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

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

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

WAGYU BEEF WITH RENDANG SAUCE

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

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

ROAST DUCK

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

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

SOFT SHELL CRAB WITH WASABI MAYO

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

SINGAPORE CHILLI CRAB WITH DEEP FRIED MANTOU

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

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

SALTED EGG YOLK CRAB

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

CLAYPOT ROCK LOBSTER WITH FISH MAW SOUP

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

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

ROCK LOBSTER IN BLACK PEPPER SAUCE

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

STIR-FRIED HOKKIEN PRAWN NOODLE WITH OBAR LEAVES

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

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

DIY KUEH PIE TEE

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

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

In need of something to look forward to over the weekend? Let Ginger be your solution, and while you’re at it, don’t forget to quote “LIC25” to enjoy a 25% discount on the weekend lunch and dinner buffet!

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

Hotel buffets need not be the most extravagant and fancy; we are happy if the food is good and the price is reasonable. Royale at Mercure Singapore Bugis has constantly been on our list of affordable buffet spreads in Singapore since its opening and we are giving you another reason to love them.

For the next three months, Royale is going to pay tribute to Asia’s dynamic flavours. The new Rasa Sayang BBQ Buffet is the next buffet with local spread to try. It is super value-for-money and it is like enjoying all your favourites at Chomp Chomp Food Centre in a comfortable air-conditioned environment for just one price.

From 01 June to 26 August 2018, indulge in a huge array of local goodies which features an extravagant lineup of over 30 local and Asian delights. You may quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy 30% off the buffet upon making reservations from Sundays to Thursdays, and 20% off on Fridays and Saturdays. Do note that the discounts are not applicable on Father’s Day, Eve and Public Holidays and it is limited to a maximum of only 10 diners per booking.

DO IT YOURSELF STATION—ROJAK

Rojak is a dish that needs no further introduction. In Malay, ‘rojak’ is a word that means ‘mixture’. In Singapore, ‘rojak’ is a local “salad”. Essentially a salad tossed in sweet sauce, rojak compromises dough fritters, turnips, pineapples, cucumbers and jellyfish.

Look forward to the D.I.Y. rojak station at Royale where you can customise your rojak to your own liking. We like the sound of unlimited D.I.Y. rojak because it means we can add as many pineapple and dough fritters as we please!

OUTDOOR BBQ STATION

This time, Royale at Mercure Singapore Bugis has taken their buffet spread a notch up by featuring a live barbecue station outdoors. Think your favourite BBQ seafood stalls from Chomp Chomp, but even better because this is free flow!

You can indulge in a myriad of barbecued food items, which include ayam panggam, grilled squid, 3 different varieties of satays and everyone’s favourite grilled sambal stingray!

Just think about the value you are getting for the price you are paying—at your typical hawker centres, you pay an average of S$12 per sambal stingray; you pay S$26.60++ (on weekdays) here for endless servings. Isn’t it unbelievable?!

DO IT YOURSELF STATION—ASIAN BAO-WICH

Royale has decided to redefine ‘kong ba bao’. Choose from not 1, but 3 different types of meats.

Besides the classic Braised Five Spice Pork Belly, Royale also offers diners Nyonya Chicken and Black Pepper Beef fillings that sit in between soft, pillowy steamed mantou buns.

While the fatty and mildly sweet pork belly is surely a crowd-pleaser, we sang nothing but praises for the Nyonya Chicken, which had a really nice crispy skin. The Black Pepper Beef was well-marinated and came with a hint of spice, although the heat is not lip-smacking so children can enjoy this dish as can everyone else.

FRIED KWAY TEOW

Fried Kway Teow may not be what you’d expect to get at a hotel buffet but you would be thankful for this delight at Royale.

The Fried Kway Teow at Royale boasts smoky and robust flavours and every mouthful of this char kway teow is bursting with a complex charred aroma. This station will definitely be one that Singaporeans will be making multiple rounds to.

HAR CHEONG GAI

Trust us when we say that Royale’s version of Singaporeans’ favourite Har Cheong Gai is insanely addictive. The crispy and succulent prawn paste chicken is richly marinated in shrimp paste and just the aroma of this dish alone is enough to whet your appetite.

