Abalone as supper 鮑魚當宵夜 - Supper buffet, The Lounge, JW Marriott HK

JW Marriott knows how to keep its clients by giving them more flexibility. Their tea buffet from 1-6pm is very popular. Now they have launched a supper buffet starting from 8-11pm. As most people find supper buffet at many hotels, starting from at the earliest 9:45pm. Marriott is very thoughtful and generous to have it be started from 8pm. What's more, it's a full buffet at HK$280 (15% for AE or HSBC platinum cards for 2-4 persons, 20% for over 5 persons. Why not pay a little more for more flexibility and yet:
1. Nice and fresh sashimi. Took some parma ham and melon, plus artichoke and grape.
2. I like buffet with more cooking stations for noodle, congee and BBQ. I took one congee with prawn, fish filet, chicken and minced beef. Freshly made is already 50% better.
3. Bah Ku Teh - Spare rib soup. The soup isn't that herbal but still pretty good as it does have strong spare rib flavour.
4. The steamed abalone caught everyone's eye. I got some stir fried noodle in soy sauce.
5. Some dim sum too.
6. steamed rice with Chinese preserved sausage - pretty nice.
7. More abalone and beef filet.
8. Someone served at the Hagen Daz ice cream station. Good that it's more hygienic this way.
9. Lemon grass jello and fruits.
10. Peppermint tea to calm my stomach.
11. Another station for making this sticky rice dumpling in sesame powder. Actually quite a no. of service station for various food. There are some I didn't have room to try.
12. Jaja, mixed beans with taro sweet.
13. the Lounge.
14. the entrance of JW Marriott HK.

Nice nice. Maybe we can try this next time but I think it is not easy to book.

Not so. Some people still tend to go to their Cafe or California. Man Ho is somehow quite full most of the time. I often need to book a week in advance for my business meals.

also discount for Marriott Gold card holder, like u right?

Yes, Mickey, the Marriott Gold card can be used though it's limited to 4 visits. I am quite happy with them for using other card for the 20% discount, since it's much worth it in terms of service and food quality.

The price is very reasonable considered a lot of quality food here including abalone.
