This post was brought to you by HSBC.

Colony at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore is one of the most stunning restaurants in Singapore. And it is one destination that suits every occasion—business luncheons, anniversary dinners, birthday celebrations and family gatherings.

During our previous visit to Colony, we were blown away by the extensive buffet dinner spread which features seven ‘live’ kitchens. Fast forward a few months and we are back at this colonial-themed restaurant for “The Journey”—a five-tier tiffin afternoon tea (S$49++/pax) which is now available from Monday to Saturday, from 3.30pm to 5.30pm.

Lounge your afternoon away in this gorgeous setting and chit-chat over savoury delights served in a five-tier ceramic tiffin and unlimited servings of delectable desserts from The Patisserie, a complimentary flute of champagne and Colony’s custom tea blend.

Colony is where a wonderful afternoon tea journey happens. And for readers of Ladyironchef, enjoy a privileged 15% discount when you quote ‘Ladyironchef15′ upon reservation.

POSH COLONIAL-THEMED SETTING

While we loved the dim lighting and romantic setting during dinner, we were awed after stepping foot into the restaurant for the first time in the day—natural lighting shines through the mother-of-pearl glass roof and brightens up the  restaurant space.

The theme of the restaurant is set in the late 18th century when trade started flourishing in Singapore, paying tribute to the sea voyages and commercial travels by the British to the Far East. Adding to the colonial touches are a series of vintage portraits, maps, and photographs  displayed on the wall partitions.

Those who prefer a more private setting can opt for one of the dining booths perfect for  groups of two and four.

“THE JOURNEY” AFTERNOON TEA

Travel back in time through Singapore’s culinary heritage as you savour  Chinese, Western and locally inspired canapés presented in a ceramic five-tier  ”Tingkat”, the Malay word for tiffin. Journey through savoury highlights such as Steamed Charcoal Xiao Long Bao with Baby Abalone, Beef Parmentier, Mini Lobster Thermidor and Pumpkin Cake with Chilli Crab Meat Sauce.

Do note that the menu is subjected to change.

It is no secret that we love Xiao Long Bao, and we have seen quite a few creative variations of mini soup dumplings in recent years. And just when we thought we have seen it all, Colony comes up with their rendition of the Steamed Charcoal Xiao Long Bao with Baby Abalone.

A generous portion of pork filling and tasty broth are enwrapped in a delicate, black dumpling skin providing a burst of flavours at first bite. The Baby Abalone adds a premium touch to this exquisite dim sum dish.

Another star dish melding flavours from the East and West would be the Pumpkin Cake with Chilli Crab Meat Sauce. Here at Colony, the chefs have mastered the art of making rich and flavourful chilli crab sauce.

The wonderful combination of sweet and mildly spicy flavours definitely makes this a crowd-pleaser.

The Beef Parmentier is a winning combination of soft and tender beef chunks, complemented with creamy mashed potato.

With the Mini Lobster Thermidor, a classic French dish, you can enjoy a portion of succulent lobster meat drizzled in cream sauce, and baked with cheese to perfection.

There is also the Ibérico and Burrata Cheese Sandwich, a Western favourite. The intense flavour of the cured ham is well-balanced by the smooth, buttery texture of the burrata.

The best part? You get to experience this journey through various cuisines with a flute of Moët & Chandon Brut Imperial Champagne and Colony’s custom tea blend, made from  black and white Sumatran tea leaves! You can even personalise your tea with your choice of tea syrup enhancement such as French Rose, Pandan or Lavender.

The Pandan enhancement was definitely the popular choice, as all of us had several cups of tea just to pair with the fragrant Pandan enhancement.

CREPE SUZETTE STATION

A trip to Colony is never complete until you make your way to the ‘live’ crêpe suzette station. Capture the Instagram-worthy moment as the pastry chef light the pan with a torch —a dramatic instant that makes for great photos or videos.

UNLIMITED SERVINGS OF DESSERTS AT THE PATISSERIE

Though the canapés in the five-tier tiffin are not refillable, your sweet tooth will be satiated with  unlimited servings of desserts from The Patisserie in Colony.

Look out for the lemon meringue, raspberry cheesecake and mini pandan roll. There is also an assortment of Nyonya kueh, alluding to another of Singapore’s heritage cuisines.

‘The Journey’ is one of the best afternoon teas in Singapore that we’ve had this year and we are already looking forward to more tea sessions at the gorgeous Colony!

AN EXCLUSIVE 15% OFF

For all of our beloved readers of Ladyironchef, experience ‘The Journey’ with a 15% off by simply quoting ‘Ladyironchef15′ upon making your reservation. Do note that this promotion is redeemable only with a minimum of 2 diners, and it is valid from 28 November 2016 to 17 December 2016.

One of our favourite places to head to for buffets in Singapore is Colony. Located on level three of The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore, Colony is a well-appointed yet cosy restaurant offering the best of Singapore’s heritage cuisines. A dinner at Colony never disappoints.

We returned this week for Colony’s monthly “Farm To Fork” special, where monthly-exclusive dishes that are sustainable sourced, are brought right to your dining table. This promotion happens from now till June 2016.

In the month of March 2016, the featured sustainably farmed produce is the finest Irish beef by John Stone. This means that you can have free-flow quality beef steaks on top of the regular buffet spread. This is completely a steal!

And that’s not all. Quote “ladyironchef” when you make your reservation to receive a complimentary bottle of house wine for a minimum booking of 4 persons for the “Farm to Fork” promotion at Colony from Sundays to Thursdays between 21 March to 28 April 2016.