Royale has executed this dish so brilliantly such that die-hard fans of prawn paste chicken will definitely be pleased. 

WOK FRIED SALTED EGG YOLK PRAWNS 

Here in Singapore, we take our food trends seriously. The salted egg yolk trend is undisputedly one that will last for a long time and it is dishes such as the Wok Fried Salted Egg Yolk Prawns at Royale that keeps this food trend alive.

Royale’s rendition of salted egg yolk prawns definitely did not disappoint—the prawns were beautifully coated with a creamy, rich and piquant salted egg yolk coating which came with a hint of spiciness.

PAPER BAG OVEN-BAKED LAKSA CHICKEN

Having been marinated for 24 hours before being roasted in a paper bag, the tender meat of the chicken is a showstopper in its own right, especially when complemented with the luscious broth.

Royale’s version of the Singapore laksa broth differs slightly from the traditional ones—made with a blend of seven spices, the laksa broth which the chicken is doused in is rich and fragrant, bursting with a distinct spicy coconut flavour.

Every piece of chicken you have would have locked in the was creamy and full-flavoured laksa broth, making the tender chicken surprisingly flavourful.

SNAPPER FISH HEAD CURRY

The Fish Head Curry at Royale is a slightly tangier version and less spicy than what we had hoped for it to be, but it left an impression on us anyway. We were pleasantly surprised by the strong aroma and richness of the curry despite it being slightly watery.

Coupled with a variety of vegetables such as lady’s fingers and brinjal, this is one hearty dish that stood out in the line-up and is one that will make us return to the buffet for.

TRADITIONAL DESSERTS

Royale’s Rasa Sayang BBQ Buffet includes not just their usual sweet treats but also a repertoire of traditional local desserts which come with a modern twist.

Look forward to items such as Durian Crème Brûlée, Coconut Custard Tart and an assortment of Nonya Kueh—every one of their desserts is made fresh in-house. Don’t miss out on the classic Pandan Chiffon Cake sweetened with a layered of fluffy marshmallow, inspired by the nostalgic ice cream sandwich.

There is also a D.I.Y. Chendol station which will be part of the buffet spread—customise your dream chendol and end off your meal with this icy treat!

From 01 June to 26 August 2018, indulge in a huge array of local goodies which features an extravagant lineup of over 30 local and Asian delights. You may quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy 30% off the buffet upon making reservations from Sundays to Thursdays, and 20% off on Fridays and Saturdays. Do note that the discounts are not applicable on Father’s Day, Eve and Public Holidays and it is limited to a maximum of only 10 diners per booking.

This post is brought to you by Mercure Singapore Bugis.

Once upon a time before we were born, lobsters were considered food for the poor. There was an abundance of these crustaceans then for nobody bothered to eat them. Things took a dramatic turn around the 19th century when whole cooked lobsters started being served on silver platters to the affluent class. Prices soared and the lobster became a prized catch.

Who would have known that such an unwanted seafood could evolve into such a pricey and highly sought-after delicacy? There are many lobster species available in the market and each breed has a different price tag. When cooked fresh, the fresh ones will taste succulent and sweet. Needless to say, the consumption of lobsters today still remains as an expensive affair.

Here is our guide to the Best Lobster Dishes in Singapore. Anytime you have a hankering for the crustacean, you know this list (that you should bookmark now) will come in handy.

CAJUN ON WHEELS – CRUSTY C.O.W. BURGER LOBSTER & BEEF

Cajun On Wheels is a Halal-certified seafood diner serving unadulterated and fresh seafood in true American fashion.

On top of coming with a 100% premium beef patty, the Crusty C.O.W. Burger Lobster & Beef (S$39.90++) also consists of half a lobster which makes this dining option worth every dollar. A ladle of butter herb sauce is layered over the fresh and juicy lobster and it made this dish so worth the indulgence.

International buffet restaurant Colony—situated on the third level of The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore—features an amazing spread of cuisines. There are eight ‘live’ kitchens and over at The Steam Basket is where you get to indulge in Lobster Laksa.

GINGER – PUMPKIN LOBSTER IN CLAYPOT

This phenomenal dish—by Executive Chef Low Hoe Kiat—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.

