Finally had a chance to dine at @limesingapore for their weekend lunch buffet ($78++) and it's definitely pretty decent with just some misses!
The highlight got to be their seafood selection, with several exquisite items such as freshly shucked oysters, Boston lobsters and snow crab legs. The oysters were fantastic; juicy, succulent with fresh seafood savouriness. The crab legs were meaty, fresh and naturally salty.
For many buffets, they don't do their roast beef right. However, the rendition at Lime hits differently as it was surprisingly tender with a good beefy flavour. One of my favourites was actually their Cheese Wheel Pasta, it was so creamy, rich, cheesy and the pasta was al dente. Actually went to take 3 portions in total!
Cakes were mostly good, as they were rich and moist.
And as all buffets, they have their misses. The sashimi here was really not good, especially their tuna. The other Japanese items like sushi were really forgettable. Ice cream selections were just too frozen hard to grab anything.
Nonetheless, this is still a decent buffet to go for your celebrations. With a beautiful ambience, I believe it is date night worthy!
Brought my family there for the dinner buffet. Enjoy the variety of dishes but the cold seafood section is very sad. Anyway, the crepe, the chicken rice, the laksa and kueh pie tee were yummy! Overall, ambience and service was good.
Lime Restaurant’s annual LobsterFest is on till 13 Aug, with a whole line-up of unlimited servings of lobsters. My favourite was their Kam Heong Lobster, done very fragrant with the generous use of savoury dried shrimps and curry leaves. Meat was firm, fresh and juicy! Price includes unlimited servings of beer, chilled juices, specialty coffee and tea.
Get-together with friends and family reunions with a hearty buffet spread of seasonal dishes such as Braised Eight Treasure Duck, Steamed Halibut with Hunan Chopped Chilli, Steamed Glutinous Rice with Assorted Waxed Meat and Sausage, and the live stations of Taiwanese Longevity Mee Sua with Oyster, Roasted Beef Striploin and Taco. Do not miss out on the Signature Pickering Laksa with Scallop and Prawn and the chilled seafood which includes freshly shucked oysters. End the meal with an array of cakes and desserts, and even traditional ones like deep-fried golden nian gao and tang yuan in a ginger broth.
The Feasts of Fortune is available for lunch and dinner, priced from $69++ for an adult for lunch and $99++ for an adult for dinner. For dining reservations, you can call them at +65 3138 2251 or drop them an email at dining.prsps@parkroyalcollection.com.

