Charting a hawker-forward course to flavour town, Spice Brasserie—PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road’s all-day dining restaurant—is set to welcome an all-new spread dedicated to the very best of Singapore’s local hawker scene.

Curated by Executive Chef Robert Chan, along with his culinary brigade of seasoned chefs, diners can expect unlimited servings of local must-haves from the classic street side favourites, Oyster Omelette, zi char staple, like Marmite Chicken as well as the crowd favourite, Slipper Lobster in Black Pepper Sauce. If you’re a die-hard durian fanatic, we promise you their sweet, decadent Durian Pengat with Sticky Rice is worth every penny.

Guaranteeing a smorgasbord of mouthwatering delights all in one place and at a very reasonable price point, look no further than to Spice Brasserie from 14 February to 15 May 2019. And to spice things off even further, our readers can quote “ladyironchef” upon making a reservation to enjoy 25% off the lunch and dinner buffets.

BAK KUT TEH MEE SUA

We’ve tried many contemporary renditions of bak kut teh and our verdict is always the same; don’t mess with the quintessential foundations of the dish. Here, the chefs do well to adhere to the dish’s original recipe with their Bak Kut Teh Mee Sua, making sure to strike a good balance between peppery notes, meaty pork flavour and garlicky umami.

The broth is clear, mildly flavoured yet possesses a good body. We liked that the pork ribs were fork tender but not overly soft such that they would crumble like flaky pastry into the broth.

OYSTER OMELETTE

Crispy around the edges, eggy and tossed in a generous helping of fresh oysters, few things come close to the satisfaction that a properly cooked oyster omelette gives. The version served here differs in that they use considerably more egg in the mixture, creating an omelette that’s much fluffier and less chewy—not particularly a bad thing.

The oysters are fresh, plump and give off a nice briny flavour that goes exceptionally well with the chilli sauce served on the side.

SLIPPER LOBSTER IN BLACK PEPPER SAUCE

On weekends, look out for a series of tantalising seafood offerings packed with heady aromas and flavours that every Singaporean can identify with. Their Slipper Lobster In Black Pepper Sauce is one such offering that impressed us quite a bit.

The savoury, concentrated sauce coupled with a punchy pepper flavour nicely complements the sweet, tender lobster flesh and we are huge fans of how the lobster separates easily from its shell, a credit to its freshness and overall doneness.

MUD CRAB IN CHILLI AND PEANUT SAUCE

A rather odd pairing that left us confused at first, their Mud Crab In Chilli And Peanut Sauce strikes a surprisingly delicious balance between a sweet nutty crunch and a tangy, savoury chilli crab sauce.

Executed well, the flavours complemented one another rather nicely breathing new life into what would otherwise be an experiment-gone-wrong. Don’t be shy about slapping on a few deep-fried mantou buns to mop up the spicy, lip-smacking gravy.

MARMITE CHICKEN

Coated in a sticky Marmite-based sauce that boasts a consistency as syrupy as fudge, the Marmite Chicken—a popular zi char meat dish—is one worth loosening your belt buckle for. Period.

This divine dish sees tender pieces of chicken, coated in flour and deep-fried to golden perfection before being tossed in a syrupy marmite sauce. The result? Savoury, succulent chicken that is salty, sweet and tangy all in one. We highly recommend having this with white rice on the side.

MASALA THOSAI

To further showcase the true multicultural food scene in Singapore, diners can look forward to a repertoire of dishes spanning all corners of Southeast Asia, from their Penang Assam Laksa, Indonesian Beef Rendang and more.

Fans of Indian food can look forward to an array of Indian delights such as their Masala Thosai, cooked fresh upon order over at the live action station. Crispy on the outside and spongy on the inside, filled generously with a masala packed with intense aromas and chunks of potatoes, giving the dish body underscored by a good amount of heat.

WOK FRIED LA LA IN XO SAUCE

Shining light on hugely underrated hawker classic is their very-well-done, Wok Fried La La in XO Sauce. Spicy, fragrant and everything in between, this dish had us addicted from start to finish. The la la was fresh and like a sponge, they took on the savoury flavour of the XO sauce really well.

CRISPY FRIED SEA BASS WITH HOT AND SPICY SAUCE

Riddled with a heady aroma of tang and bright fruity notes and crisp flaky skin that just pulls apart effortlessly, the Crispy Fried Sea bass with Hot and Spicy Sauce is one centrepiece stunner that deserves top marks as well. You have to act quickly though because this dish is one that gets mopped up as soon as it exits the kitchen.

DURIAN PENGAT WITH STICKY RICE

We’re suckers for anything containing durian but what we particularly love about their Durian Pengat is the fact that despite it having a strong aroma of the fruit itself, the flavour was nice and mellow.

Sweet, the way it should be, the velvety smooth dessert boasts a buttery flavour, a reflection of the high-quality durians that they use. Served with warm sticky rice, a lightly salted coconut cream and fried tau suan, the otherwise mousse-like dessert is taken to a whole new level and after much trial and error, the chefs really nailed it.

LOCAL DESSERTS & DIY MUAH CHEE

If durian isn’t your thing, there are loads of other time-honoured treats such as Pulut Hitam, Tau Suan with fried fritters, assorted Nonya kueh, cakes and more to tickle your sweet tooth. Oh, and they even have a DIY muah chee station which is one of the buffet restaurant’s more unique attractions!

Complementing the spread is a selection of appetisers over at the seafood on ice counter, sashimi and sushi at the Japanese corner. This local hawker food feast will be going on from 14 February to 15 May 2019 and diners can quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon making reservations to enjoy 25% OFF both the lunch and dinner buffets.

Presenting a diverse and interactive dining experience, Pan Pacific Singapore’s Edge remains, till this day, one of our all-time favourite weekend brunch spots in the city.

A multifaceted buffet restaurant that goes over the edge—in every sense of the word—with 7 interactive live food theatres, 16 food stations (at least) and one epic dessert spread, Edge constantly pushes the boundaries to what most people would envision as a ‘typical’ buffet and their revamped Theatrical Sunday Champagne Brunch is no exception.

Calling all brunch lovers, come 25 March 2018, gather your family and loved ones for a refreshed selection of gourmet items that are made better with unlimited Veuve Clicquot Champagne, an all-new botanical gin bar, a new food station and even live band performances that the whole family can enjoy.

Where do we begin? Whether its Peranakan, Chinese, Japanese, Northern Indian, Singaporean and/or delights from as far as the Pacific region, champagne brunch will be redefined at Edge. And just for our readers, we are giving you the opportunity to dine like royalty without breaking the bank that much.

From 25 March to 24 June 2018, simply quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy a complimentary upgrade to unlimited Veuve Clicquot Rosé Champagne (usual price at S$208++ per diner) for diners who opt for the S$188++ unlimited Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label Champagne price, as well as a 10% discount on the S$128++ brunch price that includes unlimited fresh juices, soft drinks, coffee and tea.

WHOLE BABY LAMB TACO STATION

One station at Edge’s Sunday Brunch buffet line-up that will surely leave avid meat eaters in total awe is the whole baby lamb taco—that’s right, we literally mean a whole baby lamb.

Carved fresh upon request, the slithers of succulent lamb are first bathed in a sauce made from its own drippings before being plated and served. Upon receiving it, you can either choose to have the aromatic lamb on its own or construct your very own lamb taco using the crispy tortilla shells and various sauces and salsas.

Roasted to a gorgeous pink hue, the meat was tender and succulent beyond belief and we loved how the bright, zesty qualities of the pico de gallo salsa complemented the natural gaminess of the lamb really well.

Other than the Whole Baby Lamb Taco station, there’s a new live station which offers Shaved Chuck Roast that comes served with potato churros and a garlic aioli dip.

PREMIUM SEAFOOD ON ICE

What would a champagne brunch be without a fresh seafood station filled with fresh crustaceans and oysters?

Over at Edge, their range of fresh seafood offerings may not be vast but for what they lack in variety, they sure make up for in quality. Expect to slurp up some of the freshest seasonal oysters. The snow crab legs are amazingly sweet as well.

Fresh fish tartare and ceviche are also available should you desire something that packs a mean flavour punch.

GIANT BEEF BURGER

Get your cameras ready because this is one titan of a burger that demands to be shared on the ‘gram’. Essentially a beef burger, this Big Mac on steroids boasts a thick beef patty cooked medium-rare, slices of cheese, sweet onion relish and a layer of lettuce for some crunch.

NORTHERN INDIAN STATION

Amongst all the many food stations that have impressed us over the years, the Northern Indian station has got to be our ultimate go-to. Comprising a plethora of curries, chutneys, and tandoori offerings, this is one spread not to be missed.

The tandoori red snapper is a relatively new addition to the spread that sees a whole snapper covered entirely in spices and baked. Mildy charred on the outside with a heady aroma of toasted tandoori spices, the flesh in the middle retains its moist and flaky integrity—delicious!

SEASONAL TROLLIES SERVED TABLE-SIDE

Something unique about Edge’s champagne brunch is the seasonal trollies. Serving up fresh catches of the week—be it fish, meat or seafood—these roving trollies stop table-side and depending on how much you want, the chefs will carve up portions accordingly.

A tad similar to the practice at many an old-school dim sum restaurants, we like the excitement derived from never knowing what to expect from these roving trollies each time we visit.

DESSERT THEATRE

If you have kids, you can bet that the first stop they will be making is the desserts corner. Massive, vibrant and chockful of sweet treats, make no mistake that this is one station where parents have zero jurisdiction over their kids.

Replete with a magnificent display of cakes, tarts, puddings, jellies, chocolates, kuehs and so much more, Edge’s dessert station is undoubtedly the best around. There is even a waffle station and exclusively for their Sunday brunch, a chocolate lava cake station and a cotton candy machine as well!

No, really. The adults will go crazy too!

BOTANICAL GIN STATION

Now, this is the best part about Edge’s revamped champagne brunch—Botanical Gin Station. Gin connoisseurs, it’s as if the G&T Gods have answered your prayers with the restaurant’s very first gin bar that houses 7 different gin labels—namely the greats such as Hendricks, Monkey 47 and our personal favourite, Tanqueray No. 10.