LUKE’S OYSTER BAR & CHOP HOUSE – LOBSTER ROLL 

Known for its seafood cocktails and oysters, it is by no surprise that Luke’s Chophouse does an impressive rendition of the classic lobster roll.

Apart from their impressive array of oysters, what is also worth trying is their Lobster Sliders which is served only during lunch. You get a generous serving of sweet lobster flesh—from a 500g Maine lobster—tucked nicely in a tall and thick brioche that is toasted to a pretty golden shade.

For those who are looking for more local-inspired flavours, there are also options such as Chilli Lobster (S$58++) and Lobster Noodle (S$58++). The former is like our local Chilli Crab but instead of crabs, you got that right, lobsters are used; the latter consists of wok-fried egg noodles with ginger, scallion and house-made chilli oil.

TUNGLOK SIGNATURES – PAN-FRIED LOBSTER STEAK

TungLok Signature’s Pan-fried Lobster Steak is truly a must-order dish. The crustacean has been pan-fried to perfection and served atop leafy vegetables. A secret sauce is drizzled over it and we were surprised how a pomegranate could give the dish such an extra oomph.

WAN HE LOU

Wan He Lou’s signature is undoubtedly their Lobster Porridge (S$31.90++ onwards), which also happens to be the pride of the restaurant’s award-winning founder chef, Lau Siaw Dee.

Cooked in Teochew style, the Lobster Porridge is a winning recipe and its success all boils down to its flavourful stock which comprises rich lobster roe and topped off with a fresh lobster that was prepared separately.

YÀN – DEEP-FRIED LOCAL LOBSTER

The Local Lobsters (seasonal price/100g) here at Yàn are amazing when deep fried with a side of Yàn’s house-made Chardonnay White Wine Sauce.

It is easy to overcook lobsters like this where it becomes rubbery, but fret not, the chefs have aced the deep frying and when you have the lobster served immediately, the flesh inside is still nice, warm and juicy.

We are always up for a buffet that pays tribute to Asia’s vibrant culinary traditions and if you are someone who enjoys the rich and diverse flavours of Southeast Asian recipes and are always on a hunt for affordable buffets, try Window on the Park at Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre. Year after year, Window on the Park has been constantly expanding and refining their buffet spread.

Featuring three Seafood Woks—Sambal tomato, black pepper and cream sauce—that comprise crustaceans such as lobster, crab, crayfish, prawn, clams and mussels, these new highlights at Window On The Park are the creations of Executive Chef Ivan Lim and his dedicated culinary team.

The best part? From now until 14th May 2018, diners are entitled to one Seafood Wok per person on top of their popular 1-For-1 weekend dinner from Fridays to Sundays (S$96++ for two pax)!

Aside from that, look forward to other Asian delights such as laksa ‘live’ station, seafood on ice as well as DIY rojak and kueh pie tee stations. Can we also add that there is complimentary beer for everyone who quotes ‘ladyironchef’ upon making reservations?

SEAFOOD WOK – BLACK PEPPER

Starting with our favourite of the lot, the Black Pepper Seafood Wok is slightly different from the usual black pepper sauce Singaporeans are used to.

While still boasting the usual peppery spiciness, Chef Ivan Lim’s rendition comes with some sweetness in it too; the sauce strikes a harmonious blend of flavours that will have you licking up your fingers.

SEAFOOD WOK – SAMBAL TOMATO

Inspired by Malaysian and West Javanese culinary techniques, the Sambal Tomato Seafood Wok is a nostalgic taste all locals will be familiar with. The spicy and slightly tangy sauce is made from a blend of sambal chili, tomato paste and a combination of various Asian spices to bring about complex layers that enhance the natural sweetness of the lobster, crab, crayfish and other seafood in the wok.

Pro tip: get a mantou (deep-fried bun) from the buffet counter and dip it into the sambal tomato sauce for the ultimate satisfaction.

SEAFOOD WOK – CREAM SAUCE

If you are not one who enjoys spicy food, then the cream sauce will work instead.

Window On The Park’s Cream Sauce Seafood Wok is a treasure chest filled with all sorts of seafood goodness and sits in a pool of luscious cream sauce. We thoroughly enjoyed digging into the crab legs which were oozing with full-favoured cream sauce.

