Check out our highlights from Ginger at PARKROYAL on Beach Road’s new promotion!

SEAFOOD PAELLA PAN

The undoubted star of Ginger at PARKROYAL on Beach Road’s new weekend buffet line-up is their giant paella pan of assorted seafood, simmered in a flavourful broth.

A mega pan is filled with the freshest catches—crabs, crayfish, prawns, scallops, clams, mussels, salmon and squid—all simmering in a spicy Asian broth. There will be a total of 3 broths on rotation namely, Laksa, Mee Siam and Curry Laksa – another reason for you to make trips back to Ginger!

The best way to eat these tasty morsels is to taste the sweet meat first, followed by a dip in the indulgent broth. The flavour of the broth is made so much better after melding together with the plethora of seafood.

We especially loved how juicy the crab claws were and how easily the salmon melted in our mouths. We managed to have a taste of the laksa gravy and could not help but dip our seafood in more broth with every mouthful. The hint of sweetness from the seafood definitely tantalised our tastebuds as well.

The soup base changes on a rotational basis, featuring flavours inspired by our favourite local dishes—Laksa, Mee Siam and Assam Curry. Each broth has its unique flavour but one thing is for sure and that is all of them pair impeccably well with seafood!

SEAFOOD ON ICE

The selection of Seafood on Ice features a luxurious spread of Flower Clams, Cooked Prawns, Black Mussels and Alaskan King Crab Legs.

Just add a touch of lemon and a hint of tabasco and it’s the perfect way to start off your buffet journey.

NONYA PINEAPPLE PRAWN SALAD

Vibrant and tropical, this Nonya Pineapple Prawn Salad took our taste buds for a spin. This appetiser packed a surprising punch of spice, only to be cut through with the fresh sweetness from the pineapple chunks and cucumber. Served cold, this salad was one of our favourite appetisers in Ginger at PARKROYAL on Beach Road’s new buffet spread.

DIY GADO-GADO

The new buffet lineup also includes a DIY Gado-Gado Station where you can make your own combination of the traditional Indonesian dish. The spread includes Lontong, Tempeh, Keropok Crackers, Tau Pok, Cucumber, Long Beans, Grated Peanuts, Quail Eggs, Homemade Chilli Sauce and Satay Gravy. Having that sweet peanut gravy with the crispy Keropok was ultra-satisfying!

SUGARCANE PRAWN WITH CURRY MAYO

For more indulgent appetiser options, you can try their new Sugarcane Prawn with a generous dollop of Curry-infused Mayonnaise. The prawn is lollipop-ed with a chunk of sugarcane, adding a hint of sweetness to the already juicy prawn inside the golden-brown crust.

The savoury yet tangy Curry Mayo complemented the fried lollipops of prawn wonderfully, allowing the dish to not feel too greasy on the palate.

CRISPY CHICKEN WITH ACHAR

A nice twist to a Nonya cuisine favourite, Ginger at PARKROYAL on Beach Road serves up tender chicken with sweet-and-spicy mixed vegetables.

The incredibly crispy and tender chicken, when paired with the sweet and tangy achar sauce, was indeed a match made in heaven. There was also a great chicken-to-achar ratio which really allowed the contrasting flavours to shine.

GRILLED RIVER PRAWN WITH SAMBAL BELACHAN

A staple in Ginger at PARKROYAL on Beach Road’s menu is their Grilled River Prawns. This time, it comes with a side of spicy sambal belachan that is sure to send your tastebuds into a frenzy.

The savoury taste of the prawns is well-complemented by the heat of the thick chilli paste, bearing a slightly smoky aroma from the hot grill.

CRAB WITH BAK KUT TEH BROTH IN CLAYPOT

We are sure everyone is familiar with bak kut teh, but what about Crab ‘Kut’ Teh? Crab ‘Kut’ Teh is a creative take on the local favourite by Executive Chef Vincent Aw where the pork rib is replaced by a succulent crab claw. Cooked and served in a traditional clay pot, the broth was incredibly flavourful and definitely warmed our bellies.

The broth has layers upon layers of flavour, soaking up the sweetness of the fresh crab. To fully enjoy this dish, eat a bite of the succulent crab claw and have a sip of the broth at the same time—it is one bite you will live to remember.

STIR-FRIED CRAB IN SALTED EGG YOLK SAUCE

Salted egg yolk has been a cult favourite amongst countless Singaporeans today and for good reason. If you are a fan of the ever-popular flavour, Ginger at PARKROYAL on Beach Road brings an indulgent rendition of Salted Egg Yolk Crab to the table.

Doused in a buttery glaze-like salted egg yolk sauce, each bite of crab will be savoury, sweet and with a hint of spice. It is truly an iconic way to enjoy crab.

As the crabs are on a rotational basis, you may get to enjoy other crab classics such as Black Pepper Crab and Cereal Crab depending on when you visit Ginger.

CHILLI CRAB WITH DEEP-FRIED MANTOU

It would not be a seafood buffet without ever Singaporean’s favourite flavour of crab—the Chilli Crab. Accompanied with fluffy Deep-Fried Mantou buns, the sweet-and-spicy gravy-coated crab will be a huge reason to keep coming back for more.

Be sure to not let any drop of gravy go to waste even when you finish your crab; soak it up with the mantou to fully enjoy this Singaporean classic!

DESSERTS & SWEET TREATS

Part of a journey is the end and Ginger at PARKROYAL on Beach Road serves up myriad of wonderfully sweet treats to conclude your buffet. From traditional Nonya kueh and the hot Eight Treasures dessert to the creamy Oreo Cheesecake and Durian Mousse Cake, you will definitely end off your meal with a smile.

Since Ginger at PARKROYAL on Beach Road’s opening last year, they’ve been serving up value-for-money buffet deals one after another. Famed for their stellar seafood spread, they’ve never failed to delight us. Expect nothing short of a wonderful feast of five flavours of crabs and a lobster this time around.

Crustacean lovers looking for an indulgent meal will be delighted by Ginger’s long-time popular favourites such as Black Pepper Crab, Chilli Crab, Salted Egg Yolk Crab and Pumpkin Lobster in Claypot, as well as new creations such as  Rock Salt Baked Crab—all on top of their regular buffet spread on a rotational basis. It’s an all-you-can-eat plethora of decadent premium seafood and local delights.

The Wonders of Pincers buffet line-up of signature offerings will run from now till the 30 November 2018. And you can quote ‘LIC25′ upon making your reservations for a 25% off buffet dinners. There’s no way anyone would let this chance pass by, so do make your reservations ASAP.

BLACK PEPPER CRAB

For those familiar with Ginger, you’d already know that the Black Pepper crabs are a show stopper in their own right. Its aromatic wok hei emphasizes the prominent peppery zing, leaving a lingering fiery heat on the tongue. It makes for a highly addictive mouthful that you’d just can’t help but want more of.

CHILLI CRAB

The much-loved Chilli crab is a staple in a typical local feast, and definitely so here at Ginger too. Sweet, savoury and spicy all in one, the gravy is extra rich and luscious with tons of silky egg stirred into the sauce. The savoury aroma of the sauce brings out the natural sweetness of the crab, allowing diners to appreciate the freshness of the crabs at their best.

PUMPKIN LOBSTER IN CLAYPOT

This particular recipe has won countless praises since its debut at Ginger’s live counter. With a fresh pot whipped up right as you order it, it combines the succulent texture of the lobster with herb-infused pumpkin puree to create a sweet pleasant aftertaste, leaving your taste buds begging for more.

ROCK SALT BAKED CRAB

For the slightly more health-conscious, Ginger also offers Rock Salt Baked Crab. It’s infused with ginger and Radix Angelicae Sinensis—or more commonly known as Dang Gui—which is a herb that helps to boost blood circulation. This rendition is available at the barbeque live station, where the crabs get an extra char to give it that added smokey touch.

SALTED EGG YOLK CRAB

It is, perhaps, impossible to exclude salted egg yolk from Singapore cuisine now. There’s something about the rich grainy creamy egg yolk sauce on the crabs that has every reason to borrow the phrase “finger-licking good” for itself. Along with chilli padi and curry leaves, it makes for an extremely indulgent and sinful dish.

BARBEQUE LIVE STATION

If you love the sizzling sounds and smoky aromas unique to that of an open grill, you’d love their barbeque live station.

Apart from the Rock Salt Baked Crab, there are also plenty of other delectable offerings on display. Choose from your local favourites such as otah, chicken wings and even sambal stingray! All these are cooked on the open grill in front of you in order for diners to best savour the aromatic smokey char that complements that natural taste of the dishes.

You can also think of this as a “Chomp Chomp-style feast”—free-flow.

FRESH SEAFOOD ON ICE

Seafood enthusiasts would also be delighted to know that the party doesn’t stop at just the pincer line-up. Apart from those, Ginger’s array of seafood offerings are all displayed on a bed of ice for diners to help themselves to.

