THE GRAND-LOOKING FACADE OF MARRIOTT HOTEL-PASAY CITY
Picture
I'm lucky to have a foodie text brigade. By text, I mean friends who literally send you an SMS summoning a food trip. It's not one of those eat out invites which gets postponed. Whether I tag along or not, the food trip is going to happen. And this one did at the 3-week old Marriott Hotel in Pasay City one weekday.

We were lucky to find out that the hotel's lunch buffet is on 50% discount. This means that the Php1,350 rate is slashed down to just Php600 plus. It normally starts at 11:00 am and lasts until 2:00 pm. The promo is until November 30 and for weekday visits only. I suggest that you reserve a table before going because the buffet is picking up fast.

Appetizer Plate

Above is my morsel plate of appetizers which I selected from the salad bar. I also took two pieces of tempura from the Japanese cuisine area and a piece of bread from the breakfast tray. I semi-filled my plate with clam, string beans, feta cheese, cold cuts, eggplant, tomatoes and potatoes, among others.

BREAD: CHOICE OF SESAME SEED BUNS OR WITHOUT
Eat-all-you-can patrons can forgive me for not optimizing the experience. I had to resort to morsel approach because I'm obviously not as big as some people. I have a small frame and it bugs down quickly (read: rest room refuge), so as not to worry about that dining mishap I didn't take what I could not eat. Besides I don't even get to finish everything, but the waiters at Marriot Cafe seem not to mind unlike other eat-all-you-can attendants at conventional restaurants.

Woweeee, that's a steal! I'm trained to take a 5-hour meal (that's proven by the 5-hour lunch at Claude Tayag's Bale Dutung). Lol. =)
