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

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

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

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

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

AUSTRALIAN WAGYU TOMAHAWK STEAK

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

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

SLOW ROASTED RACK OF LAMB

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

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

ALASKAN KING CRAB LEGS

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

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

PAN SEARED CANADIAN KING SCALLOPS

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

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

BAKED OYSTERS

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

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

BLACK PEPPER CRAB

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

PENANG CHAR KOAY TEOW

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

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

PENANG PRAWN NOODLES

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

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

AIR ITAM ASSAM LAKSA

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

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

BRAISED PORK

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

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

This post is brought to you by Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore.

10 at Claymore at Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore is a popular name when it comes to value-for-money buffet spreads and this Lunar New Year, it is no exception. Capturing the flavours of both new and traditional favourites, you can expect a lavish myriad of gourmet delicacies, diners with an affinity for gourmet delicacies that capture the essence of traditionally cooked dishes are bound to be spoilt for choice.

Indulge in a selection of auspicious delicacies that have been specially curated and masterfully executed. Luxurious as the line-up is, we are giving you an opportunity to experience it all without breaking the bank. Simply quote ‘LIC-CNY’ to enjoy the indulgent feast at S$42++ for two for the à la carte set lunch and S$108++ for two for the dinner buffet.

This exclusive promotion is valid from 22 January to 28 February 2018 from Monday to Sunday and especially just for our loyal supporters, we will also be giving you 25% savings on all other à la carte dishes for lunch on weekdays.

Locals and holidaymakers will be pleased to know that while most restaurants will be closed during the Lunar New Year, 10 at Claymore will be operating as per normal—and with a bigger and better menu comprising fresh seafood on ice, a divine dessert spread as well as an array of delicious international and Chinese New Year dishes. Now, have we got your attention yet?

STEAMED COD IN SUPERIOR SOY SAUCE

Fish is often associated with wealth and abundance, which is why it is not uncommon to see fish dishes in Chinese New Year reunion meals.

Cooked and served whole, the colossal fillet of Cod is definitely one dish you should look forward to at the dinner buffet. Perfectly steamed, the fish remains delicately moist. Topped with a savoury-sweet soy sauce and garnished with a mixture of mushrooms, wolfberries and chai po (preserved turnips), we simply loved how the silky meat practically melted in our mouths.

BRAISED PORK BELLY

One of our favourites on this year’s menu is the Braised Pork Belly. Braised over a low flame for a considerable amount of time in a thick and dark soy-based sauce, the pork belly achieves pull-apart tenderness.

Boasting a plentitude of flavours from savoury, sweet and subtly spiced, this is a sure-fire winner that we guarantee you will enjoy. The meat literally melts in your mouth while the gelatine-like layer of fat adds another dimension of texture and flavour. Eaten with their charcoal bun, there really is nothing that can beat this.

EIGHT TREASURE LOTUS LEAF BROWN RICE

If you are a fan of bold flavours, we highly recommend trying the Eight Treasure Lotus Leaf Brown Rice: a traditional Chinese New Year dish.

Steamed in a massive lotus leaf, the brown rice was infused with the lotus flavour that made it incredibly fragrant. The assortment of Chinese sausages and waxed duck provided more depth and savoury taste to the dish.

DRIED OYSTER WITH FATT CHOY

For those unfamiliar with Chinese delicacies, one of the few oriental classics that is eaten almost exclusively during Chinese New Year—and one that you can look forward to on the buffet line—is fatt choy, which for the uninitiated, is basically a braised vegetable dish that typically comprises black moss (fatt choy) and dried oysters (ho see).

The name ‘Ho See Fatt Choy’ itself means to prosper in wealth in Cantonese, which is why this dish is commonly served as a symbol of good fortune at many restaurants and households.

Braised in soy and oyster sauce, the ingredients were exceptionally soft and tender.

CRABMEAT SOUP

Conceptually similar to shark fin soup, this Crabmeat Soup and Superior Fish Maw is a hearty soup to look out for in the buffet line-up.

Cooked with pumpkins and carrots—which explains the soup’s yellowish hue—this tasty soup boasts savoury and subtly sweet qualities. Expect to find premium ingredients such as crab meat, fish lips and for good measure, scallops as well.

NIAN GAO

The Sticky Rice Cake—otherwise known as nian gao in Mandarin—is an oriental sweet treat that Chinese people eat every Chinese New Year. This glutinous rice-based cake is commonly deep-fried with an egg wash (much like French toast) and the end result is an incredibly chewy cake encased in a golden crisp.