From juicy sweet prawns to meaty mussels and crunchy conches, help yourselves to even more seafood!

LOCAL DELIGHTS

Ocean gems aside, the buffet spread includes plenty of other local favourites as well as regional specialities. We loved their crispy pork belly which was cut on the spot, and their prata were served hot and crispy.

If you are lucky, you will get to try the braised pig’s intestines and salted vegetables. Scoop yourself a bowl of porridge, then drizzle it with the braised sauce and a huge serving of pig’s intestines and stewed salted vegetables; this is the epitome of comfort food!

DESSERTS

Ginger might not have the most extensive spread around, but rest assured they’ve covered all grounds with a mix of both Western cakes and tarts, and Asian kuehs and sweet soup.

As “The Wonder of Pincers” is only available for a limited time till 30 November 2018, do make your reservations ASAP and quote ‘LIC25′ to enjoy a whopping 25% discount!

Spice Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road astounds us once again with their value-for-money seafood buffet spreads; this time, look forward to a shellfish buffet dinner that is aptly named Gifts of the Sea.

The Gifts of the Sea buffet features a stellar array of crustacean dishes. From local favourites such as Chili Crab and Salted Egg Yolk Crab to modern takes of seafood items such as the Lobster Bao, this is one seafood buffet to get excited about if you are feeling a little low on budget but still want a fantastic seafood meal.

From now until 31 August 2018 through Thursdays to Sundays, quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy Spice Brasserie’s Gift of The Sea Buffet Dinner at S$108++ for 2 pax (U.P. S$65/ adult, S$32.50/ child). Be greeted by the likes of a mind-boggling myriad of seafood dishes!

CHILLED SNOW CRAB CLAW

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

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

ALL-TIME FAVOURITE CRABS

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

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

SALTED EGG CRAB

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

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

BLACK PEPPER CRAB

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

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

AUTHENTIC SINGAPORE CHILI CRAB

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

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

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

BAKED HOKKAIDO OYSTER

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

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

HOMEMADE LOBSTER BAO

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

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

STEAMED BAMBOO CLAM WITH MINCED GARLIC CHILI LIME

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

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

WOK BRAISED LIVE DRUNKEN KING PRAWNS

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

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

WOK BRAISED LIVE SAN HAR KING PRAWNS NOODLE

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

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

NYONYA BAKED WHOLE MACKEREL FILLET

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

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

Back at it again with their stellar lobster and crab offerings is Ginger at PARKROYAL on Beach Road. Helmed by our friend and the maestro behind their innovative seafood-centric spread is Resident Executive Chef Low Hoe Kiat.

This season, ‘A Clawsome Seafood on Grill’ showcases an incredible spread of crustacean delights with a touch of local influences, and BBQ seafood will be added to the repertoire; think of it like dining in a sea of oceanic gems enjoying a decadent amount of premium seafood and local favourites – at an unbelievable price.

Diners looking for a hearty indulgence will be thrilled by the new Lobster and Seafood Shanghai Noodle Soup, with its robust seafood broth, topped with oceanic gems such as lobster, crab claw and scallops as well as our personal favourite, Chef Low’s piquant Braised Crab Bee Hoon that teases any palate with its aromatic wok-hei flavour.

With so many exciting lobster and crab dishes to look forward to, you’ll be insane to give this a miss. And as if this stunning buffet could not get any more enticing, our readers can quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy 25% off for both the lunch and dinner buffet from 01 April to 30 June 2018. That means you only pay S$51++ per adult for both the Weekend lunch and Daily dinner buffets!

PUMPKIN LOBSTER IN CLAYPOT

Those who are familiar with Ginger’s Lobsters & Crabs buffet would recognise Executive Chef Low’s winning recipe that won countless praises from the public. This phenomenal dish beautifully combines the succulent texture of lobsters with generous servings of pumpkin puree that has been infused with locally sourced herbs.

The consistently good pumpkin gravy is the key to its huge success and we absolutely adore the creamy, smoky taste that just further accentuates the natural sweetness of the lobster.

Diners can get their serving of Pumpkin Lobster in Claypot at the live counter where, upon request, the chefs will whip up a fresh pot right before your eyes.

BARBECUE STATION SPREAD

If you get excited by the sizzling sounds and smoky aromas that emerge as a result of freshly grilled seafood then you will be delighted by Ginger’s array of seafood offerings at its Barbecue Live Station.

Choose from a plethora of fresh seafood beginning with stingray, prawn, squid and shellfish such as clams and mussels, as well as lobsters and watch as these ocean gems are cooked à la minute on the open grill right before your eyes.

Don’t forget to slather a generous helping of Ginger’s house-made sauces and sambals that are all concocted using onions, chilli, limes, salted fish, providing a spicy and umami-packed kick to the barbecue delights.

It is truly like indulging in BBQ seafood at your favourite hawker centres, except that you are in a much more comfortable environment with airconditioning sans smoke-filled air.

CHILLI CRAB

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

Spicy but not overly heavy on tomato, the chilli crabs served here at Ginger boasts a savoury aroma and allows diners to truly appreciate the natural sweetness of the crab.

BLACK PEPPER CRAB

Reminiscent of toasted pepper corns, the Black Pepper Crab is a showstopper in its own right and is something that diners can look forward to.

Spicy with a prominent peppery flavour that lingers on the tongue, coupled with the sweet flesh of the crab, makes for one solid mouthful that we just cannot get enough of each time we visit.

BRAISED CRAB BEE HOON

One of Chef Low’s signatures and a crowd favourite is the Braised Crab Bee Hoon. Brimming with an unbelievably aromatic wok-hei flavour, this noodle dish uses a flavourful stock infused with crab; the bee hoon is hence allowed to simmer and soak up all the goodness.

Cooking it over a roaring flame also allows each individual strand of bee hoon to achieve a prominent wok-hei flavour.

OYSTER OMELETTE

Crispy around the edges yet maintaining a fluffy centre, we dare admit that the Oyster Omelette served here is one of the best we’ve had. Served with plump oysters, each bite promises a symphony of oceany, briny flavours mixed with fried eggy goodness.

BAKED SALMON

Served whole over a bed of red onions, chillies and spring onions, this colossal baked fish is baked with fresh aromatics and chillies.

The humble salmon is given a lick of local Southeast Asian flavours that are all nicely blanketed in a subtly toasted flavour. Pair it with their house-made chilli sauce!

ROAST LAMB

To satisfy your craving for red meat, be sure to tuck into their Roast Lamb. Roasted low and slow to achieve a deep crust, the pleasantly gamey lamb still retains a pinkish medium-rare hue in the middle that is both tender and flavourful.

To complement the robust and gamey qualities of the lamb, spoon over some of their house-made mint sauce.

LOCAL DELIGHTS

Crustaceans aside, the buffet spread also encompasses a wide range of locally-inspired dishes, as well as, tastes from around the region. We particularly love their Braised Pork Belly and Intestines that go marvellously well with either their plain or chicken porridge.

SWEET ENDINGS

Although not the most extensive of dessert spreads around, Ginger does well in ensuring variety—from its tarts, cakes, kuehs to sweet soups.

The strawberry tart comes highly recommended but the real crowd-pleaser is their coconut cake. Sandwiched between each layer of chiffon cake is fresh, tender coconut meat. For all the coconut lovers out there, this is something you definitely need to try.

‘A Clawsome Seafood on Grill’ is happening from 01 April to 30 June 2018. Don’t forget to quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy 25% off for both the Weekend lunch and Daily dinner buffets.

This post is brought to you by Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore.

The term ‘Peranakan’ is used to distinguish Chinese immigrants who settled down in Southeast Asia in the late nineteenth century. Males are referred to as Babas while females are called Nyonyas. Till today, the Peranakan culture is still very much alive as Singaporeans love the rich and distinctive flavours of Malay, Chinese and Indonesian cooking.

The traditional Peranakan cuisine is huge on spices, herbs and condiments so their dishes are naturally more full-flavoured and spicy as compared to the usual Chinese food. For a taste of authentic Peranakan food, you cannot go wrong at Spice Brasserie in PARKROYAL On Kitchener Road. You’d be happy to know that Executive Sous Chef Jimmy Bong is a true Baba with full Peranakan roots.

The all-new Baba and Nyonya Seafood Buffet spread will evoke nostalgia with exciting ‘live’ stations such as Cuba Lobster BBQ with Assam Manis, Crab Assam Pedas in Claypot, Chili Lime with Boiled Gong Gong and Cockle, as well as other crowd-pleasers including Salted Egg Crab and Wok-Fried Bee Hoon With Lala.

