Singaporeans love buffet – this is no secret, and it is in almost every Singaporean’s DNA to pig out. We are all connoisseurs in our own rights, and we have a penchant for great food, yes?
Seafood buffets are often the most popular, but more recently, we see a spike in the number of crabs and/or lobster buffets by hotels and restaurants in Singapore. Of course, these specialised line-ups got the nation all excited, and it created a whole new arena of expectations; we are now even more pampered with buffet spreads than before.
To get you started, here is a summary of all the current spreads you can look forward to if you are looking for a Crab and/or Lobster Buffet in Singapore. We are sure there will be more to come!
Over the years and especially in recent times, a new wave of mod-sin gourmet interpretations have been taking Singapore’s dining scene by storm and we are now seeing more and more unique East-meets-West creations. The terminology ‘mod-sin’ stands for modern Singaporean and refers to the interesting marriage of local delicacies and western classics, and should be a harmonious blend of flavours that complement each other.
With that simple but important focus, redpan at Marina Square – a hidden gem we fell in love with lately – has created a comprehensive menu of fusion inventions that have successfully combined the best of both worlds.
A little fun fact: redpan is an exciting collaborative venture between local architectural company DP Architects and homegrown The Food Explorer Group, who is behind Grub.
From Truffle Floss Fries, Prawn & ‘Hae Bi Hiam’ Pasta and Banana Donuts ‘Milo Dinosaur’, redpan’s menu drove us crazy and we actually cannot pick just one favourite. Well, our lunch was good and these were what we had.
You guys, it is time to head down to KFC.
We are the biggest fans of KFC since forever, and it is our favourite fast food chain for fried chicken. You might not know, but we have always worshipped Colonel Sanders and are constantly thankful he introduced the world-famous Kentucky Fried Chicken.
It is our idea of comfort food, and it does not fail in lifting our spirits. The Hot & Crispy is a classic, and though we would gladly eat it for life, the all-new Umakara Chicken is gonna distract us for two months.
We had the privilege to taste it before its launch – trust us, it was the best news we’ve received all week because #FanOfKFCForever. And if you are thinking of dismissing this, you are so gonna regret. KFC’s Umakara Chicken is the BEST seasonal flavour yet!