LAKSA ‘LIVE’ STATION

The ever-popular laksa ‘live’ station at Window On The Park is one that regulars will always make a beeline for. Guests can customise their very own laksa, just the way they enjoy it. Choose between yellow or white noodles (have them both if you wish) and add on toppings such as prawn, fish cake, hard-boiled egg and bean sprouts.

Do not be shy about making multiple trips back to the laksa station because that was what we did too!

ASIAN DELIGHTS

Once you are done with the signatures, it is time to go all out on the Asian spread at the main buffet counters. Some options on rotation include Singapore Chili Crab, Hong Kong Fried Noodles, Bak Kwa and Lotus Rice.

Do not skip their two DIY stations where you can make your own kueh pie tee and Chinese rojak.

DESSERT COUNTER

Should you still have room after all the feasting, head over to the dessert section where you will be able to choose among classic desserts such as brownie, cupcake, whole cakes and ice cream as well as Asian delights in the likes of durian pengat and red bean pancake.

Do note that diners are entitled to one Seafood Wok per person and it can be ordered from any of the friendly service staff at Window On The Park. Dine in a group of two or more and get to enjoy a wok prepared specially for you and served to your table.

Here’s also a gentle reminder to quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy complimentary beer for everyone at the table!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

JAMÓN IBÉRICO FROM SPAIN

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

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

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

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

BELON AND FINE DE CLAIRE OYSTERS

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

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

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

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

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

BOSTON LOBSTER

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

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

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

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

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

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

Window on the Park at Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre has a lobster buffet spread that focuses on Asian delights, though there are still international elements.

Paying homage to the ASEAN Golden Jubilee and the region’s rich culinary heritage, Window on the Park will be showcasing culinary styles and dishes from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Singapore. This is part of their Southeast Asian Culinary Dinner Showcase that happens every evening from Monday to Thursday and it is only going at S$80++ for two pax.

And as you gear up for the weekend from Friday and through to Sunday, reward yourself with the ultimate seafood treat—the Boston Lobster Weekend. Making its debut at the live station is the pan-seared Boston lobster as well as a myriad of seafood indulgences including baby lobster, fresh succulent prawns and scallops—all this for a steal of S$96++ for two pax! Window On The Park’s buffet promotions will be available from now until 30 November 2017.

While many other buffet restaurants out there pride themselves on having the largest and most extensive range of food and cuisines, Window on the Park adopts the ‘less is more’ approach by dishing out a substantially sized spread of only the good stuff, allowing diners to be able to savour each and every item before their bellies beg them to stop. Read on to find out just what stellar creations they have in store!

With brightly lit chandeliers looming in the air, Window on the Park maintains a cosy atmosphere that is inviting to diners from all walks of life—from t-shirt and shorts-clad hotel guests to office workers.

The evening buffet spread at Window on the Park encompasses the culinary icons from across the region so you can expect to load up on dishes such as chilli crab, fish head curry and roti prata—just to name a few.

This stellar line-up takes is available every evening from Mondays to Thursdays from 6.30pm to 10.30pm, from now right up to 30 November 2017.

CHILLI CRAB

This iconic dish is one that requires no introduction. Fresh crabs are stir-fried to perfection and tossed with copious amounts of that luxuriously thick sweet and mildly spicy chilli crab sauce. With crab meat that firm and sweet, coupled with a chilli sauce that decadent and flavourful, we must admit that it is difficult to be disappointed.

Deep fried buns (or mantous) are also part of the spread to help you ensure that you mop up every morsel of that delicious sauce.

FISH HEAD CURRY

This spicy Indian dish is a scintillating stew of curry cooked with vegetables and the whole head of a fish—typically a Red Snapper. Subtly tart with a good amount of spice and umami, this is a dish best enjoyed with plain rice.

ROTI PRATA WITH FISH CURRY

Many locals may find it ridiculous to eat a dish as common as roti prata at a buffet but we beg to differ. Crispy on the outside whilst maintaining a soft and chewy interior, this is an extremely versatile item that can be used to mop up anything (not just curries)—we used it to mop up the chilli crab sauce and it was pretty darn delicious!

