Buffets

Just had a great Seafood Spectacular Dinner Buffet at Greenhouse, Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore. My stomach was so full that I had trouble getting up and leaving. 😆

This buffet is only available on Fridays and Saturdays from 6pm to 9.30pm.
Friday: $82++ per adult | $41++ per child (under 12)
Saturday: $92++ per adult | $41++ per child (under 12)

The pricing may look intimidating, but with @eatigo_sg I managed to save up to 50% before GST and service charge, which meant I paid half price. That is such a great deal. Since the buffet starts at 6pm, it is best to make a reservation at that time so you can enjoy the spread until closing.

The menu rotates occasionally, so it is worth checking their webpage for updates. Among the highlights, the Singapore Chilli Crab was outstanding, with a sauce that nailed the perfect balance of sweet, savoury, tangy, and mildly spicy. The crab meat was tender and disappeared quickly once served.

Other dishes that were especially good included the Tom Yum Goong, which was rich, aromatic, and comforting. The Double Boiled Assorted Mushroom with Pork Ribs Soup was deeply nourishing and soothing, while the Prawn & Crab Bisque was packed with umami depth and paired perfectly with the assorted breads. On the lighter side, the Cocktail Jello was refreshingly sweet, and it worked well as an alternative to cold water or coffee and tea since drinks are not included in the buffet. The Chocolate Ice Cream was icy with bits of chocolate that gave it a pleasant texture and taste.

As for the setting, the restaurant’s lush forest-themed interior truly lived up to its name. Greenhouse surrounds diners with greenery and a warm, natural atmosphere, which makes the dining experience even more enjoyable.

Do note that the place can be a little hard to get to if you do not have transport. From the nearest bus stop, it takes about a 20‑minute walk to reach the restaurant. Think of it as a bit of exercise before going in to eat more, and then again on the way out to help with digestion.

Recently, I had lunch at Royale Mercure Bugis which runs from 12 pm to 2.30 pm, priced at $65++ per adult and $32.50++ per child. Dinner is $75++ and $37.50++ per child. The menu rotates daily so every visit feels fresh and you never quite know what surprise dishes will show up.

Seafood on ice was a joy. The prawns were sweet, bouncy, and easy to peel with cutlery, which made them extra enjoyable without the mess. Squid leaned chewy, while blue swimmer crab and mussels rounded out the spread. The steamed tiger prawns in Chinese wine were fragrant and tender, and the steamed fish came out moist and clean tasting.

The live station lamb cutlets were juicy and tender, with just the right bite. Slow roast beef was soft and hearty. Pork knuckle stew was fatty melt in the mouth goodness. Satay tasted smoky and authentic, duck and chicken were nicely spiced, and wonton noodles gave a comforting touch. French onion soup with parmesan toast was rich and satisfying.

Desserts and drinks rounded off the meal well. Free flow coffee and tea, plus juices like orange and apple, kept things refreshing. Fruits that day were rock melon, watermelon, and dragonfruit, all sweet and juicy. Almond pudding with longan was silky, black forest cake rich, pear crumble homely, caramel custard smooth, and DIY muah chee fun to make. Hot cheng tng was a nostalgic sugary drink to finish with.

Overall, the buffet gave me variety, freshness, and comfort. My belly was happy and satisfied.

We visited Hathaway recently and loved the experience. The dinner buffet at Capital Tower is boutique in scale but focused on quality. Priced at $96++ per adult for 1.5 hours, the spread feels thoughtfully curated. The 1‑for‑1 promotion for DBS, POSB, Maybank, and OCBC cardholders runs until 30th June 2026 and is available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Public Holidays, bringing the value to about $58 nett per guest after GST and service charge. Free‑flow Prosecco is available at $36++ per pax.