From 01 Mar to 31 May 2018, quote ‘Ladyironchef’ to enjoy Spice Brasserie’s Baba & Nyonya Seafood Dinner Buffet at S$99++ for 2 pax. This special offer is only applicable for dinner buffets on Thursdays to Sundays.

CUBA LOBSTER BBQ WITH ASSAM MANIS

Sourcing their lobsters all the way from Cuba, Spice Brasserie’s Lobster BBQ With Assam Manis sticks true to the complex flavours of Peranakan cuisine.

Boasting sweet and sour sauce with freshly diced mango cubes, this tangy, savoury-sweet indulgent treat truly heightens the sweetness of everyone’s beloved lobsters. We bet you never had lobsters with such flavours!

CRAB ASSAM PEDAS IN CLAYPOT

An all-time favourite dish among the Peranakan community is Assam Pedas. You may be able to find many Assam Pedas recipes out there but Chef Jimmy Bong’s Crab Assam Pedas in Claypot is one to look out for.

Striking the perfect balance of sourness, spiciness and sweetness, this is an immensely satisfying and addictive dish for those who have a penchant for fiery hot food in general.

CHILI LIME WITH BOILED GONG GONG & COCKLE

Lime and chili are two essential ingredients you will find in a typical Peranakan kitchen and that is exactly what you will find to complement the Boiled Gong Gong & Cockle dish at the buffet counter.

While you may think nothing of conches, what really gave it that extra oomph was actually the chili sauce given by the side. Fresh, sweet conches with a dip of the housemade dip is the sheer beauty of simplicity.

SALTED EGG CRAB

What is a seafood buffet without everyone’s favourite Salted Egg Crabs in the line-up? If you are a fan of salted egg yolk dishes just like us, you know which is the station to make a beeline for.

Just the fragrant aroma of the salted egg yolk sauce was enough to make us salivate and one bite was all it took for us to reaffirm our love for this timeless recipe. The addition of chili padi adds just a subtle hint of spiciness to enhance the overall taste.

SPRING ONION GINGER CRAB

If all that spice is getting too hot to handle, take a break with Spice Brasserie’s Spring Onion Ginger Crab. This is a common cooking method found in Chinese restaurants and the mild infusion of ginger and spring onion really brings out the sweetness of the plump and juicy crab meat.

STIR-FRIED SOTONG IN WHITE PEPPER SAUCE

When you are ready to move on to other seafood dishes, check out the Stir-Fried Sotong In White Pepper Sauce. The fresh and tender squid we had boasted a wonderfully chewy texture and it was further elevated by the piquant, creamy peppery sauce.

WOK-FRIED BEE HOON WITH LALA

While the Wok-Fried Bee Hoon with Lala may not look the most appetising when compared with other magnificent crab specials, trust us when we say that this dish was the most well received dish at our table. Everyone was full of praises for it and the entire plate was polished within seconds—not joking.

Oh so comforting, the moist bee hoon is stir-fried in a light yet savoury seafood broth and is accompanied with clams and bits of spring onion. We must say, too, that we love the distinct wok hei.

SWEET & SOUR TOP SHELL & PACIFIC CLAM

Something else that will excite your taste buds is the Sweet & Sour Top Shell & Pacific Clam. The sharp flavours from the tangy-sweet sauce went really well with the naturally sweet top shells and clams.

This is pretty much a straightforward dish with outstanding flavours and it goes best with a bowl of white rice!

DIY SEAFOOD KUEH PIE TEE

Customise your very own Kueh Pie Tee because no one knows your preferences like you do. Add on that extra shrimp or have it with no coriander leaves if that doesn’t interest you.

In any case, the Kueh Pie Tee is so good that the true Peranakans would approve too!

A SWEET RANGE OF PERANAKAN DESSERTS

Round your meal up with traditional Peranakan treats such as Nyonya kuehs, Ice Kachang, Sugi Cake and Pandan Swiss Rolls.

For something out of the ordinary, we would suggest the Bubur Cha Cha. Instead of the sweet dessert you are used to, Spice Brasserie’s rendition is savoury and comforting. Curious about how it tastes like? Then you have to make a trip down yourself to try it!

The Baba and Nyonya Seafood Buffet happens every Thursday to Sunday, from  1 March 2018 until 31 May 2018. Simply quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon making your reservations to enjoy the promotional price of S$99++ for two pax.

Pan Pacific Orchard Singapore’s 10 at Claymore has done it yet again; Chef Andy and his team have impressed us with yet another buffet spread that is bound to leave you salivating with anticipation.

This time, Chef Andy and his team are giving their all as the restaurant will serve its last buffet on 31 March 2018. Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore will close for redevelopment from 1 April 2018, and will continue to be managed by Pan Pacific Hotels Group. That’s right, we will definitely miss our feasts at 10 at Claymore; it has been so many years and it feels like home to us.

Meanwhile, we sure look forward to the upcoming line-up which will feature ten of the all-time signature dishes in the last decade. For the month of March, enjoy a repertoire of Chef Andy’s signatures all in one seating—there will be Australian Wagyu Tomahawk Beef, Alaskan King Crab, Rack of Lamb, Pan Seared Canadian King Scallops and some of his classic Penang dishes such as Air Itam Assam Laksa, Char Koay Teow and Spicy Tiger Prawn Noodles.

We have had the privilege of trying many stellar buffet dinners in Singapore, but this is one super epic buffet dinner at an unbelievable price; you’d be sorry if you missed it. From now until 31 Mar 2018, simply quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon making your reservations and you get to enjoy the very special price of S$105++ for 2 pax for this All-time Top 10 Eats At Claymore dinner buffet.

Deal of the year though we are only into the 2nd month of 2018? We don’t doubt that.

AUSTRALIAN WAGYU TOMAHAWK STEAK

For those of you who do not know, the Tomahawk Steak is an on-the-bone steak cut from the fore-rib with the bone still intact. The very long bone is then French-trimmed, leaving a beautiful presentation of the steak.

Chef Andy’s Australian Tomahawk Wagyu Steak is roasted slowly before being seared to a wonderful medium doneness, leaving a crisp caramelised crust; the meat comes with the right amount of fat, with its juices locked in thanks to the reverse-searing technique, and seasoned with a little dose of truffle oil to enhance the taste and aroma.

SLOW ROASTED RACK OF LAMB

Lamb is not appreciated by many due to a certain pungent smell and its gamey taste. However, this wonderfully grilled lamb rack has little to none of its pungency, and we would recommend everyone to give it a try.

Chef Andy gets his lamb from New Zealand. The tenderness of it alone speaks volumes about how well prepared it is. Perfectly seasoned and moist with every bite, you just need a glass of Shiraz (which isn’t part of the buffet, but you have the option of ordering it à la carte) to complete your experience.

ALASKAN KING CRAB LEGS

With a fresh and unique sweetness to it and a delicate soft texture with every bite, these Alaskan King Crab Legs are totally worth getting your hands messy over.

This premium seafood certainly does not come cheap, and to enjoy them on a free-flow basis in a buffet? Yes, we are definitely in.

PAN SEARED CANADIAN KING SCALLOPS

Loved by many, scallops are not only tasty but also a healthy option.

These Canadian King Scallops are succulent, firm, and mildly chewy, and completely packed with flavours. We found ourselves enticed by the fragrant aroma alone and enjoyed the rich creamy taste of it to the fullest.

BAKED OYSTERS

Oysters in a buffet is usually freshly shucked, and rarely you would find them cooked for the lineup. 10 At Claymore’s dinner buffets are hugely known for their freshly shucked oysters, but expect something different this time around. Chef Andy has new tricks up his sleeves.

Plump and juicy and baked with a housemade chilli mayonnaise that is rich and creamy, these baked oysters are definitely up our alley. You would find that the taste of the sauce is very similar to nacho cheese, but with a spice that accents the sauce with an Asian twist.

BLACK PEPPER CRAB

This is another crab in the buffet spread that you do not want to miss out on. Get your hands messy again with the black pepper crab that boasts an incredible flavour due to the spices used in its marination which complements the natural sweetness of the crab.

PENANG CHAR KOAY TEOW

Chef Andy is from Penang and he does Penang food really well. Trust him to whip up a dish of authentic Penang Char Koay Teow; we are unabashedly huge fans.

The distinct wok hei has won us time and time again. We know we are definitely going to miss Chef Andy’s Char Koay Teow. And if you haven’t tried it, this is your chance to go all out.

PENANG PRAWN NOODLES

And if you are a fan of prawn noodles soup, try Chef Andy’s Penang-style Spicy Tiger Prawn Noodles.

The broth is simmered over low heat for many hours with premium tiger prawns, resulting in a full-bodied soup that is mildly spicy and comes with a strong fragrance of everyone’s favourite red-fleshed seafood.

