Providing a delectable buffet spread that includes a selection of perfectly grilled premium meat and an extensive salad bar, Rodizio Do Brazil prides itself with using the freshest ingredients to cater to every palate. Health-conscious people would be glad to know that their beef and lamb are grass-fed, which means that they are higher in nutrients and lower in fat.

Situated just minutes away from Clarke Quay Station, this authentic Brazilian restaurant located by the Singapore River is a great spot to unwind after a long day at work and you can gather with your friends and family and treat yourselves to a slew of quality meat dishes at a really reasonable price.

We treated ourselves to their Full Churrasco + Salad Bar Buffet (S$49++ for Adults and S$18++ for Children) and we were completely blown away when the food arrived.

The perfectly grilled meats are threaded onto large skewers and upon being sliced and served tableside, the chef will make it a point to talk about the dish being served, giving diners a better idea of what they’re about to eat.

Meat lovers are spoilt for choice with their wide selection of meats from Beef Rump to Honey Ham Pork and even Grilled Chicken Hearts.

Their signature Beef Rump was extremely tender and well flavoured but what stole our hearts was definitely the Grilled Chicken Hearts. A bite into these tiny morsels will set you on a trip to flavour town and they come with a bounciness similar to fresh squid.

After stuffing yourself with those flaming-hot grilled meats, have yourself some refreshing grilled pineapple to wash down the grease and to give your palate a sweet, refreshing wake up call.

Royale at Mercure Singapore Bugis has, once again, successfully challenged themselves and raised their own bar for buffet spreads. With an extremely competitive pricing coupled with a scrumptious buffet spread that is set to impress, Royale is ready to dazzle with their Surf & Turf buffet lineup that features the house’s best seafood and meat recipes from March to May 2018.

Leading the culinary team is Executive Chef Nicholas Sia who will introduce more than 30 seafood and meat delights that are inspired by Western and Asian cooking techniques. Be treated to the wonders of both land and sea!

The line-up will feature Nyonya Baked Seabass Fillet with Pineapple Slaw, Homemade Lor Mee with Crayfish, BBQ Pork Ribs with Lychee Pearls, and Duck Confit with Tomato and Garlic. And this isn’t all, of course!

From 08 Mar to 27 May 2018, Surf & Turf is available on Thursdays through Sundays for dinner, as well as lunch on Saturday and Sunday at only S$58++ per adult and S$29++ per child. And to sweeten things up, quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon making reservations for a 25% discount.

SURF & TURF WELCOME PLATTER

Diners start off their meal with an exclusive Surf & Turf Welcome Platter to whet their appetites for the massive spread. On the platter sits a serving of Black Pepper Crab Claw in a Bucket, Chessy Clam Gratin and a Beef Slider.

The tantalising Black Pepper Crab stole the show with its rich and earthy black pepper sauce which had an addictive spicy kick to it. Fans of cheese will also take to the Clam Gratin which features a juicy clam and savoury diced mushrooms covered with a golden blanket of baked cheese.

SURF SPECIALS

NYONYA BAKED SEABASS FILLET WITH PINEAPPLE SLAW

If like us, you love traditional Peranakan recipes, the Nyonya Baked Seabass Fillet will fill you with nostalgia. Sticking true to how the Peranakans do it, the homemade marination comprises seven different types of spices and distinctive ones include lemongrass and candlenut. To ensure that all the flavours come through, the fish is marinated overnight.

Pair this with the pineapple slaw given at the side for a refreshing crunch which is a perfect match for this spice-laden seabass.

SAUTÉED WHITE WINE MUSSEL WITH THYME

The chefs at Royale will redefine your perception of mussels being just a filler in a buffet lineup. As one of the star attractions in their Surf & Turf Buffet, these jewels of the sea are first sautéed and simmered with a splash of white wine and thereafter lightly seasoned with thyme—we loved the simple, yet elegant flavours!

SEAFOOD CASSEROLE

Tuck into the magnificent Seafood Casserole—a huge pot filled with all sorts of seafood goodness including prawns, mussels, clams and squids.