At 10 at Claymore, the chefs turn it up a notch by sandwiching the Nian Gao between a layer of regular sweet potato and purple sweet potato, to which the layered dish is battered and fried to golden perfection. Pleasantly crisp and mildly sweet, this makes for a pretty spot-on dessert item.

PROSPERITY PACIFIC YUSHENG

Keeping with the tradition of ushering in the Lunar New Year with a prosperity toss, 10 at Claymore’s Prosperity Pacific Lo Hei makes for a perfect entrée with its bed of fresh julienned carrots, radish, lettuce, cucumber and pomelo. A sweet plum sauce is drizzled over the “Chinese salad” and chunks of crispy fish skin topped the dish for a medley of flavours and textures.

Every table is entitled to a complimentary serving of the Prosperity Pacific Lo Hei for both lunch and dinner with servings tailored to your party of family and friends.

BOSTON LOBSTER ON ICE

Regulars to 10 at Claymore will always look out for the Boston Lobster on Ice. Now, who can resist unlimited fresh Boston lobsters?

CANTONESE ROAST DELIGHTS & MORE

Besides Chinese New Year dishes, there is also a mouth-watering selection of Asian and Western delights to be had at the dinner buffet line-up. We are talking about authentic Chinese roast meats, fresh seafood on ice, the highly acclaimed Baked Oysters in Chillies and even our all-time-guilty-pleasure, prosciutto.

These items are on rotation and are subjected to the change and availability of seasonal produce but the quality remains consistent throughout.

À LA CARTE SET LUNCHES

Diners will get to enjoy weekday à la carte set lunches (S$28++ per adult) that comprise the Steamed Lotus ‘Lap Mei’ Brown Rice, Double Boiled Golden Fishmaw Crabmeat Broth as well as one main dish of which you have the option to choose out of a selection of 3.

Take your pick from the Traditional Steamed Cod Fish with Chicken Shredded Black Fungus, Braised Pork Belly ‘Dong Po Rou’ with Bun or Oven Roasted Chicken with Fragrant Garlic Almonds. But before your meal commences, you will first have the customary lo hei or prosperity toss that comes complimentary for each table regardless of the number of guests.

Don’t forget to quote ‘LIC-CNY’ to enjoy this all-you-can-eat indulgent feast at S$42++ for two for the à la carte set lunch and S$108++ for two for the dinner buffet.

This post is brought to you by Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore.

Among one of the most popular dining destinations in the city and one of our personal favourites when it comes to international buffet spreads is 10 at Claymore at Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore. This award-winning buffet restaurant is a true highlight for carnivores, local food connoisseurs, and just about anyone who appreciates an endless spread of tasty treats.

This Christmas, 10 at Claymore is set to enthral guests and diners with a Yuletide menu that pairs traditional favourites subtly imbued with tropical flavours. Promising a medley of both new and traditional favourites, expect a stellar array of edible treats such as the succulent Herb Crusted Organic Rack of Lamb, Roasted Turkey, Honey Baked Ham as well an extensive line-up of thematic desserts perfect for the little ones.

We know that dining out during the festive period can be an expensive affair but to enjoy this delectable buffet, your wallet won’t have to take a beating. Simply quote ‘ladyironchef festive dinner buffet’ to enjoy the Festive Dinner Buffet at S$108++ for two. In other words, you only have to pay S$54++ each for an eat-all-you-want Christmas dinner!

Tropical Festive Delights begins on 20 November 2017 all the way through to 14 January 2018, so if you haven’t yet made plans this holiday season, 10 at Claymore is a good place to start.

HERB CRUSTED ORGANIC RACK OF LAMB

Encrusted with layers upon layers of herbs and coarse salt, the Herb Crusted Organic Rack of Lamb is sure to fire up your Christmas—in a good way.

The lamb meat lovers would celebrate at the sight of the Herb Crusted Organic Rack of Lamb. This aromatic treat boasts a crunchy, salty and charred exterior that is heavily accented by nuances of rosemary and other herbs.

The accompanying potato puree with chives further elevates this classy dish. Additionally, the chargrilled asparagus and tomatoes add a smoky element to the overall flavour.

Cooked in the oven to achieve that perfect pink hue in the middle, this gorgeous rack of lamb is tender beyond belief. Upon serving, it is then finished off a second time on the grill to develop a beautifully charred crust as well as to lock in those precious lamb juices.