BAMBOO CLAMS WITH THAI BASIL

The bamboo clams were juicy and fresh and prepared using common Thai ingredients. The end result was succulent and flavourful shellfish and the use of bell peppers really helped to enhance the sweet flavours of the clams—it was so good that we just had to go for seconds.

BLACK PEPPER CLAMS

Clams are versatile in that whatever it lacks in a scallop’s melodic sweetness and an oyster’s distinct flavour, they make up for in their rich, earthy notes and subtle brininess.

As such, serving it in a Malaysian style that uses lots of black pepper and oyster sauce does well to bring out a supple sweetness from the clams. Tasty and incredibly flavourful, this dish would certainly go well with some rice to mellow out the flavours.

SAMBAL STINGRAY

The sambal stingray here ranks pretty close to the ones you would typically get at zi char stalls. The sambal was spicy and mildly sweet and the stingray was tender enough to slip off the bone easily. It also gave off a nice smokey aroma which was rounded off nicely with a squeeze of fresh lime.

BOSTON LOBSTER

On Friday evenings right through to Sunday, treat yourself to as much Boston lobsters as you can possibly stomach. Cooked to perfection by Executive Chef Ivan Lim and his culinary team, the pan-seared Boston lobsters boast a subtle charred quality that really boosts the umami of this dish.

The meat of the lobster itself was sweet, succulent and plump. Overall a hugely satisfying seafood dish, which is no wonder why a batch of these bad boys can disappear in literally minutes.

END YOUR MEAL OFF ON A SWEET NOTE

We highly recommend that you do not overstuff yourselves at the main buffet, but even if you do, just make sure to leave a tiny room for dessert. Offering a small yet substantial array of both local and international sweet treats—such as their creamy durian pengat and their Portuguese egg tarts that will have you longing for seconds, and possibly even thirds!

Whoever said that indulging should be a costly affair? This delectable array of Southeast Asian culinary delights can be enjoyed at only S$80++ for two persons. It is available from Mondays to Thursdays between 6.30pm to 10.30pm.

And if you love lobsters, do not miss out on their Boston Lobster Weekend going for only S$96++ for two persons that takes place every Friday to Sunday between 6.30pm to 10.30pm. A price like that for Boston lobsters is as unbelievable as it is hard to come by.

These lovely spreads are available from now right up to 30 November 2017. Do note that the menu items are on a rotational basis and they are subject to changes.

It is time to feast again at Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore’s 10 at Claymore. The hotel’s star restaurant always surprises us with their thematic buffet spreads. Brace yourselves, beef and seafood lovers.

For the next line-up, tuck into a lavish spread of international cuisine and savour the robust flavours of Australian beef Wagyu Tomahawk, fresh Boston lobster and three varieties of oyster.

This fit-for-a-king lineup is aptly named ‘Beef and Reef’ which beautifully encompasses the best of both land and sea, and prices start from S$68++.

But you know what? You are going to enjoy a special price because you are learning about the buffet from us. From 01 July 2017 to 30 September 2017, quote “ladyironchef-two-for-$98-beef-and-reef” upon making reservations to indulge in endless helpings of Wagyu beef, lobsters and oysters at only S$98++ for two pax!

AUSTRALIAN BEEF WAGYU TOMAHAWK

The new addition to the award-winning 10 at Claymore’s buffet menu is the tender and flavourful Australian beef Wagyu Tomahawk. Incredibly tender, the grain-fed Australian beef derives its buttery texture and superior taste from its four to five percent marbling.

For the uninitiated, the Tomahawk steak refers to a cut of beef ribeye that has five or more inches of extra rib bone jutting out of it. More for presentation purposes, it is called a ‘tomahawk’ cut because the steak with the long bone intact resembles a single-handed axe known as the tomahawk.

The meat is slowly roasted and marvellously seared to obtain a caramelised crust while retaining the succulent juiciness of the Wagyu. The rich and intense flavours of the thickly sliced meat are sure to please the most discerning of diners.

With the Wagyu beef cooked bone-in, you can expect a more flavourful piece of meat. During cooking, the flavourful and complex marrow in the middle of the bone melts and runs out onto the meat itself, further infusing it with more intense, beefy flavours.

