Buffetlicious! The All You Can Eat Buffet thread - Part 6

1) Ash & Elm's sunday brunch also not bad. I like their unlimited ala carte dishes.

2) Hmmm, how does it compare w Line? Different type of food?

hmm i cannot make a fair comparison cos i only ate at the line twice and that was few years back. yes i agree Ash & Elm ala carte is not bad i ate the pork chop with foie gras, mashed potato for dinner. complimentary bread is served.

Went to Coleman’s cafe on 26th jan, 2nd day of cny.

Hilariously bad selection. 1 island for vege and some food, 2 kiosks for sashimi and roasts, 1 long table for desert.

Place looked very empty. Cheap though, so thats probably why.

The folks here went on the 3rd day. I thought it went well for them?

Town Restaurant at Fullerton now got dbs 1 for 1. Is it good ?

I went there recently for 1 for 1 lunch (with SCB), at 1 for 1 prices there are no complaints, food spread was pretty good and the quality generally quite solid. But for lunch don't have any 'exotic' items (oysters, lobster, etc) lah.

I heard from others that 1 for 1 dinner also very good value, apparently there is cook to order lobster included in the spread.

Wah, lunch time buffets normally won't have lobsters and oysters (Melt is probably one of the few places that has oysters for lunch)

2nd n 3rd day of CNY, both PH, w lunch @ $39 n dinner @ $44 (i think) w yusheng (if you have 4 pax or more) is cheap wor. Yes, their variety is considered on the small side n you dun get the more premium stuff, but for the price, i find it acceptable. If want a solid spread, can go edge, carousel or colony, but the price is also ...

Frankly, their CNY spread is actually on par or imo slightly lousier compared to their usual spread. Normal spread got items like roti prata, lok bak, more DIY noodles, porridge etc. Their roti prata is actually quite good wor. Normal pricing is $29 n $34. I think its very good value for the food they serve.

CNY spread pales value wise in comparison. Basically, you are paying $10 more for yusheng n cos its CNY day 2/3, but i still went on 3rd day cos i wanna lohei w friends n its CNY PH, other than k bbq buffets, most of other buffets all have to pay a premium.

I will not recommend coleman if you wanna celebrate some event or have a big feast to pamper yourself. But its somewhere i dun mind going every weekend or once in 2 weeks just for a meal. Economical n decent.

Which part is terrible? I keep hearing my colleagues talk about it.

Which part is terrible? I keep hearing my colleagues talk about it.

Iirc, they only have sushi (also a bit nia) n not sashimi. Seafood on ice also not much. They usually have seafood themes with more cooked seafood, eg, crabs cooked in different styles, rather than cold seafood.

Last year, they had this crabs theme w nice chilli/pepper crabs. The crabs were really fresh! They also had good grilled big head prawns too. I went 3 times for that theme

Not a big fan of cooked seafood hahah

I went for the crab and lobster theme before - very ordinary and I think the one at Park Royal Kitchener is slightly better in terms of variety

Hmm I see. Any alternative places to recommend for buffet with crab?

Any thoughts on Tiffany Cafe?

Most hotel buffets don't have very good cooked crab dishes

Mai hiam bu pai

It's decent for its price - nothing stands out

I think the buffet serving style in general isn’t well suited for crabs? I tried Parkroyal crab feast a while ago and especially those not so popular styles, the crabs really CMI cos left out on the serving counter too long.

Abt the same std as coleman, except its halal
