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.

This post was brought to you by Ginger.

Tucked away in the palatial JW Marriott Singapore South Beach is Beach Road Kitchen, a modern all-day dining establishment that aims to take diners on an epic, gastronomic journey.

Beach Road Kitchen was built in honour of the old Beach Road Market that first started out in 1873. Staying true to its roots, the place has never stopped believing in the importance of fresh produce and quality food, which is an ideology that the folks here at Beach Road Kitchen firmly believe in.

From indulgent brunch classics such as Eggs Benedict to spiced up local delights such as Lobster Laksa, this lavish brunch buffet is an epicurean feast that will be the highlight of your Sunday. There is no better way to spend a lazy day than at a sumptuous Sunday Brunch at Beach Road Kitchen.

It’s S$168++ per adult for the champagne brunch which comes with free-flow champagne, wine and beer.

On top of that, quote ladyironchef upon making your reservation to enjoy 50% OFF every second diner (terms and conditions apply) for the Sunday brunch at Beach Road Kitchen from now until 30th Dec 2019.

LOBSTER THERMIDOR AND BAKED OYSTERS

An opulent treat that you definitely should indulge yourself in is the free-flow Lobster Thermidor.

For the uninitiated, the Lobster Thermidor has its roots in France and consists of a mixture of chunks of lobster meat, egg yolks, brandy and mushrooms that are stuffed into a lobster shell, drizzled with cheese and baked to perfection.

The result is a decadently creamy ensemble packed with a medley of varying textures and flavours — the sweetness and chewiness of the lobster, the mild acidity of the brandy and the saltiness of the cheese — all come together to create a flavour bomb that will leave you gobsmacked and hankering for more.

Another must-try treat is the Baked Oysters which features briny oysters that are generously slathered in a thick layer of mash potato and then baked to a lovely golden brown. We could easily down a dozen of these!

SEAFOOD ROOM

Seafood enthusiasts, nothing can prepare you for Beach Road Kitchen’s iconic Seafood Room. This clean and white temperature-controlled alcove houses a tantalising selection of fresh seafood which includes the likes of smoked fish, sashimi and seafood on ice.

If you’re craving for some freshly-shucked oysters, you can help yourself to unlimited oysters sourced from Northern and Western France.

EGGS BENEDICT 

What is a Sunday brunch without some runny Eggs Benedicts? Eggs Benedicts are a staple of any brunch session; you can’t go wrong with a winning combination of toasted English muffins and perfectly poached eggs draped in a generous coating of hollandaise sauce.

Beach Road Kitchen has 3 variations that comes garnished with either spinach, bacon or smoked salmon. Break into the egg and watch the yolk sensually ooze out.

WHOLE ROASTED LAMB LEG 

Carnivores will be excited to chow down on this bad boy.

A whole roasted leg of lamb awaits you at Beach Road Kitchen’s Sunday Brunch and it is hard to simply walk past this massive hunk of meat. Get one of their friendly staff to help carve you a rack or two; it is quite a feat to have to tackle it all on your own.

It is undoubtedly hard to cook such a gargantuan block of meat thoroughly, but the chefs here did a phenomenal job. The lamb was incredibly tender and had a decent meat-to-fat ratio which gave every mouthful a nice, succulent bite.

CHARCOAL GRILL

A highlight of all Beach Road Kitchen’s buffet spreads is their Charcoal Grill, where diners get to select their cuts of meat and seafood and have them grilled à la minute. Look forward to a premium meat selection filled with options such as Asian Marinated Iberico Pork and Tomahawk Beef.

PIZZA FROM THE WOOD FIRED OVEN 

Standing right smack in the middle of the restaurant is the restaurant’s very own wood-fired oven that makes some of the most drool-worthy pizza out there.

Their Signature Truffle Mushroom Pizza comes highly recommended and it is coated in a copious amount of truffle oil, stracchino cheese and mushrooms.

Do try to get your hands on this slice of heaven when it comes fresh and hot out of the oven so that you can enjoy it at its peak. The edges of the pizza have a lovely char that adds texture to the chewiness of the pizza base. This is further enhanced by the glorious mess of melted cheese and truffle oil that provides the pizza with an earthy, garlicky flavour that is incredibly addictive.

CHILLI CRAB AND LOCAL SPECIALITIES

For something a little more close to home, pop by their Local Specialities station for an appetising array of Singaporean favourites. Diners get to savour classics such as Signature Chicken Rice, Crispy Pork Belly and Roast Meat.

Crustacean aficionados will also be glad to know that the buffet lineup will include the holy grail of all local seafood dishes: chilli crab. Break open those bright red pincers and tuck straight into the sweet, plump flesh that lies beneath. Don’t forget to soak up all that ambrosial chilli gravy with the deep-fried man tou!

NOODLE BAR WITH LOBSTER LAKSA 

For more live-action, head on over to The Noodle Bar where you can get yourself a hearty bowl of Asian-style noodles of your choice. We love their Laksa broth which features a rich sweet and spicy broth that hits all the right notes. You also get to dazzle up your bowl of laksa by choosing your own ingredients and noodles that are displayed neatly next to the noodle station.

An open secret is that you can pick out a lobster (or two!) from the neighbouring Seafood Room, pass it to the chef and have him cook you a sinfully good bowl of Lobster Laksa. Definitely not something you can do at most places!

CHEESE AND CHARCUTERIE 

Beach Road Kitchen takes immense pride in their Cheese and Charcuterie selection which is switched up daily. Their impressive range of cheeses will make any cheese fanatic’s heart palpitate and you can expect flavours such as Blue Cheese, Taleggio, Brie, Camembert and Savarin.

You can also pair the cheeses with some of their cold cuts that come from different regions across Europe.

CHILDREN’S CORNER 

If your little ones are fussy eaters, fret not as the buffet line has a Children’s Corner that is packed with child-friendly options such as beef sliders, chicken nuggets and pasta. There is also a children’s play area set up in a corner of the restaurant for fidgety kids who won’t stay still.

THE BAR

Don’t worry, adults, we haven’t forgotten about you! If you want a glass of bubbly to celebrate the weekends, march on over to The Bar for some drinks. You can also top up S$70++ and enjoy free-flow champagne, wine, cocktails, beer and juices.

SWEET SHOP 

Don’t stuff your face at all the other stations and forget about the dessert section. Combat all the savouriness with some sweetness at Beach Road Kitchen’s Sweet Shop, where you can feast your eyes and tastebuds on their extensive dessert display with sweets such as cakes, macaroons as well as nostalgic snacks and sweets from the heydays.

Diners can also have some fun with the chocolate fountain which dispenses a mesmerising waterfall of milk chocolate for you to dip fruits and marshmallows in.

LIVE MUSIC AND BALLOON SCULPTING 

To add to the mood, there will be live music for you to enjoy while you gorge yourself silly on all that food. There will also be a balloon sculptor for the kids who will be going around making balloons for everyone. Adults, don’t shy away if you secretly want a balloon; you can ask for one too!
