CRAB SALAD WITH GREEN APPLE AND CAVIAR

We were impressed with the Crab Salad with Green Apple and Caviar; we thought it was a unique twist to the usual salad dishes! Topped with green apple and caviar, the salad was soft and creamy, while the green apple bits were crunchy, giving a nice contrast to the pulpy dish.

The slight sourness of the apple also helped to balance out the dish, so there was no overwhelming seafood-y smell. Big chunks of crab meat would also melt in our mouths, while the caviar added a burst of salty flavour.

SEAFOOD ON ICE

Ginger’s classic Seafood On Ice is one station that everyone loves, with heaps of delectable black mussels, prawns, flower clams and mud crabs that you can eat to your heart’s content.

We appreciated how the mud crab’s shell was already broken, so we could easily pull the meat apart. It was tender and fleshy, and when drizzled with its homemade ginger and vinegar sauce, it had a very tangy, piquant taste. It was a refreshing change from the usual savoury crab dishes.

CLAYPOT CRAB WITH PUMPKIN BROTH

Featuring the star of the show: the Claypot Crab with Pumpkin Broth. Beautifully plated in a claypot with a pumpkin puree, the claypot crab was a standout among the previous crab buffets we have been to. The broth was light on the palate, with a fragrant and rich pumpkin taste.

We enjoyed dipping the crab with the pumpkin dressing; it added an extra sweetness to the meat. This is one dish that you can continuously eat without feeling jelak.

Do note that the crab is only served during weekends, while prawns are used during the weekdays.

STIR-FRIED CRAB IN SALTED EGG SAUCE

Salted egg fanatics, you have to check out the Stir-Fried Crab in Salted Egg Sauce. This dish is different from the other typical salted egg crabs you have eaten before.

The crab is first stir-fried, resulting in a crispy crust, then coated with thick salted egg sauce. The dressing is not overly greasy nor sweet, but instead, rich and creamy and bursting with salted egg yolk flavour.

SOFT-SHELLED CRAB WITH WASABI MAYO

The Soft-Shelled Crab with Wasabi Mayo is yet another impressive creation Ginger has come up with.

The pairing of wasabi with mayo never fails. The kick of spice from the tangy wasabi elevated the sweetness of the mayo—the fire came first, then a slightly sweet, gentle aftertaste.

SINGAPORE CHILLI CRAB WITH DEEP-FRIED MANTOU

Chilli crab is an undying favourite of us locals. This traditional staple is a must-have at every family occasion! Now, you can indulge in the Singapore Chilli Crab as much as you want without feeling the pinch on your pockets.

This dish’s luscious gravy is sweet yet spicy and filled with eggs to give it that thick creaminess. The sauce is a perfect marriage with deep-fried mantous; the bun’s pillowy middle will soak up all that savoury chilli dressing!

CRAB MEAT BEE HOON

The Crab Meat Bee Hoon is one that is worth highlighting too.

Steeped in a claypot full of creamy and robust broth, the bee hoon is generously garnished with big chunks of crab meat. The noodles were flavourful and soft after absorbing all the thick sauce.

SINGAPORE CHILLI CRAB BUN

True to the crabby theme, they have come up with their own unique rendition of dim sum: Singapore Chilli Bun. Think chilli-crab inspired bao! It might look ordinary, but break it apart, and you will find that this soft steamed bao is chock full of ingredients coated in spicy sauce.

GRILLED RIVER PRAWNS WITH SAMBAL BELACHAN

Savour the Grilled River Prawns with Sambal Belachan!

Topped with spicy sambal belachan, this dish is sure to numb your tastebuds. We loved how there was a hint of char on the juicy prawns and the skin was slightly crisp, standing out from the rest of the prawn dishes here.

MISO-GLAZED SALMON WITH SPRING ONION AND BONITO FLAKES

Introducing the Roast of The Day: Miso-glazed Salmon with Spring Onion and Bonito Flakes!