ROASTED TURKEY

Come 15 December 2017, the classic Christmas Roasted Turkey—with all its trimmings intact—will make its debut on the buffet table accompanied by a refreshing, zesty pineapple chutney made in-house by the resident chefs.

While most people would associate turkey with being a dry meat, we beg to differ when it comes to 10 at Claymore’s version. Adopting a simple yet precise cooking technique, it ensures that the turkey is able to remain moist all around from breast to thigh.

However, we will admit that turkey in itself is pretty flavourless (turkeys being turkeys, right?), which is why you should have it with either the giblet sauce, cranberry chutney or pineapple chutney.

Saving you the hassle—and possible embarrassment—of carving this colossal bird yourself, allow the expert chefs to do so for you over at the hot carving live station.

HONEY BAKED HAM

A massive bone-in ham is considered a traditional dish and one that is closely associated with modern Christmas, historical Yule and is a common centrepiece at many dinner tables during the holidays.

Fork tender and brimming with sweet and savoury flavours, the Honey Baked Ham is one meaty classic that will have you diving in for seconds and even thirds.

Fresh out of the oven, the stunning ham is finished off with a generous basting of honey, giving it a nice sheen and its iconic sweet taste.

FRESH SEAFOOD AND ALASKAN CRAB CLAWS ON ICE

Diners who know and love 10 at Claymore for its fresh seafood can look forward to a generous spread of shellfish and tasty crustaceans. Making an appearance as part of Christmas in the tropics is the Alaskan Crab Claw. Free-flow sweet and juicy crab? Yes, we’re in.

THEMATIC DESSERTS GALORE

No festive celebration is complete without something sweet to round off your palate. Top off your delicious meal with their myriad of Christmas sweets and desserts that come in the form of thematic cookies, log cakes and even a chocolate house so exquisite that it would be a crime to break it apart.

Once again, do remember to quote ‘ladyironchef festive dinner buffet’ to enjoy the Festive Dinner Buffet at S$108++ respectively for two. In other words, you only have to pay S$54++ each for an eat-all-you-want dinner feast. Considering the original price per head for the Festive Dinner Buffet is S$72++, this is quite a steal!

This post is brought to you by Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore.

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

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

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

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

JAMÓN IBÉRICO FROM SPAIN

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

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

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

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

BELON AND FINE DE CLAIRE OYSTERS

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

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

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

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

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

BOSTON LOBSTER

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

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

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

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

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

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

It 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.

Hands up if you love oysters just as much as we do! Let your taste buds travel all the way to Canada, France, Ireland, Australia and the USA with these plump and juicy oysters. An all-you-can-eat oyster buffet is a dream come true for shellfish aficionados!

For those just starting out on oysters, you may not know that oysters from different regions around the world have their own unique identity. Oysters do not taste the same!

10 at Claymore is the perfect place for you to treat yourselves to the different varieties before you decide on the ones you would go for extra helpings. After all, no one is going to fault you if you so decide to eat every single variety and as many pieces as you want.

If you are a beginner making your first tasting of oysters, we recommend you start with the plump and smooth American Oysters from Washington Bay as they are milder in flavours and definitely not overwhelming. If you prefer something sweeter, go for the Canadian Fanny Bay Pacific Oysters, these have a briny taste with a distinct cucumber finish.

If lighter flavours are not your thing, head 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.

One of the best things we love about having oysters at 10 at Claymore is how each and every oyster is freshly shucked right before you! This season your oysters will be shucked by none other than Chef Eric Cheam, one of the restaurant’s resident chefs and runner-up in the recent Singapore 21^st Guinness Oyster Opening Championship!

CANADIAN LOBSTER WITH GARLIC HERB BUTTER

Your feast does not stop here. For the first time ever, 10 at Claymore is bringing the buffet spread up a notch by introducing the finest lobster dishes.

Canadian Lobster with Garlic Herb Butter is our favourite lobster dish and was the first one to be polished off by all of us sitting at the table. It was masterfully executed—with creamy and rich garlic herb butter on fresh lobster meat as the highlight.

ASIAN FUSION SLIPPER LOBSTER IN SPECIAL KAM HEONG SAUCE

Singaporeans always make it a point to order Kam Heong dishes at zi char stalls because it is an all-time favourite and the robust taste is something we can always seek comfort in.