To up your gin and tonic game, you can also pick and choose from an array of fresh ripe fruits, citrus and botanicals such as thyme, grapefruit, raspberries, strawberries and more!

UNLIMITED BEER, CHAMPAGNE & GIN

What would a gathering of friends, family or loved ones be without a little booze to get you in the right mood? For all the adults (thank God that we are legal because alcohol > playgrounds), be sure to help yourselves to endless amounts of beer, champagne, and gin.

From 25 March to 24 June 2018, don’t forget to quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy a complimentary upgrade to unlimited Veuve Clicquot Rosé Champagne (usual price at S$208++ per diner) for diners who opt for the S$188++ unlimited Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label Champagne price, as well as a 10% discount on the S$128++ brunch price that includes unlimited fresh juices, soft drinks, coffee and tea.

ENTERTAINMENT FOR ADULTS AND KIDS

There is entertainment for both adults and kids. A live band will serenade you while you luxuriate in brunch; as for the kids, a balloon artist will be going around from table to table and have balloons sculpted for every little one.

It is really more than just food and alcohol, you all!

Christmas is a wonderful time to gather with family and friends because this is the season to be jolly! Needless to say, restaurants and hotels are pulling out all stops when it comes to their festive buffets to create a memorable Christmas for everyone.

Royale—an all-day dining restaurant located at Mercure Singapore Bugis—has made it into our list as one of the best options for Christmas this year. The team behind the restaurant has prepared a sensational holiday buffet and you would be surprised by its affordable price tag.

For the entire month of December, delight yourself in ‘A Globetrotting Christmas’ buffet feast from S$48++ per adult/ S$24++ per child. The buffet features over 40 holiday recipes intertwined with Asian flavours such as Oven Baked Nonya Turkey served with Homemade Chili Sauce and Baked Honey Cinnamon Gammon Ham with Citrus Sauce.

From the succulent meat offered at ‘live’ carving stations to Western and Asian specialities and artisanal desserts, this is one festive buffet you definitely need to try! Our readers can quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy 20% off total bills for Royale’s festive buffets from 01 to 31 December 2017 (excluding Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve), 

Helmed by Royale’s Executive Chef Nicholas Sia, this over-the-top buffet spread brings you on a gastronomical journey across the continents with a specially curated menu comprising highlights like European Christmas classics, Asian delights, and even Australian-inspired dishes.

To set the festive mood right, guests will get to dine in a swanky dining hall that has been done up with baroque style furnishings.

EUROPEAN CHRISTMAS CLASSICS

You may feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices at this festive buffet but we had no problems identifying the dish we would be starting our feast with.

The Roasted Beef Sirloin with Red Wine and Mustard was hands down our favourite of the lot. Served at the carving station, Royale’s medium rare beef sirloin came in the most beautiful shade of pink. Using traditional roasting methods, the crusty-charred top layer had a hint of smokiness while the insides remain juicy and extremely tender.

Adding a tropical touch to a European delicacy for a twist, the German Pork Knuckle with Pineapple Sauce is another highlight of this buffet. Also known as Bavarian Schweinehaxen in German, the pork knuckle was roasted till it had a layer of crispy skin enveloping fork-tender pork.

The pork knuckle is good on its own but you can spice things up a little and add a few drops of pineapple sauce for an elevated taste.

Of course, you must not skip the Baked Honey Cinnamon Gammon Ham with Citrus Sauce either. The meat was tender with the right amount of saltiness and it was delicious, to say the least.

ASIAN DELIGHTS

Moving on to the Asian flavours, you’d probably be surprised to find a turkey under this category but what do you know? Royale’s Oven Baked Nyonya Turkey served with Homemade Chilli Sauce is the real deal, guys!

Turkey has always been the quintessential dish for Christmas and this is what you can expect as part of the buffet lineup as well—but not quite the way you know turkey. Those who cook will know that turkey is not one of the simplest recipes to master but Chef Nicholas at Royale nailed it.

If you are wondering where the turkey got its rich flavour from, that’s because there are seven types of Peranakan spices used to marinate the meat. And you have to pair the fragrant turkey meat with Royale’s homemade chilli sauce—a spicy concoction that reshapes our perspective of how wonderful a turkey can be.

There is a stellar fish option too if you do not want an all-meat meal. The Baked Tandoori Salmon with Mint Chutney features a smooth salmon fillet that is marinated overnight with traditional Indian spices and yoghurt before it is roasted in the oven to achieve a smouldering taste.

WESTERN AND ASIAN HOT SPECIALTIES

Beyond that, the festive buffet also offers some pretty good Western and Asian specialties—the Australian Cherry and Port Glazed Rack of Lamb is a hearty meat dish that is often eaten in Winter; the Waffles Chicken is simple but oh-so-good; then there are the Garlic and Rosemary Prawns that won us over with lightly flavoured sweet, juicy prawns; and Accordion Potatoes which is covered in copious amounts of sour cream and bacon bits.

CRAYFISH LAKSA ‘LIVE’ STATION

Head over to the Crayfish Laksa ‘live’ station for something that is good all year round; Christmas or not. The chef prepares every order a la minute so you only get the freshest, warmest bowl of noodles. The laksa broth we had was creamy, full-flavoured and was well complemented with sweet crayfish.

SEAFOOD ON ICE

No buffet spread is truly complete without fresh seafood on ice and fans of shellfish will need to know that this is where you can get free-flow oysters, mussels, prawns, crayfish and clams!

Yes, they are all included in the festive buffet line-up and this reality sure made us do a double take on the price.

FESTIVE ARTISANAL DESSERTS

Remember to save some room for Royale’s festive artisanal desserts, handcrafted by Royale’s own Pastry Chef Man. In fact, you can even watch the pastry chef in action at the ‘live’ pastry kitchen as she crafts out all the cakes and muffins daily.

Our picks include Royale’s Hazelnut Log Cake, Pandan Crème Brûlée, Cempedak Meringue Tart and Durian Puree with Vanilla Mousse.

You have to try the Pandan Crème Brûlée! Smooth egg custard infused with pandan, topped with a layer of brown sugar that is lightly torched; it is one of those successful fusion desserts that do not steer too far from its roots and has a distinct Asian touch to it without overpowering the European aspect.

If you are looking for more choices, there’s also New York Chocolate Cheese Cake, Santa Red Velvet and Snow Angel Vanilla cupcakes among others.

When it comes to impeccable dining and service standards, no one puts two and two together better than Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore’s 10 at Claymore.

This affordable buffet restaurant is among one of the most popular dining destinations in the city and is a true highlight for carnivores and just about anyone else who appreciates an endless spread of indulgent treats—from local favourites such as prawn noodles to crêpes that come with a selection of sweet toppings of your choice.

In the months of October and November, gear up for 10 at Claymore’s brand new dinner buffet lineup, themed Epicurean Treasures – Jamón Ibérico, Belon Oysters and Lobsters, that will feature a luxurious spread of Jamón Ibérico from Spain, Belon and Fine de Claire oysters from France and Boston lobsters.

These star attractions, in addition to the rest of the buffet spread, can be enjoyed at only S$98++ for 2 pax all week from 01 October to 30 November 2017 when you quote ‘Ladyironchef-Dinner Buffet’ upon making reservations. So gather your friends and family because this is one epic buffet to indulge in!

JAMÓN IBÉRICO FROM SPAIN

The newest addition to 10 at Claymore’s dinner buffet is Spain’s prized Jamón Ibérico. Deftly carved by the chefs at the restaurant’s live station, each piece is sliced super thin to ensure a melt-in-your-mouth sensation along with a robust flavour, courtesy of the magnificent marbling.

For the uninitiated, the Ibérico refers to a special breed of pig that is fed on bellotas (acorns) which are rich in oleic acid and is what gives the meat its pronounced nutty flavour. The meat of the Ibérico is high in healthy omega-3 fatty acids and is also known to lower bad cholesterol.

This specific diet for the pig results in the meat being immensely flavourful, encompassing sweet, nutty and mildly salty flavours.

Jamón Ibérico is best enjoyed at room temperature, paired with a glass of chilled fine wine, on its own or atop a slice of crusty bread. We highly recommend having it thinly sliced to be able to savour the full flavour and texture of the gorgeous pig—with such a high-fat content, the meat will literally melt on your tongue like butter!

BELON AND FINE DE CLAIRE OYSTERS

What is a buffet at 10 at Claymore without some fine oysters?

New to 10 at Claymore is the famed Belon oysters, which some refer to as European Flats. Not to be underestimated, the oddly misshapen Belons, large and plump with a distinct metallic flavour, are a real connoisseur’s oysters to be enjoyed on its own without any lemon or mignonette sauce.

Only a minuscule 5,000 Belons are pulled and sold, making them one of the rarest oysters in the world. Some may love its distinct umami taste while some may not, but nevertheless, you can be sure that they will make an impression.

Delicate in nature, special care must be taken during packing and transporting of these delicious morsels. Belon oysters must be laid on seaweed with the rounded side of their shells—also known as the oyster’s belly—facing down.

Next to the briny Belons is its sweeter and fruitier flavoured counterpart—the Fine de Claire oysters. From the fresh waters of the French Atlantic Coast, these oysters may not be as meaty but they sure leave an aromatic and lingering aftertaste that is both earthy, smooth and deliciously sweet.

BOSTON LOBSTER

10 at Claymore’s dinner buffet also sees this favourite mainstay—Boston lobsters on ice.

The sweet lobster meat is plump and oozing with delicious roe. It is best appreciated when dipped in clarified butter, with a dash of Tabasco sauce or even simply just a fresh lemon squeezed over top. Frankly, the Boston lobsters here are so fresh that they are delicious on its own.

At S$68++ per person, Epicurean Treasures – Jamón Ibérico, Belon Oysters and Lobsters is a complete multi-faceted culinary experience that will appeal to connoisseurs of all cuisines.

On top of the lavish spread, diners will also be treated to 10 at Claymore’s signature Penang favourites, other Asian delights such as sashimi and International dishes. And after the feasting is done, round off your meal with some sweet goodies at the dessert buffet line.

One of the most popular desserts made in-house are the crêpes prepared a la minute with a selection of decadent toppings, from Nutella to refreshing tropical fruits—which we strongly encourage you to leave stomach space for!