The salmon had different depths of flavours: the aromatic char from its grilled skin and the sweet and savoury miso marinade. The fish was tender with a good bite, while the bonito flakes added hints of smokiness.

NOSTALGIC LOCAL DELICACIES

Take a break from the plethora of seafood dishes and stroll down the aisles – you will find some local delicacies that will definitely remind you of your childhood.

Be your own chef as you visit the DIY Rojak Station and DIY Kueh Pie Tee Station! You can also take your pick between Beef or Chicken Satay and create your own special sauce to go with it. Other homely delights also include the Singapore Laksa and Chicken Rice.

SWEET TREATS WORTH GAINING CALORIES FOR 

A buffet is incomplete without desserts. How about sweetening your meal with Ginger’s petite treats? Here, you can expect a toothsome selection of pastries ranging from cakes, crumbles, assorted nyonya kuehs and ice cream!

We are a sucker for sweet things, so we could not resist trying their Berry Crumble, which was wonderful – the crust was crispy, while the cake fluffy and airy. The berry filling was also nicely balanced with sweet and sour fruity notes. The mousse cakes were yummy as well!

This post was brought to you by Ginger at PARKROYAL on Beach Road.

From the humble streets of Chinatown to the enclave of old Kampong Glam, PARKROYAL on Beach Road’s all-day dining buffet restaurant has long been known to deliver excellent renditions of local classics. Drawing inspiration from Singapore’s rich culinary landscape, the chefs here spare no effort in preparing a sumptuous buffet spread of mega proportions.

Their all-new weekend lunch and dinner spread—happening from now until 30 April 2019—encompasses cuisine spanning the far reaches of Southeast Asia from their Indonesian-inspired Wagyu Beef with Rendang Sauce, cult favourite, Salted Egg Yolk Crab and their all-new Claypot Rock Lobster with Fish Maw Soup that’s worthy of multiple helpings. Birthed from the hands of an experienced team of chefs, this weekend spread boasts a rustic, nostalgic appeal—one delicious mouthful at a time.

If you haven’t quite gotten over the recent Chinese new year holiday, then perhaps some proper feasting is in order. And to make your weekend dining experience even better, our readers can quote “LIC25” to enjoy a 25% discount on the weekend lunch and dinner buffet!

WAGYU BEEF WITH RENDANG SAUCE

There’s much to look forward to in the meat department and the one dish that’s worth having seconds of is their Wagyu Beef with Rendang Sauce. Tender, gorgeously pink and finished with a multi-dimensional gravy, this centrepiece stunner is one that’s worthy of multiple helpings.

The Wagyu beef, in all its tender, buttery glory is perfect on its own but what really takes it to the next level is the beautifully done rendang sauce. Much less viscous than your typical rendang gravy, do not be fooled because for what this sauce lacks in thickness, it sure as heck makes up for in flavour. A whirlwind of fresh flavours, the elements of lemongrass, ginger, garlic, turmeric and chilli do well to blanket the decadent Wagyu.

ROAST DUCK

Earning its place among the variety of premium meats over at the live carving station, do not miss your opportunity to snag a piece of their Roast Duck. We were fortunate to land ourselves the thigh portion which was tender and oozing with its own natural, flavour-packed fat.

Roasted to juicy perfection, the meat is succulent and devoid of any gaminess. During cooking, the fat of beneath the outer skin is properly rendered out, resulting in a paper-thin skin that’s crispy and delicious.

SOFT SHELL CRAB WITH WASABI MAYO

As addictive as a tub of love letters, one will find it incredibly difficult to resist going back for seconds (even thirds) for these deep-fried bad boys. Coated lightly in a flavoured batter and fried to crispy perfection, these delicious morsels taste similar to seafood tempura but better. Drizzle some wasabi mayo over it for a heightened depth of flavour.

SINGAPORE CHILLI CRAB WITH DEEP FRIED MANTOU

A staple at Ginger, their rendition of chilli crab is always a crowd pleaser. With all the foundations of the iconic dish done right—from the sweet, spicy and subtly tangy sauce to the quality of the crabs that are cooked just right—it’s hard to say that their take on it is anything but delicious.

