Remember Lobsterfest 2015 that drove everyone crazy? The ultimate lobster buffet returns to Lime at PARKROYAL on Pickering for a second run, and the dinner buffet will take take centre stage at Lime every night from 27 May to 19 Jun 2016.

Using only the freshest Maine lobsters, you will be treated to a mind-boggling spread of these luxurious crustaceans prepared in many ways. Some popular cooking styles and flavours from last year will be making an appearance again this year, such as the Singapore Chilli Lobster and Black Pepper Lobster.

Of course, apart from the lobster features, you have your regular international buffet spread which includes fresh seafood on ice, signature Nyonya station and Lime’s iconic Matcha chocolate fondue fountain. Ready for The Ultimate Lobster Buffet in Singapore?

MAINE LOBSTER THERMIDOR WITH PERSILLADE CRUST

Among the new additions is this glorious Maine Lobster Thermidor with Persillade Crust. Because Executive Chef Deepak is trained in French cuisine, he has used his flair to create this mouth-watering lobster dish. 

A Lobster Thermidor is essentially a French-style dish consisting of a creamy mixture of lobster meat, egg and brandy stuffed into the lobster shell. In this case, Chef Deepak mixed the lobster meat with mushrooms to create a nice textural bite.

We are especially fond of the persillade crust, which is a mixture of finely chopped parsley, garlic and herbs.

MAINE LOBSTER WITH SALTED EGGS

Salted egg is undoubtedly a crowd-favourite that just has to be part of every menu. Why, lobster with salted eggs sounds like a marvelous idea, too!

Tossed with curry leaves, cut chillies and tremendous amounts of flavourful salted egg, every bite is an explosion of flavours. Because the lobsters are tossed in a wok, you would be able to taste the wok hei - the fragrance of the essence of stir-frying over extremely high heat.

MAINE LOBSTER WITH TRUFFLED HOLLANDAISE AND ESPELETTE

Chef Deepak’s love for French cuisine has also inspired him to create the Maine Lobster with Truffled Hollandaise and Espelette.

As if creamy Hollandaise wasn’t great enough, truffle is added to enhance the sauce. When put to grill, every Maine lobster is nicely baked with a lovely charred fragrance. The slightly burned edges enhanced the taste too, and it is a complex and robust flavour altogether, though still very easy on the palate.

SINGAPORE CHILLI LOBSTER

Yes, yes and yes. Singapore is known for our chilli crab, but at Lime, you can enjoy the same cooking style in the form of lobsters.

The Singapore Chilli Lobster here is cooked just like a classic Singapore Chilli Crab, with a rich eggy chilli sauce base that is sweet and spicy. Best eaten with glistening deep-fried mantou buns – this is a given, yes?

BLACK PEPPER LOBSTER

Now, this isn’t for the faint-hearted. You must think it is “just” black pepper, but the lobsters at Lime are tossed in a great amount of intense black pepper sauce, producing a very robust and stellar taste that can get pretty addictive. Or it might just be too hot for you altogether if you are not fond of spicy food.

Either way, you have to give it a try. Those who are up for the spice game, go for seconds. Free flow is the deal, right?

LOBSTER BISQUE-BASED RISOTTO WITH MASCARPONE & LOBSTER MEAT

Words cannot completely describe our first taste of this risotto. It is an understatement to say that this risotto is delicious.

Chef Deepak first cooks the risotto rice perfectly al dente in a rich lobster bisque, and this coats every grain with flavour. He then tosses in fresh lobster meat and light mascarpone cheese and butter to create a smooth consistency.

When eaten warm, you would learn that the fragrance of the rice grains is subtle yet memorably sweet, and is very well complemented with the sweet-savoury mascarpone and lobster mixture.

LOBSTER MAC & CHEESE

Nobody says no to Lobster Mac & Cheese. This is a new addition to the lobster buffet, and the creamy goodness is one so well-balanced that it is impossible to resist. We had seconds, because the sweetness of the fresh lobster meat was so well complemented by the savoury cheese.

MANY OTHER KINDS OF LOBSTER DISHES TO LOVE

A returning dish is the lobster “luxe-sa”. The Nyonya-style noodle dish comes with a rather spicy and less milky base. While the usual laksa renditions are wonderful with cockles and fish cakes, we like the idea of having an extra lobster in ours.

There will be other lobster dishes at the lobster buffet too, such as poached lobster with Marie rose sauce, and lobster salad with exotic vegetables and wasabi aioli.