Western selections featured Fresh Oysters that were briny, moderately sized, plump, and downright shiok. I kept slurping them and easily polished off more than 18 pieces, making this alone worth the visit. Barramundi Meuniere was well executed but felt overshadowed once compared with the richer curries. Roasted Australian Beef with Entrecote Sauce was tender overall, though some cuts leaned dry. Linguine Aglio Olio with Mixed Seafood carried a tastisfying umami depth and was well balanced, while Gratinated Cheese and Potato offered a simple comfort bite. Roasted Asparagus was crunchy and well seasoned. Stir‑Fried Buttermilk Prawns were cocktail‑sized, bouncy, and nicely flavoured, adding a playful touch to the Western spread.

Southeast Asian flavours gave the buffet its distinctive character. Ah Nya’s Fish Curry was silky, layered, and more enjoyable than the barramundi. Beef Cheek Rawon was heavier but tastier, with meat more tender than the roast beef, though having a lot could feel jelak. Gado Gado came with a rich Peanut Sauce that turned out to be one of the most memorable elements of the meal. It was versatile enough to elevate other dishes, even rescuing the Chicken Galae Skewers, which were seasoned well but whose marinated sauce lacked depth. Nasi Ulam and Sambal were fragrant though fairly normal, while Tempeh Orek was savoury and crunchy. Kueh Pie Tee was pre‑arranged and filled, making it very easy to eat without fuss, while Razor Clams with Glass Noodle and Garlic Soy added a savoury seafood garlic punch.

Desserts were the strongest section. Moist Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting was comforting, while the Coffee Chocolate Tartlet and Lemon Meringue Tartlet stood out as highlights. The Coffee Chocolate Tartlet impressed with its stronger, deeper flavour that lingered pleasantly, while the Lemon Meringue Tartlet offered a refreshing contrast, light with a sweet‑sour balance that cut through the heavier mains. Pulut Hitam with Coconut Milk was not burnt, pleasantly chewy, and balanced in sweetness. Sago Gula Melaka was interactive, with coconut cream and gula melaka provided separately so you could add to your desire, making it a fun and customisable finish. Traditional favourites like Kueh Ko Swee and Kueh Salat added a local touch.

Drinks were kept simple with coffee, tea, and juices in orange and apple. Service was attentive and efficient, with plates cleared quickly to keep the dining flow seamless. The atmosphere felt intimate compared to larger hotel buffets, and while the spread is smaller, the quality and thoughtful touches, from peeled prawns to pre‑arranged kueh pie tee, made the experience wonderful.

Tried the Sea & Grill Buffet at Carlton City and all I can say is mediocre food with a hefty price tag. This buffet is only available every Friday and Saturday for dinner. Even the options felt kind of limited. Like, I am paying such a premium price at $158++ per pax but there is no cheese, no oyster, etc. Better off going to some other hotel buffet that serves these items and also at a cheaper price. Well, at least there is a 1-for-1 discount with Bank of China, Citibank, DBS/POSB, and OCBC cardholders. The promo ends 27 Dec 2025, but I still do not really find it worthwhile. I know I sound harsh, but oh wells.

Their main attraction is the suckling pig, but boy oh boy, it doesn't live up to the expectation I had. Everything was alright — the skin is crackling, the fat is melty — except the meat, which had a strong porky taste and was a tad firm, making the overall experience quite off-putting. The slow roasted rib eye was too dry and raw. Even the red wine sauce did not help much in improving the taste.

Cakes, kueh, and pastries looked good but tasted pretty mid. Fruits were cut too thick for a single bite and were not sweet or fresh. The DIY shaved ice melted too fast. The breads and drinks section were kinda limited. I expected better for the ice cream brand, but they served Mingo cup.

Well, at least there were some good ones. The chilled tiger prawns were fresh, sweet, and oceanic. The salmon sashimi was thick-cut, rich, and meaty. The laksa was tasty and rich in flavour, but the lobster given in it was pathetic. Luckily, there was chilled Boston lobster from the seafood section for you to add on your own. Moo Ping and satay were flavourful. The yam paste was delicious, thick, and rich in flavour, but a tad dry. Maybe adding a layer of oil will help.

At least they were proactive in clearing the plates fast.