Look out for the Asian Fusion Slipper Lobster in special Kam Heong (Golden Fragrance) sauce in the buffet spread. 10 at Claymore’s rendition of the familiar spice blend is a lovely combination of spicy and savoury flavours which come from aromatic curry leaves, chopped chilli and crispy bits of dried shrimps.

STIR-FRIED BOSTON LOBSTER WITH GARLIC AND GINGER

With so many outstanding dishes, remember to make room for the Stir-fried Boston Lobster with Garlic and Ginger. This method of stir-frying lobsters is a perennial Chinese classic and is a fantastic addition to the lobster spread.

LOBSTER ON ICE

There is no way we are leaving out the fresh Lobster on Ice. Using only fresh Boston Lobsters, you can expect high-quality seafood when it comes to 10 at Claymore. The purists will enjoy the sweetness of the tender and juicy lobster meat on its own.

For something heavier on the palate, choose among various dipping sauces including cocktail sauce, wasabi mayonnaise and homemade Thai sauce.

Diners can also expect a mouth-watering array of seafood on ice, sashimi and the usual Asian and International hot food stations. End your meal on a sweet note with a spectacular selection of desserts featuring homemade pastries, chocolate fondue fountain and signature crepes that come in many flavours.

Judging by the overwhelming success of their previous Spring Time Oyster Rhapsody buffet, our advice – book early, in fact – book now!

When it comes to value-for-money where buffets are concerned, this season’s Oyster and Lobster Occasions Buffet at 10 at Claymore is a hard one to beat!

Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore has been among Singaporeans’ favourites when it comes to a resplendent buffet spread at very, almost astoundingly, affordable prices.

You might recall its resoundingly successful Pearl of The Orient Penang Fiesta from last year with an unbelievable buffet line-up featuring Penang dishes and oysters.

Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore has brought back this sell-out buffet, where you not only get to enjoy Chef’s Andy Penang classics but also freshly shucked oysters and lobsters. Yes, all FREE FLOW.

Quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy a Pearl Of Orient Penang Fiesta Dinner buffet at S$98++ for 2 persons. This is one buffet you MUST go for.

Savour Chef Andy’s Penang classics, a labour of his heritage and love for Penang. One absolute must-try at the buffet line-up is the Penang Assam Curry Fish—a new addition to this year’s line-up and one that left a great impression on all of us.

Other Penang classics to love include the Penang Char Koay Teow (our all-time favourite!), Penang Rojak, Penang Char Assam Laksa and Penang Bak Kut Teh.

As if this isn’t a feast on its own, the buffet line-up also includes an array of all-you-can-eat fresh seafood. Who wouldn’t enjoy unlimited oysters and lobsters? There will be three different kinds of oysters and they are all freshly shucked on the spot for your enjoyment.

Now, tell me if you can find a better deal than this. If you cannot, what are you waiting for?

To redeem the offer, you can quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy the Penang Fiesta buffet at S$58++ for two (U.P. S$42++ per pax) during lunch from Monday to Friday, and at S$98++ for two (U.P. S$68++ per pax) during dinner from Monday to Sunday.

This post is brought to you by Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore.

This March, the Pearl Of Orient Penang Fiesta makes its return to the award-winning 10 at Claymore, situated in the lobby of Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore.

Since its debut last year, Executive Chef Andy Oh (who hails from the quaint town of Penang, Malaysia), has worked with his team to put together a big spread of authentic Penang dishes, which features iconic dishes as the tangy, spicy Penang Assam Curry Fish and the traditional Penang Bak Kut Teh. 

The Pearl Of Orient Penang Fiesta will only be running until the end of May this year, so be sure to make a reservation and have a taste of the finest and authentic Penang cuisine in Singapore.

On top of the Penang dishes, the buffet also features fresh offerings of seafood, especially freshly shucked oysters, lobsters and scallops—you will get your money’s worth when you dine there during dinner.

From 01 March 2017 to 31 May 2017, simply quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy a Pearl Of Orient Penang Fiesta Dinner buffet at S$98++ for 2 persons.

During the process of creating this menu, Executive Chef Andy and his team sought to design a menu that would reflect and “carry on the tradition of offering a variety of classic Penang dishes to bring diners as close as possible to the experience of walking along the streets of Penang.”

With that mission in mind, diners would be pleased to note that ingredients used have either been directly sourced from Penang or are the freshest and most premium of ingredients from local suppliers.