A crowd-pleaser, this decadent and comforting dish are for all the guests who enjoy richer and heartier flavours. Besides, who can resist the generous amount of baked cheese added in it? Not us for sure.

TURF SPECIALS

BBQ PORK RIB WITH LYCHEE PEARLS

BBQ pork ribs are aplenty in Singapore but one that is worth trying is Royale’s BBQ Pork Rib with Lychee Pearls—that will also be part of the Surf & Turf Buffet.

The BBQ ribs are slow-cooked in the barbecue grill so the skin is smoky and crispy with slightly charred edges; the meat is fork tender. It is then glazed with a coat of BBQ sauce and topped off with sweet lychee pearls that burst upon biting.

DUCK LEG CONFIT WITH TOMATO AND GARLIC

The Duck Leg Confit with Tomato and Garlic gained instant approval from everyone for its perfect execution. Have the crispy skin and aromatic duck meat in one bite—it brings together a great combination of textures, from the crunchy bits to the tender duck.

The duck we had came with a decent amount of fat too, which attributed greatly to the overall taste because the very idea of confit is to cook the duck in its own fat.

OVEN-ROASTED SIRLOIN FILLET WITH BLACK PEPPER AND FENNEL CONFIT

Another stellar addition in the ‘Turf’ category, this medium-rare steak is probably one of the most prized possession in the entire buffet line up. The lip-smacking sirloin fillet was succulent, juicy and so tender that it melts in your mouth within seconds.

SOUP

PRAWN BISQUE WITH BRANDY

Soup may not be what you will be interested in at a seafood and meat buffet but this will change at Royale.

The glorious Prawn Bisque with Brandy is a very smooth and creamy one that you must try. It is full-bodied and no efforts have been spared in creating this aromatic pot of prawn goodness.

‘LIVE’ STATION

HOMEMADE LOR MEE WITH CRAYFISH

Look out for the Homemade Lor Mee With Crayfish ‘Live’ Station where the chef whips up a comforting bowl of Lor Mee—a popular Hokkien dish commonly found in Singapore and Malaysia. The full-flavoured broth was a clear winner for everyone at the table—with some of us even having seconds.

Chef Nicholas shared that only rich chicken stock is used (by simmering chicken bones for more than four hours) for the lor mee broth. And of course, what differentiates this bowl of Lor Mee apart from what you can get at a hawker centre is the addition of crayfish.

SEAFOOD ON ICE

There is also another seafood on ice counter where you can help yourselves to more seafood.

Savour all the natural flavours of the ocean with the Sweet Poached Prawns, Half Shell Scallops, Locally Farmed Black Mussels and Locally Farmed Clams.

DESSERT GALORE

When you are ready for some sweets, do not be shy about going back for second or third helpings.

Some noteworthy ones in the dessert spread that are the Chocolate Banana Cake, Lemon Meringue Tart, Assorted Mochi and Assorted Agar-Agar.

The Chocolate Banana Cake is everyone’s favourite. Generous layers of bananas are tucked in between chocolate sponge cake, and this is the perfect sweet ending for your Surf & Turf Buffet.

Surf ‘N Turf (An Oriental Original) at the Plaza Brasserie, PARKROYAL on Beach Road, is a glorious buffet spread that features a wide selection of fresh seafood and the finest range of tender meats. Uniquely curated by our friend Executive Chef Ken and his team, expect a fusion of local, Asian and International flavours that guarantee to be a gastronomical delight for all.

As the Surf ‘N Turf (An Oriental Original) will only be running until 26 March 2017, it is crunch time to gather all your family and friends for an indulgent meal.  Make a reservation as soon as possible and dive right into the heart of this seafood and steak extravaganza!

From now until 26 March 2017, enjoy the delights of Surf ‘N Turf (An Oriental Original) at just S$68++ per adult and S$41++ per child, only available for dinner from Wednesdays to Sundays. You can also top-up just S$18 for free-flow house wine/beer and soft drinks.

