The Spice Market

Description:

• Accessible from both the Marco Polo Prince Hotel and the third floor of Harbour City shopping mall, this dark and cozy restaurant specializes in buffets offering diners a culinary adventure throughout Asia. On offer are Chinese noodles; Indian curries; Japanese sushi; and Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Singaporean favorites. Included are steamed fish, satays, Mongolian stir-fried noodles, tandoori, congee, dim sum, soups, salads, appetizers, and desserts. True to its name, some of the foods are spicy, but others lack pizazz, probably due to international palates unaccustomed to fiery cuisine. While none of the dishes are outstanding, most of them are good; with so many choices, you'll probably end up eating more than you should. The best deal: Saturday, Sunday and holidays from 3:15 to 5:15pm, when the entire buffet costs only HK$138 (US$18/£8.95) per person.