One dish you must look out for is the new Penang Assam Curry Fish. This is definitely one of the most exciting dishes that Executive Chef Andy has added this season!

We loved it for its extremely tasty and tangy sauce. Till today, we cannot forget that distinct aroma when the dish was first served to us. The robust flavours lingered, and we are salivating just at the thought of it now!

The Penang Nonya Perut Yikan is a dish that is prepared with Fish Stomach meat—a rarity in Singapore. Although most would usually avoid eating this part of the fish, we encourage you to throw away all preconceived notions of the fish stomach and to dig right into this dish.

The meat is soft and tender sans the overly strong fishy smell.

Although the signatures of 10 at Claymore include the Penang Char Assam Laksa and the Penang Prawn Noodles, our absolute favourite has still got to be, and will always be the Penang Char Koay Teow.

As the saying goes, old is gold. This is the dish that most would definitely want to get their hands on during a trip to Penang. The tasty fried flat noodles, coupled with juicy prawns and Blue Crab meat (oh my goodness!) amongst other ingredients, is accompanied by the distinct Wok Hei taste that is so hard to replicate and find in Singapore today.

One of our favourite dishes of the buffet is the traditional Penang Bak Kut Teh. A pork rib broth infused with special herbs and Sarawak peppercorn, Executive Chef Andy’s version of the Bak Kut Teh is a blend of both the peppery Singaporean version and herbal Malaysian style.

The broth is extremely nourishing for it is cooked with dang gui, chuan kong and ginseng root. What made this broth perfect for us was the slight hint of pepper amidst the amazing aroma of pork.

A crispy tart shell that is filled with savoury sliced vegetables and prawns, the Penang Kueh Pie Tee is another intricate yet simple and timeless Penang dish that is hard to not love.

This year, the Pearl of Orient Penang Fiesta buffet spread will also carry one of our local favourites—the five spices Ngoh Hiang. Paired together with sliced century eggs, this was a dish that we thoroughly enjoyed as the beancurd skin was crispy and the meat filling was super juicy!

The rojak offered at this year’s Penang Fiesta would comprise for the first time, Penang Pasembur (a rojak that is almost similar to our Singapore Indian Rojak). When eaten, it is dipped into a savoury, spicy sauce served on the side.

What makes the Pasembur really special is that it is closely associated with Penang, and can be eaten at Gurney Drive.

Then there is the Penang Rojak – also known as mixed fruit salad with shrimp paste – made with the shrimp paste hand-carried by Executive Chef Andy, all the way from his hometown in Penang.

It was brilliant. The Penang Rojak’s sweet sauce is infused with rich prawn flavours before being showered with a generous helping of peanuts, which brings about the ideal balance of sweet and salty.

Compared to regular expectations of a Singapore-style rojak, we are confident that this dish will strike a positive chord with all, even for those who usually avoid eating rojak.

Before you stuff yourselves silly with all the other savoury dishes, do make sure that you leave some space for the great spread of homemade Penang desserts; the Penang Kueh Katayap and the Penang Ondeh Ondeh are to die for.

Indeed, it is the touch of hands that really transforms a dish from zero to hero. Pastry Chef Eric has made the Penang Kueh Talam from scratch by extracting the juice from pandan leaves as well as freshly grated coconut milk.

When we tasted the Penang Kueh Talam, the dessert had an extremely smooth texture, and the fragrant flavours of the coconut and pandan melted in our mouths. Definitely a must-try, guys!

Once again, our readers can quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy the Penang Fiesta buffet at S$58++ for two (U.P. S$42++ per pax) during lunch from Monday to Friday, and at S$98++ for two (U.P. S$68++ per pax) during dinner from Monday to Sunday.

If you are going for lunch, do note that it is more of an international buffet with a limited selection of Penang dishes; only the signature Penang items will be available. The dinner buffet is where you get the full range of the Penang local dishes that we’ve featured in this post.

However, do also note that the menu items at the Penang Fiesta buffet are on a rotational basis, and subject to change without prior notice.

This exclusive promotion** is available from 01 March 2017 to 31 May 2017, terms and conditions apply.

This post is brought to you by Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore.

10 at Claymore at Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore has successfully established itself as the go-to place for a value-for-money buffet. It is especially well-known for their freshly shucked oysters and Penang local delights. Dishes are on a rotational basis, whereby the gourmet highlights would largely depend on the period’s festivity.