And just for Ladyironchef readers, quote ‘Ladyironchef-Dinner Buffet’ to enjoy the buffet at S$98++ for two pax. The buffet is available for dinner only from Monday to Sunday. This promotion is valid from 01 October to 30 November 2017 for dinner from 6.00pm to 10.30pm.

It goes without saying that Edge at Pan Pacific Singapore is one fantastic buffet restaurant in Singapore to get stuffed. Offering a whopping seven live food theatres as well as an extensive array of local and international delicacies inspired by umami rich flavours and sophisticated cooking techniques from the region, Edge goes above and beyond the typical hotel buffet in every sense.

The restaurant’s open concept also allows guests to observe and connect with the chefs while exploring the substantial selection that includes over a hundred dishes—talk about going above, beyond, and possibly over the “edge”.

Edge is proud to unveil several innovative new dishes inspired by Asian and Western cuisine, designed by Chef Charles who just joined the team less than a month ago.

From 07 August 2017 to 29 September 2017, our readers can quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon making reservations to enjoy this glorious new lunch promotion for two at S$90 nett (actual price: S$122.41) from Mondays to Fridays.

If you are one who enjoys over-the-top buffet spreads like us, then there is no reason why you should miss out on this amazing lunch promotion at Edge.

ALASKAN CHILLI CRAB PIZZA

The Alaskan Chilli Crab Pizza is something out of the ordinary but in a good way. Infusing an Italian classic with the iconic Singaporean favourite, Chilli Crab, Chef Charles has really presents this innovative dish. Swapping out the classic mantou bun with pizza dough, the textures really took us by surprise.

We liked that only a thin layer of the luxurious sauce was applied, so as not to overpower the whole dish. The use of Alaskan crabs was a nice touch too as the meat is much sweeter in comparison to other varieties of crab.

Traditionally, eggs are added to chilli crab sauces to fulfill two roles: to act as a thickener and to provide a more intense richness to the sauce. However, the downside is that the egg tends to become overcooked due to the residual heat in the sauce.

In this instance, an egg is cracked in the center of the pizza towards the end of the cooking process. The result is a perfectly cooked egg with a runny yolk, which when cut into, flows onto each individual slice to provide a heightened richness with each bite.

TANDOORI CHICKEN DRUMSTICK

If you are a fan of North-Indian cuisine then this tandoori dish is something you definitely need to try. The Chicken Tandoori Drumstick tastes as authentic as the ones you would expect to find in an Indian restaurant from the lovely marriage of spices, right down to the beautiful char marks that give this dish its signature smokey flavour.

NYONYA LAKSA WITH SHRIMP AND QUAIL EGGS

Those who prefer their laksa intensely rich will go mad for this. Like any good Nyonya laksa, the broth was brimming with a rich and creamy coconut flavour. The shrimp had a nice crunch to it and we thought that the quail eggs was an interesting touch as it provided a flavour burst that worked surprisingly well with the laksa gravy.

AYAM PONTEH

This dish is essentially a fermented soybean stew with chicken, mushrooms and potatoes but as simple as it sounds, it is actually one of the signature dishes of Peranakan cuisine. The one served at Edge is fragrant and brimming with both sweet and umami flavours.

CHILLED ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH CAVIAR AND KONBU

Angel hair pasta is tossed in a mixture of truffle oil, sherry vinegar and reconstituted konbu, to which, the dish is chilled and served with a generous dollop of caviar over top. The sherry vinegar brightens the overall palate by providing a mild tartness.

WHOLE TOM YUM SALMON

A fish this massive is sure to be an eye opener for any buffet spread, but what elevates this dish other than its size is the intense aroma. Classic tom yum spices such as lemongrass, chilli, lime, kaffir lime leaves, galangal and fish sauce are blended into a thick paste and plastered onto this gigantic salmon. Literally, every inch of the fish is covered in the paste making sure that the zesty and spicy flavours penetrate the flesh entirely. The coated salmon is then baked low and slow.

What is great about cooking a whole salmon in this way is that the thick spice paste coating the exterior of the fish locks in the flavours and prevents the natural fat that renders out from the fish from escaping. This, in turn, creates a secondary level of flavour and ensures that the salmon stays incredibly moist.

SEVEN OPEN CONCEPT KITCHENS OFFERING INTERNATIONAL CUISINES

The variety of dishes available here is inexhaustible. With such a wide selection ranging from Peranakan, Malay, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Singaporean and the Pacific region, there is surely something to peak any type of fancy.

In addition to the vast selection of cuisines, the restaurant features seven open concept kitchens, creating a lively atmosphere where visitors are able to watch and observe as their favourite dishes get prepared.

Be sure not to skip the Indian food station. It is one of the more popular stations at Edge, with its massive range of vegetable and meat curries as well as tandoori meats.

The team manning said station are all experienced Indian chefs who are backed by genuine passion and years of experience cooking Indian cuisine, hence explains the authenticity and standards of each dish.

We also have to give the Japanese corner a special mention because we were thoroughly impressed with the options such as the sushi spread, gigantic bowls of various don and a sashimi counter where you can choose between fresh octopus, tuna and salmon.

And of course, nobody leaves Edge without having some sweets from the dessert shrine. We will go out on a limb and say that it is one of the best dessert buffets you can find in Singapore.

As if this stunning spread could not get any better, from 07 August 2017 to 29 September 2017, our readers can quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon making reservations to enjoy this glorious new lunch promotion for two at only S$90 nett (actual price: S$122.41) from Mondays to Fridays from 12pm to 2.30pm.

J65 at Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore has done it again.

Already established as one of the best places in Singapore for affordable hotel buffet spreads, the team at J65 has curated a lineup of 5 new thematic dinner buffets which include Live Barbecue, Lobster, International, Seafood and the best of Asian flavours. Lots to delight and indulge every night of the week, we’d say.

From now until 25^th May 2017, quote ’ladyironchef’ upon making your reservation to indulge in an incredible spread of buffet dishes at S$79++ for two (U.P. S$55++ per pax) on Sundays to Tuesdays and S$99++ for two (U.P. S$65++ per pax) on Wednesdays to Saturdays. Yes, in case you are still calculating, IT IS A STEAL.

SUNDAYS & MONDAYS – INTERNATIONAL BUFFET (S$55++ PER PAX)

At S$55++ per pax, enjoy J65′s International buffet spread that takes place from 6pm to 9.30pm on Sundays and Mondays.

The spread comes with a lovely array of meats such as the roasted prime beef ribs, pork knuckles, baked whole Norwegian Salmon and barbequed pork ribs with grilled vegetables

In addition to the already glorious selection of delights, you can also enjoy unlimited helpings of Seafood Fried Rice, Seafood Porridge, Oxtail Stew with Cabernet Sauvignon, Black Pepper Lobster and the Steamed Sea Bass.

While exploring this buffet, make sure you do not bypass the Indian Corner. The Indian Corner features tasty Indian favourites such as Jinga Dum Anari, Hara Moong Dal, Paneer Lababdar, which is best enjoyed with Jeera Rice.

An international buffet is not complete without some sushi and sashimi. Though the Japanese spread is not mind-blowingly extensive, it suffices to keep us happy with the basic maki and salmon sashimi slices.

TUESDAYS – COLOURS OF ASIA BUFFET (S$55++ PER PAX)

On Tuesdays, we enjoy Colours of Asia at S$55++ per pax from 6pm to 9.30pm, where only the very best of Asian specialities are served; think Malaysian, Thai and Chinese favourites.

To start off your feasting, approach the indoor live kitchens and request for some freshly Perchik style roast beef, Bak Kut Teh, Sukiyaki, Crab Masala, Yun Nan Lamb Chop, and Stir-Fried Mussel with Spicy Broth. In addition, choose to delight in Laksa and Tandoors amongst other tasty favourites.

If you need a break from your delightful meal, take a slow stroll to the alfresco stations just outside J65, where you will be treated to the sight of freshly pulled Teh Tarik as well as live whirling and twirling of Roti Prata and Roti Jala.

You will also find a D.I.Y. Ice Kacang station located right beside the Teh-Tarik alfresco station, where you will have the opportunity to concoct your own version of one of Singapore’s favourite traditional desserts.

WEDNESDAYS – LOBSTER ROCK-N-ROLL BUFFET (S$65++ PER PAX)

To spice up your Hump Day, head down to J65 on Wednesdays between 6pm to 9.30pm. The ‘Lobster Rock-n-Roll’ is arguably our favourite themed night, and the dinner buffet spread is priced at a reasonable S$65++ per person.

That is very reasonable for so many types of lobster dishes—all you can eat!

Think Boston lobsters, mountain lobsters and slipper lobsters—all cooked in different ways and styles.

Some of the popular ones are Lobster with Spicy Lemon Ginger Sauce, Lobster with Perchik Sauce and Lobster in Chilli Crab Sauce.

However, the one lobster delight that went above and beyond was the Baked Lobster Thermidor. Baked with a generous portion of cheese after being stuffed with mushrooms, this lobster delight was so addictive and was definitely deserving of endless praise.

And you might dismiss the Lobster Bisque, but we are telling you you’d be sorry. The rich and creamy broth is flavourful and robust, with every spoonful boasting intense lobster flavours.

And how about lobster popiah? We were pleasantly surprised with how well the lobster meat tasted with the stewed turnips and sweet sauce in the popiah.

THURSDAYS – LIVE BARBEQUE BUFFET (S$65++ PER PAX)

If you are a fan of barbeque, you will fall helplessly in love with Live Barbecue which is held on Thursdays between 6pm to 9.30pm.

At S$65++ per pax, the vast selection of high-quality meats will certainly enthral even the most voracious of meat lovers.

Choose from your favourite meats or seafood that you want to have barbequed at the al fresco stations just outside J65.

Signatures not to be missed include J65′s famous Korean Pork Belly Strips, Champagne Pork Ribs and Marinated Beef Rib with Korean Paste. Likewise, a variety of fresh seafood is also available on the menu. Choose from the Grilled Slipper Lobster, Cajun Squid, Darne of Salmon and Baked Seabass with Sambal Paste

Chicken and Mutton Satay with condiments can also be found at the alfresco stations. FREE-FLOW SATAY!

