Best Buffets in Singapore
Edge at Pan Pacific Singapore - For A Theatrical Buffet Experience That Will Wow Your Palate
If you are looking for buffet experience where every dish looks mouthwatering and just cannot wait to dive right in, then the Edge buffet at Pan Pacific Singapore is the one for you. There are seven open kitchens here where chefs create a feast for your senses. And did we mention that the restaurant looks right out onto the vista of Marina Bay and the dazzling Singapore Flyer?
While cold seafood lovers will not be disappointed by the premium selection of freshly-shucked oysters and crustacean delights, we absolutely adore the Edge’s signature roasts and sausages. These are prepared by the hotel’s famed Pan Pacific butchery, headed by a master butcher, and highlights include succulent, hand-made items like Grilled Veal Bratwurst, Chicken Nonya Sausage and Marinated Angus Beef Short Rib.
A standout station at Edge buffet is the Churrasco Carving Station, where you can savour Slow-Roasted Beef Tomahawk, Salt Crusted Local Farm Barramundi with Lemon Dill Cream, and Crispy Kurobuta Pork Porchetta, served with a variety of sauces like Red Wine, Black Pepper, Mustard, and Mint Jelly.
For local Asian dishes, enjoy live-cooked Wok Hei Penang Char Kuey Teow, Singapore Laksa and Wok-tossed Tiger Prawns. And if you are someone who can eat your weight in fresh mud crab, then the buffet’s fresh, Salt Baked Fresh Mud Crab is your go-to! Each crab is carefully covered in salt and baked to perfection, before the chef meticulously cracks the shell open and cleans the crab for you. We recommend going back for as many servings of this as possible, and try their irresistible sauces like Chili Crab Sauce, Creamy Salted Egg Yolk gravy and Thai Nam Jim Chili Sauce. Do not forget to mop everything up with the crispy man tou!
With daily lunch and dinner buffets, as well as delicious seasonal themes like the National Day Flavours of the Lion City buffet menu, we love Edge for offering a never-disappointing, value for money buffet experience where you can indulge to your heart’s content and, quite literally, eat till you drop