We hope you guys thoroughly enjoyed last year’s yuletide feast at 10 at Claymore! This year, the award-winning hotel establishment is launching a curated Spring Time Oyster Rhapsody Buffet, where you can sink your teeth into unlimited Lunar New Year delicacies such as Eight Treasure Lotus Leaf Rice, Superior Fish Maw Soup and Yu Sheng at very affordable prices.

Apart from that, the buffet lineup also features many of its popular Penang classics such as Char Koay Teow and Bak Kut Teh, as well as free-flow oysters from five different countries.

Quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy an all-you-can-eat indulgent feast at S$58++* for two during lunch (U.P. S$42++/pax) and S$98++ for two during dinner (U.P. S$68++/pax). This exclusive promotion** is valid from 10 Jan 2017 to 28 Feb 2017 (blackout dates apply).

While most places are closed during Lunar New Year, locals and holidaymakers would be pleased to hear that 10 at Claymore will be operating as per normal—and with a bigger and better menu. This Chinese New Year, be pampered with a Chinese New Year buffet which includes fresh seafood, a divine dessert spread and an array of international dishes.

A traditional lion dance performance will be held at Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore’s hotel lobby on 03 Feb 2017 at 9am. Tourists and locals on a staycation should definitely wake up early to check out this auspicious dance performance.

Now, let’s get back to the main topic: Food.

No Chinese New Year is complete without Yu Sheng. We understand that the preparation for a family meal could be arduous, so why not take a backseat this year and allow the restaurant’s A team to handle this stressful responsibility?

All you have do is to pick up the gigantic chopsticks and toss to prosperity!

Penang native Executive Chef Andy Oh and his talented crew have gone through the lengths to ensure you feel at home!

Lo Hei aside, you can too anticipate other signature symbolic dishes such as Fatt Choy with Sea Cucumber and Eight Treasure Lotus Leaf Rice that your in-laws will approve.

For those unfamiliar with Chinese delicacies, this is the perfect opportunity to sample a variety of oriental classics. The Fatt Choy—which by the way, sounds like ‘getting rich’ in Cantonese—is a dish which symbolises wealth.

The pen cai is basically a casserole filled with this Fatt Choy we were talking about, braised dried oysters, leafy greens, sea cucumber and prawns. When you talk about luxurious lunar dish, people would think of pen cai, and this will be part of the buffet line-up where you can help yourselves to unlimited portions!

The Sticky Rice Cake—otherwise known as Nian Gao in Mandarin—is an oriental sweet treat that the Chinese would eat every Chinese New Year.

The glutinous rice-based cake is deep-fried with an egg wash and the end result is an incredibly chewy cake encased in a golden brown crisp. The consumption of the Nian Gao is associated with achieving greater heights.

By now, you would have noticed that each Chinese New Year dish has a meaning behind it. Fish is an important ingredient in every Lunar New Year meal as it indicates abundance. From Norwegian fresh salmon sashimi, Hong Kong-style Steamed Grouper to Superior Fish Maw Soup, you will have your fair share of fish dishes here at the buffet. The more, the merrier!

To get the most bang for your buck, head to the Seafood Harvest and Japanese Display Counter and pile your plates with endless Indonesian Mud Crab, Pacific Short Neck Clam, Vietnamese Tiger Prawn, New Zealand Green Lip Mussel, Salmon Sashimi, Maguro, Oysters and more!

Besides Chinese New Year dishes, there is also a mouthwatering selection of Asian and Western delights.

We are talking about authentic Penang hawker fare, Chinese roast meats and Western roasts. The items are on rotation and are subjected to the change and availability of seasonal produce but the quality remains consistent throughout.

Admittedly, the free-flow freshly shucked opulent oysters from five different countries will always be the biggest draw at 10 at Claymore. The decadent variety will make you lose your mind, i.e. Canadian Family Bay Oysters, French Oysters, Irish Premium Oysters, New Zealand Pacific Oysters and the United States Washington Bay Oysters.

This alone is reason enough for us to return to the buffet at Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore over and over again.

P.S. The oysters are only available during dinner buffet.

10 at Claymore’s massive dessert spread will have your little ones grinning from ear to ear. Just look at the chocolate fountain and the sheer number of cakes!

There is also a Crêpe live station where you can request for a cooked-to-order French crêpes. The choice of fillings includes Nutella, peanut, blueberry, strawberry, peach, fresh cream and even durian.

