Ginger at PARKROYAL on Beach Road has undergone a major facelift and reopened its doors, and as loyal patrons of Ginger for years, we were ecstatic to check out the refurbished space. It is gorgeous beyond words!

With Mother’s Day around the corner, this is the perfect chance to bring your Mom and family for a nice meal. Perhaps, Ginger would serve some sort of nostalgia for your parents. After all, the restaurant has been around for decades and for one, we grew up dining there.

The Mother’s Day buffet spread is also worth looking forward to, too. Now that buffet service is allowed to resume, it’s time for a great feast! From classic Asian dishes to vegan options and live stations featuring our local favourites, the woman of your life would be so pleased.

And in the month of June, Ginger is having a Father’s Day buffet which features a meaty menu including Roasted Angus Beef, Foie Gras, Hainan Oxtail Stew and more.

To sweeten the deal, from 2 May to 30 June 2021, one adult dines free with every 2 paying adults when you quote <LIC3-FOR-2> upon making your reservations.

What was once an unassuming-looking buffet restaurant that looks borderline passé is now a swanky space with a botanical-themed decor. Of pastel pink hues, custom wallpapers that feature the ginger plant, rattan fans and wooden furniture, the facelift has successfully transformed the buffet restaurant into what we would like to think is one of the prettiest buffet restaurants in Singapore right now.

With lots of natural sunlight streaming in via the floor-to-ceiling windows, the restaurant is brightly lit and boasts a cheery vibe during the day. At night, it transforms into a cosy space with its warm lights, and the rattan fans add a nostalgic charm to the otherwise modern decor. Very well thought interior design, and it makes dining there even more pleasant!

Dining restrictions have been relaxed and buffet services are allowed to resume. This is wonderful news for people like us who can’t say no to a buffet meal! At Ginger, hygiene is still of utmost concern, but to not take away the joy of a buffet meal, there are various stations where you can get unlimited helpings of your preferred dish, with the food already portioned out in plates. The rest are a la minute stations where the chefs will serve you.

GINGER’S BUFFET HIGHLIGHTS FOR DINNER & MOTHER’S DAY WEEKEND BRUNCH (1 – 31 MAY 2021)

• Coconut Trio with Bird’s Nest
• Free-Range Chicken Collagen Soup with Codfish
• Steamed Herbal Prawns
• Steamed Yellow Chicken with Local Herbs and Ginseng
• Lobster Five-Grain Porridge
• Double Boiled HuaiSan Soup
• Vegan Meatball Stew
• Vegan Satay
• Meatless Burger
• Vegan Dan Dan Noodles

For the Mother’s Day buffet, the highlight for us was the Coconut Trio with Bird’s Nest. Every diner gets one serving of this, and it can both be an appetiser and a dessert. Bird’s nest is steeped in coconut water and double-boiled for a fuller flavour, and then served cold. We slurped up every sip of it!

Another favourite was the Steamed Herbal Prawns. You know how some dishes don’t need any new interpretations? Just a traditional, honest recipe to cook something simple but well – and that is the Steamed Herbal Prawns in this case. Fresh, plump prawns are soaked in an array of herbs. Savour the delectable broth and sweet, juicy prawns.

Soup lovers will be treated to unlimited helpings of the Free Range Chicken Collagen Soup with Codfish. It is light in flavour, but oh so nutritious.

There is a hearty porridge option that both young and old will enjoy, and it’s the Lobster Five-Grain Porridge. What is otherwise just a porridge dish is elevated with the addition of lobsters, and yes, you can get unlimited helpings of this too!

There are also vegan options for the Mother’s Day buffet spread, and they include the Vegan Meatball Stew and Vegan Satay. Can we take a moment to appreciate the Vegan Meatball Stew?! They tasted fantastic and you wouldn’t even be able to tell that they aren’t actually meat. We loved the tangy tomato-based sauce so much and the texture of the roasted vegetables.

If you are looking to pamper your Dads for Father’s Day at Ginger too, here is a preview of what’s coming up in the buffet spread.

Updated on 24 Jan 2021: The White Rabbit and The Rabbit Hole will be closing for good on 30 April 2021.

Established in 2008, The White Rabbit is one of our all-time favourite romantic restaurants in Singapore. Set in a restored chapel on Dempsey Hill, the beautiful restaurant has recently got a facelift and is still gorgeous with its iconic stained glass and booth seats.

Helmed by Exec Chef Daniel Sia, The White Rabbit is well-loved for their menu of classic European Classics with a slight twist as well as an extensive boutique wine list and Gin & Tonics. It is also a fantastic spot for a weekend affair with your loved one(s), especially with its new brunch menu available on weekends and public holidays.

The White Rabbit is known for its Gin & Tonics which are garnished with herbs from its own garden and mixed with its house-made tonic. Bar manager, Andy Lim takes inspirations for his concoction from his travels and the food he eats.

Don’t we love a good Burrata? At The White Rabbit, the ball of fresh, oozy cheese is accompanied by a refreshing tomato-watermelon tartare. Even non-cheese lovers would be wowed by the light yet palatable flavours of the Burratina Salad (S$23).

Paper-thin slices of raw wagyu beef carefully prepared with olive oil, capers and lemon juice, TWR’s Wagyu Carpaccio (S$26) comes with fried Brussel sprouts for a lovely textural variety, and the dish is complete with a drizzle of truffle vinaigrette.

The Ibérico Pork Collar (S$42) was more than impressive. It features a slab of extremely tender pork collar drizzled with kelp brown butter, accompanied by a beautifully charred cabbage and a dollop of lemon purée. The contrast of flavours and textures makes this enthralling dish one to savour and we long for more.

For S$29, the Beer-battered Kühlbarra Seabass is a classic fish & chips dish that features 2 fresh slabs of white fish, accompanied with house-made tartare sauce and a mildly sweet pea purée that is a nice juxtapose to the savoury fish.

Nobody leaves The White Rabbit without having their famous Crêpe Suzette (S$22). Thin crêpe pancakes made fresh upon order is lavishly soaked in Grand Marnier and dressed with yoghurt mousse and fresh flowers.

This TWR classic used to be prepared and served table-side, but due to the pandemic, this table-side service has ceased. Nonetheless, isn’t this TWR rendition of the French dessert oh so gorgeous?

If you still have room for more desserts, go for the Dark Chocolate Caramel Tart (S$16) which comes with a scoop of yoghurt ice cream.

The Rabbit Hole is currently closed during this period but you can still enjoy a stroll in the lovely garden after your meal.

And of course, take a photo at one of the most iconic photo spots in Singapore.
