Looking for Buffet places?

Been visiting Aroy Mak Mookata at least once a year since their old location at Macpherson Road, but now they have moved to Jalan Besar, opposite Sim Lim Tower, near Rochor MRT.

The mookata buffet used to be split between normal and premium pricing, but now it is only one price at $23.80 nett, introduced a few months back, with no GST or service charge. If you top up $5, you get free flow fountain drinks such as authentic Thai Milk Tea, Thai Green Milk Tea, Lemongrass, and more.

With this pricing, you get seafood, marinated meat, vegetables, processed food, and free flow sauces and condiments, plus one free ice cream. Seafood selection includes flower crab, clams, sotong, dory fish, mussels, and oysters. There used to be more options like crayfish and scallops, but still a steal considering the price. Freshness was good, especially for prawns and clams, while the rest were decent.

There was a wide range of marinated meats including chicken, beef, and pork. Marination was mild, would be better with stronger flavour, but at least the cuts were bite sized. I recommend sticking to non‑marinated or sesame flavour, and also getting the smoked duck. Dip into their sauce and enjoy.

Soup base was too plain. Even after cooking all the food, it stayed plain. It is good that soup starts neutral, but after cooking, the juices should enrich it. This was a disappointment, and I hope they improve the taste of the soup base.

They offered various dipping sauces, including different types of Thai chili sauce, belachan chilli, garlic, chilli padi, and even mayo and nacho cheese sauce, to enhance the flavour.

Overall, in terms of taste and quality, I felt it fell short compared to the past. In terms of pricing, it was still worth it. Eat mookata, enjoy air‑con, and free flow drinks. I do miss their braised meat rice, which they served for a period.

Cash or PayNow/PayLah only.

($56++) we chose thai tom yum and tomato based soup broth. But I felt that their soup broth got salty aftertaste tbh, I doubt that I will be going bck again and quite expensive for 1 pax during weekend for dinner time. They got a variety for ingredients (veg, seafood, meat, rice and noodles). I remembered we all got struggled with fortune fish paste lol how to cook inside the hotpot and luckily the staff helped us to cook. It's quite filling experience as we ordered too much meat tbh.

Although its buffet but the meat portion is not generous

[TAI SENG, SINGAPORE] Among the many eateries located around Grantral Mall lies @kushidining, a Japanese buffet restaurant with a huge variety of food to choose from, and order as ala carte options as well.

Their limited edition Mixed Seafood Shabu Shabu 🍲($25.90) was indeed quite comforting, with an interesting tomato soup broth that's quite refreshing due to its tangy profile. Several seafood options like tiger prawns and scallops were given, and they were quite fresh!

Another item to order is their Salmon Yaki 🐟($14.80) as it was grilled well such that the skin is crispy, with the meat perfectly cooked. The fat in here is glorious.

My gripe is that their sashimi and sushi isn't that great as it isn't of high quality. I would lean towards getting their cooked dishes more.

Interestingly, they also serve speciality coffee that is surprising for a Japanese buffet restaurant. The Pour-Over Truffle ☕($4.90) was surprisingly decent and smooth!

All in all, I think it's ok~ considering there are bound to be hits and misses in buffet restaurants. They have cheap deals like daily 50% dishes and lunch sets from $11.90 that you can check out!
