Taipei Marriott Hotel's Cai Hui Lunch Buffet

The dining area at Marriott is not very large and is divided into four main sections: fresh seafood, hot dishes, appetizers and fruit salads, and desserts and beverages. Each section has its own unique offerings. In the fresh seafood section, there was a surprise today as snow crab was out of stock and replaced with matsuba crab 🤣🤣🤣. The hot dishes section is packed with must-try delicacies! The roasted beef, sous-vide chuck steak, Nicaraguan prawns, and scallops were all absolutely delicious! The signature beef soup and wagyu consommé are also must-haves 🤤. The Thai-style dishes include Thai shrimp and pork, volcano ribs, spicy stir-fried crab, and Siamese spicy fried drumsticks. On the side, the wagyu consommé and port wine-braised beef cheeks are also must-try items! The appetizer section is quite colorful, but I didn’t have much room today, so I mostly enjoyed fruits and freshly squeezed juices 😂. The dessert section maintains its high standards as always. The mille-feuille cake, caramel crème brûlée, and chocolate desserts are fantastic! Don’t miss the croissant waffles paired with warm pistachio ice cream—it’s pure satisfaction 🥰. Lunch desserts also include macarons, which are not available during afternoon tea. Lunch hours are from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM (food service ends at 2:00 PM), giving you 3 hours to chat and enjoy 😸.