The roast meats at the Hong Kong BBQ is something that J65 is very proud of, and one that we always return for. The Braised Duck is good, the Char Siew is addictive, the Crispy Pork Belly is something we can never resist, but what you cannot miss is the suckling pig which is only available during J65′s Live Barbeque buffet on Thursdays.

FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS – SEAFOOD MANIA BUFFET (S$65++ PER PAX)

Seafood Mania is held on Fridays and Saturdays from 6pm to 10pm because the weekends are meant to be luxurious!

At S$65++ per person, expect a massive line-up of seafood which includes favourites such as the King Alaskan crab, mud crab, Boston lobster, fresh prawns, mussels and clams on ice.

One dish not to be missed is Singapore’s Chilli Crab. This is undisputedly one of Singapore’s best crab dishes and is essentially crabs stir-fried in garlic, ginger, shallots, tomato paste and chilli sauce.

The best part of Seafood Mania is the live oyster station. Enjoy freshly shucked oysters all the way from France and you do not have to be shy; just eat to your heart’s content!

ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT DESSERT BUFFET

Before you overload your stomach with the goodness from the main buffet, remember to save some space for the desserts for J65 has a pretty mean dessert line-up every night.

They are on rotation, but if you are lucky, you would be treated to the freshly baked Nyonya kuehs such as the kueh lapis and the kueh dadar. If you love western desserts, you will absolutely adore the selection of chocolate éclairs and the stunning rainbow cheesecake.

There is a dessert drawer where you can pick out puddings, jellies and other jars—as much as you like. Sometimes, you would get the old school Potong ice cream too.

If you love the King of Fruits, you will be delighted to know that J65 has an excellent Durian Pengat which is a long-standing favourite since its starting days.

Once again, do remember to quote ‘ladyironchef‘ to enjoy the excellent themed dinner buffets at S$79++ for two (U.P. S$55++ per pax) on Sundays to Tuesdays and S$99++ for two (U.P. S$65++ per pax) on Wednesdays to Saturdays.

As one of our all-time favourite spots in Singapore for affordable buffet line-ups, J65 at Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore constantly surprises us with new dishes and themes that are hard to resist.

Now, you can get excited every day of the week with the themed buffet nights through the week! There are 6 different buffet themes including Crab, Beef, Lobster, Prawn, Seafood and local food.

The one thing that we really appreciate about J65′s spread is the live stations. From roasted meats to local delicacies such as oyster omelette, on top of a DIY Rojak counter and a popiah booth with chef making the popiah fresh on the spot, J65 is ever ready to impress and it has undisputedly one of the most value-for-money spreads in Singapore.

Exclusively for Ladyironchef readers only, you are entitled to a complimentary bucket of 8 fresh oysters from Sundays to Thursdays. Isn’t this an offer you would love to redeem? You have to read on then.

Getting through the work week might prove to be draining and stressful, but ending the days off with a good, hearty meal makes them more painless. J65′s Eat Through The Week has various themes, and every day sees a different theme that you can look forward to feasting on when the day comes to a close.

The one thing we really appreciate about J65 is the huge range of exemplary local dishes – of which many are mainstays in the daily line-ups.

CRAB! IT’S MONDAY…

Yea, crap. We are all not fans of Mondays.

But we are so going to chase Monday blues away with crabs. A myriad of colourful crab dishes to look forward to, including Singapore-style options such as Salted Egg Crab and Black Pepper Crab. There’s a Homemade Crab Popiah as well.

Yes, you get to enjoy all of these dishes free flow, besides the regular mainstays. We highly recommend grabbing some fresh bread from the selection of rolls to soak up the sauces and to fully enjoy the crustaceans.

TUESDAY – BEEF YOURSELF UP!

If shellfish or seafood are not up your alley, beef should be.

Beef Yourself Up! on Tuesdays will allow you to feast on an array of steaks, from Roast Rib Eye to Beef Rendang Tok to Sup Ekor (the Malaysian rendition of the Oxtail Soup).

You can also get a Tiger Beer Draft on Tuesday nights for just S$5++. Ahhh, just the sound of meats and beer is making us all stoked.

WEDNESDAY – LOBSTER ROCK ‘N’ ROLL

Wednesdays means we are halfway to the weekends. We’ve survived half the work week, and this means we should treat ourselves to lobsters – free flow, no less.

Hand Tossed Lobster Roll, Roasted Lobster Bisque and Singapore Lobster Laksa are all available for every Wednesday’s spread. Besides that, the Lobster Thermidor – baked in a creamy mixture with egg yolks and brandy – is what we would save our stomach space for.

And because it’s Ladies Night, all female diners can also enjoy a free first sampler Sangria. One-for-one Sangrias after that go for S$14++ all night long.

THURSDAY – HIS MAJESTY THE KING PRAWN

Thursdays are specially reserved for all you people who love prawns. Eat to your heart’s content with prawn dishes such as Baked Sea Salt King Prawns, Wasabi Prawns, Claypot Live Prawns in Herbal Broth and Penang Prawn Mee.

Not forgetting the ever popular Salted Egg Yolk Prawns, of course. J65′s rendition is de-shelled, coated in a nice batter before being deep fried. Big, crunchy prawns are lavishly covered in luscious salted egg yolk sauce, sporting a subtle spiciness in every bite.

The regular buffet spread also includes fresh prawns on ice that you can enjoy on its own.

FRIDAY & SATURDAY – HOOKED! SEAFOOD MANIA

Oh yes, we’ve made it through the week, and we shall celebrate TGIF with Hooked! Seafood Mania – available on both Fridays and Saturdays.

Look forward to a selection of fresh seafood options, including Fin de Claire oysters, lobsters, crabs, prawns and scallops. All of these fresh seafood on ice are available free flow and that only means we can eat all we want, as much as we want – all at one price!

SUNDAY – LET’S GO LOCAL

With a new week on the horizon, we need nothing more than comfort. And that’s when J65′s acclaimed local delicacies will do the trick.

Pig out with a localised spread that includes Lamb Briyani, Chef’s Signature Popiah, Fried Oyster Omelette and Teochew Braised Duck. The oyster omelette is prepared at the live station a la minute style, and it comes a special homemade chilli sauce that is super addictive.

At the Popiah station, you can choose to roll one for yourself or get the chef to get one done for you.

And no one steps out of J65 without trying their roasts and Singapore Chicken Rice. The chef has decades of experience dealing with roasts and you bet the roast duck and char siew are incredibly fragrant and tasty.

Sweet endings are in the form of a standalone dessert counter at J65. A whole area dedicated to desserts will leave you mind-boggled. We’ve been there a couple of times, but it still impresses every single time.

There is an adorable pull-out refrigerator of pretty puddings and jellies that you can choose from. We also love the floral swiss rolls that come in flavours such as rose and lavender.

Local desserts are mainstays at J65, and the culinary team puts out a tray of freshly baked Nyonya kuehs daily; think kueh lapis, kueh salat and kueh dadar.

Exclusively for Ladyironchef readers only, redeem a free bucket of oysters (8 pieces) when you make your reservations on www.hoteljen.com/bookJ65 and quote “ladyironchef” in additional comments. This offer is valid from now until 15 November 2016 for every 2 paying adults from Sundays to Thursdays only.

Can’t get enough of Sunday brunch? We have another option for you.

Oscar’s at Conrad Centennial Singapore Hotel has recently launched an awesome Sunday Champagne Brunch Buffet. The lavish spread is seriously the epitome of indulgence; we were blown away by the sheer number of gourmet delicacies.

From Boston lobsters, London duck, fresh Japanese sashimi, pan-seared foie gras to hearty Asian noodles, the Sunday Champagne Brunch Buffet at Oscar’s will complete your Sundays.

Readers of ladyironchef can quote “OscarsLIC” when making your reservations to enjoy the promotion of 1-dines-free-with-3-paying-adults.

Watch in awe as the skillful chefs shuck premium oysters before your eyes, carve aromatic suckling pigs, whip up a piping hot crepe suzette and more. It is almost as good as having a private chef attending to all your orders here at Oscar’s, except that you have an entire entourage now. Sunday Champagne Brunch experience at Oscar’s was indeed nothing short of spectacular.

We are not sure about you, but we judge a buffet line-up by its seafood spread.

How does Oscar’s fare, you may wonder. Think unlimited Boston lobsters, cherrystone clams, Chilean half-shell scallops, Indonesian crabs, king crabs, slipper lobsters, snow crab legs and freshly shucked oysters from Canada, France and Ireland. Kudos to Oscar’s for their splendid variety at the seafood bar!

The bed of sashimi is beautiful no less. There’s amberjack, octopus, squid, salmon, snapper, swordfish and tuna – on top of any special and seasonal fish.

What you definitely must not miss is the London Roast Duck.

It is the highlight of the Sunday Brunch at Conrad Centennial Singapore Hotel and most certainly our favourite. These succulent ducks are specially imported from Ireland and roasted fresh in-house every Sunday. The crispy, glistening skin and juicy, tender flesh are to die for, seriously! It was one of the best we’ve tried, and we hope we do not sound like hopeless gluttons if we told you we had at least three helpings each!

The carving station also features other roasts such as oven-roasted US Prime Rib and slow-roasted Argentinian, Mauritian or Chinese-style Suckling Pig (on rotation).

Oscar’s also has a few live stations with organic food choices. Pick from organic pasta, organic risotto and even organic eggs. The soft poached eggs with cauliflower puree, foie gras, sautéed spinach and truffle oil were absolutely amazing.

The cheese counter showcases eight types- cheddar, coulommiers, edam, goat cheese, pont-l’Évêque cheese, reblochon, saint morgan and smoked scamorza. An assortment of fresh fruits and crostini are available to complement the fine cheeses. And damn, we had so many pieces of the French cheeses!

Needless to say, nothing beats a classic cheese-and-wine pairing. Top up S$20++ for free-flowing house wines, sparkling wine and selected cocktails, or an additional S$60++ for bottomless Laurent-Perrier Brut, NV Champagne, house wines and selected cocktails.

And there is a “secret” noodle bar outside the restaurant. The hot station boasts awesome cooked-to-order Asian delights such as slipper lobster noodle with pork ribs, slow-cooked beef cheek noodles and laksa.