Crabs will always be a great start to any seafood feast. Although it may require some time and effort to de-shell the seafood, the intense flavours will be worth all the effort.

The steamed crab set on ice is an evergreen way to enjoy fresh crabs. We’d like to think of it as freshness shining through its naked glory.

The Steamed Lobster in Hua Tiao Sauce is to die for. Prepared à la minute, Executive Chef Ken chose the Atlantic Lobster because of its incomparable juiciness and sweetness. The simple garlic and Hua Tiao sauce combination with parsley embellishments did the dish justice by accentuating the freshness of the lobster meat.

This is a bonus on top of the buffet line, and every diner is entitled to one serving of half a lobster.

Other amazing seafood available in the line-up includes mussels, prawns and freshly shucked oysters. When dining, why not drizzle some lemon over your seafood! Not only do the flavours complement each other, the crisp and clean flavours of the lemon will allow the seafood to shine.

Next up is the Grilled Tiger Prawns on Skewers served with fresh thyme garnishings. You can expect a dish of large and juicy tiger prawns with just the right amount of seasoning.

The wide assortment of meats at the Surf ‘N Turf buffet will be sure to delight and satisfy even the most ravenous of meat lovers. From roasted quails to grilled sausages, diners will be spoilt for choice with the meat selection available.

Chef Ken never disappoints; his wealth of experience in preparing Western meats is one that we always look up to him for.

One of our favourites of the Surf ‘N Turf steak selection is the Wagyu MBS3/4 D-Rump; the meat was incredibly soft and tender. Just imagine biting into this juicy piece of meat which has a melt-in-the-mouth texture. We could find no wrong with the roast, and only had praises to sing of its flavours and taste.

Another signature to look out for in the Surf ‘N Turf’s steak selection is the Duroc Spanish Pork Collar. The Duroc Spanish Pork Collar was wonderfully marbled and roasted to perfection. When cut open, the crispy skin of the pork collar revealed plump and juicy meat that left us standing in awe.

Once again, enjoy the Surf ‘N Turf (An Oriental Original) from now until 26 March 2017 for just S$68++ per adult and S$41++ per child during dinner from Wednesday to Sunday only, terms and conditions apply. A top-up of S$18 will give you unlimited servings of house wine/beer and soft drinks.

If you are a DBS/POSB & UOB Credit Card member, there are several dining privileges that you can enjoy at the Surf ‘N Turf buffet. DBS/POSB Credit Card members are entitled to 20% off adult and children buffet prices whilst UOB Credit Card members can enjoy 20% off their total food and beverage bill.

One of the main reasons we manage to get out of bed on Sundays is the prospect of the perfect brunch meal. We have had our fair share of champagne brunches in Singapore but one has always stood out above the rest.

Yes, Hilton Singapore’s exciting lineup in their Sunday Champagne Brunch is what dreams are made of. This time, they have revamped their menu with new dishes and a better dining experience.

What you must look out for is the new dessert bar that has now taken the place of Hilton Singapore’s popular D9 Cakery. Have the best of the cakery’s sweet treats—free-flow! This also means you are entitled to limitless cheesecakes, which are the best in town, by the way.

We were also thrilled by the new cheese room, one that impressed us with the huge variety of artisan and gourmet cheeses including a brand new raclette cheese station. The careful curation and intricate presentation of the spread never fail to impress.

Our readers can quote ‘LIC100BRUNCH’ to get S$80 OFF with minimum of 3 full paying adults. This promotion is valid for the first 100 redemptions.

LUXURIOUS SEAFOOD

The most popular section at any brunch buffet is undoubtedly the seafood section.

And the luxurious spread at Hilton Singapore fulfilled all our wishes because of the huge variety. The oysters alone are worth coming to the brunch, with several varieties to choose from, including the popular sweet Fine De Claire oysters and the meaty Irish Oysters. As oyster-aficionados, freshly-shucked oysters like these are a plus point.

