Peppermint @ PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay - Bringing Vibrant Flavours of Korea to The Heart of Marina Bay

Back by popular demand, Seoul Good returns to Peppermint for a limited time from 6 June (Dinner) to 13 July 2025 (Lunch). This special edition of the halal-certified buffet brings the vibrant flavours of Korea to the heart of Marina Bay, curated by Chef de Cuisine Leon Yee and his talented team.

With nearly 40 dishes available, this Korean showcase celebrates the diversity and comfort of the country’s cuisine – from sizzling meats to soul-warming soups and vibrant street food. Here’s a taste of what to expect:

Banchans

You're greeted by an inviting spread of Banchan the moment you step in. The small plates included Kkakdugi (spicy pickled radish), Baechu Kimchi (fermented cabbage) and Gim Gui (roasted seaweed), offering a crunchy, tangy and savoury start to awaken your palate. It's a great way to sample a little bit of everything before moving on to the heavier dishes.

Korean Bibimbap

One of the most eye-catching stations was the Make-Your-Own Bibimbap. With colourful vegetables, marinated meats, and sauces, diners can customise their rice bowls to their liking, from classic gochujang to a drizzle of sesame oil for that authentic Korean touch.

Korean Spicy Cheese and Corn Pizza

Haemul Pajeon

Japchae

Some standouts included the Korean Spicy Cheese & Corn Pizza – rich, creamy and satisfying with a hint of spice and the Haemul Pajeon (seafood pancake), which had a great crisp edge and generous bits of squid and prawns. The Japchae stir-fried sweet potato noodles were well-balanced with just the right amount of chew and umami.

Beef Galbi

Chicken Bulgogi

Yang-Galbi

Kkorijjim

Carnivores will be well-fed with the buffet’s generous spread of grilled and braised meats, including crowd favourites like Beef Galbi and Chicken Bulgogi. Two standout additions include Yang-Galbi, Korean-style lamb spare ribs that offer a rich, smoky bite and Kkorijjim, a deeply comforting dish of braised wagyu oxtail simmered until fork-tender. Each option is full of bold, savoury flavours and perfect for piling onto your plate or wrapping in lettuce for a satisfying ssam-style bite.

Korean Fried Chicken

Of course, no Korean meal is complete without Korean Fried Chicken. Choose between Spicy and Garlic Soy or have both. Crispy, juicy and addictive, this was easily one of the most popular items at the buffet.

Korean Style Seabass

Tteobokki with Fishcake

Beyond the showstoppers, there are several comforting dishes worth trying. The Tteokbokki with Fishcake – chewy rice cakes in a mildly spicy sauce, is a Korean street food staple that's always a crowd-pleaser.

Jjamppong

At the live noodle station, they were serving up Jjamppong, a spicy seafood noodle soup that delivered a bold, punchy broth. However, the noodles were a touch too soft for our liking.

Samgyentang

We also sampled the Samgyetang, a traditional ginseng chicken soup served with glutinous rice. It was mild in flavour but soothing and comforting.

Baesuk

While we didn’t spot many Korean-themed desserts, there was Baesuk (Korean pear soup), a refreshing end to the meal, although the strong cinnamon note might not appeal to everyone.

Whether you're a longtime fan of Korean cuisine or simply craving something different, Seoul Good at Peppermint delivers a delightful experience filled with comforting flavours, generous portions and value for money.

Seou Good Buffet 4/5

Seoul Good buffet at Peppermint is available at $72++ per adult (Mon-Thurs), $82++ per adult (Weekend, eve of PH & PH) during lunch and $98++ per adult (Mon-Thurs), $112++ (Weekend, eve of PH & PH).

Exclusively for weekday lunches, all GST and service charges will be fully absorbed!

White Restaurant @ Suntec City - Teams Up with Malaysia's Souper Tang For A Special Parents' Day Set

White Restaurant, the homegrown brand renowned for its 'Original Sembawang White Beehoon', partners with Malaysia's Souper Tang for a heartwarming Parents' Day collaboration. Known for their award-winning nourishing soups, Souper Tang has curated 11 of their specialities for this exclusive menu, available à la carte and as part of a set across all White Restaurant outlets in Singapore from 29 April to 30 June 2025.

Collagen Ginseng Chicken Soup 4/5

The Special Parents' Day Set ($98) begins with one of Souper Tang's signature broths, Collagen Ginseng Chicken Soup. Fortified with collagen powder and ingredients like whole ginseng strips, fish maw, cordyceps flowers, dried scallops, goji berries, braised shiitake mushrooms, and a large chicken drumstick, the soup boasted a deep, comforting flavour. I particularly enjoyed how the chicken was thoroughly infused with the essence of ginseng. That said, considering it's meant to be a collagen soup, its light consistency didn't quite deliver the expected richness I typically associated with collagen broths.

Abalone Sauce Pork Tendon with Multi-Grains 4/5

Next came the Abalone Sauce Pork Tendon with Multi-Grains, a dish brimming with protein and nutrients. Served piping hot, the pork tendons were simmered in a rich, umami-packed abalone sauce and accompanied by fried tofu. The tendons were soft and tender, delightfully chewy without any gaminess. Pork slices were also added to provide extra flavour and bite.