And you know what we had the most that day? The pan-seared foie gras served with apple, passion fruit and Fleur de sel vanilla salt. We shamelessly went back for seconds, thirds and… You get the gist. It is really THAT addictive. And what we typically have to pay S$10-20 per piece for in a la carte restaurants, we have it free flow here.

Each Sunday sees a unique interpretation of crab being showcased – an interesting extension of the various chefs’ ethnicity and background. Anticipate drool-worthy takes ala French-Asian and Vietnamese styles. Crabs in buffet are a must, right?

Well, salads don’t enjoy that great a popularity, but the 4-metre long salad bar at Oscar’s deserves your attention. Featuring over 30 toppings, 10 small plates and eight artisanal dressings, it is one fun DIY salad bar with endless possibilities. Don’t miss out on the sous vide duck breast as well!

Of course, no meal is complete without desserts. The exhaustive selection of decadent desserts includes homemade pancakes, black forest cake, green tea panna cotta and assorted pralines.

Other live stations to make a stop at are the liquid nitrogen ice-cream and flambéed crepe suzette with Cointreau or Grand Marnier stations.

Readers of ladyironchef can quote “OscarsLIC” when making your reservations to enjoy the promotion of 1-dines-free-with-3-paying-adults. Reservations are required to redeem the promotion, and cannot be combined with other offers and/or discount benefits.

This post was brought to you by Conrad Centennial Singapore Hotel.

Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore officially reopened its doors last month after a massive refurbishment, and its all-day dining restaurant J65 is quite a showstopper with its scrumptious gourmet offerings.

J65′s Sunday Brunch offers an unrivalled dining experience, and it is one of Singapore’s most value-for-money buffet spreads – at S$88 nett/pax (without alcohol), or S$128 nett/pax (with free-flowing Champagne, wine, beer and cocktails).

Tuck in to unlimited servings of superbly fresh seafood, premium Iberico ham, roast prime ribs, local dishes, endless sushi and desserts.

From now till Sunday, 28 Feb 2016, quote “ladyironchef” to be entitled to S$50* off Sunday Brunch at J65 with a minimum of two paying adults. Which brings us to our next point – our readers can utilise this offer and enjoy a stellar buffet at S$63 nett per person (if there is just two of you)!

J65 is interestingly named after Singapore’s international dialling code and the spanking new restaurant will open throughout the day and into the night.

With various themed meals taking place across the week, we have to say that it is the Sunday Brunch that will give you the biggest bang for your buck. Glorious feasts are finally made accessible to all.

One may assume that an indulgent Sunday brunch buffet at a lavish hotel lobby might cost an arm and a leg, but that is certainly not the case at Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore’s J65. At S$88 nett, you can check in to a sumptuous feast featuring endless portions of delicacies. For free flow of beer, champagne, cocktails and wine, customers only have to pay S$128 nett each.

High ceilings, live DJ performances, unlimited posh nosh and an option to top up for free-flowing champagne, red/white wines, beers and cocktails at a minimal fee? Count us in already.

In efforts to support local talents and start-ups, Sunday Brunch at J65 is always accompanied by live performances by local musicians. From the Orchard Road street busker to young and aspiring professional singers – Hotel Jen Tanglin aims to be a platform for them to showcase their passion to an international audience.

We were completely blown away by how much food was available; it was virtually infinite. J65′s Sunday Brunch allows patrons to eat and drink like they have a bottomless pit, so go on and fill your plates like a boss. The mind-boggling choice of top-notch seafood will make your money worthwhile – Boston lobsters (yes yes yes!), crabs, oysters, mussels, scallops…

Needless to say, it was the ginormous sashimi display that we could not keep our eyes off. We all know how pricey premium Japanese raw fish can be. Featuring salmon, yellow fin and tuna sashimi, this station is an absolute paradise. And yes, they are handled professionally, met all hygiene standards and are kept at optimal temperatures that are safe for consumption.

Meat lovers are far, far away from being neglected. Don’t worry, we hear you because we are the kind who would look out for the meat selections first upon stepping in.

From the signature Sunday roast prime rib, pork pate, smoked chicken breast, beef stew to foie gras terrine, J65′s comprehensive variety will keep you busy.

And we have to say that buffet lines usually do not impress with steaks/ roasts because they end up being too hard and dry from sitting around, but J65′s roast was actually still warm, tender and flavourful! It completely took us by surprise and we had seconds! Don’t forget to drizzle some Brown sauce over yours.

There is an abundance of authentic Southeast Asian classics for those with Asian-skewed palates. Most people have a misconception that local fare only taste great at hawker centres, but wait till you try J65′s chicken rice! Take a pick from beautifully steamed and gloriously roasted chicken, and they will be accompanied with Malaysian-style rice balls.

Can we also get you excited with the 6 different types of laksa? Yes, SIX – Curry Laksa, Johor Laksa, Penang Laksa, Sarawak Laksa, Singapore Laksa and Thai Laksa. No such thing as Laksa overdose because they are “same same but different”.

J65 also has a salad bar that is so complete, the health nuts will go gaga over the several remarkable creations!

You will have your nutritious salad mixes such as Wild Rice with cous cous, bell pepper and cream cheese, and the classic beetroot with pumpkin and spinach, topped with Blue Cheese.

You know what else we love about this counter? The big buckets of juice bottles that is on free flow too. Cold-pressed juices all packed and ready for your consumption – think orange and carrot. Something with a local kick? Yes, you’ve got the soya bean milk with grass jelly, or what we all endearingly know as ‘Michael Jackson’.

Cheese connoisseurs, it is your time now.

Here we go – Brie, Emmental, Gruyere Cheese, Hard Cheddar, Manchego, Morbier, Parmesan, Stilton Blue and Tete de Moine. With complementing crackers, nuts and dried fruits too.

To complete the experience is to top up for the beverage option, and spend your afternoon with unlimited pours of wines, champagne and cocktails

The dessert buffet is clearly a crowd pleaser, boasting a phenomenal line-up of sweet treats that it was as if we stumbled upon Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! No joke – this is easily one of the biggest dessert counters we’ve seen among all the Singapore Sunday brunches!

We can’t possibly name them all, and we didn’t have space to try them too. But for those that we did and loved, they are the cherry almond tart, chocolate ice-cream, oreo cheesecake, rainbow cake, yuzu mousse cake, raspberry lychee cake and Pina Colada.

A good range of nyonya kuehs are part of the repertoire, too! Kueh lapis, kueh dadar, kueh kosui… just eat!

Remember to quote “ladyironchef” to enjoy S$50* off Sunday Brunch at J65 with a minimum of two full paying adults. Note that this exclusive promotion is valid till Sunday, 28 Feb 2016.

Sunday brunch just got kicked up a notch with Hilton Singapore’s newly revamped Champagne buffet brunch special. We are telling you that this is easily among the best champagne brunches in Singapore, for the spread features only the most premium of ingredients at reasonable prices.

You bet we were awed by the array of fresh seafood, premium Australian meat cuts, gourmet European delicatessen and more. To say we were enticed by the sheer spread is an understatement. Very often, champagne brunches come with an exorbitant price tag, and for those who do not drink, paying the premium just does not make sense.

And it does not happen here at Hilton Singapore. There is an option for those who prefer to indulge in only the food at S$88++/pax, and there are two options for those who want to luxuriate further with sparkling wine, red and white wines, and champagne.

Readers of ladyironchef will be entitled to S$50 off Hilton Singapore’s Sunday brunch with a minimum of two paying adults. More details at the end of this post. Meanwhile, here are the highlights of Hilton Singapore’s Sunday Champagne Brunch.

WELCOME DRINK, SERVED TABLE-SIDE

But of course, a warm welcome first!

Alright, not really warm, but hey, we are talking about a complimentary Bloody Mary that is served table-side as a welcome drink. This pleasantly savoury drink is the perfect way to kick-start your meal here at Hilton Singapore. Think about how much a cocktail would typically cost, and you would know that you are beginning your meal with value already.

GREAT APPETISERS TO START THE BUFFET

Appetisers range from a fantastic Smorgasbord station to adorably plated small dishes. The latter really impressed us with the intricate plating, coupled with the use of premium ingredients.

Our picks are Alaskan Crab Meat with Mango Jelly, Tiger Prawn with Green Mango, Tuna Tartare with Avocado Mousse, Seafood Ceviche with Spicy Dressing and more. These spherical beauties sure whet our appetites with the freshness and clean tastes.

Not photographed here but another one you would enjoy is the gazpacho. We love our soups hot, but for gazpachos, anything goes. That refreshing, chilled tomato soup by Hilton Singapore tastes so close to the ones we’ve had in Spain.

The Smorgasbord section here is a little different – in a very good way, of course. The charcuterie will be thinly-sliced for you at the station itself, with care and precision. The meats that are included in this section range from imported whole leg of Iberico ham to Saucisson sec cured meat.

A good range of olives and pates are also available to complement the cured meats. We don’t know about you, but olives always get us all excited. There are pitted and stuffed ones here, and the chefs will gladly explain their region and preservation methods.

THE FRESHEST SEAFOOD – OYSTERS, MAINE LOBSTERS, SCALLOPS

Now, we have arrived at the truly good part and everyone’s favourite – seafood! What’s not to love about fresh premium seafood, especially when you can have them free flow? Get ready, because the spread will make your eyes pop!

Think freshly shucked oysters (3 varieties), fleshy Maine lobsters, yabbies (a type of crayfish), half-shell scallops and more.

Can we just say how much we love the oysters in particular? Most brunches or buffet spreads only serve one type of oysters, but Hilton Singapore will offer you three – the ever popular Fine de Claire, succulent Irish oysters and Pacific Oysters.

The seafood is also served alongside fresh sashimi and a sushi selection.

A LA MINUTE SELECTION

One of the reasons why we were immensely impressed by the selections here at Hilton Singapore is the a la minute selection.

The residential dish is Scotch Egg with Truffle Hollandaise Sauce. Scotch Eggs are extremely hard make, even more so to perfect it. Here at the champagne brunch, have it unlimited – all you want. The perfect runny yolk is encased in tasty and well-seasoned meat, then drizzled with fragrant black truffle hollandaise sauce.

Another a la minute dish that is also included in the brunch line-up is the egg cocotte. So hearty, so warm and the addition of savoury meats made the dish a lot more dimensional.