AIR ITAM ASSAM LAKSA

Assam Laksa is quite an acquired dish but those who really love it will know how to appreciate Chef Andy’s rendition. It is essentially Nyonya-style hot and sour fish noodles.

The Air Itam Assam Laksa is prepared with fresh Barramundi fillet and the Assam paste used in this dish were all hand-carried back from Penang by Chef Andy himself. Zero doubts that what you are getting is the most authentic bowl you can ever find in Singapore.

BRAISED PORK

Last but certainly not least, the 10th item of the line-up is the Braised Pork. Prepared with a traditional recipe that Chef Andy brought from his home in Penang, this braised dish—better known as Babi Pongteh—is robust in flavours and best enjoyed with a simple bowl of white rice.

Premium Kurobuta pork is used, and the end result is a fattier version that is very much fuller in flavours.

Since the restaurant’s grand opening this year, GINGER in PARKROYAL on Beach Road has never failed to delight our taste buds with the best crustacean buffet that is infused with local and regional flavours.

Famed for its stellar seafood creations using only premium ingredients, GINGER’s new ‘A Clawsome Lobsters and Crabs Affair’ buffet lineup helmed by Executive Chef Low Hoe Kiat is probably the best news all shellfish aficionados will receive this month—it features unlimited lobsters, crabs, salmon and river prawns!

Diners will get to enjoy an unbeatable spread of Pan-Fried River Prawns, Wok-Fried Crab In “Sacha Sauce”, Braised Crabs In Aged coconut and Stewed Lobster With Ginger in Superior Stock among others. You know Chef Low never fails to deliver.

And, to further entice you, GINGER is running a special promotion for all Ladyironchef readers. Simply quote “LICX42” when making reservations and this seafood feast is yours for only S$42++ per adult (U.P. S$58++) from now until 08 Dec 2017. This offer is valid for dinner daily and lunch on weekends.

One star attraction at GINGER is their ‘live’ stations where chefs whip up your dishes expertly right in front of your eyes.

Visitors get to experience the impressive theatrical element first-hand and one you must not skip is the Pan-Fried River Prawn station—we were absolutely floored by the aroma of succulent prawns doused in Chinese wine.

Now, let’s find out if the food at GINGER tastes just as good as it looks.

PAN-FRIED RIVER PRAWN

The Pan-Fried River Prawn is a gorgeous dish and we are not just talking about its stunning physical appearance. A favourite among all of us at the table, the plump river prawns were juicy, sweet and had a touch of alcoholic fragrance thanks to the use of Chinese wine.

To enhance the taste of the dish even more, eat the river prawns together with fresh leeks.

WOK-FRIED CRAB IN “SHA CHA SAUCE”

For the uninitiated, Sha Cha sauce is an important condiment when it comes to Chinese cooking and you can mostly find this flavour in Fujian, Teochew and Taiwanese cuisines. The main ingredients you can usually find in the classic Sha Cha sauce are chilli, dried shrimps, garlic and shallots.

GINGER’s Wok-Fried Crab In Sha Cha Sauce reminds us of our grandmother’s homecooked recipes during family reunions and it is ever so comforting. For many Chinese, this is the taste of nostalgia.

BRAISED CRABS IN AGED COCONUT

You may have tasted braised crabs but GINGER’s interesting rendition of Braised Crabs In Aged Coconut is probably something you have not even heard of before.

The crabs are lightly seared before it is stewed and this slow cooking method ensures that the coconut juices are locked in so that every bite of the moist crab meat is robust.

BAKED SALMON WITH GINGER, LEMONGRASS PESTO

Upon first inspection, the baked salmon looks pretty much like any standard Chinese cooking. Dig in a little deeper and you will find little surprises in this dish that makes it extraordinary.

For a start, the salmon meat was runny (just the way we like it) and carried a light ginger scent while the skin was slightly crispy at the edges. What made it really good though, was the addition of homemade lemongrass pesto sauce—blended with chilli and garlic—that really elevated the taste of the well-loved pink fish.

STEWED LOBSTER WITH GINGER IN SUPERIOR STOCK

During our previous trip to GINGER, we were blown away by the sheer intensity of flavours coming from their Stewed Lobster With Ginger In Superior Stock and we are glad that the team has decided to keep this crowd-pleaser on their new menu.

In all honesty, this seafood broth is one of the best we have tried so far and it is the result of boiling lobsters, prawns, mussels and clams for hours. But don’t just take our word for it, you really have to head down to the restaurant and try it for yourself.

EVEN MORE LOBSTERS AND CRABS

There is still so much more to expect from GINGER’s new buffet lineup. For those who love Singapore cuisine, you would be pleased to know that they have Chilli Crabs paired with Deep Fried Mantou, Salted Egg Yolk Crabs, as well as Black Pepper Crabs.

Beyond that, diners can also feast on staples from the Straits Settlement including Penang Hokkien Prawn Noodles, Oyster Omelette and Penang Char Kway Teow.

DESSERTS WITH A LOCAL TWIST

When you are ready to start on desserts, head over to the dessert counter where you can indulge in cakes, jellies, kuehs and all things sweet.

On top of the classic local desserts such as Ang Ku Kueh and Kueh Dadar, some unique treats that are recently added to the dessert collection include Lemongrass Cheese Cake, Ginger Flavoured Bread And Butter Pudding and Ginger Milk Pudding.

Remember to quote “LICX42” to enjoy A Clawsome Lobsters and Crabs Affair at S$42++ per pax (U.P. S$58++) from now to 08 Dec 2017. On top of that, guests will also receive a complimentary parking coupon per table per bill from now until 31 Oct 2017.

The annual Endless Crab Party Buffet at Spice Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road has been so successful ever since the concept was first introduced to the public. After several years, it is now Spice Brasserie’s signature buffet and one that resonates so strongly with the hotel.

Now, if you still haven’t had a go at the massive crab line-up, the promotion has now been extended until the end of September this year. To all of you who have missed out on our exclusive promotion previously, your chance is here! And this is an excuse for those who have been there to re-visit the restaurant again.

From now to 30 September 2017, quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon making your reservation to enjoy the dinner buffet at S$120++ for 2 pax.

SALTED EGG CRAB

Of course, we all begin our crab feast with the classic salted egg yolk flavour. Be prepared to lick off the generous rich salted egg yolk sauce off your fingers when you are indulging in this dish.

CRAB BEE HOON

We admit that when it comes to presentation, the Crab Bee Hoon is overshadowed by all the other gorgeous crab dishes that are plated so beautifully. Yet, it is one of our favourites and you would be sorry to miss this out.

We love how the vermicelli was moist and aromatic and topped off with flavourful and juicy crabs. One should never judge a book by its cover indeed.

STIR-FRIED CRAB WITH ASIAN SPICES

This classic Chinese favourite at Spice Brasserie will delight you with flavours from stir-frying crispy dried shrimps, garlic, ginger and chilli together with fresh crabs.

The robust and earthy flavour from their Stir Fried Crabs With Asian Spices reminds us why we always look forward to Chef Low’s traditional Chinese recipes. So simple yet tugs the heartstrings in the most comforting way.

TWO NEW FLAVOURS YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO

On top of that, there will be two new flavours to enjoy! Stir-fried Crab with Dry Ginger and Fermented Chinese Rice Wine and Crispy Soft Shell Crab with Pork Floss are the latest additions to the Endless Crab Party Buffet at Spice Brasserie.

Looking back, we have had many fond memories at Plaza Brasserie in PARKROYAL on Beach Road. The buffet restaurant is currently undergoing a transformation and will return as GINGER by the end of the month. While we will miss the family dinners at Plaza Brasserie as well as its wonderful buffet spreads spread, boy, were we excited when we found out what GINGER will be offering.

The all-new GINGER will showcase the best of local food and regional highlights. Using only premium ingredients such as lobsters and crabs with familiar local recipes we all grew up enjoying, this buffet goes above and beyond your expectations of how local food should be like.

From fresh seafood to roasted delights and regional cultural delicacies, quote ‘ladyironchef-two-for-$88’** upon making your reservation to enjoy the dinner buffet at S$88++ for 2 pax from 27 June 2017 to 31 August 2017.

THE CONCEPT   

What differentiates GINGER from your usual local fare at hawker centres is the obvious difference in quality and ingredients selected for the buffet. While it is an upscale buffet, prices are kept affordable at S$58++ per person. However, for readers of Ladyironchef, you’ll get to enjoy the dinner buffet at S$88++ for 2 pax.

Diners will find a wide array of offerings but there are three main highlights at GINGER—fresh seafood served in various ways, Crustacean Hotpot, Singapore Chilli Crab and Whole Fish in Rock Salt.

SEAFOOD ON ICE

Every good buffet will have their own seafood on ice counter and that is not an exception at GINGER. All kinds of shellfish await!

