Crayfish cooked in eight different styles and crabs prepared in four different methods… Welcome to Plaza Brasserie’s Crazy For Crayfish and Crab Buffet – a teaser to its hugely popular annual Ultimate Crab Feast Buffet (which is happening later this June).
Known for its Best of Asia Buffet, Plaza Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Beach Road is introducing the Crazy For Crayfish and Crab Buffet for the very first time this year. In addition to its four signature crabs – chilli, black pepper, salted egg and curry – the restaurant is featuring crayfish cooked in eight different sauces. Sounds unreal, yes we know. You know this is one buffet you cannot skip.
Wok-fried Crayfish with Salted Egg, Crayfish with Chilli Crab Sauce, Rendang Crayfish, Thai Basil Crayfish, Honey Rock Sugar Crayfish, White Pepper Crayfish, Black Bean Sauce Crayfish and Hot Bean Sauce Crayfish. Good Lord, just take our money!
The Crazy For Crayfish and Crab Buffet is available at Plaza Brasserie from 3 to 26 April 2015. Be sure to ring up and make your reservation, because they are known to always be booked out real fast. The Ultimate Crab Feast Buffet last year was fully booked by the first week, and we wouldn’t expect anything less for this buffet. Crayfish and crab buffet? This is the best of both worlds!
[ Giveaway ] We are also giving away 3 pairs of weekday buffet dining vouchers for the Crazy For Crayfish and Crab Buffet. Leave a comment below, and share this post on your Facebook timeline to win. More details on the giveaway at the end of this post.
ROCK SUGAR AND HONEY CRAYFISH
You must be wondering how this combination tastes like, and we will tell you that it is one so well-balanced between sweet and savoury that you simply cannot stop at just one serving. We had thought it would be bizarre, but hey, if you are not going for it, we will help ourselves to more!
By the way, this sauce mixture is actually not new to Plaza Brasserie; you can find dishes such as chicken and prawn cooked in rock sugar and honey sauce from its Best of Asia Spread.
BLACK BEAN CRAYFISH
We are usually more familiar with Steamed Fish with Black Bean Sauce or Wok-fried Spare Ribs with Black Bean Sauce, but a Black Bean Crayfish? Now, that’s a first. With the right amount of seasoning, onion and black bean sauce, this is a dark horse contender to Plaza Brasserie’s best crayfish.
BLACK PEPPER CRAYFISH
Because black pepper is too good to just be used on crabs alone! We now have a crayfish version, and the poignant flavour is oh-so-divine. Thick, sweet flesh from the crustacean cooked in a copious amount of black pepper sauce, Plaza Brasserie’s version is a fine mix of spicy and salty.
RENDANG CRAYFISH
If you love rendang, you would love Plaza Brasserie’s Rendang Crayfish. Who would have thought! But yes, the popular Indonesian flavour is now an option for your crayfish. It is the Malay’s idea of beef curry, prepared with mainly chilli, ginger, coconut milk, lemongrass, turmeric, garlic and galangal. In other words, a brilliant combination of herbs and spices. Eat this with rice; ahhh… simple pleasures in life.
HOT BEAN SAUCE CRAYFISH
Chilli, fermented bean sauce and sesame oil. This is a variation to black bean, and it is not any less flavourful. Slightly spicier, with complementing ingredients for a more robust sauce without overpowering the sweetness of the crayfish. The Hot Bean Sauce Crayfish is an innovative creation and one that the Chef is so proud of.
CHILLI CRAYFISH
Well, well. Singaporeans love their chilli crab, so they will fall (hard) in love with this chilli crayfish too. Deep fried buns are available as an accompanying side; need we say more? Go ahead, help yourselves to a bigger portion. We won’t tell.
THAI BASIL CRAYFISH
Thai basil does not just stop at minced pork. The culinary team decided to wok-fry the crayfish with the ever-popular Thai basil, and you can be assured that what you’d get is a kickass spicy flavour that you cannot get enough of. We always love a good Thai basil dish; the more fragrant the basil leaves, the better!
SALTED EGG YOLK CRAYFISH
Our favourite among the eight flavours – but then again, we are biased towards anything that has salted egg yolk in it. Generously coated with Plaza Brasserie’s signature salted egg yolk sauce, this crayfish dish will be an instant hit with friends and family. Calories don’t count if there is Salted Egg Yolk Crayfish on the buffet counter, because it is impossible to say ‘no’ to this heavenly dish. Triple portions, please!
SALTED EGG YOLK CRAB
Of course, you can stuff your faces silly with the Salted Egg Yolk Crab too. Go ahead, we won’t judge.