Well, foie gras lovers would be elated to know that pan-seared foie gras is also part of the a la minute selection – unlimited. Hilton Singapore’s version is served with an apple and passion fruit compote, and the sweet-and-sour mixture cuts through the creaminess of the piece of liver so beautifully.

INTERNATIONAL COOKED DISHES

Pizzas, Asian dishes and even beef pho? They will have you covered in this section. Grab either a Seafood or Mushrooms & Anchovies pizza. And if you want something creamy and comforting, go for the Seafood Fricasse with Bisque & Parmesan. The Pan-Fried Chilean Sea Bass with Orange & Fennel Compote sounds boring, but the sweet compote brought out the freshness of the sea bass so well, you’ll love the combination.

For the Asian dishes, dim sum is a must and Hilton Singapore offers both Custard Bun and Braised Pork Ribs, alongside wok-fried dishes such as Stir-Fried Garlic Prawns with Cilantro and Kam Heong Style Crab; bursting with flavours and wok hei, this might be where your grandparents would camp at if they prefer only Asian food.

MEATS, MEATS AND MORE MEATS

If you love  quality meat selection, you will be glad to know that Hilton Singapore’s brunch includes popular meats such as Premium Flank Steak, Lamb Chop and even Tenderloin. All cooked on an open flame charcoal grill, to your preferred doneness with a much loved smoky flavour.

ROAST MEATS 

If you like your meat roasted, fret not; like we said, there is something for everybody.

Think Herb-Roasted Baby Chicken, US Prime Rib and Roasted Pork Rack. Despite being pre-cooked roasts, the meats were not dry and we enjoyed the seasoning of herbs, salt and pepper.

AMAZING SELECTION OF CHEESES

We have never experienced a fuller cheese spread than the one here at Hilton Singapore. A selection of more than 20 cheeses are available on the cheese board, and boy were we spoilt for choice.

Any cheese lover will go gaga over this spread that includes premium selections – Parmigiano Reggano, Fromage Du Maquis, Lavort, Comte, Bleu D’Auvergene and even Persille Du Beaujolais.

… AND A BIGGER RANGE OF DECADENT DESSERTS

Our eyes lit up and our jaws dropped. Nothing screams a good dessert spread like the one at Hilton Singapore. It is literally a dessert shrine! They have even incorporated cool molecular gastronomy techniques into a blueberry meringue dessert that tasted nothing short of amazing.

Cakes are in abundance too – Chocolate Passion, Ivory Coffee, Cassis Caramel, Rainbow Cake and Red Velvet Mascarpone; quite basically a cake for any preference.

Individually-plated desserts include crème brûlée, Orange Chocolate Hazelnut, Red Wine Poached Pear with Chantilly and our favourite one – a glass cup of Sake, Cassis and Butter Sponge that had all the right flavours and textures.

FREE-FLOW CHAMPAGNE!!!

Well, of course, drink to your heart’s content if you get the champagne option. Prep yourselves; you will be treated to free flow of house pours, sparkling wine and beers. That’s some massive weekend there, huh?

Prices:
S$88++ – brunch buffet only.

S$138++ – brunch buffet and free-flow of Louis Roederer champagne, selected white and red wines and beer.

Sundays are a great time to gather with your friends and family; Sundays are fun days to tuck in to mezza9 at Grand Hyatt Singapore’s immensely popular Champagne Brunch  that features a galore of international cuisines. With Perrier Jouët Champagne, no less.

You have no idea how our eyes are always drawn to the fresh seafood section of Maine lobsters, French oysters and king prawns every single time we step in to mezza9 on Sundays. Beyond that, what never cease to amaze us are the eight other stations, each presenting a cuisine of the world. From European fare to Chinese roast meats to Japanese delights, there is certainly something for everybody here.

It is little wonder mezza9 is one of the best places in town for Champagne Brunches. Here are 10 Reasons to Love mezza9 at Grand Hyatt’s Sunday Champagne Brunch – a meal fit for the royalty.

`

#1 CHAMPAGNE & DRINKS

Besides serving the premium Perrier Jouët Grand Brut champagne, you can also ask for free-flow of white wines, red wines, beers, mojitos and bloody marys. In our book, that’s an extremely good deal.

Some bubbly sips throughout a Sunday Brunch session is always a fabulous way to live it up. Fresh juices are also made available for children, or for those who do not take alcohol. We love the dedicated corner where a chef will be ever ready to do a juice blend for you.

#2 FRESH SEAFOOD SECTION

Here comes our favourite part of the whole experience – fresh seafood on ice. These are practically the headline. Just that giant stack of Maine lobsters was enough to make our jaws drop.

Though lobsters alone suffice to please us, we were pretty distracted by the many other seafood. Scottish Brown Crab and Spencer Gulf Wild King Prawns awaited us, and boy, did we enjoy the sweet-tasting Fin de Claire oysters that were so fresh, it felt like we were having them straight out of the ocean.

You know what they said about being on a seafood diet? Yup, “I see food, and I eat. See food diet.” Damn, we love practising our favourite diet at mezza9′s Sunday Champagne Brunch!

#3 WIDE VARIETY OF CHEESES

CHEESE SHRINE.

Our eyes popped when we spotted the biggest block of brie cheese. But the best part of the shrine? The Shropshire Blue Cheese. The full-bodied, creamy and rich flavours really drove us crazy.

If you are not that big a fan of blue cheese, we suggest you go for the Brie De Meaux. It is salty, buttery, rich and so aromatic. Other cheeses available include Grana Padano and Mimolette.

#4 SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD USED IN SUSHI & SASHIMI

Something that we’ve always loved about mezza9 is their policy of using only sustainable sources. Over-fishing, deep-sea trawling and disastrous methods of fishing are some of the worst things that many fishermen do, and this results in the wipe-out of (at times) entire species, destroying habitats of all of these fishes and sea creatures in the meanwhile.

But by using only sustainable seafood, mezza9 is definitely doing their part for our beloved marine world and this gives us another reason to love them.

They offer a selection of sashimi of sustainable fishes that includes the popular salmon, tuna, amberjack and more.

#5 EXQUISITE JAPANESE YAKITORI

How about some yakitori grilled fresh on the charcoal grill in front of you? The spread features delicious Tsukune (chicken meatball), pork belly and leek, and a variety of meat skewers.

Also sitting within the yakitori section is the Grilled Yellowfin Tuna. We are typically against fully-cooked tuna, especially of an expensive cut of Ahi, but this was cooked and seasoned so well that we fell in love upon first bite – extremely well-executed.

#6 MOUTH-WATERING WOK-FRIED CHINESE DISHES

A selection of classic Chinese dishes are available, and they are usually on rotation. We had Steamed Kampong Chicken, Wok-Fried Barramundi and Wok-Fried ‘John Stone’ Beef Tenderloin; there are your favourite Chinese roast meats too! Yes, read on.

#7 DELECTABLE ROAST MEATS – WESTERN & EASTERN

This display of freshly roasted meats made us grin from ear to ear. We had a taste of roast duck and char siew, and needless to say, the chefs nailed it.

Western roasts are also available in this section. The wide range features meats such as Slow-Roasted Apricot and Prune stuffed Pork Loin, and Oven-Roasted Black Angus Short Loin. However, the star of the day was the Spit-roasted Whole Welsh Lamb.

Do note that the roasts are on rotation, and you can expect to find new surprises every week.

#8 TANTALISING MIDDLE EASTERN FARE

You hardly see good and authentic Middle Eastern fare in buffets in Singapore but here at mezza9 on Sundays, you are treated to a great variety. From dolma to kisir, this Middle Eastern section deserves your attention too.

Also look out for fresh nicoise salad, and don’t forget some sweet Spice-Baked Pumpkin Salad.

#9 THAI FOOD AND OUR FAVOURITE TOMYUM SOUP

Have you heard? mezza9 has AHMAZING Thai food. For so many years now, we have been regulars of mezza9 – for lunch, for dinner… because of the Thai food. The team of Thai chefs cook up some of the best dishes, and their tomyum soup is our all-time favourite.

It is also available during Sunday champagne brunch, alongside rotational Thai dishes.

#10 AMAZING DESSERT STATION WITH CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN

Desserts at mezza9 are delectable, and they look and taste exquisite. This counter is insane, and we swear the chefs are on a quest to turn us fat!

Blame it on our low resistance, but we always pig out more than we should here. Our favourite without a doubt? Their tiramisu. We can never ever find anything negative to say about it, except that it comes in tiny portions that just weren’t enough to satisfy our cravings.

An unexpected star of the show was the sticky date pudding that came with gooey caramel sauce, and tasted even better with a generous sprinkle of sea salt on top.

mezza9, with all that buffet line-up of yours, you are so totally ruining our diet plans, aren’t you?

Prices:
S$288.00++ (Perrier Jouët Belle Epoque, house red and white wines, Tiger and Heineken beer, Mojitos and Bloody Marys)
S$128.00++ (Non-alcoholic – includes free flowing soft drinks and coffee / tea)
S$69.00++ (Children age 5 to 12 years) No charge for children 4 years and below
*All prices are subject to change for festive occasions and special events.

The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore has unveiled an exciting new dining concept – Colony – that will excite all epicurean foodies alike. Introducing Colony with a gourmet buffet that is set to impress even the most discerning taste buds with its mouthwatering spread of Chinese, Indonesian, Indian, Malaysian, Western and local dishes. .

Now, just when you think Colony is “just another buffet line-up in Singapore”, read on and you will realize that it is like no other. Set to transport you back in time to when Singapore was founded, the culinary journey at Colony will remind you of our heritage

The eight different conservatory kitchens take centre stage at the buffet, giving it a very theatrical effect; diners can watch their food being prepared freshly in front of them and each ‘live’ station showcases one of the many different ethnic cuisines that has shaped Singapore over the past decades.

The laksa with homemade lobster balls are to die for, and we had endless helpings of the crepe suzettes. Behold, the 10 highlights of our experience at Colony.

Alluding to the voyage the British took to travel to the East Indies for trade and commerce in the eighteenth century, Colony is a culinary journey through Singapore’s heritage cuisines.

#1 THE ICE BAR

Start your meal at The Ice Bar which features a wide variety of International cheeses, nourishing salads, premium crustaceans and superior cold cuts. We were blown away by the impeccably fresh salmon sashimi and excellent foie gras terrine. You bet we had multiple servings!

