Marriott Cafe, JW Marriott Bangkok, Thailand

Tried this dinner buffet last Thursday 19th Feb. in Bangkok.

1. oyster is quite ok and fresh. Alaskan crab legs were served. Pretty good too. 2. The sashimi is average. The most attractive food is the freshly sliced parma ham and the honey dew is an imported one. Very nice to go with parma ham!

3. the hot food is average but the pan fried fish fillet is pretty good. Sometimes it's difficult to have the pan fried fish done nice. 4. Foie Gras with mango. The chef used too much corn starch to coat it and try to seal the juice by using high heat pan frying it. So it turned out it's much too burnt and the coating is too thick to fall off easily.

5. prime rib is quite nice. Veggie too. 6. various fruits and ice cream. The ice cream is already too melting.

7. cakes are average. 8. peppermint tea.

You had less food in BKK Marriott than the HK one.
How much is the dinner buffet in BKK one and the HK one?
I am sure the HK Marriott is more expensive.

The most interesting thing is that I had a sinus and kind of a slight flu for my HK buffet. I usually would eat more when I get a bit sick. :)

The one in HK is at HK$400 and $440 net. The one in Bangkok is a complimentary on my card but I guess it'd be at around THB1,200.

Thanks SEA.
So HK Mariott is about $15 US more than the BKK one.
It is a good deal eating in BKK for the same level hotel.
And it is even free for you huh.

Mmmh... Still can't compare them since the food variety is different. :)