Incredibly moist, flavourful and melt-in-your mouth tender, the wagyu tomahawk is indeed a stellar dish of the buffet line-up.

BOSTON LOBSTER

This season’s promotion also sees unlimited servings of Boston lobsters on ice. The sweet lobster meat is best appreciated when dipped in clarified butter or with a dash of Tabasco sauce.

For something heartier, you can also request to have it cooked with garlic and clarified butter. This simple preparation method does well to not overpower the natural sweetness of the lobster but instead, enhances the flavour. It was so addictive and our hearts were won instantly.

THREE KINDS OF OYSTERS

Oyster lovers will get very excited. Featuring a tantalising trio of oysters from France, Ireland and the USA respectively, fans of the delectable mollusks are in for a treat—as you always would because 10 at Claymore has already made a name for themselves with their quality oyster offerings.

Plump, juicy and super fresh, it really doesn’t get any better than this.

For first timers, this would serve as an opportunity for you to try different varieties so you can finally decide on the kinds you like.

We recommend you start with the plump and smooth American Oysters from Washington Bay as they are milder in flavours and definitely not overwhelming.

For more robust flavours, dive straight for the Irish Premium Oysters which are loved for being creamy and luscious. Those with a fondness for oysters that are less fleshy but equally juicy can opt for the French Fine de Claire Oysters.

Try too, the hearty and robust flavours that come with oysters from Australia. They are simply delightful with a hit of fresh lemon.

Nothing upsets us more than watching oysters pre-shucked and left out in the open for hours. At 10 at Claymore, you will see no such thing. Get your oysters shucked to order by resident chefs, or even skilfully transformed into the much-loved crispy Oyster Omelette.

‘Beef and Reef’ also includes a selection of 10 at Claymore’s signature Penang favourites, Asian delights and international dishes as well.

Try to keep your bellies for the sweet stuff too! Their house-made desserts, pastries and crepes with evergreen toppings from durian to sweet corn are to die for!

Diners are invited to enjoy the gastronomical promotion when the season opens from 01 July 2017 to 30 September 2017 for dinner from 6pm to 10.30pm. Judging by the overwhelming success of their previous Oyster and Lobster Occasions Buffet, our advice is to make your reservations early.

Remember to quote “ladyironchef-two-for-$98-beef-and-reef” to enjoy the ‘Beef and Reef’ promotion at S$98++ for two pax. The buffet is available for dinner only from Monday to Sunday.

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:

International Buffet (Mon): S$89++ for two (U.P. S$55++ per pax)

J65 at Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore has done it again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT DESSERT BUFFET

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

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

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

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

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

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. 

Spice Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road had everyone talking about them a few months ago with its value-for-money Lobster and Crab Buffet. And the awesome international buffet is back again this Christmas and will be available from 19 Dec 2016 to 01 Jan 2017.

Look forward to an array of yuletide offerings such as Gammon Ham, Roasted Turkey, Fillet of Beef, Log Cakes and whatnot. Also, Spice Brasserie is showcasing an incredible dessert room decked out in Christmas ornaments and over 38 types of sweet treats.

Your little ones can keep themselves occupied at the Kids’ Corner with fun-filed activities, i.e. face painting, balloon sculpting and sand art on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

The best part? Prices start from S$40++ per adult for the Festive Lunch Buffet and S$48++ per adult for the Festive Dinner Buffet.

Here are the highlights of Spice Brasserie’s Festive Buffet for Christmas 2016.

For December, Spice Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road is launching a plethora of roasts on a daily basis.

From roasted beef, roasted ham, roasted lamb, roasted turkey to roasted vegetables, you surely will not want to miss out on this splendid fiesta.

No Christmas is complete until you have your traditional turkey. Spice Brasserie’s homemade Turkey Junior with Chestnut Stuffing has been roasted to perfection and the fork-tender slices are best eaten with the artisanal Cranberry Sauce.

The juicy and boneless Gammon Ham is first poached and glazed with honey before it is baked in an oven. The process is tedious, but the end result is a delectable and succulent ham. The classic dish is served with cherries, pineapples and peach sauce.

