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’d like to try the salted egg crab & I’d like to bring my mum along. Reason: Simply coz I love her.
Will love to try to the salted egg yolk crab as I love anything with salted egg yolk , and i love seafood. too! Really hope to win this giveaway so that I can go during my birthday this month with my love one.It will be one of the best birthday gift for me!
chilli crab is my all time favourite..it is a must order dish whenever i go a seafood restaurant and if it is available. Of course i am beginning to love salt egg yolk crab too. I can be greedy sometimes and hence will order one of each. It will be good to share good food with my lovely family.

i love honey and rock sugar! But I’ve never heard that they goes well together and… What?! On crayfish??? I got to try this!
I wanted to try the salted egg york crab! If I win, I would spread the word to my friends and clients about the place! Who knows, I might even bring my clients there, especially the foreign ones!
I would love to try the salted egg crab! It looks really tantalizing and good that I’m salivating all over my laptop while typing this! So please let me win already!
I had tried several places for their crab, and so far nothing much has appeased my appetite. I would love to try chilli crab, as that is supposedly the Singapore’s signature dish as well.
Can’t wait to try the Thai Basil Crayfish! I’ve tried many kind of crayfish , my favorite is still garlic butter Crayfish. Hopefully one of this crayfish here will be able to overtake my number 1 favorite!
I’m so spoilt with so many choices here. Now what I just need is a big treat for me and my lovely family.
I would love to discover how the Rock Sugar and Honey Crayfish taste. I love food that is both sweet and savoury at the same time; the taste is well-balanced and distinctive. I wonder if the Rock Sugar and Honey Crayfish is sweet and savoury or sweet and sweet. Hmmm……?
omg!! with such a wide variety of preparation style, a single trip to the plaza brasserie during this period would be a great injustice to your tasting palatte. Truly what better time to indulge in the jewel of the sea then now!
Honey Rock Sugar crayfish for me, I think it will be a great dish to share with my wife as she doesn’t think a great deal of crayfish but if this is sweet as honey then it might be a great starter for her to love this dish as much as I do..
i would like to try Thai Basil Crayfish..
)
Thai food is one of my fave dishes..its simple yet very tasty.. I want to experience the dish to bring back memories of my great time in Bangkok with my best friend..
It will be fantastic if I could give my taste buds a try for the SALTED EGG YOLK CRAYFISH. I have tried salted egg yolk for crab and will be my first time for crayfish. I hope to win and bring my family along as well.
I would like to try the salted egg yolk crabs as my bff and I love salted egg and crabs very, very much. Salted eggs and crabs are an awesome combination. It will be even more awesome if I can win this so I can bring my bff for this buffet. It marks almost 16 years of our friendship. And her birthday is round the corner. =D
I’m lying if I say I only have one favourite! Everything looks freaking good….. But the favourite of my favourite will be the salted egg crayfish ~ and you should choose me because you made me crave for eating all these dishes in the middle of the night
I love Salted Egg Yolk Dumpling, prawns and moon cake! I will definitely love Salted Egg Yolk Crab too! Yummidelicious!
To add on to my previous post, when I showed my daddy all the varieties posted in this webpage, the first one that caught his eye was the Salted Egg Crab as he cannot imagine how his favorite custard salted egg filling in the ‘bao’ can be replicated ‘crab-style’.
Been wanting to try this buffet! hope i can get the giveaway and bring my loved ones there to try!
Would like to try to salted yolk crayfish and chilli crab as I think would taste good. It’s my birthday this month and it would be great if I could dine there with my family. It also brings back memories as my wedding was held in the hotel 7 years ago!
I would love to try their black pepper crab (our favourite!) together with my BFF, who has just finished her confinement period a while ago and she’s all ready to going back to indulging in seafood! Can’t wait!
I would like to try Thail Basil crayfish and curry crab.
Wow, I would like to try every one of the dishes! I mean, who can resist the spread?
Wish to have the opportunity to bring my partner (another food lover) to enjoy this spread as an appreciation for all he had done and doing for us.
Would totally love to try the salted egg yolk crayfish and the curry crab! Curry is my favourite:) My sister is a total crab lover and I definitely will bring her there:)
I would love to try the salted egg yolk crab and crayfish, simply because you can’t go wrong when it comes to salted egg yolk! But all the other available choices looks equally delectable as well! Really hope to win and bring my husband to try the sumptuous buffet for his birthday! Thanks!
My love for chilli & pepper crabs & crayfish will never change. Will be great to win this & enjoy with my soul mate as we never been there before.
