MARRIOTT CAFE lunch buffet at 50% off this October

Yes, my post title is spot on!!!LUNCH BUFFET at MARRIOT CAFE  is 50% off starting today until October 31. That means 875 pesos per pax instead of 1,750!!!

Hotels in Metro Manila these days are on a fierce battle in the FOOD& DRINKS (F&D) Department. There is an intense competition to lure customers and provide them with a complete experience other than staying in their beautifully furnished rooms. After all, most successful hotel brands have it for the success of their F&D division as it gives guests more reasons to come back. Such is the dedication of MARRIOT HOTEL MANILA and now everybody has the chance to partake in the delicious lineup of food available at Marriott Cafe for half the price.

MARRIOTT CAFE lunch buffet at 50% off for October

Marriott Cafe occasionally invites bloggers to try their buffet and I was approached by their Marketing team to help gather bloggers last Saturday. I picked some of the best bloggers in town, the seasoned ones who know what to do. I mean, these bloggers are the ones who are straightforward in their reviews as their main concern is their readers so I am sure to get honest perspective from them. I also made sure I included Chyng Reyes in the lineup, the blogger for http://chyngreyes.com/ . Come on, who doesn't know Chyng Reyes and her travels and honest to goodness food exploits ayt? Will tell you what she thought later, first, my take on the Marriott Cafe lunch buffet.

First, the ambiance. This is in a 5-star hotel plus it's new. Marriott Cafe just turned 2 so expect new facilities. Modern and Western. After all, it's an American brand. Second, the food selection.Impressive. We took the time to go around and take pictures. Indian food, Thai, Japanese, Filipino, Chinese but mostly Western. The moment I was done taking photos, I didn't know what to eat first. Kinda confusing when you have a lot to choose from.

I'll take you around trough the photos I took. Here are some of the food that they have.......

THE SALADS- a lot to choose from. Too bad I have lactose intolerance so I usually stay away from salads when I know my stomach is empty. I don't want to take the risk and end up with an upset tummy so I usually jump to the main course. If you are a salad lover though, I can guarantee you that you can find your favorite here.

THE MAIN DISHES


Don’t miss some of these delish highlights, courtesy of Marriott Café’s renowned chefs: stuffed turkey, butter fried prawn on a bed of asparagus, blue marlin with tomato coulis, and Arabic chicken.Not only everyone get to try the carefully prepared hot dishes that varies daily; there are also live stations such as seafood on ice, Filipino, Indian, Chinese,Japanese and Mongolian that will let diners become creative with their dish. Whether it’s a flavorful, piping hot sinigang, all-meat Mongolian rice bowl, authentic Chinese soups, or special stir-fried assorted seafood.The first that I grabbed was the US ribeye. Yun ang mahal eh.lols When my wife saw all of the seafood she forgot that she is on a strict diet. Not completely, but I told her it's not the time for diet.hahaha

my first plate....

If you are looking for something they don't have in the selection, you can approach their chef's to prepare it for you. As long as they have the ingredients, they will cook it for you. Chef Marian Reyes prepared Mongolian fried rice and a Singaporean-style lobster dish for us.(TAKE NOTE: lobster is on special request) The Mongolian rice blew me away. I was imagining the taste even until I was on my way back home. Tagal kong naka-get over.hahaha 

Mongolian Fried Rice---ftw!!!

THE DESSERTS


I so looooove desserts!!!!  Marriott Café boasts its in-house made ice cream choices from sinful to guilt –free such as Maracaibo, pistachio, chocolate, vanilla, and sorbets. Plus, there’s also a fondue station complete with assorted cookies, fruits, and pastries to fully enjoy dipping from this Belgian-made pick me upper.I got tons of pastries, put them in a big plate.It felt like a children s party con Christmas to me.lols


When my wife had her ice cream dessert, I was already stuffed so I just tasted her gelato ice cream.Sabi ko nga sa kanya, ice cream palang solve na yung bayad mo.kahit regular price pa yan!!! 

And yeah, I spoke of Chyng Reyes a while ago. She's a good friend and I asked her about her verdict. When I told her that the selection is impressive, she remarked, "magkaka-alaman sa lasa". Afterwards, this what she had to say, "nirecommend ko nga agad sa mga frens ko. in ferness, masarap sya. im surprised. it ranks 2nd sa bestest buffets I've tried. achieve!!!" That from somebody who is if I may say, a veteran in buffet meals in expensive restaurants. Take her word for it.

I am yet to ask what the best buffet is for her but in my case, it's the best so far. Asked if I will be back for more? Definitely!!!You see, me and other bloggers have been tweeting about it last night. We are planning to go back before the 50% off promo ends this October. hehehe

my wife Teresa with Chyng Reyes. Miss you Chyng!!!!