BLACK PEPPER CRAB
So when we told you there was the Black Pepper Crayfish, you were already expecting a crab version, right? Your wish is granted. Indulge and eat as many black pepper crabs as you want! This will totally make your buffet money well-spent.
CHILLI CRAB
Singapore is synonymous with food, and when you talk about our local food, chilli crab always comes to mind. Yes, Plaza Brasserie does their chilli crab well and worthy of Singaporeans’ never-ending affection. Eat all you can with deep-fried mantou, did we hear?
CURRY CRAB
Damn, this Curry Crab was sooo good that we were momentarily speechless. But we are not surprised, because Plaza Brasserie is famed for their Indian food. In case you do not already know, they have dedicated chefs hailing from India; cannot get more authentic than this, can you? Now, all you really need is a bowl of fragrant white rice to fully savour the curry sauce.
BEST OF ASIA BUFFET SPREAD
If you still have room after feasting on crayfishes and crabs, the Best of Asia Spread has hot pot stations (on rotation) serving dishes such as Braised Oxtail, Kampong Chicken Curry with Bread Loaf, Lotus Root and Pork Belly Soup and Seafood Tom Yum Soup. The live stations (on rotation) feature Crepe with Durian Mousse, Penang Hokkien Char, Fried Carrot Cake, Mee Goreng and more.

I simply cannot resist myself from wanting to eat all of them especially the Salted Egg Yolk Crayfish and Crab. They all look really yummy.
My mum and me both have an affair with crayfish and crabs. Though high in cholesterol, we still eat them anyway, because they are just so delicious and we ABSOLUTELY delicious!
The rendang crayfish and the rock sugar and honey crayfish look soooo amazing and I cant wait to try them out! They aren’t the typical, normal flavours that we can easily find elsewhere.
Living a busy and hactic lifestyle now, I really hope that I’m able to win this voucher for my mum and me to take a break and enjoy our favourite food together, and to have a great mother-and-daughter bonding session.
I would like to try the salted egg yoke crab and rendang crab.
Park royal is always like a home to us. We always go due to this event and always worth the money for it..let.go

What a fantastic combination of seafood. This can also prove that crayfish is not the poor cousin of crabs! I think the team at ParkRoyal has really put together a thoughtful pairing replete with local and proven recipes! I cannot wait to try!
i would like to win so that my whole family can have a proper meal together! How hard is that? But believe it or not, We haven’t had that in ages, everyone’s always busy with work, we eat out most of the time or at different times at home. This CNY, we didn’t have full attendance either for reunion as my brother was away on a work trip! ); so I hope that with this voucher, we can go for a meal together, finally! Most importantly, WE ARE ALL FANS OF CRABS
I’ll love to try the Salted Egg Yolk Crayfish with my family!
My wife and I are seafood lovers, particularly crabs and crayfish. We used to try out different flavours of crabs and crayfish all over Singapore. But we have not been doing so for the past year, due to my wife’s pregnancy and the subsequent birth of our baby son 3 months ago. We love salted egg yolk flavoured seafood and she has been craving to go for a crab buffet feast. I wish this would be a good gift and opportunity to give her this treat after her amazingly long pregnancy period! Thank you to my wife!
On a personal note, I am amazed by the many new flavours that Plaza Brasserie has come out with. Singapore should have more signature dishes that are original. Singapore is famous for her signature Chilli and Black Pepper Crabs. Let’s not forget other seafood like crayfish and have more ‘Made in Singapore’ cuisine. I hope Plaza Brasserie’s Salted Egg Yolk Crayfish (as well as other flavours of crayfish) can hit the world stage one day…
OMG.
I want to try everything you have listed here!
If I have to pick I really want to try the curry crab. Yes, I have heard and tasted pepper and chilli and salted egg (yum) but no I have NOT tried curry with these crustacean.
So yes, please let me have a taste with my (undecided person who will willingly join me in an heartbeat) and I shall leave you in peace.
And yes I will do the ‘likes’ and stuff as well.
Much love and anticipation.
Joy.
I would like to try out salted egg yolk crab and would like to bring my mom as her birthday is coming …
I love crab! My boyfriend loves it too! Wish to bring him there on his 18th birthday this year
I would like to bring my bf to try the salted York crab, chili crab and black pepper crayfish! I must say these dishes appeal to me & if can, I would like to try everything!
Hope I’m able to win and bring my bf to try on his birthday!
OMG CRAYFISH AND CRAB BUFFET?! This must be th best combination ever?! Seafood has always been my favourite since young and I can’t get enough of it even when I eat it everyday!! Obviously everything on the menu sounds damn tempting to me but if I really had to choose one for each, I would want to try the rock sugar and honey crayfish!! Its so innovative to think of such a flavour and I’m really curious how it will taste like??? So ladyironchef, you have to pick me!!! Because I’m such an avid seafood fan and I know you can sense my excitement!!!
