Dining, 22 December 2023
Hong Kong SAR, China, 22 December 2023 - With a focus on elevating the dining experience, Cafe Marco will introduce a Winter Congee Lunch Buffet, a Japanese Sukiyaki Dinner Buffet and a Cheesecake Delight Weekend Tea Buffet from 2 January to 29 February. The three new buffets are set to delight gastronomes, whether they are connoisseurs of Asian cuisines or lovers of sweet indulgences.

The all-new Live Congee Lunch Buffet features Hong Kong-style congee prepared à la minute. Guests can indulge in the savoury Minced Beef Congee, which includes tender minced beef accompanied by crispy deep-fried rice vermicelli and preserved vegetables. Seafood enthusiasts must try the Sampan Congee, which combines succulent squid, crispy deep-fried pork skin and delicate jellyfish for an exquisite oceanic delight. Guests can also experience the classic Century Egg & Pork Congee, which features silky thousand-year egg and julienned pork. Guests can also customise their congee with a selection of 48 ingredients, including fresh spring onions, deep-fried peanuts, preserved vegetables, golden garlic, crispy fritters and more.
The lunch buffet also includes a variety of chilled seafood, sashimi, salads, hot dishes, desserts and ice cream. Not to be missed are the chef's recommended Crispy Roasted Pork Knuckle, Lobster Spaghetti and homemade Braised Pork Knuckles with Ginger Sauce. Guests can indulge in this delectable buffet and satisfy their cravings to the fullest.

Meanwhile, Cafe Marco's Japanese Sukiyaki Dinner Buffet features an array of fresh seafood, including seasonal oysters, Boston lobsters, snow crab legs, brown crab, mussels and prawns. There's also a variety of sashimi, salads, appetisers, Chinese and Western hot dishes, desserts and ice cream. The highlight of this extravagant feast is the Japanese Sukiyaki. Guests can start with a selection of three tantalising soups - pork bone, chilli hot and kombu vegetable - then choose from the beef, seafood or vegan options for their main ingredients. The Beef Sukiyaki includes prime beef, beef shin and assorted vegetables. Seafood lovers will be delighted by the Seafood Sukiyaki, which features a medley of prawns, scallops, mussels, clams and assorted vegetables. Meanwhile, the Vegan Sukiyaki offers a mix of plant-based delights, such as mushrooms, carrots, white turnips, lotus root, Chinese cabbage and deep-fried bean curd skin.

As an auspicious treat, during the Chinese New Year period on 1-15 Feb, every pair of guests at the dinner buffet will be treated to a complimentary mini Poon Choi featuring abalone, fish maw, prawns, chicken, mushrooms, roasted barbecued duck, conpoy, lettuce and sea moss.

Meanwhile, during weekends throughout January and February, Pastry Chef Patrick See showcases an array of cheesecakes and creamy desserts as part of the Cheesecake Delight Weekend Tea Buffet. Sweets lovers are sure to delight in creations such as the smooth and rich Chocolate Baileys Cheesecake and the refreshingly sweet Yuzu Cheesecake. Other rich and colourful treats include the Coconut Mango Cheesecake, Raspberry Clotted Cheesecake, Ricotta Cheesecake with Grapefruit and Cheese Pancake Roll with Sabayon. In addition to the delicious desserts, guests can also enjoy a selection of seafood on ice, sashimi, salads, hot dishes, snacks and curries as well as free-flow fresh fruit juices, coffee and tea.