Colony (formerly Greenhouse) opened for business not too long ago in September 2015.The space still looks so new with a posh yet inviting interior whichexudes a charm that we cannot quite put into words.

Ample natural day light flows into the restaurant throughout the day, which lights up the entire area making Colony look absolutely stunning. When night falls, the space transforms into a romantic spot. We say date nights would be great here, as with gatherings of family and friends.

We love how the restaurant is segregated into various seating configurations – there are booth seats for more privacy, round tables for families, then there are long tables for bigger groups.

FARM TO FORK – IRISH BEEF

This March, enjoy some of the finest Irish beef by John Stone. Through sustainable farming practices, John Stone farmers use only locally-sourced and environmentally-friendly produced feed for their cattle. This means that the beef has lesser saturated fats which is linked to heart disease and is higher in Omega-3 and Omega-6 (healthier sources of protein), Vitamin E, among other health benefits .

Now we have even more reason to enjoy a good steak!

The meats by John Stone are all dry-aged for 28 days, using a traditional method that the John Stone brand has been using since 1975. Grilled to perfection with a lovely tenderness, the beef is available as part of Colony’s dinner buffet spread from Sundays to Thursdays this month.

There are three cuts available during this “Farm to Fork” promotion – sirloin, ribeye and tenderloin (fillet) – and the chefs are happy to have your preferred cut cooked to your choice of doneness. You can also choose to have carved servings from the pre-cooked meat platter, coupled with farm-fresh potatoes that make for a perfect steak dish.

The steaks are cooked on a charcoal grill for that nice outer char, and you can pile on the selection of side dishes such as baby carrots, maize, fries and mashed potato. We loved how juicy the meat is when done to a perfect medium rare, especially the ribeye cut. The fillet is much more ‘meaty’, hence less fatty and slightly less juicy, but still extremely tasty for anyone who loves a tenderloin cut.

In the following months to come, look forward to the monthly “Farm To Fork” specials that will include creamy homemade burrata and fresh tuna. We can’t wait to go back already!

A LAVISH SPREAD AT COLONY

The buffet dinner spread at Colony consists of 7 ‘live’ kitchens – The Ice Bar (Seafood), The Grill & Rotisserie (Meats), The Steam Basket (Hand-pulled noodles and dim dum), The Wok (Local dishes), The Tandoor (Indian delights), The Fruit Stall, and The Patisserie (Desserts).

We always go weak at the seafood spread where you can expect a multitude of fresh seafood including a selection of different oysters – from plump Irish oysters to the leaner Canadian oysters.

Yabbies, king crab legs, half shell scallops, black mussels and poached ‘live’ prawns are some of the other seafood that you can help yourself to at The Ice Bar.

We are usually unimpressed with the salad bars at hotel buffets, but the one at Colony is by far the best. The range of fresh greens aside, they offer delicious toppings that include avocado, beetroot, tuna, smoked duck, fresh prawn salad and feta cheese – on top of a whole range of dressings.

We don’t remember the last time we bothered with salads at a buffet dinner, so Colony, you win. We love your DIY salad bar so much!

LOCAL & ASIAN FLAVOURS

What too impressed us were some underdogs in the buffet spread. At The Ice Bar, you can enjoy local bites such as Kueh Pie Ti and Popiah.

Located at The Wok, the Singapore Chilli Crab is tasty with just the right amount of spice and flavour. The crabs were also plump and meaty.

Another must-try here is the Seafood Fried Rice with XO sauce.

The authentic Indian delights available at The Tandoor kitchen were so aromatic that we were drawn to it by the wonderful smell of spices. Our personal favourite was the rich Butter Chicken and the Tandoori Lobsters. The former was creamy and buttery, yet spicy – just the way we like our butter chicken curries to be. We would definitely recommend that you enjoy this dish with some naan.

While you may think that lobsters are usually grilled in Western cuisine, the brilliant chefs gave these crustaceans a delightful Indian twist with very flavourful seasoning. Voila! Tandoori Lobsters – the first we’ve tried, and nothing short of impressive!

The Steam Basket showcases the best of Singaporean and Asian delights including Colony’s signature Laksa with Homemade Lobster Ball, to Xiao Long Bao which is available at the dim sum bar.

The Lobster laksa is a classic and something that we’re sure many of you will return to Colony for With its spicy broth that has a rich coconut fragrance, complemented with huge lobster balls and cockles, this is a must-try when you dine at Colony.

You might think we are crazy for having roast meats and chicken rice at a grand buffet like this but once you have had a taste of the tender meats and fragrant rice, you will fully understand why.

The rice exudes an aroma unlike any other. Every grain is plump and coated with the fragrant essence of chicken oil. The chilli is one of the best we’ve had, and you bet the meats are well-roasted and flavourful too.

Honestly? This beats so many roast meat stalls in Singapore!

Colony is everything we want in a buffet and more – the selection is abundant and the quality of the food is top notch. It is one of those places that we will choose to return to if we don’t want uncertainty or a disappointing meal. It is also the perfect venue to bring your overseas guests to enjoy a meal, where they can enjoy a variety of local Singaporean favourites in a comfortable and sophisticated environment!

Remember to quote “ladyironchef” when you make your dinner reservations to receive a complimentary bottle of house wine for a minimum booking of 4 persons during the “Farm to Fork” promotion from Sundays to Thursdays at Colony between 21 March to 28 April 2016.

This post was brought to you by The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore.

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.