Imperial Seafood Pot 2.5/5

Continuing the collagen-rich theme, the set includes Souper Tang's Imperial Seafood Pot with White Fungus, featuring scallops, sea cucumber, fish maw, tilapia fillet, mini shiitake mushrooms, and sweet peas. While the dish was packed with a plethora of ingredients and generally flavourful, the overall experience was slightly underwhelming, particularly the sea cucumber, which was unpleasantly rubbery and bland.

Fragrant Pu Er & Goji French Beans 4.5/5

My favourite dish of the set turned out to be the Fragrant Pu Er & Goji French Beans. Stir-fried with minced meat, olive vegetables, and a splash of Shaoxing wine, the French beans were crisp, umami-laden, and utterly moreish. The addition of smoky black Pu Er tea and black goji berries not only elevated the dish's nutritional profile but also added depth and aroma.

Supreme Seafood White Beehoon 4.5/5

The Special Parents' Day Set comes with free-flow white rice, but you can top up $20 to upgrade to White Restaurant's Supreme Seafood White Beehoon, their beloved signature dish enhanced with premium seafood such as asari clams, prawns, and fish slices. All dishes from the Parents' Day Set Menu are also available à la carte.

Fourgather Thai Casual Dining @ Suntec City Mall - An UnFourgather Thai Meal with Its Second Outlet

Following the success of their first outlet at Amoy Hotel, modern Thai restaurant Fourgather officially opened its doors at Suntec City in February 2025. This new 66-seater space introduces an exciting menu that masterfully blends traditional Thai flavours with contemporary Western influences. For the first time, Fourgather also launched a dedicated kid's menu, making it a welcoming dining destination for all ages.

Thai Chrysanthemum, Lemongrass Drink and Thai Milk Tea

We kicked off our meal with three signature Thai beverages: Thai Chrysanthemum ($5.50), Lemongrass Drink ($4.50), and Thai Milk Tea ($4.50). Each drink was well-balanced in flavour, refreshingly aromatic and not overly sweet.

Watermelon Salad V2 4.8/5

The Watermelon Salad V2 ($16.90) was a standout dish. Juicy watermelon slices were topped with a tangy Thai dressing, crisp dried fish and peanuts, creating a perfect balance of sweet, savoury, and mildly spicy flavours. The original version, served at their Amoy Street branch, featured cubed watermelon, but this updated rendition felt even more refined and beautifully presented.

Yum Salmon 3.8/5

The Yum Salmon ($26.90) is a popular Thai dish featuring raw salmon slices tossed in a special Thai sauce. While the flavours were fresh, the choice of salmon cut left something to be desired and we found ourselves wishing for a spicier kick.

Fourgather Pork Party Platter 4.2/5

The Fourgather Pork Party Platter ($35.90) is a must-try for pork lovers. It features a delightful mix of Thai-style Moo Ping, Crispy Pork Belly, Tender Pork Cutlet, and Grilled Pork Jowl. This platter is perfect for sharing (serving 2–3 people). Accompanied by sticky rice, fresh vegetables, and assorted condiments, every bite was flavourful and well-executed.

Prime Sirloin Steak with Sticky Rice and Papaya Salad 3.5/5

For a tableside Aburi show, order the Prime Sirloin Steak with Sticky Rice and Papaya Salad ($47.90). The top-grade sirloin is seared before being torched tableside. It comes with sticky rice, Thai papaya salad and a zesty Nam Jim Jiao sauce. We opted for the Thai style (instead of Plara) with an extra spice option, though the spice level was barely noticeable. You can also upgrade to a more marbled cut for an additional $4, which we did.

Tom Yum Mama Hotpot 3.8/5

Perfect for sharing, the Tom Yum Mama Hotpot ($36.90) serves 3–4 people and is packed with seafood and tender pork simmered in a rich tom yum broth, topped with a soft-cooked egg. While the broth was aromatic, we found ourselves wishing for more spice and tang. Pro tip: Avoid letting the Mama noodles sit for too long, as they tend to get soggy.

Tom Yum Seafood Pasta 4/5

If you prefer a milder tom yum flavour, the Tom Yum Seafood Pasta ($26.90) is a fantastic option. This dish features a fragrant, creamy tom yum sauce tossed with seafood and topped with crispy lemongrass shreds. It is a well-executed fusion dish we truly enjoyed.

Kids Set B

Fourgather's kid-friendly approach includes four different Kids Sets served in adorable car or airplane bowls. Prices start from $11.90, with customisable mains, sides, and drinks. We tried Set B, in which we opted for Thai Fried Rice with a sunny-side-up egg, cheese chicken balls, tater tots, and apple juice. There are four different Kids' Sets for your little ones while the adults indulge in spicier Thai flavours.

Fourgather's extensive menu caters to all palates, offering everything from classic Thai flavours to inventive fusion dishes. The modern yet cosy ambience, accentuated by neon signs and eclectic decor, makes it a great spot for a quick lunch, a casual dinner or a relaxed gathering with friends and family.