We can imagine that the crustacean bar will be a big hit among diners, featuring fleshy lobsters, prawns, mussels and clams. There are also savoury dips to accompany the fresh seafood.

SEAFOOD HOTPOT

Behold, our favourite dish of the night:  the Crustacean Hotpot or what we’ve endearing called our seafood hotpot! Nothing stirs our hearts like the flavours of the ocean in the form of savoury broth made with seafood. The rich and flavourful soup was so satisfying that we would go back to GINGER just for this dish.

This reminds us of fish head steamboat but made even better with lobsters, prawns, mussels and clams. Do not be shy about piling all the ingredients into your soup!

SINGAPORE CHILLI CRAB

This is a timeless classic and is always a crowd pleaser because Singaporeans love their chilli crabs! The mouth-watering blend of sweet and spicy gravy went wonderfully well with firm crab meat. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we paired the sauce with other fresh seafood on our table.

WHOLE FISH IN ROCK SALT

You can expect different varieties of fish, such as the whole salmon or sea bass stuffed with rosemary and lemons, coated in salt crust and baked to perfection so that the meat is tender and moist.

When it is ready to be served, the fish is then paired with basil pesto, lemon butter with capers or Nyonya sauce for extra taste.

ROAST MEATS

Head over to the roast meats section where you will be spoilt for choice with crispy duck, pork, roast chicken and sticky barbequed ribs. Oh yes, this is where all the meat lovers will gather at because who does not enjoy unlimited roast meats?! Not us for sure.

CHINESE CUISINE

Talk about Singaporeans’ national dish and most of us will think of the iconic Hainanese Chicken Rice. This is a Chinese classic not to be skipped at the buffet as you get endless servings of juicy chicken meat and fragrant rice.

Other Singapore signature dishes worth a mention include the delicately braised eight-hour Bak Kut Teh, Oyster Omelette, Braised Trunk Fish with Shiitake Mushrooms.

INDIAN CUISINE

Fans of Indian cuisine can look forward to this melt-in-your-mouth tandoori lamb chops that is best eaten with flaky naans. The marinated lamb chop is simply irresistible with the right balance of lean meat and fats. This is by far one of the best dishes we tried that night.

MALAY CUISINE

We talked about both Chinese and Indian delights which you can find at GINGER and we are definitely not leaving their Malay specialties out! There is straight-off-the-grill satay served warm with chopped onions and cucumbers. Choose between various types of meat such as lamb and chicken.

On top of that, do look out for the Ayam Masak Merah (chicken pieces braised in mildly spicy tomato gravy) and Nasi Biryani (Biryani rice).

When dining at the restaurant, you must make room for its GINGER’s Lemon Grass Ginger Ice-cream laced with Palm Sugar including its Snow Flakes Ice-Kachang!

So, are you ready to visit the spanking new GINGER? With so much good food awaiting you’d be sorry if you missed this!

Remember to quote ‘ladyironchef-two-for-$88’** to enjoy Flavours of the East – Lobsters, Crabs and Straits Gourmet at S$88++ for two pax. The buffet is available for dinner only from Monday to Sunday. The menu items are on rotational basis and they are subject to change without prior notice.

All-you-can-eat seafood at competitive prices sound a little too good to be true? Well, IT ISN’T. J65 at Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore introduces four exciting buffet themes throughout the week at very unbelievable prices. Yes, four! And every single one is exhilarating, to say the least.

Offering an assortment of seafood-centric buffet dinners with four different themes, Hotel Jen’s J65 is back at it again. They range from Crab, Lobster, Seafood, International cuisine as well as a myriad of home-style dishes stemming from the multicultural cuisine of Singapore.

From now until 31 Oct 2017, quote ’ladyironchef’ upon making your reservation to enjoy an incredible spread of buffet dishes at the following prices:

International Buffet (Mon): S$89++ for two (U.P. S$55++ per pax)
Crab Galore (Tue): S$119++ for two (U.P. S$75++ per pax)
Lobster Rock-n-Roll (Wed & Thu): S$129++ for two (U.P. S$85++ per pax)
Seafood Mania (Fri, Sat & Sun): S$119++ for two (U.P. S$75++ per pax)

MONDAYS – INTERNATIONAL BUFFET 

Say goodbye to Monday blues when you savour J65′s International buffet spread featuring a scrumptious array of roast meats including Slow Roast Prime Beef Ribs with Roasted Potato and Butter Vegetables and Roasted Pork Knuckle.

Stuff yourselves silly with a myriad of sushi and sashimi. Although the spread was not the most extensive, we were still content. Not discounting the fact that the salmon sashimi was cut thick, making it a joy to chew into.

For something closer to home, camp at the Chicken Satay station for piping hot skewers and the DIY Rojak Bar where you can mix as many ingredients as you like!

Of course, seafood lovers are not excluded in this wonderful feast! You can look forward to a range of seafood selection such as crab, prawn and mussel on ice. And there is the Slow Baked Whole Salmon that we loved for its freshness and flaky, runny pink flesh!

Quote ’ladyironchef’ upon making your reservation to enjoy the International buffet at S$89++ for two (U.P. S$55++ per pax).

TUESDAYS – CRAB GALORE 

A special shoutout to J65′s newest buffet theme that will excite all crab lovers! Crab Galore is where you will find all kinds of crab specialities under one roof. There are 10 different flavours for you to try so be prepared to be spoilt for choice.

Considering the immense variety of crab dishes available, we’d say it is definitely worth every buck. The cold spread comprised the massive Snow Crab and the Mud crabs. Its simple preparation method really allowed us to savour the natural sweetness of the flesh. SO GOOD.

The scene stealer of the night goes to the Chef Signature ‘Kam Heong’ Style Crab—it was a joy peeling the fresh meat off the shells and indulging its firm texture with fragrant Kam Heong sauce.

Do not forget to try the Singapore Chili Crab, Crab And Egg Au Gratin, Black Pepper Crab and Indian Crab Curry. If you have room for more, we would recommend the Chili Crab Pasta, Crab Popiah and Soft Shell Crab Maki as well.

But the one that stood out the most was definitely the Salted Egg Crab. The salted egg sauce was silky, smooth, and incredibly flavourful. Contrary to popular stigma that salted egg dishes are generally heavy, we were surprised that despite the sauce being robust, it was still kept relatively light.

We also love J65 for its open kitchens where the chefs will whip up special dishes of the day a la minute.

The Crab Laksa ‘live’ station is one that Singaporeans will be making many rounds to. A simple laksa recipe but made better with the addition of fleshy crabs—this is comfort food brought to the next level.

Tandoori Crabs sure are delicious and you can get them piping hot from J65′s ‘live’ kitchen too. The crabs are first marinated and left in the tandoor to cook before they are served to you.

Quote ’ladyironchef’ upon making your reservation to enjoy the Crab Galore buffet at S$119++ for two (U.P. S$75++ per pax).

WEDNESDAYS & THURSDAYS – LOBSTER ROCK-N-ROLL 

Lobster Rock-N-Roll is undisputedly the most popular theme at J65. It is an encore from the previous theme for it is well-loved and boasts an exhilarating array of lobster treats in many different types of flavours.

The menu is anything but modest. Help yourselves to an endless supply of Boston, Bamboo  and Slipper lobsters in an assortment of cooking styles—Lobster with Percik Sauce, Singapore Chili Lobster, ‘Kam Heong’ Style Lobster, Tandoori Lobster, Traditional Herbal Broth with Lobster and more.

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.

The purists will have a wonderful time trying the fresh Boston Lobsters On Ice. Personally, we feel that it is not necessary to add condiments as the sweet lobster meat tastes great on its own.

Quote ’ladyironchef’ upon making your reservation to enjoy the Lobster Rock-N-Roll buffet at S$129++ for two (U.P. S$85++ per pax).

FRIDAYS TO SUNDAYS –  SEAFOOD MANIA 

The hectic week has come to end at last, and what better way to cap it off than to indulge lavishly in a delectable spread of seafood? This exceptional spread is your solace after a dreary week at work/ in school.

‘Seafood Mania’ showcases a magnificent spread of different seafood dishes. Fresh seafood on ice options include Boston Lobsters, Snow Crabs, Prawns, Fin de Claire Oyster and Mussels.

Beyond that, you can indulge in Singapore Chili Crab, Seafood Paella, Oyster Omelette, Seafood Thermidor, Fish Head Curry and Squid Masala.

Continue the extravaganza with more seafood dishes, prepared in both Asian and Western ways at the hot station.

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!

Quote ’ladyironchef’ upon making your reservation to enjoy the Seafood Mania buffet at S$119++ for two (U.P. S$75++ per pax).

J65′S FAMED DESSERT SHRINE

The dessert section at J65 is no ordinary feat. In fact, we deem it as the shrine because much effort is taken to plan and put together a spread so irresistible and mind-blowing.

