Good service, quality and ambience – this is one buffet that the Burpple community can't stop raving about. Set in the snazzy Ritz Carlton Hotel, Colony is known for its appetite-whetting buffet (from $58), which excels in both local and Asian flavours. Roasts are tasty, seafood is super fresh, and local dishes like the laksa and popiah are equally excellent.