Even if you are not a huge fan of oysters, the shellfish selection is massive. Pick from lobsters, fresh prawns, scallops and more.

The crab legs were especially enjoyable as the flesh was  super meaty and sweet, good on its own, or with a dash of tabasco for that subtle tartness and heat.

LOTS AND LOTS OF MEATS

A  good brunch is not complete without meats and Hilton Singapore’s selection of grilled meats will most definitely satisfy. There is something for everybody. Think Herb-Roasted Lamb Rack, Roasted Sakura Chicken, BBQ Jamon Iberico Pork Ribs and US Prime Ribs.

The Prime Ribs were cooked to a perfect medium rare with a juicy pink center. Of course, the meat is well-seasoned, but an addition of their homemade Peppercorn Sauce just kicks it up a notch. Fans of ribs will go ga-ga over the tender BBQ Jamon Iberico Pork Ribs and the Sakura Chicken is a good choice for anyone who does not take dark meats. We were surprised that the chicken was not dry and still really well cooked and juicy. It is best paired with some Bearnaise – the perfect combination of flavours.

Go ga-ga over the tender BBQ Jamon Iberico Pork Ribs; so tender and flavourful. And the Sakura Chicken is a good choice for anyone who does not take red meats. We were surprised that the chicken was not dry, instead, it was really well cooked and juicy and best paired with some Bearnaise sauce.

A LA MINUTE ITEMS

Most people write noodles or rice dishes off at buffets but the Poached Ramen with Sous Vide 65 Degree Celcius Sakura egg is a gem. The subtle sesame dressing makes it a light option and when you beat and mix the egg together with the other ingredients, each bite is a burst of flavours.

The Homemade Scotch Egg with Black Truffle Hollandaise is a returning favourite. The eggs are cooked upon order so you bet that the scotch eggs will be served to you warm with a beautiful orange runny yolk centre.

Other a la minute items you can look forward to are the Tagliatelle with Sicilian Sauce and Mille-Feuille of Foie Gras & Grain-Fed Tenderloin.

A WHOLE NEW CHEESE ROOM

A spanking new cheese room has been created by the chefs at Hilton Singapore and we felt like a kid in a candy store when we stepped in.

You can find cheeses from all over the world that would suit just about any palette. From simple brie to aged blue cheese, create your ideal cheese platter with a mixture of different cheese. There will also be a cheese specialist who will be there to give you advice should you not know what to go for.

We were inclined to try the Coulommiers Au Lait, a creamy and tasty cow’s milk cheese that is great on a cracker. Some popular options such as Parmigiano Reggiano and Lingot Des Causses are better options for cheese beginners.

However, the undisputed highlight is the raclette cheese counter. This social media superstar is a hot favourite; who does not like melting #cheeseporn?!

The raclette cheese is melted on the spot, before being scraped off onto some bread or potatoes. Have the cheese as quickly as you can to enjoy the warm, melty goodness.

DESSERTS BUFFET, ANYONE?

Because we are huge fans of the sweet treats by D9 Cakery at Hilton Singapore, imagine our joy when we found out that we could enjoy free-flow desserts as part of the champagne brunch.

Yes, that includes its famed cheesecakes! Think American Cheesecake, Blueberry Cheesecake, Pistachio Cheesecake and more; go all out, because there is no limit. And mind you, they typically retail at S$9 per slice!

Other dessert items in the drawers include Lemon Meringue Tart, Crème Caramel and Crème Brulêe, macarons and a whole range of pralines.

Cocobolo Poolside Bar + Grill at Park Hotel Clarke Quay should definitely be on every meat lover’s list for some serious meat feasting this festive season. On top of digging into the conventional turkey and ham, there are many other barbecued treats to look forward to!

Having a BBQ buffet by the pool sounds like a marvellous idea. While you dine on glorious meat, you will also be accompanied by the bar’s breathtaking view of the sunset and city skyline.

To make the buffet even more enjoyable, all Ladyironchef readers are treated to a 20% discount for the festive buffet when you quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon booking!