I would love to try the rock sugar and honey crayfish. I’ve a tastebuds for anything spicy but would like to try this lighter taste first. Plus, rock sugar and honey sounds healthy and perfect as a starter to the rest of the buffet. Pick me!
I would love to try salted egg yolk crayfish!
Almost every year, I’ll scout for a crab theme buffet to bring my mum to since we are both crazy crabs lover. This will be a precious mother-daughter alone time since she has been busy helping to take care of my brother’s son. This new crayfish and crab buffet is great and we hope to taste new flavours like the Thai Basil crayfish but not forgetting our old classic favorite, chili crab. hope to relive our memories at plaza brasserie again!
With New Orleans as my birthplace and cooking crawfish in my soul these crawfish variations look AMAZING! I’ve run a mighty crawfish boil and party and look forward to trying these out to add to the party menu. YUM!
That salted egg yolk crayfish is really calling out to me from the screen of my ipad! I would absolutely love to try it because I love all things salted egg
liked and shared
All the salted egg crayfish and crab….my favorite.
I love park royal
Ah, too eager to submit after seeing all the pictures. To add, I would love to be chosen because my best friend and I have a yearly ritual of having seafood on the anniversary of our friendship so I really hope I can share this occasion with her at Plaza Brasserie this year.
Would absolutely love to try the Rendang Crayfish! I haven’t really come across restaurants that sells Rendang Crayfish. What a combination! And it’s my 21st birthday today, it would such a joy if I get to go to the buffet with my boyfriend this month. Oh and also because my boyfriend is a huuuuuuge fan of crab. And he eats a lot. So a crayfish and crab buffet would be perfect!
Hope to win because i can bring my crabby bff who insist because it’s her 21st birthday and it would be very shellfish if i didn’t.
^ i really really love and would like to try their salted egg ones! (:
I would love to try the salted egg yolk crab!

I am totally mesmerise by the rock sugar and honey crayfish. This is a dish that i havent tried or even hear before. Cant wait to eat it.
It’s been a very long time since my husband and i had a meal outside, let alone seafood meal, really hope to be given this opportunity to have a wonderful dinner at park royal enjoying my favourite crabs and crayfish.
Yummy!
Would love to try out hot bean crayfish because it brings back the taste of home cooked food.
because i will then be a filial girl, bringing my mum for her favourite seafood feast.
Chilli Crab & Salted Eggs Crab are our family all time favorites. My 2 sons loves it very much and hope can win this and bring them for a delicious and sumptuous dinner.
I would love to try the SALTED EGG YOLK CRAYFISH! I love salted egg yolk anything but I have not tried it with crayfish before. The only type of crayfish dish I ever eaten is probably plan old grilled ones! I would love love love to have a chance to try it with salted egg yolk… Nom nom nom!
Salted egg yolk crab!!! I’ve always loved salted egg yolk anything, plus I’ve never been to a crab and crayfish buffet before. The pictures sure look awesome!
I would love to try the rock sugar and honey crayfish. Cause it simply sounds too enticing. And the salted egg yolk crab’s a winner of all time.
Dear Brad, I would love to win this giveaway to bring my mum to have Salted Egg Yolk Crab because since young, it was a dish we could only afford once or twice a year. It was something my dad would buy takeaway from the zhi char whenever he got his year-end bonus and we would just crowd around the dinner table and share two pieces of crab generously soaked in salted egg yolk. Fondly, I can remember how my dad would ALWAYS give me the “pincher” part of the crab because it has the most crab meat and he would always peel out the meat just so it would be easier for me. It was sweet creamy and juicy but it is a memory I can’t forget. Not because the food was great but because we all don’t spend that time together anymore. It seems like I grown apart from them and I hope to win this so I could relieve the better days that we used to have.
I would like to try the Black Pepper Crab as I have tried a lot of restaurants and have not tasted the best. As I’m a seafood lover, I hope to be chosen as this buffet, I missed out last year. Thanks!
I’m a crazy fan of seafood and I would really die for this one ! Give me all your seafood and I will help to clean them all for you !
I don’t have a thing for seafood such as those common ones like prawns, octopus, squids. But when it comes to crayfish and crabs, which is the only time I get to eat during wedding dinner or Chinese New Year, I couldn’t help wanting more! However, the dish is often too expensive to keep on devouring more. I really hope I can win the vouchers this time round so that I can have a good feast with my love one, who is a fanatic of a ALL kinds of sauces. There really isn’t one type of crayfish/crab I want to choose, because I really want to try them all!!:(