Thickened with a beaten egg, the sauce develops thick, almost spreadable consistency that is just perfect when paired with deep-fried mantou.

SALTED EGG YOLK CRAB

Buttery, creamy but above all, savoury with a subtle zing, their rendition of the ever-popular Salted Egg Yolk Crab will have you diving in for seconds. Albeit the sauce is thick, the flavour was nicely balanced and well rounded out by the aromatic curry leaves. The crab meat was sweet and firm, serving as a worthy accompaniment for the luxurious salted egg yolk sauce.

CLAYPOT ROCK LOBSTER WITH FISH MAW SOUP

New to their arsenal of crustaceans is the Rock Lobster. To best appreciate the natural flavours of their premium Rock Lobster, we highly recommend heading over the live station to get yourself a serving of their Claypot Rock Lobster with Fish Maw Soup.

Cooked à la minute, the chef heats up 3 sizeable halves in a claypot of fish maw soup. Clear and comforting, the soup is flavoured simply with Chinese cooking wine, fresh broth and fish maw.

ROCK LOBSTER IN BLACK PEPPER SAUCE

If you’d much prefer something with a tinge of heat, definitely go for the other option which sees these sweet, fleshy crustaceans cooked in a flavourful black pepper sauce alongside aromatics such as curry leaves and garlic. Aptly peppery and fragrant without overshadowing its natural flavour, this dish was well executed, pushing the potential of the otherwise mildly flavoured lobsters and giving it an edgier appeal.

STIR-FRIED HOKKIEN PRAWN NOODLE WITH OBAR LEAVES

We set pretty high standards when it comes to Hokkien mee and we’re never slow to crucify anyone who desecrates one of our all-time favourite local dishes. Fortunately for us, no nails and crosses were required this time. On the contrary, the dish was well executed and encompassed all the right qualities of a good Hokkien mee.

The wok hei aroma and flavour was apparent and the noodles were cooked to just the right consistency—moist but not saucy. The dish boasts an intense flavour of fresh prawns and pork, and the strands of egg noodles did well to absorb all of it.

DIY KUEH PIE TEE

A hugely popular Peranakan snack, one of the things we tend to repeatedly gravitate towards is their DIY Kueh Pie Tee Station. For one, the thin and crispy tart shell (known as the kueh) is fresh and the pie tee—the sweet mixture of finely diced vegetables—is soft, sweet and flavourful.

Here’s a tip on how to achieve that perfect one-biter: fill it up about three-quarters of the way with their delicious pie tee and top it off with a smidgen of sambal, a tiny drizzle of sweet sauce and a few coriander leaves. Spicy, sweet and fresh all in one bite, it’s impossible to stop at just one.

This post is brought to you by PARKROYAL on Beach Road. 

When we talk about Singapore’s culinary landscape, one of the most iconic dishes that has earned itself international acclaim is none other than the famous chilli crab. Having received approval from both locals and tourists alike, most would agree that this is a quintessential Singaporean dish not to be missed. Anyone who argues about its origins is either lying or is terribly misinformed. Period.

While many seafood restaurants in Singapore have their own renditions of this local dish, the gravy is almost always a combination of sweet, spicy and savoury flavours, accented with chilli and tomato sauce. Dig into it with your bare hands to enjoy the full experience—yes, this is a meal that is meant to be messy so don’t be shy about licking the sauce off your fingers!

Hosting your overseas friends for a meal? Here are 12 Best Chilli Crabs In Singapore to introduce to them.

TUNGLOK SEAFOOD

TungLok Seafood’s Chilli Crab is one of the restaurant’s bestsellers. The crabs are cooked to perfection and its plump flesh does not stick to the shell; the outer shell breaks easily hence allowing one to dig into the fresh crabmeat almost effortlessly.

The secret ingredient that lies in the chilli-based tomato sauce is one that gives the viscous gravy an extra oomph, and you would never have guessed that it is freshly squeezed orange juice.