The New Potato Salad with Bacon in White Wine Vinaigarette and Caramelised Australian Pumpkin & Cranberry are some appetisers to start your meal with.

There’s also Mexican Chilli Con Carne with Nacho (more buffet spreads need to include this!), Cajun Turkey Skewers and Creamy Curry Pumpkin Soup under the appetisers’ section.

Prepare to be greeted by the sight of succulent, tender meats of all kinds. You will get to taste premium quality meats such as the New Zealand Angus Striploin, marinated in Dijon mustard and thyme. Any lamb fans out there? The juicy Murray Bridge Lamb Rack with Rosemary & Garlic will be a real treat for the tastebuds.

There will also be tangy Smoked Paprika Boneless Chicken, as well as a tantalising spread of gourmet sausages.

Seafood choices include Tumeric-laced Arrow Squid, Cajun-spiced Tiger Prawns, and Spanish Mackerel Fillet in Belacan.

Thinking about all the meats and dishes served at the barbecue buffet might have already gotten you excited, but no Christmas dinner is complete without a side of turkey.

The buffet’s highlight is the carving station, where you can get slices of Cajun-spiced Roast Turkey and Spanish-style Roast Suckling Pig with Paprika Sauce.

And we will always have a separate stomach just for sweets and desserts. If you are just like us, then you will definitely love the vibrant array of sugary treats such as the Pecan Pie, Rainbow Cake, and Marble Cheese Cake available at the buffet.

Tuck into more Christmas-themed desserts such as the Christmas Log Cake, Fruit Cake, Christmas Cupcakes, and the list of treats go on.

If you are after a venue that is away from the city crowd, and where you do not have to dress to the nines, then Cocobolo Poolside Bar + Grill at Park Hotel Clarke Quay is for you this Christmas.

For reservations, please call +65 6593 8855 or email fnb.phcq@parkhotelgroup.com. Remember to quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon booking to get 20% discount for the festive buffet at Cocobolo Poolside Bar + Grill.

Festive Barbecue Dinner Buffet (Friday to Sunday)

Dining out during Christmas has its cons; for one, everything becomes a lot more expensive, especially a hotel’s buffet spread. But we were completely surprised by The Carvery at Park Hotel Alexandra when they unveil an extremely affordable holiday-themed buffet starting from only S$45++ per adult and S$25++ per child. All the feasting at such a steal? We are in!

The Carvery is a meat-centric buffet in Singapore where you get to enjoy unlimited premium meats that are freshly sliced to order. This Christmas, think gourmet Yuletide treats such as Spiced Orange Roast Duck and Lamb Leg, as well as comforting classics of Yorkshire Pudding and Seafood Bouillabaisse.

We’ve already said it, and we will say it again – The Carvery has the best value-for-money buffet this Christmas.

And when you dine in the evening at The Carvery during this festive period, you can enter a lucky draw hosted by Park Hotel Alexandra. The prize? A brand new Prada Tessuto Saffiano Shopping Tote Bag worth S$1,520 sponsored by Reebonz!

Sitting within Park Hotel Alexandra and sharing the same level as the infinity pool, The Carvery is an upscale modern European carvery that is set to impress; we’ve dined there on several occasions, and we were never once disappointed by the impeccable quality and presentation. Watch in awe as the skilful chefs prepare wood-fire pizzas and slice grilled meats from the rotisserie.

The cosy interior of The Carvery provides a homely ambience. There is breathable space between every table, yet, the restaurant feels so pleasantly intimate; The Carvery is indeed a home away from home.

And because it is Christmas, wouldn’t it be perfect to start your meal with a bowl of piping hot Russian Borsch with Sour Cream? Made primarily with beef bones and beetroot vegetables, this soup is frequently enjoyed in Central and Eastern Europe.

But what took our breath away was the French classic Seafood Bouillabaisse. This hearty capsicum rouille broth loaded with generous amounts of fresh seafood such as prawns and mussels impressed with its full-bodied flavours; so smooth and easy to drink, and we felt all warm and fuzzy inside with every sip. Seriously, this is the best bouillabaisse we’ve ever tasted.

