Be spoilt for choice with the extensive buffet offerings at value-for-money pricings offered by Spice Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road, Singapore.
Spice Brasserie is now the largest hotel restaurant in Singapore to offer Halal-certified kitchens.
Buffet pricings here are very reasonable as well. Nett prices means there are no hidden costs, and you pay the listed price.
The SIN-MA Weekday Lunch Buffet starts from $35 nett per adult, which is a really good deal.
An inviting space with a seating capacity of 350 persons, the restaurant merges the neighbourhood beautifully in its décor.
It has a casual communal atmosphere that highlights the colourful heritage of next-door Little India.
Executive Sous Chef Patrick Ooi helms the kitchen, bringing treasured flavours and family recipes from his hometown, Penang.
The highlight of Spice Brasserie is its enticing Asian Street Food spread. The restaurant has also unveiled new signature dishes and perennial Singapore and Malaysia favourites in creative and modern interpretations.
Expect signature creations such as the Asian Spice Marinated Lamb Flap Rib and Hand-Tossed flavoured Naan cooked to order.
For seafood lovers, look out for their all-time favourite Chilli Crab with Mantou, Kam Heong Crab & Scallion White Pepper Crab; plus the debut of new flavoured Lobsters – Salted Egg Yolk Slipper Lobster, Black Pepper Slipper Lobster, and Thai Yellow Curry Slipper Lobster.
With Asian street food favourites, signature wok-fried crabs and seafood, alongside a ‘live’ Charcoal Panggang station, here are some of the Spice Brasserie highlights: (selected dishes will be featured on a rotational basis on the buffet)
Chilli Crab
The Chilli Crab is one of Spice Brasserie’s signature dishes and a must-try for all seafood lovers.
The secret behind the success of the freshly cooked crab is the special chilli sauce, a true flavour bomb boasting a blend of savoury, slightly sweet, eggy, and moderately spicy quality.
Don’t forget to get some mantou to mop up the thick and rich sauce.
Black Pepper Slipper Lobster
The pairing of robust and aromatic black pepper sauce with delicate Slipper Lobster creates a tasty composition that is equally savoury and spicy.
The black pepper was slightly intense but not overbearing, leaving just a tingle on your taste buds.
Hokkien Fried Prawn Mee (SIN-MA Lunch Buffet Exclusive)
Asian street food favourites available on rotation here include Fried Oyster Omelette, Carrot Cake and Okonomiyaki.
Not forgetting the Hokkien Fried Prawn Noodles, cooked in a full-bodied, fragrant prawn broth would most likely make your mouth water. Drizzle some lime and sambal chilli for a tasty kick.
Penang Assam Laksa
Using a recipe from Chef Patrick’s family, this Penang Assam Laksa is a hearty concoction made using mackerel fish.
A little spicy and sour at the same time, you would love the broth’s fruity, sweet, tangy, and savoury notes from the tamarind, pineapple chunks, and ginger torch flower.
Also available on rotation at the noodle station include Mee Soto Ayam, Penang Prawn Noodle Soup, and Singapore Laksa.
Kam Heong Lala (SIN-MA Lunch Buffet Exclusive)
Another Malaysian favourite served at Spice Brasserie is Kam Heong Lala, comprising fresh thin-shelled clams stir-fried in a spicy kam heong sauce.
Harmonizing the mildly sweet and briny flavour of the clams, the sauce had a piquant taste, extracted from a mix of singular ingredients like curry leaves, garlic, dried shrimp, shallots, and other herbs and spices.
Braised Beef Brisket with Radish (SIN-MA Lunch Buffet Exclusive)
A meaty dish guaranteed to warm you up, Spice Brasserie’s Braised Beef Brisket promises tender, melt-in-your-mouth chunks of slow-cooked beef brisket prepared in an aromatic sauce.
Fresh Cold Seafood On Ice
Diners can expect a selection of premium items from fresh Tiger Prawns and Half Shell Scallops to Stone Crab Claws, Gong Gong, and Black Mussels.
And for that extra vigour of Asian flavours, there’s a Thai Nam Jim dip made with garlic, fish sauce, lime, and chillies, as well as the sweet and salty Sukiyaki sauce.
Fresh Assorted Tandoori Naan
An ode to the vibrant Indian cuisine in its surrounding, Spice Brasserie also offers an authentic selection of North and South Indian specialities.
They can include Goan Fish Curry, Butter Chicken, Dal Tadka Curry and Mutton Biryani Rice, accompanied by freshly baked naans from its Tandoor oven.
Cooked in a deeply hot tandoor, the Naans (with Plain Naan and Garlic Coriander Naan options) were fluffy light with a hint of charred crispiness on the surface.
Ever-so-slightly chewy with a good soaking texture, a naan makes for a great accompaniment with the curries. Do remember that naan is best when eaten freshly-hot.
Grilled Chicken & Beef Satay with Condiments
Embracing the street-food theme, Spice Brasserie has “live” counters preparing a multitude of classic comfort bites at the “Charcoal Panggang” station.
Yes, they could be Asian Spice Marinated Lamb Flap Rib, Beef Ox Tail, Otah, and succulent Spring Chicken, served with Sambal Kicap and Sambal Balado.
Among the most popular are the succulent and tender Chicken and Beef Skewers, cooked on a fiery hot charcoal flame.
The classic condiment to pair the skewers with includes a sweet, smooth, and nutty satay peanut sauce.
Cempedak Crumble Cake
As for the sweet treats, head to the dessert bar for creamy Durian Pengat with Sticky Rice, Assorted Malay Kueh, Kueh Lapis, or Penang Muah Chee.
The Cempedak Crumble Cake attracts dinners first with its lime green and creamy colour.
It then inspirits the taste buds with the distinct tropical flavour of the cempedak fruit.
The cake’s buttery texture and the juiciness of the fruit leave a lasting impression, making the crumble a true hidden gem of the buffet.