The sensational satay was a truly welcome epiphany, and it’s easily the most succulent and tender satay I’ve ever had anywhere in the world. I was about to pass over this satay due to the distinct lack of charred bits on it, but I’m so glad I gave these competently crafted chicken satays a go. The marinade is as excellent as the texture of the meat it flavours, and the accompanying satay sauce was sublimely sapid. Just needs some char on the meat, and it would be a world beater.⠀
⠀
While I’m disappointed that a few of the menu items that I was eager for were absent from the lineup, such as the pork satay, the red wine miso glazed pork ribs, and the steamed barramundi, the remarkable sumptuousness of the food I did have somewhat ameliorated that.
The clear favourite in @limesingapore Festive Buffet is the luscious lobster laksa. Actually that’s a half truth, as you it isn’t a lobster, it’s a crayfish. Yes, it’s also known as a slipper lobster, but it’s not really an actual lobster.⠀
⠀
Semantics aside, there’s no argument that Lime Restaurant’s crayfish laksa is possibly the most heavenly one in sunny Singapore. The slightly spicy and ravishingly rich gravy is thick & supremely satisfying for your senses, unlike many others that are frustratingly thin & inadequate. Toss in some thick noodles and the fresh, slightly sweet slipper lobster, and you’ve got one of the most luxurious laksas in town.
The roast beef was seasoned quite poorly, which is a damn shame because it’s been slow roasted to a mouthwatering medium rare. I mean, just look at that pink, man. While the beef is probably not top quality stuff, it’s still tremendously tender, requiring only a couple of moderate bites to disintegrate in your mouth. ⠀
Other excellent protein options at Lime’s Festive Buffet include the amazing Australian lamb chop, which features tastefully tender lamb accompanied by a minty, savoury gravy that tempers the natural mild gaminess of lamb. The roasted salmon is also cooked perfectly, but does need more of that hearty herb butter that it’s presented in.⠀
⠀
While the selection and variety of food on offer at Lime is disappointingly limited, the variety of food that is on offer is extraordinarily excellent and top quality. Perhaps they’re going for quality over quantity, and fair play to them for that for doing it adeptly.⠀
⠀
Oh one last thing: Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal.
Merry Christmas to everyone reading this, and I hope y’all got your fill of turkey & roast meats this feastin-sorry, festive season. I certainly got my fill at @limesingapore, and I was pleasantly impressed by the quality of the meats on the buffet lineup.⠀
⠀
Turkey is an extremely fickle protein at the best of times, with an annoying tendency to be drier than Gandhi’s flip flops if the stars don’t align. However, Lime has somehow managed to pull the rabbit out of the hat with this one, as even the finicky breast meat was surprisingly moist, with a nicely roasted skin draped like a velvet blanket over the meat. The thigh meat was a delectable delight, the moist & supple meat slithering down your throat effortlessly, preferably with some gravy & cranberry sauce.
This past year, the world has definitely not been our oyster, but let these plump oysters from @limesingapore at @parkroyalpickering be your world this Christmas season. Accompanied by a couple of glasses of bubbly too, of course.⠀
⠀
I’m glad these oysters of unknown origin are fantastically fat and fresh for the most part, as they possess a charming creaminess that’s flavoured with an understated brininess and a very slight sweetness. Better yet, you can return for seconds, thirds, fourths and even fortieths of these mouthwatering mollusks.⠀
⠀
Unfortunately, just like everything else this year, there’s always a cloud obscuring every single lining. And that cloud happened to be a spoilt oyster that I bit into before I hurriedly expelled it back out into its shell. The damage had been done, however, and I had the runs shortly after. Nothing major requiring a physician, just a lot of annoyance, toilet paper and a tinge of disappointment.⠀
⠀
Off oyster aside, the rest of Lime Restaurant’s festive buffet ($99++ per pax) was pleasantly palatable. The quality of the buffet is remarkable, so don’t let my little encounter with the one bad oyster put you off a bountiful buffet.

The Lobster Laksa $29++ is fresh and comes with squid rings. Soup is more Lemak (milky) than spicy. No additional chilli was provided as well. I guess they toned down the spicy level.

✅ Sufficient variety of food
✅ Effort made for some food to look festive 🍍
✅ Free flow coffee and tea
Although the high tea set here is not expensive, I guess I would say that the quality of the food wasn't impressive. Was quite excited and then very disappointed almost immediately 😣.
I certainly didn't taste much Earl Grey nor Espresso in the Early Grey Espresso tart but it was more of a bittersweet chocolate tart.
The scone is kinda rubbery? It's not how scones shld be.
Beancurd prawn roll was good.
The item least enjoyed was the Nasi Lemak ball. The texture was odd and we couldn't taste much coconut but ok attempt at making sweet chilli to go with it.
Not sure if anyone dined here before and can let me know if the standards has dropped or it has always been like this? 🤔
This has a medium sized, halved lobster piece that was fresh and sweet with bouncy succulent lobster meat.
.
The rich laksa gravy is properly spicy savoury with a hint of herbal flavour.
.
Completed with slippery rice noodles, tender fish cake, and spongy dried tofu puffs. Yum.

The white clams, blue mussels, and oysters were plump and juicy and slippery, with bright briny sweet salty flavour.
.
The tiger prawns were large and succulent, yielding with a juicy bite to release the natural sweet savoury flavour.
.
The pearl dog conch sea snails were crunchy slippery with decent sweet savoury salty flavour, though we noted a few held small grains of sand. Served with a wedge of lemon for dressing.

The dark herbal sweet soup / broth has a medium strength, and the pork ribs are tender, sliding easily off the bone, though the bold meaty savoury flavour has a touch of gamey taste.