The main that stole all the limelight at our table was the fragrant Spiced Orange Roasted Duck. Forget the usual duck confits that you know; this entire duck stuffed with oranges and a myriad of spices such as cinnamon, cloves juniper berries and star anise is seasoned with a secret recipe and cooked to perfect tenderness.

Whoever says duck meat is often tough and tasteless obviously haven’t tried this rendition!

The Carvery’s Coffee Roasted Baby Back Ribs have been marinated overnight with a dark, sweet hickory barbecue sauce infused with roasted coffee.

The stack of pork loin back ribs is then placed in a rotisserie cage and slowly roasted. The end result is tender and robustly flavoured ribs that will make you go weak in your knees.

The Lamb Leg with Herbs de Provence is a traditional Southeastern French dish cooked to medium rare. The boneless mutton – coated with Dijon mustard, breadcrumbs and a melange of savoury herbs – is roasted in the oven to produce succulent juicy pink insides that is well contrasted with its crisp exterior.

An accompanying zesty mint sauce is its best complement, and to balance out the gaminess (for those who fear lambs).

Another exclusive festive highlight is the Maple Glazed Salmon baked on a Cedar wood plank. The wood-fired fish – enhanced by smoky cedar flavours – is drizzled with maple butter.

The juicy and fresh Norwegian salmon looked totally unassuming at first glance, but each mouthful is a delightful burst of sweetness. Simple goodness like these sure tug our heartstrings, and it is a must-try for all salmon lovers!

Something British that we always love is Yorkshire Pudding (only available during dinner). No roast is complete without a good pudding, and such is life in Singapore – a good Yorkshire Pudding is hard to come by.

But the ones here at The Carvery always have us craving for more; we’ve long been addicted. Made with eggs, flour, milk and water, the traditional British Sunday Roast staple is available during the regular dinners, but its presence made the festive dining even more rustic with its wonderfully crispy exterior and fluffy inside.

And a whole lot of comforting vegetables await you. They may be “just veggies” to you, but not until you’ve tried them.

From Baked Beetroot with Cider to Buttered Brussel Sprouts and Carrots, Fried Corn on The Cob to Wood-fired Roasted Chestnuts cooked in Coffee Beans; these amazing sides are so good on their own, and are as European and Christmasy as you can get.

All hail the English-inspired Trifle – layers of thick custard, sponge cake and whipped cream interwoven with caramelised apples and brandy-soaked prunes. The Carvery’s selection of classic Christmas treats are irresistible and well worth the calories, we promise.

Last but not least, The Carvery’s take on the traditional fruit cake has led to the birth of their cutesy palm-size Christmas Rum Pudding drizzled with rich and sticky Toffee Sauce.

Apricots, cherries, figs, raisins and other dried fruit peels used in the preparation of these Christmas Rum Puddings have been soaked in rum for more than three months! Such dedication, and how very precious!

This scrumptious festive buffet will be available from 11 Dec 2015 till 01 Jan 2016, starting from S$45++ per adult and S$25++ per child. The dishes are on rotation, but they will all be available during Christmas Day and New Year’s Day Brunch, as well as Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve Dinner.

Diners will be treated to live entertainment of merry carols on Christmas Eve night, and will be given party poppers to welcome Christmas.

Festive Lucky Draw by Park Hotel Alexandra at The Carvery

As mentioned earlier, dinner guests dining during this festive period will stand a chance to enter a lucky draw that is held by Park Hotel Alexandra.

Every table is eligible to win a brand new Prada Tessuto Saffiano Shopping Tote Bag worth S$1,520, sponsored by online luxury merchandise retailer, Reebonz! The lucky draw will be held on Monday, 04 January 2016 and winners be notified via email.

The highlights include Wagyu D-Rump Roast, 200-day Grain-fed Prime Ribs, Angus Beef Tenderloin Roast, Roast Pork Collar as well as exotic meats like Braised Kangaroo Tail, and Braised Ox Tongue… We bet you are just as excited as we are!