Now, don’t you agree that this is buffet spread with an irresistible promotion?

Everyone loves Christmas and we look forward to festive feastings every year. Unfortunately, the annual yuletide celebration is never quite a wallet-friendly event. We know how you feel, we really do. Dining out with the family—especially a big one—is always a pricey affair.

But it doesn’t actually always have to be. This December, Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore’s 10 at Claymore is offering a splendid Festive Buffet to our readers at incredibly affordable prices.

Simply quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy a Festive Lunch Buffet and Festive Dinner Buffet at just S$58++* and S$98++* respectively for two. In other words, you only have to pay S$29++ each for an eat-all-you-want feast (for lunch). These promotions are reserved exclusively for you, and it is definitely the most value-for-money hotel dining deal thus far.

If you have yet to make any plans for Christmas celebration, it is about time you do so!

Awarded the “Best Buffet” accolade by RAS Epicurean Award 2016, 10 at Claymore’s Festive Buffet Spreads features a menu curated by Executive Chef Andy Oh.

A plethora of delicacies such as Blackmore Wagyu, Herb Crusted Organic Lamb Rack, Honey Baked Ham and Roasted Turkey awaits, and the list goes on, but we will let you discover the rest by yourselves.

The international restaurant has gained quite a reputation for itself with its decadent array of freshly shucked oysters hailing from several different countries. We are glad to see the premium seafood making a comeback for the upcoming Festive Buffet.

P.S. Oysters are only available during festive dinner buffet and are unavailable during festive lunch buffet.

Continue your raw seafood rampage at the Japanese counter, where you can load up your empty plates with endless portions of salmon and tuna sashimi.

Ready for the classic Christmas item? You won’t want to miss out on 10 At Claymore’s Traditional Roasted Whole Turkey.

Turkeys are usually tough and tasteless, but we swear this is just the best one we’ve tasted this year. The fragrant fork-tender poultry was so succulent and juicy, we did a double take and thought it was chicken! It tasted superb on its own, but even better when eaten with the homemade giblet sauce and cranberry chutney.

The hot carving live station also features other succulent meats such as the Char-grilled “Cape Bryon” Angus Prime Rib, Honey Baked Ham and Homemade Gourmet Linguica Sausages. The aromatic beef that we had was so juicy and tender.

Help yourselves to unlimited portions of sides—Baked Potato loaded with bacon and cheese, Cranberry Chutney, Chestnut Stuffing and the juiciest Tomatoes on Vine.

The kids are not left out! They would love the Cheese Baked Potato and Macaroni, Chicken Cheesy Frank, Chicken Nugget, Fish Finger, Mini Beef Burger, Petite Hawaiian Pizza and a fine collection of cheeses.

And then, there is the desserts section—something we all look forward to at every buffet. Indulge in festive sweets such as Signature Cottage Danish and Butter Pudding served with chocolate sauce, strawberry coulis and vanilla crème anglaise and Kapiti’s New Zealand Premium Ice Cream.

Looking for a venue to host corporate luncheons or a private space for that family Christmas meal? You have an option here.

Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore is also hosting a luxurious and exclusive Christmas three-hour luncheon in a private banquet setting—fully decked out in festive ornaments—at S$888++ for a table of ten diners on Christmas Day itself.

Enjoy the exclusivity of dining in a private room on Christmas Day itself whilst catching up with your loved ones, exchanging presents and feasting on gourmet yuletide dishes. Expect no less than an impressive variety of delicacies and the opportunity to carve a turkey.

Do remember to catch Christmas carollers live at Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore’s hotel lobby at 12.30pm and 7.30pm on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and be enthralled by their melodious tunes.

This year, the crowd-favourite Penang buffet at 10 at Claymore has returned after a 5-year hiatus, only to present the most glorious Pearl of Orient Penang Fiesta. The team is all ready to impress with authentic Penang dishes, with ingredients specially sourced and flown in from Penang!

From 01 April to 31 May 2016, the special feature will be available at 10 at Claymore at Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore as an addition to their current running menu. This means that you can savour quality seafood, appetisers and regular mains, on top of an array of Penang delights.

And especially for you, our beloved readers, we have a deal of the century for you. From 01 April to 15 April 2016, if you are dining in a pair (or in pairs), quote ‘I Love Penang Food’ upon making reservations to enjoy the very special and exclusive price of S$98 for two!