The usual dinner buffet spread at Lime will still be available during PARKROYAL on Pickering’s Lobster Buffet, with items such as artisanal cheese, cold seafood on ice, rotisserie meats, and the crowd’s favourite Matcha chocolate fondue fountain.

Lime’s Lobsterfest is available daily from 27 May to 19 June 2016 between 6.30pm and 10.30pm, priced at $99++ per adult with a complimentary glass of Lime’s signature Limenade.

In celebration of Singapore’s 50th birthday, PARKROYAL on Pickering is presenting Singapore’s first-ever Lobsterfest Buffet at its star restaurant, Lime. Yes, you read that right. It is eat-all-you-can lobsters, and at a very sexy environment at that!

Expect your favourite crustacean cooked in 8 different ways, on top of its regular international buffet spread at PARKROYAL on Pickering.

The Lobsterfest Buffet at PARKROYAL on Pickering will be an extraordinary and phenomenal meal that you won’t soon forget, we promise. Here, we present the highlights of Lime’s Lobsterfest Buffet that is available only for a very limited period. You know you need that dinner.

GRILLED MAINE LOBSTER WITH GARLIC AND THYME

Nothing too complicated, nothing too messy to musk the sweetness of fresh maine lobster. Just simple garlic and thyme used to grill the lobsters, and it is a taste that you will not get sick of.

SINGAPORE STYLE CHILLI MAINE LOBSTER WITH DEEP-FRIED MANTOU

If we can have chilli crabs, we can have chilli lobsters too, yes? Hands up, Singaporean! Let’s all party with Singapore-style chilli maine lobsters! Chef Vijay’s rendition is sweet with a hint of spiciness, and of course, it is served with deep-fried mantou. Yeah, go on and help yourself to another serving. We won’t tell.

KAM HEONG STYLE MAINE LOBSTER

Our favourite flavour of all, and the one that stole all our hearts. Many ingredients go into the cooking of this popular Malaysian-Cantonese style – garlic, ginger, shallots, chilli padi, curry powder, oyster sauce, dry shrimps and curry leaves.

What you get is an explosion of flavours that miraculously blend so well together, and we couldn’t stop reaching out for more. You definitely cannot miss out on this one.

WOK-FRIED BLACK PEPPER MAINE LOBSTER WITH CURRY LEAVES

Lobster-feasting game going strong. We also have the black pepper maine lobster, an all-time favourite Singapore flavour. Wok-fried with curry leaves, this black pepper maine lobster is bound to be a hit, so be quick because the ones with fastest fingers win!

MAINE LOBSTER PAELLA

Paella has always been popular, and is an ubiquitous dish at world famous farmers markets. But only at Lime, you will enjoy paella with fresh maine lobster. The crustacean’s freshness elevates the flavour of the Spanish rice dish really well!

MAINE LOBSTER PASTA WITH SQUID INK TAGLIATELLE AND PARMAGIANO REGIANO

Italiano pasta done well, we’d say. Good ol’ squid ink pasta is made ever sweeter with fresh maine lobster, and just one portion definitely won’t do. Eat-all-you-can, right?

GRATINATED MAINE LOBSTER WITH LEMON AND TARRAGON HOLLANDAISE

If you are a fan of anything cheesy and creamy, then this one is for you. The lobsters are covered in cheese, then put to bake till the cheese melts and seeps in to the flesh, and served piping hot with a homemade lemon and tarragon hollandaise sauce if you need an extra boost of flavour.

CHEF NANCY’S NONYA LAKSA WITH MAINE LOBSTER

Just because eating laksa with ‘hum’ (cockles) is too mainstream, right? We now indulge in laksa with maine lobster. The broth is prepared nonya-style, and it is a bowl of familiar goodness with a touch of sophistication – half a maine lobster.

FREE FLOW OF BEER AND LOCAL DRINKS SUCH AS GRASS JELLY, WATER CHESTNUT, SOYA MILK AND LEMONGRASS TEA

The regular international buffet line will still be made available on top of all the crustacean offers, and you can still look forward to your usual buffet suspects – cold seafood, sashimi and sushi, salad selections, ala minute pasta station, cheese board, nonya delicacies…

And with unlimited servings of Tiger beer as well as local drinks such as ‘Cincau’ (Grass Jelly), ‘Ma Ti Shui’ (Water Chestnut), ‘Tau Huay Shui’ (Soya Milk) and Lemongrass Tea, this is one buffet that will touch every Singaporean’s heart.

Lime’s Lobsterfest is priced at SGD 98++ per person during dinner and will run daily from 1st to 17th June 2015 and every Wednesday thereafter.