For The Love of Roasts is Plaza Brasserie at PARKROYAL On Beach Road’s inaugural presentation of a buffet that is centered around tantalising roasts and exotic meats, and the chefs have definitely gone all out to impress with their best offerings that will feed a king.

[ GIVEAWAY ] We are also giving away 3 pairs of weekday buffet dining vouchers to retreat to an evening of feasting at For The Love of Roasts buffet. Leave a comment below, and share this post on your Facebook timeline to win. More details on the giveaway at the end of this post.

Whenever we go for buffets, we always stay away from the roast section. Well, simply because most of the time, the roasts are over-cooked, dry and nothing near appetising at all. To be honest, we were apprehensive about Plaza Brasserie’s For The Love of Roasts. prior to stepping in. But our worries were eased, and we really could not be more pleased.

The chefs have stayed true to their cooking philosophy – all the roasts and meats are superbly cooked to medium rare. Every slab of meat is prepared to the ideal doneness, with precise control of the temperature and roasting time (chefs’ secret here), and there was not an item that disappointed. Steaks are usually best prepared medium rare, but if you cannot take the sight of red patches in your meat, the chefs will be more than happy to roast your portion till your preferred doneness; your request is their command.

The star of the show is without a doubt the Wagyu D-Rump Roast. In all honesty, we have no idea how Plaza Brasserie manages its food cost by serving wagyu beef in a buffet. While wagyu d-rump is not the most expensive nor the best well-marbled wagyu, it is undisputedly a fine piece of meat and this alone is reason enough to try the buffet. You get to eat all you can here. Yes, you get the idea that you are on your way to heaven.

Pace yourself with the Wagyu D-Rump Roast though, because you would want to save room for the 200-day Grain-fed Prime Ribs and Angus Beef Tenderloin Roast. What more can you ask for when you get such a mouth-watering selection of roast?

It is not every day that you get to try kangaroo meat in Singapore, and if you are adventurous enough, we dare you to try the Braised Kangaroo Tail which is slow cooked for five hours. And by the way, they do not come cheap too even if you can even find them at regular restaurants, so we’d say just go for it! For bone marrow lovers, you will be thrilled to know that you are in for unlimited Baked Bone Marrow for dinner, too.

Continue your feast with Roast Lamb, dry-cured Reserva Ham, Sliced Air-dried Beef, Roast Pork Collar, Kurobuta Pork Sausages and Guinness Beef & Pork Sausages. Alas! We kid you not when we said that the chefs have prepared a lot of meat.

The condiments for the roasts are equally mind-blowing. Choose from béarnaise, black pepper sauce, chilli sauce, green peppercorn sauce, horseradish, hotdog relish, mango chutney, mint jelly, mushroom sauce, mustard, plum sauce, tabasco, thyme jus, and Worcester sauce.

There are also various Chef’s ‘Live’ Cooking Stations that offer Plaza Brasserie’s signature dishes. Our favourite is the Indian food station where you can get really good roti prata – plus free shows by the Indian prata man who flips your dough right before your eyes. This time round, Plaza Brasserie is also having a Risotto Station where the chef will cook Risotto with Mushroom & Pumpkin in summer truffle oil ala minute.

Regulars to Plaza Brasserie will also know to look forward to home-cooked Asian dishes from the signature “Best of Asia” buffet. So much food, so little stomach space.

For a change of taste, head over to the dessert buffet and try Agar Agar, Durian Crepe, Durian Paste, Bubur Cha Cha, Bubur Terigu, Pulat Hitam and Tau Suan!

For The Love of Roasts (S$65++ for adult, and S$39++ for child) is available during dinner buffet (6pm – 10.30pm daily) from 5 September to 26 October 2014. ANZ, CIMB Bank, DBS, Diners Club, HSBC, Maybank, NTUC and OCBC cardholders get to enjoy 15% savings for the buffet dinner, while UOB cardholders get 15% off for the total bill.