From western cakes to freshly baked Nonya Kuehs, tarts and mousses and an assortment of traditional Potong ice cream flavours… did we also mention that there is a dessert drawer where you can pick out puddings, jellies and other jars of sweet treats, too? Believe us when we say, resistance is futile over here because there are just too many options to choose from! 

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.

From now until 31 Oct 2017, quote ’ladyironchef’ upon making your reservation to enjoy an incredible spread of buffet dishes at the following prices:

Spice Brasserie in PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road was the talk of the town last year for their value-for-money Union of Crabs & Lobsters Dinner Buffet which saw roaring success among Singaporeans. No doubt, it is hard to find a close contender when it comes to their sheer variety and competitive pricing.

Now, Executive Chef Low and his team at Spice Brasserie has re-introduced their hallmark annual special—Endless crabs party buffet. Unveiling a new exciting buffet line up, this year’s rendition sees new flavours on top of all-time favourites.

From the crowd-pleaser Salted Egg Crabs to local favourites such as Crab Bee Hoon and Stir Fried Crab with Asian Spices, this is one buffet all crab lovers must not miss for the world.

From now until 30 June 2017, quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon making your reservation to enjoy the dinner buffet at an exclusive price of S$120++ for 2 pax.

STIR FRIED CRAB WITH ASIAN SPICES

We always look forward to Kam Heong recipes and at Spice Brasserie, the fragrant Stir Fried Crab with Asian Spices far exceeded our expectations.

This classic Chinese dish comes with a combination of flavours from stir-frying crispy dried shrimps, garlic, ginger and chilli together with fresh crabs.

CRAB BEE HOON

While it sounds unassuming compared to the rest, Crab Bee Hoon is actually one of our favourite dishes in the buffet line up. The moist and aromatic vermicelli won our hearts and the addition of plump and juicy crabs made it all the better.

This was the dish that we went back for seconds, and it was a concerted favourite among all at the dining table. Kudos, Chef Low!

SALTED EGG CRAB

It is an open secret that Singaporeans are obsessed with salted egg yolk zi char dishes so imagine our delight when we found out that there is going to be Salted Egg Crabs on the menu! Well effectively, this is a classic flavour of the annual buffet, but it is most definitely still worth getting excited over!

The rich salted egg yolk sauce was so sinfully good that we could not help but to lick the dripping savoury sauce off our fingers.

WU JIA PI WINE CRAB

Tickle your taste buds with crabs doused in Wu Jia Pi Wine, which is a famous Chinese herbal medicinal wine made from the bark of Wu Jia. Originating from China, Wu Jia Pi has many health benefits including strengthening of bones and having the ability to dispel wind from your body.

We heard this creation is a family recipe; a legacy passed down to Chef Low—certainly an uncommon flavour and there is probably nowhere else you can enjoy free-flow Wu Jia Pi wine-flavoured crabs except at Spice Brasserie.

STEAMED CRAB

Go all out on the tender Steamed Crabs at the live station where the prized sea treasure is served piping hot from the steamer rack. Steamed with egg, the crabs are then garnished with a handful of ginger slices.

This comforting recipe is exactly what we needed in between the rich and flavourful dishes to strike a good balance.

CHEESY CRAB CAKES

These crab cakes may look small, but they sure aren’t simple. Using only fresh crab meat, the savoury handmade crab cakes made with a light crusting of panko worked well as the perfect appetizer amongst the dishes.

We love how it is fuss free during consumption and even comes with a pleasant surprise—expect to finish up with a refreshing homemade salsa-like sauce.

JALAPEÑO CRAB

Looking for something that can give you a spicy kick? The new Jalapeño Crab in this buffet edition is sure to give you that satisfaction.

It is not for the faint-hearted, but if you enjoy spicy food, the jalapeño crab’s spiciness will leave you addicted with its tangy aftertaste.

ROCK SALT BAKED CRAB

Rock Salt Baked Crab is as au naturel as it can get—with distinct flavours of the succulent crab and rock salt. Besides that, the mixture of soft crab meat and grainy rock salt bits brings about an interesting textural variety.

PUMPKIN CRAB IN CLAYPOT

Those who have been to Spice Brasserie’s Lobsters & Crabs buffet would recognise this winning recipe that won many praises from the public. The consistently good pumpkin gravy is the key to its huge success and we love the creamy, smoky taste.

Diners can get their serving of Pumpkin Crab in Claypot at the live counter where the dish is prepared right in front of you.

BONUS – FLAME-GRILLED MENTAIKO LOBSTER

Saving the best for the last—the highly prized Flamed-Grilled Mentaiko Lobster. Yes, it is a crab buffet but Chef Low loves to surprise this way. Every diner is entitled to half a freshly grilled lobster that is covered in a blanket of mayonnaise and buttery mentaiko sauce.

This was the star item from the previous Union of Crabs & Lobsters Dinner Buffet and aren’t you glad you get a taste of it in this crab buffet, too?

From now until 30 June 2017, quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon making your reservation to enjoy the dinner buffet at an exclusive price of S$120++ for 2 pax.

Plaza Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Beach Road wows us again in 2017 with their signature Ultimate Crab Feast. With an extensive spread of crab delights exquisitely curated by Executive Chef Ken Ang and his team, this year’s run sees new flavours (again) and will be bigger than before.

A total of seven different main crab dishes will be available in the buffet line-up. Chef Ken vows to ensure that every crab flavour that he puts on the table is of remarkable quality and stellar flavours that will please the crowd, so it is a game of quality over quantity.

Eating crabs a la carte is no fun. Limited by the portion before you, it is not unusual to find yourself wishing you had more to dig into. That’s why crab buffets are always an indulgence.

Make your way down to the Plaza Brasserie from 09 April 2017 until 28 June 2017 and feast on your favourite crabs at a reasonable price of S$68++ per adult and S$41++ per child, only available during dinner from Sundays to Wednesdays.

SALTED EGG CRAB

While it seems like Salted Egg Crab is not a difficult dish to perfect, you would be surprised that some chefs can actually screw it up—too runny or overly chunky sauces are just some common scenarios. Executive Chef Ken has perfected the richest and creamiest golden yellow sauce that coats each piece of crab perfectly.

But trust our friend Executive Chef Ken to perfect the richest and creamiest golden yellow sauce which coats every piece of crab perfectly. We can never ever get sick of his salted egg crab, really.

It is little wonder this flavour stays in every year’s Ultimate Crab Feast run. The crowd would be displeased if Chef Ken removes this!

SAMBAL PETAI CRAB

Sambai Petai Crab is not something you see often. You have your chilli and pepper crabs but never tossed in sambal and petai beans!

The irresistible combination of robust sambal and slightly bitter petai beans is one that may not be as popular, but is surely one that the chefs at Plaza Brasserie have mastered and are confident you would love. The rich flavours sure complement the slightly sweet Sri Lankan mud crab flesh really well, and this new flavour certainly has our approval.

GINGER HUA TIOW CRAB

Hua Tiow is a Chinese cooking wine that adds so much flavour to anything that it is cooked with.

We have fresh crabs steamed with ginger and Hua Tiow wine as part of the buffet line-up. The fragrance is unparalleled and every bite is a familiar comfort of good ol’ Chinese food. Well, many Chinese dishes are cooked with similar flavours so it definitely reminds us of home. If you like something lighter, this would be perfect for you.

SINGAPORE CHILLI CRAB

It is not a crab buffet without one of Singapore’s national dishes—Singapore Chilli Crab.

While chefs in Singapore have different ways of cooking the iconic Chilli Crab, Chef Ken’s rendition is definitely on par with some of our favourites. And yes, deep-fried mantou buns are available because no one eats chilli crabs without them.

CEREAL CRAB

Chef Ang heard you. He has included Cereal Crab in the lineup for The Ultimate Crab Feast Buffet 2017.

Sweet, crunchy cereal goes so well with crabs. Light, crispy and not overly buttery, the cereal added great textures to the already delightful crab dish. Chef Ken cooks and tosses his cereal with chilli padi and curry leaves, producing a mild sweetness and distinct fragrance that will have you licking your fingers.

BLACK PEPPER CRAB

Some prefer white pepper, others prefer black pepper. We still cannot decide which we prefer, but when Chef Ken cooks, black pepper crab it shall be. His rendition is always power-packed with intense pepper flavours.

Nothing like a classic rendition of black pepper crab, right?

CURRY CRAB MEAT KUEH PIE TEE

The Curry Crab Meat Kueh Pie Tee is one appetiser that you must try when you visit Plaza Brasserie. This unique dish features a traditional Kueh Pie Tee shell topped off with juicy and curried (real) crab meat that makes each bite so satisfying.

Do not miss out on other appetisers such as Crab Meat Balls with Potato, Crab Meat Chawamushi, Curry Flavoured Crab Meat Salad and Thai Glass Noodle Salad.

