Inside the spacious and elegant interiors of Marriott Cafe, the ice-filled barrels loaded with fresh lobsters are hard to miss. It's not everyday that you can indulge in fresh, succulent lobsters, but you can start the week with your fill of lobsters for lunch and dinner at Marriott Cafe. Now, it's easy to love Mondays with Lobster Mondays at Marriott Cafe. Unlimited lobsters, prepared just the way you like it. Just can't get better than that.  

A long-time advocate for Sustainable Seafood, Marriott Manila Hotel offers the day's freshest catch with its Lobster Mondays at Marriott Cafe (for more on the hotel's advocacy on Sustainable Seafood, see my previous post, The Freshest Catch for the Third Straight Year at the Sustainable Seafood Week Launch).

At the fresh Sustainable Seafood Station, diners can indulge in fat spanner crabs, plump mussels...

...and fresh and succulent shrimps...

...or just get down to some serious business with Marriott Cafe's fresh lobsters for an epic seafood feast. The engaging open-theater kitchen layout of Marriott Cafe adds to the dining experience, where you can have your lobster prepared by the station chefs to suit your preference.

That day, Marriott Cafe's chefs proudly served the featured dish at the launch of Lobster Mondays at Marriott Cafe with impressive platters of Lobster Thermidor to the delight of the guests.  The signature dish added that celebratory vibe to the launch of Lobster Mondays at Marriott Cafe...

And why not. The classic French dish not only looks good, it tastes good too. Created in the 1880's by celebrated French chef August Escoffier while working in Maison Maire in Paris, the indulgent dish features a creamy mixture of cooked lobster, egg yolks, and fine brandy stuffed into a lobster shell topped with an oven-baked cheese crust. Served with cherry tomatoes, French beans and grilled corn, the iconic dish is recreated at Lobster Mondays at Marriott Cafe. 

Just how many ways can you enjoy your lobster? Marriott Cafe's chefs show you how with a variety of lobster dishes prepared a la minute...

From the creamy and flavorful Lobster Thermidore...

...to the sweet, tart and spicy Asian-inspired Chili Lobster...

...the delicately prepared Garlic Butter Lobster simmered in rich butter...

...or the Lemon-Grilled Lobster, fresh off Marriott Cafe's open kitchen grills. Still can't decide? Why not have all of them with Lobster Mondays at Marriott Cafe?

I began my lobster feast with the signature Lobster Thermidor, whole lobster stuffed with creamy cooked lobster with sharp hints of mustard and brandy capped by the rich flavors of cheese...

...followed by Garlic Lobster Flambe with the richness of butter tempered by the nutty notes of garlic...

...Baked Lobster with Cheese and Bechamel with the briny sweetness of fresh lobsters perfectly finished by the creamy bechamel sauce and sharp notes of cheese...

...and Chili Fried Lobster with its distinct spicy Asian hints. Each dish highlighted the versatility of the ocean's prized catch, with its fresh and clean flavors punching through with each bite. Got some other creative ideas? Have a chat with the station chefs and they'll gladly prepare your own customized lobster dish.

Diners can also enjoy Marriott Cafe's extensive buffet selections, from their savory Carving Station to Halal Station, the Pasta Station to the Chinese Station with its assortment of roasts, dimsum and noodles, the Filipino Station with comforting local favorites and Japanese Station with sushi, sashimi, tempura and grilled favorites. 

But it's the lobsters that really make Mondays special at Marriott Cafe. And you can have your fill of lobsters one day in a week for both lunch and dinner with Lobster Mondays at Marriott Cafe. Mondays just got a whole lot better...