I would love to try the Thai basil crayfish and curry crab. I’m a huge fan of seafood especially ones that are slightly spicy, seeing this post just made me drool and the need to share with my frens about this awesome feast. I know that Park Royal has an awesome crab fest annually and this would be a great opportunity for me to experience a sneak preview before June comes(:
Would love to try the Thai Basil Crayfish ! Sweet & Spicy, *slurps*
Need a feast on crayfish & crab to fuel me for endless work ahead
))
I would looove to have BLACK PEPPER CRAB! ^^
Most of us in my family loves crab! Crab lovers !!
We all deserve to have the taste of those delicious looking mouthwatering crabs after days/weeks of hard work.
Not only that but also a day of family quality time!
Thanks again for having this contest! (:
i would like to win to try SALTED EGG YOLK CRAYFISH! i am a great fan of salted egg yolk. I like my seafood – prawns and crabs and now crayfish! i cant miss it!
I would love to try the hot bean crayfish! I have never tried something that sounds tasty and exotic just by the description of the dish. Hope to win a pair of the vouchers to try this dish and the other crayfish dishes.
I would devour them all, but starting first with the rock sugar & honey, first time I ever saw such a combination!
One of my goals in life is to try each and every type of food in the world, and hey this is one step closer to my dream
Gotta eat em’ all!
I would like to try hot bean sauce crayfish because I’m a crab lover.
I love crabs
I myself would love to try out the famous sg dish- chilli crab! Have been a fan of chilli crab since young till now, and no matter whatever new flavour comes out, i always stick with chilli crab. However, i would want to win the giveaway not for myself, but for my best friend. Crabs, crayfish, and basically seafood are like a rare delicacy to him; he loves them but doesnt have much chance to taste them, because of the financial situation his family is in. Being able to eat crabs or seafood for a meal, much less a buffet, always seems to make him as happy as like a little kid at the playground. And thats what i want to do – i want to bring him for this delicious buffet, and see the little kid in him, even for that few hours!
I want to try salted egg crab with my boyfriend as he loves salted egg! If it is nice, can bring our parents for Mothers’ Day Celebration!
Definitely the chilli crab. My family have been patronizing Melben for their chilli crab for years, might be time for a change.
As a huge fan of the amazing two seafood, crabs and crayfish, I simply cannot imagine the tastes of the above dishes, and what better way to entertain my salivating thoughts than to try them out! Definitely aiming for the salted egg yolk crayfish, the sauce looks on point that it is such a beauty, even on the picture.
I would also like to bring my other half for this as, despite her not fancying crabs, I’m sure that this buffet will change her mind for good with the amazing choices!
April is a month of feasting for me, after a 2 month vegetarian diet. And what better way is there to end my ‘grass-eating’ days than a heavenly spread of crabs and crayfish?? Really looking forward to this!
Liked and shared.. hope I’ll win it! Thank you Plaza Brassserie and Ladyironchef .
I would love to try the Rock Sugar and Honey Crayfish as well as the Salted Egg Yolk Crayfish! The Rock Sugar and Honey Crayfish sounds really interesting, as I will always think of desserts at the mention of rock sugar and honey. I really can’t wait to confuse my tongue with this unique sweet and savoury combination! I love everything with salted egg too, and Salted Egg Crayfish is a rather refreshing change from the usual Salted Egg Crab or Prawns!
I love seafood, and I am especially crazy over Crustacean! The effort required to crack/tear open those shells before getting to taste the sweet flesh makes the entire dining experience all the more satisfying! Perhaps, as a Cancerian, I just love all these shells! LOL
I hope to win the buffet dining vouchers and go gaga over the unlimited spread of shells, shells, and more shells (of the crayfishes and crabs) with my fellow makan kaki who is just as crazy as me!
My friends & I have been waiting for this since the last round in 2013. FINALLY, the CRABS have Returned!!! <3 <3 <3
I would like to try salted egg yolk crab as my mum’s a lover of salted egg! It will be great if I can bring my whole family of 3 to celebrate mother’s day!
I would want to try the chilli crayfish because I have never had it before! All the photos look so mouthwatering and I would love to try as many as I can.

The rendang crayfish combines two of my favourite things, the love of Indonesia cuisine as well as crayfish. It looks sinfully delightful and delicious. Can’t wait to bite into the succulent meat of the crayfish and indulge in the awesome rendang sauce. The chilli crayfish looks amazing too! My taste buds are tingling right now just looking at the pictures alone.
