Buffet

Gather your hungriest friends and fill up on a four-hour frenzy of all-you-can-eat oysters, sashimi and crabs at this Raffles City Shopping Centre mainstay. Located in the basement, this sprawling restaurant's affordably priced buffet (from $26.80 for lunch, $36.80 for dinner) features a spread of Western, Japanese and local delights for all types of diners. Stuff your face with fresh sashimi, sweet poached prawns, freshly shucked oysters, scallops and Alaskan crab legs, before moving on to the heartier mains. Skip the chili crab and go for the flavourful braised pork belly, comforting laksa and smoky satay to satisfy your craving for local delights. If you still have room for dessert, end your meal with as many scoops of ice cream as you want on a warm waffle or crepe!

Meat lovers, you might want to take note of this value-for-money deal. The next time you and your friends are planning to bulk up on meats, head to this all-you-can-eat concept at Park Hotel Alexandra (just next to IKEA). The Carvery's dinner buffet ($52 on weekdays, $62 on weekends) temptingly includes oysters and pork, but the affordable priced lunch buffet provides excellent value. At $38 (with a 10% discount for Citibank cardholders!), you get unlimited servings of premium roasts and cuts like House Aged Beef Ribs, Rotisserie Chicken and Lamb — all freshly sliced at the carving station. Start with a plate of healthy greens at the salad bar and then move on to the hot foods. Load up on carbs at their pasta and pizza counter. If not, end your meal on a (very) sweet note with their wide selection of desserts and go for the homely Apple Crumble if it's available — it's like a hug on a plate!

This particular Tung Lok Seafood outlet at Orchard Central offers a lesser known Chinese and Japanese lunch buffet that might just be right up your alley. For just $26.80 on weekdays and $28.80 on weekends, there are fresh, thick cuts of salmon sashimi for the seafood fanatics in your family, comforting dim sum for the folks and the crowd favourite of salted egg yolk fish skin to munch on in between changing plates. It's best to gather a larger group for this (there's also a minimum seating of four persons) so you can try more items on the menu! Other note-worthy items include the Crispy Eggplant with Pork Floss, Fried Beancurd Skin Rolls with Shrimps and Deep-fried Prawns with Crispy Oats. End your meal with the refreshing Herbal Jelly with Honey — if you still have space, that is!