There is also a vast selection of innovative hot dishes, seafood and non-seafood at the buffet. Some other mainstay buffet dishes that you must try include Stir Fried Prawns, Stir Fried Green Mussels with Lemongrass and Chilli Padi and Kaffir Lime Style Chicken.

Over at the dessert counter, you must not miss out on Plaza Brasserie’s homemade crepes available at the Crepe Station. These crepes are lavishly filled with blueberry jam and drenched in maple syrup.

Date: From 09 April 2017 to 28 June 2017
Dinner (Sundays to Wednesdays): Adult $68 / Child $41

Everyone’s favourite Union of Crabs & Lobsters Dinner Buffet at Spice Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road is back!

The promotion has been extended until the end of April this year.

If you haven’t heard of this amazing seafood buffet, you are missing out and you need to get down to trying it pronto; if you have tried it before, well, you can always do with another indulgence, yes?

FLAME-GRILLED MENTAIKO LOBSTER

The signature Flame-Grilled Mentaiko Lobster is an absolutely stunning dish.

Imagine this—fresh lobsters grilled over the fire, topped with mayonnaise and creamy mentaiko sauce then torched before your eyes. The sauce melts, and a few drops of lemon zest is sprinkled.

Warning: the addiction will be real.

PUMPKIN CRAB IN CLAYPOT 

This is yet another signature dish by Chef Low that is a consistent crowd pleaser at Spice Brasserie. The crabs are cooked in a rich sauce made with pumpkin, curry leaves, curry powder and chilli padi.

It is a wonderful spread of flavours, and the sweet freshness lingers.

WOK FRIED SLIPPER LOBSTER IN FERMENTED BLACK BEAN SAUCE

The Wok Fried Slipper Lobster In Fermented Black Bean Sauce is perfect for those who enjoy seafood cooked in an Asian style.

The lobsters are fried in a rich fermented bean sauce with various aromatic spices such as onion, ginger, garlic and chilli.

Chef Low is constantly trying out new recipes to wow your palate. Look out for the next run of this seafood buffet with new dishes in May 2017.

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

The launch of the Union of Crabs & Lobsters Dinner Buffet at Spice Brasserie in PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road has revived another craze amongst the Nation, and this value-for-money buffet has been such a huge success.

Because we all recognise that we can never get enough of crabs and lobsters, the team behind Spice Brasserie has a good news for us all—the promotion is extended until 2017! If you did not manage to get your reservation or missed out on this superb deal previously, this is your chance to go for it.

The extended Union of Crabs & Lobsters Dinner Buffet (S$129++ for two pax, min 4 persons to dine) will run from Thursdays to Sundays from now all the way until 22 January 2017. If you have been, well, you would want to know that there are several new flavours.

Yes, this is a dinner you need.

Executive Chef Low now has 10 options (comprising lobsters, crabs and other types of shellfish) for your indulgence; some are from the previous buffet line-up, and the remaining is new recipes. The experience at Spice Brasserie includes several live stations where you can watch the chefs in action as they grill your lobster orders a la minute.

WOK FRIED SLIPPER LOBSTER IN FERMENTED BLACK BEAN SAUCE

We are such typical Chinese and of course we love the Wok Fried Slipper Lobster in Fermented Black Bean Sauce. Unsurprisingly, it also happens to be our favourite lobster dish on the table—it is impossible to resist these fresh, plump slipper lobsters drenched in earthy fermented bean sauce and garnished with onion, ginger, garlic and chilli.

We recommend using your hands when having this dish so you will be able to fully savour every bit of the fragrant sauce.

SHELLFISH BOUILLABAISSE

Bouillabaisse is a traditional fish stew originating from Marseille, and the idea is various kinds of fish in a pot. It only makes sense that at the Union of  Crabs & Lobsters, Chef Low whips up a bouillabaisse comprising the freshest catches of lobster, crab, black mussel and prawns in a fish saffron broth.

In case you did not know, saffron is a highly prized spice and its distinctive aroma is used to enhance the flavours of a dish.

SPICY SOFT SHELL CRAB MAKI

We always advocate not wasting your stomach space on carbs when you are at a buffet but we are making it an exception for this Japanese-styled Spicy Soft Shell Crab Maki.

We could hear the delightful crunch when we bit into the maki, and this is attributed by the perfect crisp of the deep-fried soft shell crab. The crabs are paired with Japanese Cucumber, Green Frisee and Karashi Sauce—all wrapped in moist Japanese rice.

FLAME-GRILLED MENTAIKO LOBSTER

Nothing pleases the crowd more than the Flame-Grilled Mentaiko Lobster, which was evidently the most popular flavour from the previous buffet run. And it is here to stay!

Fresh lobsters are grilled at high heat directly over the fire to give it a hint of smoky flavour. Mayonnaise and creamy mentaiko sauce are then piled atop the exposed flesh, before the lobsters are torched again to melt the cream mixture. A few drops of lemon juice are then added for an extra zest. Well ,you really have to postpone your diet plans for this!

BAKED SEA-SCALLOP WITH LIGHT LOBSTER GLAZED

This is a bonus on top of all the crabs and lobsters. The scallops are covered with a blanket of thick mozzarella cheese and a touch of lobster reduction sauce before they are put to bake.

POACHED LOBSTER IN YUZU SAUCE

Replacing the Poached Lobster in Chinese Wine is the Poached Lobster in Yuzu Sauce. It is “same same but different”—lobsters are poached over high heat, then doused in a refreshing homemade yuzu sauce.

This option is available at the live station.

GRATIN LOBSTER CLAW IN CRUSTY SOFT BUN

What’s a lobster party without lobster roll?

Yes, the Union of Crabs & Lobsters Buffet will be introducing the Gratin Lobster Claw in Crusty Soft Bun, their very own version of lobster roll—prepared a la minute—to the buffet lineup this time. Bet you are as excited as we are!

Soft buns are first toasted, then lavishly stuffed with sweet lobster meat.

CLAYPOT LOBSTER NOODLES

Take a break from all the heavy flavours with a bowl of Claypot Lobster Noodles. Similar to prawn noodles soup, the broth has been boiled for hours with lean pork bones that made it all the more delicious. Of course, the addition of fresh lobsters is the icing on the cake for us.

LOBSTER TORTILLA WITH MANGO, TOMATO SALSA

Do not underestimate this simple-looking dish, for it comes with a multitude of flavours enveloped in a tortilla wrap. The combination of sweet lobster meat, fresh lettuce, minced mushrooms, premium Monterey Jack cheese and tangy salsa turned out to be a mouthwatering blend of sweet and salty notes.

PUMPKIN CRAB IN CLAYPOT

We are thrilled to see the Pumpkin Crab in Claypot making a return from the previous buffet lineup, and its constant popularity should tell you this is one stellar creation by Chef Low.

The soft and tender crab meat is paired with a delectable rich sauce made of pumpkin, curry leaves, curry powder and chilli padi. This is also prepared a la minute at the live station, so be assured that you will only be served freshly cooked crabs with bubbling hot sauce.

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

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.

Singaporeans love buffet – this is no secret, and it is in almost every Singaporean’s DNA to pig out. We are all connoisseurs in our own rights, and we have a penchant for great food, yes?

Seafood buffets are often the most popular, but more recently, we see a spike in the number of crabs and/or lobster buffets by hotels and restaurants in Singapore. Of course, these specialised line-ups got the nation all excited, and it created a whole new arena of expectations; we are now even more pampered with buffet spreads than before.

To get you started, here is a summary of all the current spreads you can look forward to if you are looking for a Crab and/or Lobster Buffet in Singapore. We are sure there will be more to come!

Talk about a double whammy! Spice Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road is introducing its unrivalled Lobster and Crab Buffet at S$118++ for 2 pax!

With so many crustacean buffets in Singapore, sometimes you just cannot decide which to pick – should you go for the lobster or the crab buffet?

But with this, you can have both lobsters AND crabs. Executive Chef Low Hoe Kiat is introducing 8 new lobster dishes and 3 of the most popular crabs from their famed crab buffet for the line-up for the Union of Crabs & Lobsters Buffet. This gives you a multitude of different options, and it is probably the most value-for-money buffet. Cherry on top? There are several live stations where you can watch the chefs prepare your crustaceans!

This is truly a feast of a century. Here’s what you can expect at Spice Brasserie, and why you should really check out this lobster and crab dinner buffet (during Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays) which will be available from 07 July to 29 October 2016.

There will be a total of 8 lobster dishes for you to choose from, including sushi options, fresh lobsters on ice and cooked ones.

One of our ultimate favourites and the undisputed champ on the table is the Steamed ‘Live’ Boston Lobster in Chinese Wine. The chefs will steam the lobsters upon order and douse it with Chinese wine, and top it off with sliced ginger and coriander.