There is nothing like a meal of comforting and tasty Penang fare at 10 at Claymore’s Pearl of Orient Penang Fiesta and here is what we loved.

To begin our story, you will be happy to know that the Executive Chef Andy Oh and his team are Penang natives.

They fly back to Penang so very often to source for local ingredients, and to revisit their favourites back home so as to gain deeper understanding of their cuisine and roots; you can be assured that their cooking will be both authentic and made from the heart.

We could definitely taste the heart and soul in every dish served.

To be frank, our initial favouritism went towards the Penang Famous Char Koay Teow and for the fact that it is an award-winning dish by Chef Andy. Of course, we were not disappointed.

The immediate taste of wok hei was prominent and well balanced. And the saltiness of the Chinese preserved sausage was equitable to the lighter blue crab lump meat that was generously tossed together with the noodles.

We love a good bowl of Prawn Noodles. The broth of the one we had from the buffet was flavourful, and the evident robust taste is the essence of brewing the broth for many hours. Free flow prawn noodles? Yes, please.

Penang Laksa should be two things – tasty and sour. By sour, we mean that very distinct taste from the Assam paste that differentiates this dish from everything else.

The Assam Laksa is prepared with fresh Barramundi Fillet to amp it up a notch and we definitely appreciated that extra premium touch.

Chef Andy wanted a way to fuse Malaysian-style Bak Kut Teh – which is typically herbal – with the peppery style that Singaporeans are familiar with.

So, he reinterpreted both traditional Bak Kut Tehs and came up with his “fusion rendition” – a broth that has a primary herbal note, with an underlying peppery base that is not overwhelming, yet distinct enough for that kick. Pig stomach, Kurobuta pork ribs, beancurd skin and more are all the goodness you can find in the soup.

We must say that he did a fantastic job and we couldn’t stop ourselves from going for second helpings.

The Cuttlefish Kang Kong is synonymous with Penang and it might look simple but the actual process of making the sauce from scratch is already an arduous one.

It is unbelievably tasty with crunchy cuttlefish, nicely blanched Kang Kong and the ‘glue’ that holds the dish together – a special sweet sauce all the way from Penang itself. You must however, dip into some of the belacan chili at the side for the spice that will elevate the taste of the dish.

The Lor Bak is a mix of Ngoh Hiang, ginger, Century egg and more – all to be eaten with the dip served on the side. While this dish was not as exciting as the rest, we thought it was still very well put together and serves as a nice appetiser to kickstart your meal.

Could we be anymore impressed with this dish?!

These Assam King Prawns was easily the highlight of our entire meal. Because it was deep-fried first before tossing in the sauce, all the juices and flavours from within the prawns and the heads are amplified in the process. The large prawns remained succulent and we almost wanted more of the Assam sauce just because we couldn’t get enough of it.

Penang rojak is not that different from the ones we have locally and the one by Chef Andy is pretty good. The peanut sauce was spot on without being overly rich nor cloyingly sweet, and pineapples were fresh and crunchy just the way we like it.

We also sampled the Popiah and Kueh Pie Ti and they were both really tasty. The Popiah in particular left a lasting impression because Chef Andy incorporated XO sauce into it for a flavour boost. Blue crab meat lumps are also used to give it an uncommon textural variation.

We couldn’t call it a day without at least a spoonful of the Famous Penang Teow Chew Chendol that has Pandanus Rice Jelly, fresh coconut cream, red bean and an optional durian paste that you can add on.

Now, does that not sound exciting?

A selection of Nyonya Kuehs are also part of the Penang feast line up, and they include the classics such as Ondeh Ondeh, Lapis Sagu (Rainbow Kueh) and Kueh Salat.

If you prefer a slightly savoury option to complete your feast, go for the signature Penang Ban Chang Kueh which has been done in a “crepe” form stuffed with the usual condensed milk and crush peanuts. Chef Andy has also added sweet corn for a touch of sweetness and texture.

You can also get drink such Milo XL (Milo Dinosaur), Bandung or Calamansi Juice for just S$6nett each.

While 10 at Claymore has a selection of international delights in its regular buffet spread, we say you put your focus on the more than amazing Penang dishes. That aside, we want to remind you that for the price you pay, you are entitled to EVERYTHING in the buffet spread, inclusive of fresh oysters and lobsters. Yes, “free flow lobsters” are some of our favourite things to hear.
