The Market



The Market at the Hotel Icon in Hong Kong serves a lunch buffet for HK$368 ($47), plus a 10% service charge. It's an opportunity to try lots of different Asian dishes, including durian.


You can start with the fresh fruit although I admit the fruit wasn't too exciting. There wasn't anything exotic in the line-up.


There's a section for cold cuts and cheese & cracker.


The seafood bisque was delicious. There was also a congee (rice porridge) station.


Sushi station with hand rolls and nigiri sushi.


Seafood station with mussels, crawfish, clams, shrimp, king crab and stone crab claws. The crab was watery.


There were Chinese dishes, Thai dishes (including satays)


and Indian dishes. There were also noodle stations. 


Pizza


Grilled ribeye, lamb chops and root vegetables.


There were many options for dessert, including ice cream, sorbet, panna cotta, cakes, tarts and macarons. There was an entire section devoted to durian. I tried one and couldn't get rid of the taste for the rest of the day. I am definitely not a durian fan. 

Was lunch worth $50. I would say not.  There are lots of better things to eat in Hong Kong.