BAN HENG

You may have heard of Ban Heng for their ridiculously affordable dim sum buffet but the restaurant’s rendition of Chilli Crab is one you should be taking note of. While other chilli crab recipes outside tend to be sweeter, this one is considerably spicier and it should impress those who enjoy spice.

Swimming in a subtly sweet, savoury and spicy gravy, the much-loved Chilli Crabs is a staple and we particularly love Executive Chef Low’s rendition as it is served with lots of egg stirred into the sauce mixture to give it a luscious and decadent texture.

JUMBO SEAFOOD

Before chilli crabs became ubiquitous at all the seafood restaurants in Singapore, JUMBO seafood was one of the first few to perfect this recipe. Their award-winning restaurant used to be one of the most talked about in town and continues to be one of the top choices among tourists who wish to have a taste of the Singapore chilli crab.

SPICE BRASSERIE

Spice Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road has one of the most value-for-money seafood buffet spreads in Singapore. We liked that the chefs did their own twist on the chilli crab with a thicker and spicier sauce instead of the traditional and typical Singapore-style chilli crab.

ROLAND SEAFOOD

The origins of chilli crab are widely associated with Roland Seafood restaurant as it is said that the owner’s father is the founder of the iconic Singapore Chilli Crab. Continuing on the founder’s legacy, the restaurant still serves the original recipe today and it is slightly sweeter than the ones you will find elsewhere.

NEW ITEMS FRESH OFF THE BOAT

In light of their many iconic staples, the chefs here pride themselves on their knack for creativity! Introducing modern takes on seafood items with their brand new, Baked Chlamys Nobilis with Wasabi Hollandaise Mayo and Spicy Baby Lobster Pasta with Cherry Tomatoes, you can bet that you’ll be reaching in for seconds and even thirds without hesitation.

The clams are seasoned generously with black pepper, salt and basil and baked for exactly 6 minutes before being topped with wasabi, hollandaise and a selection of fresh aromatics. 

And if you’re pining for something with a fiery kick, help yourselves to the latter option at the buffet restaurant’s Chef Station. Prepared freshly upon order, the baby lobsters boast a buttery sheen, a succulent taste and an amazing texture. 

CRABS GALORE

The Gifts of the Sea buffet features a stellar array of crab-centric dishes. Ticking all the boxes of local crab favourites such as the authentic Singapore Chili Crab, Black Pepper Crab and Salted Egg Yolk Crab.

If there’s any better reason for us to get right in with our fingers, this would be it. Expertly cooked, every crab dish promises nothing short of full-on flavour and only the freshest (and firmest) crabs.

STEAMED BAMBOO CLAM WITH MINCED GARLIC CHILI LIME

For a main that will go easy on your palates, opt for the steamed bamboo clam with minced garlic chilli lime.

Delicate, silky smooth and extremely succulent, the minced garlic chilli lime that sits on top of each bamboo clam gives an extra dimension of flavours in addition to the natural sweetness that the steamed bamboo clam carries.

WOK BRAISED LIVE SAN HAR KING PRAWNS NOODLE

Should you be looking for something more comforting yet indulgent, hop over to the live station where a chef will whip up a fragrant serving of Wok Braised Har King Prawns Noodle, a noodle dish that features ridiculously plump prawns, silky noodles and a rich herbal broth.

CHILLED SNOW CRAB CLAW

Heading straight for the snow crab claw on ice would be a fantastic way to kick-start your feast at Spice Brasserie.

Snow Crabs come with a hefty price tag but here, you can enjoy endless servings of fresh snow crab claws. We don’t know about you, but we definitely wouldn’t give this a miss even though it isn’t a hot main on its own!

ALL-TIME FAVOURITE CRABS

Get ready to get your hands dirty with a crab party!

The Salted Egg Crab is a definite crowd pleaser and one that we always go for second helpings when at Spice Brasserie. It is that consistently good. Other local favourites such as Chilli Crab are also part of the Gifts of the Sea buffet lineup.

