Buffet lines are where Singaporeans’ talent at queuing is put to use the best, in my opinion. We strategise which stations to hit first, which dishes need to take up more space on our plate, and how to best to delegate each friend to a station so that everyone at the table gets to sample every single item on the buffet line.
Here’s the 13 best halal buffets in Singapore to suit & satisfy every palate with a plethora of awesome dishes and at a reasonable price.
1. Peppermint (PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay)
Indulge in a delightful buffet at the Halal-certified Peppermint, formerly AquaMarine. This all-day dining spot boasts a picturesque view of lush greenery, courtesy of its Urban Farm. Here, over 60 types of veggies, fruits, herbs, and edible flowers thrive, supplying chefs with ingredients for 20% of their dishes.
The various buffet counters with open-concept kitchens are spread throughout the space. As you enter the restaurant, the seafood counter welcomes you with Sustainable Tiger Prawns, Boston Lobster Claws and Tiger Topshell.
At the Japanese section, build yourself a bowl of Cold Soba or Udon or reach out for a steaming-hot bowl of Chawanmushi. Customise your own cheese platter with Monterey Jack Cheese, Fruit Cheese and Camembert with Lavash Bread, Walnuts and Grapes.
Over at the asian counter, relish in Lamb Rendang, Chilli Crab Prawn and Carrot Cake with Dry Scallop Sauce. When you’re ready for dessert, do try the Chocolate Cake and Durian Pengat.
Do note that the restaurant changes menu regularly depending on ingredient seasonality. From 3 to 31 May 2024, enjoy a Korean-themed galore called ‘Seoul Good!’ before it returns to its international buffet theme.