Because the lobsters are cooked a la minute, the lobsters’ sweetness is retained and henceforth bringing out the freshness of every piece of flesh. This dish is simple, light but just oh-so-delicious! A friendly tip that we have is to crack the claws of the lobster (the meat is generally sweeter and softer in there) and dip it in the Chinese wine sauce.

Another lobster dish that is sure to be a quick crowd-favourite is the Flame-grilled Lobster Mentaiko. Nothing makes us happier than mentaiko sauce, and here at Spice Brasserie, the lobsters are first flame-grilled, then given a lavish coat of mentaiko sauce and cheese, and torched upon order. The resulting taste is an addictive umami goodness.

Moving on to the other lobster dishes, you should stop for a serving of the Truffle lobster with Marina Jellyfish Salad. It is an appetiser that comes in a little shot glass.

The Baked Lobster with Okiami and Natto Sauce came out as a surprise. Don’t belittle that unappetising-looking sauce. It is actually the same spice assortment the chefs would use for Mee Rebus, and the slight-salty-slight-spicy sauce balances with the lobsters well without taking away its natural sweetness.

Then, there is the Lobster Noodle Soup which is really like our usual prawn noodles but is made better with, but of course, lobsters.

It has a rich and spicy soup base, inspired by the cooking styles and flavours of Malaysian-style prawn noodles.

Also, the Lobster Wellington is not to be missed! Minced lobster and other stuffings sit inside a nice puff pastry casing.

Think of a juxtapose between flaky, buttery puff pastry and sweet, mushy lobster stuffing. We like how all the flavours came together, making this savoury treat a much-loved dish of the spread.

Other lobster dishes include Crustacean Paella, Cuban Lobster Stew Japanese Lobster Fried Rice, Stir-Fried Lobster in Fragrant Salt, Lobster Congee and the classic Lobster on Ice.

Now, moving on to the crabs. The most popular Slow-braised Pumpkin Crab in Claypot from the previous crab buffet will make a return to the Union of Lobster and Crab Buffet – of course you have to try this.

The pumpkin sauce is rich and sweet and complements the crab meat really well. Toast is served on the side so you can enjoy the sauces further by dipping the fresh toasts into the pumpkin sauce.

The Crab Roe Congee is basically comfort food for us. The porridge reminded us of home and the roe only upped the ante for us.

Simple, sweet and totally warms up our hearts. You know what will make it even better? Eat it with the Pumpkin Crab, and drizzle the sauce all over the congee.

The other two crabs that are offered as part of the buffet, are the Chilli and Black Pepper Crab. We liked that the chefs did their own twist on the chilli crab with a thicker and spicier sauce instead of the traditional and typical Singapore-style chilli crab.

The whole spread is filled with a ton of delicious goodies, more than we could have asked for. We can guarantee that you and your tummy will be satisfied by the end of your meal.

Also, if you are one of these cardholders*, the price point for two adults is only S$118++, a steal! Make your reservations quickly before they are all sold out. The buffet will only run for a mere two months!

Remember Penang St. Buffet’s awesome Crab Madness Buffet in 2015? This year, they have upped the ante in this new expansion and instalment – East Vs. West Crab Buffet. 2016′s spread will see a total of 12 crab flavours, including one special crab bisque, all made with flavours inspired by both the Western and Eastern culture.

After the success of last year’s buffet, Penang St. Buffet at Causeway Point has even more options this year to excite – think Green Curry Crab, Balinese Crab, Carbonara Crab and even Parmesan Baked Crab! Our stomachs are already growling.

This halal crab-centric buffet will begin on 01 March 2016 and end on 08 My 2016, the weekend of Mother’s Day. We had first hand dips on the buffet, and here is what you can expect at the East Vs. West Crab Buffet. If you are crab-obsessed too, the only thing you have to do for yourself is to head down to Penang St. Buffet for this crabby feast!

EAST VS. WEST – 7 ASIAN-INSPIRED CRAB FLAVOURS AND 5 WESTERN-INSPIRED CRAB DISHES

Now let’s talk about the crabs. That’s what you are reading this post for, yes?

The whole buffet line is made up of 7 Asian-inspired crab dishes and 5 Western-inspired crab dishes. Most crabs in the spread come with a very lovely wok hei (fragrance from the wok) as well. The Asian flavours used in the crabs got us more than excited. From Thai flavours to Japanese touches, you can have both intensely spiced crabs as well as light options.

GREEN CURRY CRAB

The Green Curry Crab is one that got us hooked. If you are a fan of Thai green curry, this might actually surprise you. The sauce is more like a paste and thicker than your regular green curry, but that is exactly what we loved about it.

WOK FRIED CRAB BEEHOON

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is something to give up the world for. The Wok Fried Crab Beehoon tops our list as the best crab dish in the entire line!

Not like there was anything special about the crab, but you guys, the vermicelli was exceptional. The savoury taste of the seasoning was fantastic. Wok-fried with a good grasp of temperature, the vermicelli absorbed the seasoning and sweetness of the crab so well. The end result? A texture just right – neither too dry nor too wet. And guess what? We ate more vermicelli than crabs!

MISO CRAB

For those who enjoy a light-flavoured crab, you have the Miso Crab. This rendition is pretty much like a good, classic steamed crab – with the addition of a faint miso saltiness. Great for those who do not prefer intense flavours and just want to enjoy the fleshy, white meat that is close to nakedness.

KIMCHI CRAB

Kimchi is one of our favourite things on Earth and you bet we enjoyed the Kimchi Crab. The taste of the slightly tart kimchi and the spice of the sauce gave the overall bite a very unique experience. It is a first for us to hear of a pairing of kimchi and crab, and boy were we impressed.

BALINESE CRAB

For those who have a penchant for spicy food, this Balinese Crab will kick some ass. Prepared with authentic Indonesian sambal – which is very spicy – this flavour is not for the faint-hearted. The sambal packed a punch, and the added coconut on the inside of the crab gave the dish a burst of fragrance.

SALTED EGG YOLK CRAB

This is the only repeated flavour from last year’s spread, simply because it was just too popular! Yes, everyone loves a good salted egg yolk crab, and Penang St. Buffet sure nailed theirs.

Expect nothing short of an intense and thick salted egg yolk sauce that covers the sweet flesh so wondrously. Probably one of the best renditions we’ve ever tried!

ORIENTAL CRAB BISQUE

The Oriental Crab Bisque has a taste akin to those thick soup that we would expect from a typical Chinese banquet, and it brings forth a splendid familiarity. What we were really pleased about was the large chunks of crab meat, bringing out a full-bodied bisque that was robust in every spoonful.

CARBONARA CRAB

The Western flavours might come across as slightly intimidating and foreign, perhaps because most of us Singaporeans would be used to having crabs with spices or just plainly steamed.

There is a unique variation of a Carbonara Crab. Though creative, we didn’t feel too strongly for this.

HERB GARLIC CRAB

The Herb Garlic Crab was a better choice for us, as opposed to the Carbonara Crab. The garlic sure gave the crab an extra flavour boost.

ESPRESSO CRAB

As coffee lovers, the Espresso Crab hit the jackpot for us.

This interpretation by Penang St. Buffet is an intense one, with a thick and syrup-like sauce that we thought was a tad too sweet – but it worked well anyway and complemented the sweetness of the fresh crabs.

BAKED PARMESAN CRAB

We would never say no to baked cheese, especially not a Baked Parmesan Crab. This tastes exactly like how you would imagine it to be. Delicious baked cheese, sweet and plump crab meat; the marriage of sweet and salty in the form of a baked cheese crab is unrivalled.

PERI PERI CRAB

We were intrigued by the Peri Peri Crab drenched in homemade sauce. A little bit of spiciness, a little bit of sweetness, and just very slightly tart. The spice and flavourings in this one felt like a good fusion of Asian and Western flavours.

ABUNDANT COLD SEAFOOD SPREAD

Other than crabs, the buffet also comes with fresh cold seafood. This beautiful bed features the usual fresh seafood on ice. The range is extensive and it includes fresh scallops, salmon sashimi, lobsters, crab legs and more.

PENANG STREET FOOD

And what is a buffet at Penang St. Buffet without some Penang food? Damn, that was a mouthful, but hey! Be ready to be impressed by the spread they have to offer.

When we talk about Penang food, we think of Assam Laksa and Penang Hokkien Prawn Noodles. These will all be on rotation on top of the crab spread (albeit with a slight variation, e.g. crabs will be used in the preparation of the soup stock for the Penang Hokkien Noodles). Yes, we told you it would be a feast.

If you are a crab-lover, there is no doubt that this meal will be enjoyable and value-for-money for you. Imagine having delicious crab free-flow. No, this is not a dream, the East Vs. West Crab Buffet is a real thing.
