Section:
Not yet full hahaha lagok lang ng lagok. Excited to eat dimsum yummy!!!

chickens and pork

spare ribs

not sure what these are

siomai, siopao, hakaw, etc


My third plate. Got the siomai, hakao, spare ribs and a slice of ??? Love their siomai and hakaw.
Seafood Sections:
Ok, my fave part ~ shrimps, crabs & mussels.


And look what i got!!! After finishing these, i got another plate full of shrimps. I guess i should have requested them to make them warm.

I no longer tried tasting the photos above and below. My feet was itching to go somewhere else…

US ribeye
Desserts Section:
This is the reason why had to pass on the other dishes. Their desserts were so beautiful. So Christmasy. These were the ones that made stop as soon as i entered the cafe. Who wouldn’t love these.


Gingerbread house


My 5th plate. Ok, even if i wanted to get all those pretty cakes, my tummy is about to explode already

On the other side, they have this chocolate fondue and some fruits for dipping.

And these ice cream were also included yahoo.

toppings to choose from for your ice cream

Even if my tummy is hurting, i still tried their ice cream. “aba magbabayad na rin lang ako eh lubos lubusin ko na hahaha” I recommend the flavors i got. The white one is the Palawan Honey Walnut and the Mixed Berries Yoghurt.
*burp…excuse me. Call this lunch hahaha.

sulit naman pala sa presyo kahit ba full price.
i hardly go to buffets for 2 reasons: 1. lugi ako. 2. i tend to get full easily.
sabi nga ng friend ko while we were eating to other friends on the table, i’m all talk daw pero konti lang ako talaga kung kumain.