SALTED EGG CRAB

The Salted Egg Yolk Crab was nicely doused in a rich and luscious salted egg yolk sauce that had every reason for us to lick our fingers even after we were done wiping up the succulent crab meat.

Salted egg yolk dishes are commonly found but good ones are hard to come by—we are indeed pleased to say that Spice Brasserie’s salted egg yolk crab is one that will not disappoint.

BLACK PEPPER CRAB

All hail the Singapore favourite—Black Pepper Crab. The black pepper sauce that the crab is drenched in boasts a harmonious blend of flavours—what you can expect is a subtle sweetness followed by a fiery kick of spice.

Delicious as it is, the black pepper crab does pack a potent punch of piquancy so you may wish to stick to the other equally tasty options if you aren’t one who handle spiciness well!

AUTHENTIC SINGAPORE CHILI CRAB

Chili Crab may be a dish that all Singaporeans are familiar with but the one at Spice Brasserie is one you still have to try.

The luscious chilli crab sauce is full-flavoured and we particularly love how Executive Chef Chuah didn’t go easy on the spice, ensuring the most authentic taste and nothing less.

Besides plenty of crab dishes, Spice Brasserie boasts a multitude of other seafood-centric dishes that you can look forward to.

BAKED HOKKAIDO OYSTER

The baked Hokkaido oyster is sure to please all fans of oysters—imagine slurping down creamy oysters that are flame-grilled with Hollandaise sauce.

Many may think that this is a heavy item that you’d get sick of after just one or two pieces, but the light Hollandaise sauce complemented the oysters perfectly such that the harmony of flavours left us in awe and had us reaching for a second serving.

HOMEMADE LOBSTER BAO

The chefs at Spice Brasserie has once again surprised us with their creativity by going all out to make their dishes as interesting as possible. Giving lobsters a unique and modern twist is the Homemade Lobster Bao.

Expect a generous portion of diced lobster meat mixed with swiss mushrooms and chives, enveloped within a crispy, golden-brown popiah skin. The end result? A myriad of textures present in a single dish so amazing you would regret not stuffing yourself silly with this.

STEAMED BAMBOO CLAM WITH MINCED GARLIC CHILI LIME

For a main that will go easy on your palates, opt for the steamed bamboo clam with minced garlic chilli lime.

Delicate, silky smooth and extremely succulent, the minced garlic chilli lime that sits on top of each bamboo clam gives an extra dimension of flavours in addition to the natural sweetness that the steamed bamboo clam carries.

WOK BRAISED LIVE DRUNKEN KING PRAWNS

Diners can look forward to the live stations at Spice Brasserie where freshwater prawns are caught right before being cooked, assuring that you get only the freshest catch and nothing less.

The Wok Braised Live Drunken King Prawns will impress even the most discerning of taste buds—the intense richness of the Hua Diao wine that is used for the stock boasts an unparalleled fragrance with a subtle alcohol aftertaste.

WOK BRAISED LIVE SAN HAR KING PRAWNS NOODLE

Should you be looking for something more comforting yet indulgent, hop over to the live station where a chef will whip up a fragrant serving of Wok Braised Har King Prawns Noodle in front of you.

Featuring fresh, plump prawns amidst silky smooth noodles in a bowl of rich herbal soup that is subtly sweet, this dish was a unanimous favourite. It felt like we returned home to a bowl of comforting noodles after a long day of work.

NYONYA BAKED WHOLE MACKEREL FILLET

Cooked and served whole, the Nyonya Mackerel Fillet is fresh and nothing short of flavourful. The mackerel fillet remains delicately moist despite being baked whole and we love how it is lavishly doused in Assam chilli.

The Gifts of the Sea buffet dinner is available from now until 30 September 2018 through Thursdays to Sundays. Quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy Spice Brasserie’s Gift of The Sea Buffet at S$108++ for 2 pax (U.P. S$65/ adult, S$32.50/ child) – valid until 31 August 2018.