From king crabs, poached ‘live’ prawns to seasonal oysters, the items at The Ice Bar are rotational but freshness and quality are top notch. And honestly, are we the only ones who couldn’t stop taking photos of the immaculate set-up and splendour of the seafood display?

#2 THE GRILL & ROTISSERIE

The Grill & Rotisserie, live kitchen showcases a delectable selection of Asian and Western meats grilled to perfection! We were drooling at the sight of the roast pork belly and our all-time favourite Hainanese chicken rice.

We were initially apprehensive and thought about giving the chicken rice a miss because we didn’t want to “waste tummy space” for something we can get easily at hawker centre. We are but human to think this way, right? BUT WE WERE WRONG. THE HAINANESE CHICKEN RICE WAS EASILY THE BEST WE HAD.

Compared to those “branded chicken rice” restaurants in Singapore; Colony’s version wins them hands down! The grains of rice – so plump and full, soaked with the essence of the chicken and perfumed with the fragrance of pandan leaves. The chilli was on point too. Best chicken rice. Period.

#3 THE STEAM BASKET

The Steam Basket comprises Asian noodles and dainty dim sums. But if you only have the stomach capacity for one dish, we suggest you dive straight for their laksa. The laksa had the entire table raving about it all night as we were impressed by its brilliant execution.

While Colony’s laksa has retained most of the traits of a traditional laksa recipe , the culinary team has cleverly used handmade lobster balls instead of the classic fish balls, for the added X-factor. By the way, if you are the kind who would pay extra at the hawker centre for more cockles, you know what? Colony uses very fresh and huge cockles for their laksa, and you are more than welcome to ask for more!

Most buffet items are on a rotational basis but Colony’s laksa is available daily as one of their signature dishes.

#4 THE WOK

Fast forward to modern Singapore and diners can enjoy local dishes such as the famous Singapore Chilli Crab, Chinese-style Braised Pork, Black Pepper Crayfish and Seafood Fried Rice with XO Sauce over at The Wok.

The extensive selection grants you the opportunity to sample a vast variety of local delights in bite-sized portions. Should you have any friends visiting Singapore for a holiday, we recommend you bring them to Colony for an ultimate feast; it is definitely a fantastic representation of Singapore as the ultimate food paradise..

#5 THE TANDOOR

Singaporean cuisine is not complete without Indian Tandoori-style dishes, and the traditional Roti Prata. Crispy on the outside and delightfully fluffy on the inside, we dare say it is one of the best we have had in a long while.

Diners can choose their Roti Prata with or without egg and the chef will whip up a piping hot serving in no time. Besides the attention-grabbing Roti Prata, diners will also be spoilt for choice – help yourselves to the assorted naans, lasooni lamb steak and prawn kali mirchi, cooked in the tandoori oven.

#6 THE FRUIT STALL

Health junkies, listen up! The Fruit Stall at the Colony offers an assortment of whole fruits and freshly pressed juices that will have you salivating in glee. Grab a refreshing “Juice of the Day” or customize your own concoction. Herein lies the fun – all you have to do is to simply pick your favourite fruits from the bar and have the server cold-press them for you in their superior Korean juicer.

We were beyond thankful for this wholesome quick fix, and the best part? Free flow.

#7 THE PATISSERIE

We know you might be stuffed by the time you are nearly done with all the mains, but as the saying goes – there is always room for dessert! With a seemingly infinite number of decadent desserts sitting prettily on the shelves, The Patisserie is truly a dessert paradise; we are pretty sure that even supermodel Adriana Lima would cave in and have the chocolate cake. We kid you not; chocolate cake is her weakness!

Apart from the chocolate cake, you should try the Strawberry Shortcake and Nonya Kueh Talam. These are available on a rotational basis though, but if you’re lucky, you know what to do.

#8 ‘LIVE DESSERT STATION’ PREPARING CREPE SUZETTE

When at Colony, you cannot miss out on the heavenly crepe suzettes! Watch the pastry chef in action as she prepares the crepes fresh upon receiving your order.

You can choose to enhance your crepes with condiments, sauces and/or ice-cream. We urge you to complement it with a scoop of Chendol and/or Gula Meleka ice-cream – these sinful treats are well worth the calories!

#9 HANDCRAFTED SPECIALTY COCKTAILS

Pamper yourselves with Colony’s handcrafted cocktails (S$22++ each) where you get to experience their resident mixologist prepare a lovely concoction right next to your table. All the cocktails in the collection, such as the Long Journey and Bengal Brew, have been designed to mirror the passage from Britain to Singapore.

The former is an adaptation of the traditional whiskey sour, where Great King Street whiskey is shaken with Irish Stout; while the latter is Earl Grey Tea and Rum mixed and pulled a la Teh Tarik-style.

#10 ELEGANT AMBIENCE

But of course, we are completely in awe of the décor and ambience of Colony and would return in a heartbeat for a stellar meal. The gorgeous contemporary East meets West interiors have been designed by award-winning designer Tony Chi and we love how the vintage maps, photographs and postcards adorn the walls and partitions. The option of booth seats also affords a greater level of privacy.

Looking for somewhere to dine for a business luncheon, romantic date or family gathering? The all-new, stunningly beautiful Colony should be next on your list.

Sunday’s the day for you to unwind and what better way to spend it than with The Westin Singapore’s Lazy Sunday Lunch Buffet at Seasonal Tastes? Choose from a wide array of fresh seafood, grilled meats and even a live pasta and noodle station.

Start your buffet at The Westin Singapore off with a range of artisanal cheeses that includes brie, mozzarella, cheddar and unique selections like the Wensleydale Cranberry Cheese. Head on to the cold-cuts section after having a pick of the cheeses and choose from meats like beef brisket, salami, pastrami and other ham cuts.

The seafood section might be your most visited station as it features cooked lobster halves, assorted shellfish and freshly shucked oysters, where you get to choose between Canadian or French oysters which both go well with the accompanying sauces. If you prefer your oysters cooked, there are options such as Garlic Butter, Kilpatrick and Rockefeller just beside the fresh oysters station.

The Smoked Coffee Salmon was an unusual and interesting dish which turned out to be an ingenious idea. Chef has carefully cured the salmon with coffee for three days to achieve a surprising but unbeatable flavour.

Move on right to The Butcher’s Shoppe after enjoying the seafood. This station is every meat-lover’s dream. Think rib-eye, striploin and sirloin steaks, pork belly, breaded chicken and duck meat all cooked a la minute when you place your order.

End your meal off with the range of desserts that will win the heart of anyone with a sweet tooth. Choose between a beautiful chocolate fondue, creative cakes such as the Burger Cake, a range of creamy gelato or pastries such as the addictive Chouquettes. Guests can also enjoy a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label at an unbeatable price of $88++.

In celebration of Singapore’s 50th birthday, PARKROYAL on Pickering is presenting Singapore’s first-ever Lobsterfest Buffet at its star restaurant, Lime. Yes, you read that right. It is eat-all-you-can lobsters, and at a very sexy environment at that!

From 1st to 17th June 2015 and every Wednesday thereafter, the culinary team led by Executive Chef Vijay will be presenting a selection of Maine Lobster dishes influenced by Asian and Western flavours, reflecting the cosmopolitan Singapore of today. Expect your favourite crustacean cooked in 8 different ways, on top of its regular international buffet spread at PARKROYAL on Pickering.

Also, the buffet comes with free flow of servings of our very own local Tiger beer as well as local drinks such as ‘Cincau’ (Grass Jelly), ‘Ma Ti Shui’ (Water Chestnut), ‘Tau Huay Shui’ (Soya Milk) and Lemongrass Tea.

The Lobsterfest Buffet at PARKROYAL on Pickering will be an extraordinary and phenomenal meal that you won’t soon forget, we promise. Here, we present the highlights of Lime’s Lobsterfest Buffet that is available only for a very limited period. You know you need that dinner.

GRILLED MAINE LOBSTER WITH GARLIC AND THYME

Nothing too complicated, nothing too messy to musk the sweetness of fresh maine lobster. Just simple garlic and thyme used to grill the lobsters, and it is a taste that you will not get sick of.

SINGAPORE STYLE CHILLI MAINE LOBSTER WITH DEEP-FRIED MANTOU

If we can have chilli crabs, we can have chilli lobsters too, yes? Hands up, Singaporean! Let’s all party with Singapore-style chilli maine lobsters! Chef Vijay’s rendition is sweet with a hint of spiciness, and of course, it is served with deep-fried mantou. Yeah, go on and help yourself to another serving. We won’t tell.

KAM HEONG STYLE MAINE LOBSTER

Our favourite flavour of all, and the one that stole all our hearts. Many ingredients go into the cooking of this popular Malaysian-Cantonese style – garlic, ginger, shallots, chilli padi, curry powder, oyster sauce, dry shrimps and curry leaves.

What you get is an explosion of flavours that miraculously blend so well together, and we couldn’t stop reaching out for more. You definitely cannot miss out on this one.

WOK-FRIED BLACK PEPPER MAINE LOBSTER WITH CURRY LEAVES

Lobster-feasting game going strong. We also have the black pepper maine lobster, an all-time favourite Singapore flavour. Wok-fried with curry leaves, this black pepper maine lobster is bound to be a hit, so be quick because the ones with fastest fingers win!

MAINE LOBSTER PAELLA

Paella has always been popular, and is an ubiquitous dish at world famous farmers markets. But only at Lime, you will enjoy paella with fresh maine lobster. The crustacean’s freshness elevates the flavour of the Spanish rice dish really well!

MAINE LOBSTER PASTA WITH SQUID INK TAGLIATELLE AND PARMAGIANO REGIANO

Italiano pasta done well, we’d say. Good ol’ squid ink pasta is made ever sweeter with fresh maine lobster, and just one portion definitely won’t do. Eat-all-you-can, right?

GRATINATED MAINE LOBSTER WITH LEMON AND TARRAGON HOLLANDAISE

If you are a fan of anything cheesy and creamy, then this one is for you. The lobsters are covered in cheese, then put to bake till the cheese melts and seeps in to the flesh, and served piping hot with a homemade lemon and tarragon hollandaise sauce if you need an extra boost of flavour.