Next up, we have the mouthwatering Fillet of Beef with Madère Au Jus Bouquetière. Spice Brasserie’s roast beef rendition is essentially a 200-day Grain Fed Beef served with an assortment of roasted vegetables, including Roast Butternut Pumpkin and Potatoes.

The Signature Stuffed Home Meatloaf is hands down our favourite festive dish in the entire line-up. While Executive Chef Low Hoe Kiat was extremely secretive about his passed-down recipe, we have been told that some of the key ingredients include white wine, creamed bread and ground beef.

It was the best stuffing we have tried; we are not even exaggerating when we say we’d go back to the buffet for this!

Those with a carnivorous appetite can continue their meat indulgence with the Jamaican-style Leg of Lamb with Roasted Garlic and Mint Gravy.

Do take note that the roasts from the carving station are on a rotational basis.

If it is your first time at the hotel, you must try the Slow Braised Pumpkin Crab. The in-house special crab—cooked inside a claypot—is slow-braised with aromatic viscous pumpkin sauce. It is available during Spices Brasserie’s Christmas Festive Dinner Buffet (from Thursdays to Saturdays), as well as Christmas Eve and Day Dinner Buffet.

Here’s the good news: Spice Brasserie’s Christmas Eve and Day Dinner Buffets come with their signature Char-grilled Lobster with Mentaiko Gratin and the aforementioned Slow-Braised Pumpkin Crab in Claypot.

The lobsters are flame-grilled, coated with a rich mentaiko gratin and torched. Regulars would know this is one station to keep going back to.

Last but not least, let us introduce to you the highly anticipated Dessert Room! The Dessert Room boasts over 38 sugary treats on rotation and will be exclusively available for a limited period of time.

There are at least four different types of log cakes displayed every day and flavours include Green Tea, Mango Coconut, Passionfruit and White Chocolate etc. There also other traditional Christmas treats— from Christmas Pudding to Panettone and Stollen.

Come for dinner on Thursdays to Sunday and enjoy live action station with the chefs preparing Flambé Cherries and Crêpe Suzettes!

The only problem would be figuring how to stuff every dish into your belly. #Firstworldproblems.

For those opting for homely gatherings, you can play host to a joyous party with the Festive Platter Takeaway at S$98+. Filled with sliced and ready-to-serve festive favourites like Roast Turkey Slices, Pork Liver with Chestnut Stuffing and classic Cranberry Sauce, Honey-glazed Gammon Ham paired with homemade Peach Sauce, Cumberland Sausage and Salt-crusted Sirloin Beef with Au Jus dip, roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables, this Festive platter is available from now untill 31 December 2016.

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.

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.

Executive Chef Low Hoe Kiat from PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road introduced the Union of Crabs & Lobsters Buffet last month and it sure got the nation all psyched up. At S$118++ for 2 pax, the buffet boasts superb value and the buffet was fully booked out for two months.

But we have great news today. The team has decided to extend the Union Lobster & Crab Buffet Promotion all the way till 29 October 2016! The price will continue to remain at S$118++ for you and your partner and is available every Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Have a deliciously good time indulging in 8 new lobster dishes and 3 of the most popular crabs in the Union of Crabs & Lobsters Buffet.

The Steamed ‘Live’ Boston Lobster in Chinese Wine is the most popular and definitely the best flavour the line-up – only steamed upon order and doused with Chinese wine, then topped off with sliced ginger and coriander.

Another crowd-pleaser is the Flame-grilled Lobster Mentaiko. The lobsters are first flame-grilled, then given a lavish coat of mentaiko sauce and cheese, and torched upon order.

Not forgetting the Lobster Noodle Soup, which is also an a la minute item, and the Lobster Wellington which is a puff pastry filled with minced lobster and other stuffings.

Other lobster dishes include Cuban Lobster Stew, Japanese Lobster Fried Rice, Lobster Congee and the classic Lobster on Ice.

As for crabs, the popular Slow-braised Pumpkin Crab in Claypot from the previous crab buffet has made it to this list due to its overwhelming popularity. In addition, Crab Roe Congee and other traditional flavours such as Black Pepper and Chilli Crabs are also part of the buffet.

If you’ve missed it the previous time, you know you cannot miss it again for the world. This is one of the most value-for-money buffets in Singapore!

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!