CHEF NANCY’S NONYA LAKSA WITH MAINE LOBSTER

Just because eating laksa with ‘hum’ (cockles) is too mainstream, right? We now indulge in laksa with maine lobster. The broth is prepared nonya-style, and it is a bowl of familiar goodness with a touch of sophistication – half a maine lobster.

FREE FLOW OF BEER AND LOCAL DRINKS SUCH AS GRASS JELLY, WATER CHESTNUT, SOYA MILK AND LEMONGRASS TEA

The regular international buffet line will still be made available on top of all the crustacean offers, and you can still look forward to your usual buffet suspects – cold seafood, sashimi and sushi, salad selections, ala minute pasta station, cheese board, nonya delicacies…

And with unlimited servings of Tiger beer as well as local drinks such as ‘Cincau’ (Grass Jelly), ‘Ma Ti Shui’ (Water Chestnut), ‘Tau Huay Shui’ (Soya Milk) and Lemongrass Tea, this is one buffet that will touch every Singaporean’s heart.

Lime’s Lobsterfest is priced at SGD 98++ per person during dinner and will run daily from 1st to 17th June 2015 and every Wednesday thereafter.

Look, Ma! A ginger bread house!

Dreams do come true if you wish hard enough, and just when we thought no one could ever be Hansel and Gretel for real, we lived to see a life-size ginger bread house with so many trays of cookies, chocolates and freshly baked desserts. You see, life can be filled with miracles like that.

Our miracle happened at Edge at Pan Pacific edgefoodtheatre.com, and we can’t wait to share it with all of you! For our last installation for festive buffets this December, we present the wondrous All Things Nice – Pan Pacific’s culinary indulgences inspired by the flavours and spices of the Pacific.

With seven live food theatres and a whimsical dessert island that houses the most amazing fruit mince pies, homemade gluten-free nama chocolates and many more splendid treats, it is a lavish affair here at Edge, and here’s Why You Should Not Say No To ‘All Things Nice’ At Edge, Pan Pacific Singapore.

SEVEN LIVE FOOD THEATRES – IT IS ALL ABOUT THE SHOW AT EDGE

It is a theatrical experience over here at Edge! Seven stations in total – each whipping up a storm and providing feasts for the senses – dining at Edge is never dull and cold. Who does not love watching the great chefs in action? Big flames, bubbling pots, and carving are but a few of our favourite things to watch.

Expect soulful offerings of Chinese, Malay, Indian, Singaporean, Thai and Japanese selections, together with its signature “Pacific Cuisine” – cooking styles and flavours inspired by the Pacific region. Interact with the chefs, have them share with you about the ingredients and dishes of the day, and if you have any special requests, let them know. They will try their best to fix something for every palate.

A WELL-ROUNDED INTERNATIONAL BUFFET LINEUP

We dare promise that Edge’s buffet will satisfy everyone and guarantee an unforgettable experience. Every live food kitchen impresses. We were particularly enamoured by the Chinese roast and Japanese sushi and sashimi.

Besides these regular finds, we couldn’t stop eating the desserts. So many seasonal goodies had us camping at the dessert corner altogether, and we partied with more sweets than we could remember in a long while! You are to find out more as you read on.

INDULGE IN TRADITIONAL FESTIVE FAVOURITES

The most extensive list of yuletide delights that you can look forward to at Edge - Honey and Pineapple-glazed Gammon Ham, Special Christmas Terrines, Crispy Spice Pork Knuckle, Spiced Lamb Short Ribs, Roasted Beef Tomahawk and Traditional Roasted Turkey with Festive Trimmings. Expect several rustic side dishes like the roasted parsnip and brussel sprouts with bacon.  The buttery pumpkin soup also had our hearts – simple, but we loved the fine creaminess with sweet underlying notes of winter squash.

Then, there are the festive desserts like Aniseed Ginger Vanilla Cheese Logcake, Amarena Cherry Cheese Cake and Flourless Mascarpone Honey Chocolate Cake and Fruit Mince Pie. Need we say more?

A LIFE-SIZE GINGER BREAD HOUSE SITTING ON A DAZZLING DESSERT ISLAND

Now, we are talking. The ginger bread house is completely edible, by the way.

Edge’s impressive dessert island takes the crown for this year’s best Christmas desserts. What you are looking at is the most dazzling dessert island that is filled with Western and Asian desserts, all freshly prepared in-house daily.

Apart from chocolate fondue and homemade gelato, you will also find yourselves lost in the selection of traditional sweets like kueh lapis, an assortment of traditional kueh, as well as old-school childhood snacks like iced gem biscuit and fish biscuits.

The pretty display of festive sweets also took our breath away. Buttermilk cookies, gingerbread, mince pies, puddings… these are things that we wouldn’t say no to and we sure hope you feel the same way too!

And as if these are not impressive enough, there is also a live station for waffles and pancakes too.

Our favourite? The Nama chocolates – handcrafted by the hardworking pastry team at Pan Pacific Singapore – truly struck a chord with our taste buds.

HOMEMADE GLUTEN-FREE NAMA CHOCOLATES

It is a tough choice, but if we could only choose one reason to return to Edge, it would be the homemade gluten-free Nama chocolates that are available in three flavours – passionfruit, matcha and rum & chocolate. It is frankly as good, if not better, than the famous Japanese chocolate brand that everyone knows of and associates nama chocolates with, and we can easily eat a dozen of these pillowy-soft chocolates. Unfortunately, they are exclusive to the buffet spread, else we’d gladly take some home.

But that said, we have even more reason to eat all the nama chocolates we can. More rum-flavoured ones, please!

Because when Santa Claus comes to town, we subscribe to an unlimited calories plan and eat as many nama chocolates (and other goodies) as we want. Now, grab a pair of loose-fit jeans and feast away!

FESTIVE GOODIES FROM PACIFIC MARKETPLACE

From festive roasts including Roasted Turkey with cornbread and sausage stuffing (S$148/4.5kg) and Roasted Beef Ribeye (S$148/2kg), to traditional Christmas treats like Gingerbread Man (S$8/50g), Fruit Mince Pie (S$6/100g), and Christmas Log Cakes (S$60/1kg), Pacific Marketplace has prepared a decadent selection of festive creations for your Christmas parties at home.

No matter how much we love novelty, no matter how we always crave for something fresh and new, we are all of us creatures of familiarity, and some things/ places/ people just warm our hearts whenever we revisit them.

Seasonal Tastes at The Westin Singapore is one of them. Every return feels like going home, and we really do not mind dining there regularly because the chefs promise different experiences. The buffet line is ever-changing, with new items to excite your taste buds, and if there is something in particular that you are looking for, just let them know and they will try their best to satisfy that craving.

So, December is a special month. How can we miss out on Christmas treats at Seasonal Tastes? We heard the team had worked so hard to come up with menus that reflect the true traditions of Christmas, and we were really stoked to taste.

And boy, did they not disappoint! Indeed one of our best-loved places for buffets. Here are the various line-ups from the Christmas buffets at Seasonal Tastes, The Westin Singapore [ thewestinsingapore.com/christmasatthebay ] to expect. We are pretty sure your date will be impressed.

CHRISTMAS EVE LUNCH BUFFET

Eat away with your loved ones at Seasonal Tastes’ Christmas Eve Lunch Buffet. In addition to the regular buffet lineup, there will be festive dishes such as Pineapple-Glazed Ham, Spiced Pumpkin Pie and Snowy White Forest Yule Log.

You know what we really love? Traditional delights like the Spiced Pumpkin Pie that comforts the soul. Elegantly smooth and with a hint of spice, it is one item that we couldn’t stop at one serving. The sweetness of fresh pumpkin lingers and leaves you for more…

CHRISTMAS EVE DINNER BUFFET

Highlights of Seasonal Tastes’ Christmas Eve Dinner buffet include Lobster Au Gratin, 90-day Angus Grain-Fed Prime Rib, Goose Liver Terrine, Pan-fried Goose Liver, and an extensive selection of seafood including snow crabs, oysters, live prawns, deep-sea scallops, lobsters and crabs.

We’ve said it before and we will say it again: Seasonal Tastes has one of the most impressive dessert buffets in town and it is one that always has us looking forward. For Christmas, the pastry chef and her team will be baking Classic Christmas Yule Log, Christmas Cupcake, as well as a ‘live’ gingerbread DIY station to add to the dessert shrine. Don’t forget to get a scoop of our favourite avocado gelato, too!

CHRISTMAS DAY BRUNCH BUFFET

Wake up to Christmas and continue the feast with Christmas Day Brunch Buffet. From Prawn Thermidor and Salmon Feast (salmon prepared in four different ways: smoked, Thai cured, coffee cured, Chinese herbs), there will be plenty of food and champagne going around. Diet can wait while we celebrate Christmas. ‘Tis the season to be jolly, right?

The carnivores can indulge in a selection of the finest cuts – Angus Beef Tenderloin, Rib Eye, Striploin, T-bone Steak… Huh, what diet?

And what’s an even better idea? Book a staycation at The Westin Singapore during Christmas so that you can have as much champagne as you want and take a nap on The Westin’s Heavenly Bed after Christmas brunch. Yes, you are welcome.

THE WESTIN SINGAPORE’S CHRISTMAS TURKEY & TAKEAWAYS 2014

The good people at The Westin Singapore are really going all out to feed us. For Christmas Day Dinner Buffet, look forward to Whole Baked Snapper, Apple Honey-Glazed Turkey served with roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables, chestnut, and Classic Christmas Panettone.

New Executive chef Aaron Foster has just joined the team at The Westin Singapore and his cooking philosophy – to make food simple, and to allow the ingredients to shine through honest cooking to bring out the best flavours – is clearly shown in Seasonal Tastes’ Christmas menu this year.

Who would have thought that simple potatoes and brussel sprouts could be so addictive? Look out for Chef Aaron’s specials like the vegetarian potato gratin that is a sinful indulgent of layered potatoes with butter and cheese, and the brussel sprouts salad that is tossed in white wine vinaigrette with cheese.

And of course, you’ve got your turkey that is beautifully roasted and very tender.

THE WESTIN SINGAPORE’S CHRISTMAS TURKEY & TAKEAWAYS 2014