Tenkaichi Japanese BBQ Restaurant @ Marina Square - Affordable Wagyu Beef Yakiniku Buffet

Tenkaichi Japanese BBQ Restaurant at Marina Square specialises in Wagyu Beef Yakiniku. It offers a high-quality buffet spread at affordable prices. For those seeking an elevated experience, premium Japan Kagoshima Wagyu is available in different grades on the à la carte menu.

Kagoshima Wagyu 3 Cuts

The buffet has three tiers: Standard, Deluxe, and Premium. To enjoy Wagyu beef, opt for the Deluxe or Premium options, with the latter featuring Kagoshima Wagyu. The Kagoshima Wagyu is served in three different cuts, unveiling its beautiful marbling and allowing diners to experience a variety of textures.

Japanese Wagyu Sirloin Steak, Angus Beef Ribeye

The Premium buffet also includes a thick-cut (300g) Japanese Wagyu Sirloin Steak for those who prefer a chunkier bite. Alternatively, the Angus Beef Ribeye is a great choice if you prefer a meatier cut with less marbling.

Pork Cheek Fillet, Iberico Pork Collar, Pork Belly

Pork lovers won't be disappointed either — the buffet includes high-quality pork selections such as Black Pork Belly, Iberico Pork Collar, and Pork Cheek Fillet. All were tender and succulent, but the pork cheek fillet stood out with its melt-in-your-mouth texture, reminiscent of Wagyu.

Seafood

Seafood selections were thoughtfully curated and exceptionally fresh, featuring options like salmon, prawns, ika (squid), hotate (scallops), and more.

Sashimi

There's a wide variety of accompaniments to complement the BBQ meats and seafood. The Sashimi selection includes salmon, maguro (tuna), tai (sea bream), hamachi (yellowtail), tako (octopus), and shime saba (vinegared mackerel). The Premium buffet further impresses with Wagyu Sashimi and Wagyu Tataki.

Furikake Gohan, Garlic Chahan

For carbs, the Furikake Gohan and Garlic Chahan were excellent pairings. I especially enjoyed the Garlic Chahan, topped with crispy fried garlic bits. Having it alongside the rich, fatty Wagyu cuts and a comforting bowl of miso soup truly enhanced the dining experience.

Other side dishes, including Tamago Yaki, Maki, Kaki Fry, and Ebi Fry, completed the feast. We couldn't get through the entire menu, but the Kaki Fry — fried breaded oyster — was exceptionally moreish and worth trying.

Kaki Fry

Peppermint @ PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay - Invites You to A Joyous Christmas Celebration

Step into a world of festive indulgence at Peppermint, where the charm of Christmas meets culinary excellence. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a vibrant farm-to-table salad bar featuring produce harvested from Peppermint's very own urban farm — an eco-conscious touch that set the tone for the meal.

The Seafood-On-Ice spread showcases Tiger Prawns, Clams, Mussels, Scallops and Crawfish, sure to satisfy your bellies. The Japanese section is delighted with fresh chef-sliced Sashimi including Salmon, Tuna, and Tako, alongside a colourful selection of Sushi and Maki. A rare highlight was the Seasoned Jellyfish, an exquisite find that added a unique twist to the buffet. For noodle lovers, a DIY station offers Udon and Soba with an array of condiments to help you create your perfect bowl.

The Festive Carving Station was a showstopper featuring a sumptuous array of holiday classics, such as Turkey with Chestnut Stuffing, Honey Baked Chicken Ham, and Roast Beef.

A decadent Brie Cheese Dip served inside a roasted Pumpkin, paired beautifully with Ham and Cheese Rolls, added a creative flair to the spread.

Diners seeking bold flavours will be satisfied with the rich variety of Indian dishes. A standout was the Crispy Prata Puff, which was perfectly golden and sized to complement the fragrant curries and creamy Butter Chicken.

Meanwhile, the Southeast Asian section shone with its diverse offerings, from Dry Laksa and Prawns in Collagen Broth to JB-style Curry Fish Collar with Urban Farm Eggplant. Live stations feature made-to-order Chicken Rice and Seafood Noodle Soup. We do find the chicken rice lacking in fragrance; go for the noodle soup, which is light on the palette but rich in flavour.

To satisfy our other (dessert) stomach, the dessert spread featured an enticing mix of Nonya Kueh, Christmas-themed Yule Logs, crafted cakes, petite pastries, and verrines. Ice cream lovers could indulge in four refreshing flavours, with the Mint Cucumber Sorbet emerging as our surprising favourite. This refreshing sorbet was the perfect finale to a heavy meal.

Peppermint's festive décor, adorned with elegant Christmas-themed embellishments, creates a magical atmosphere ideal for celebrating the season. Peppermint is also Halal certified. Given the popularity of the buffet, reservations are highly recommended to secure your spot.

The Festive Feast buffet is available daily for lunch and dinner, starting from $72++ per person. For more information and a detailed menu, visit https://www.panpacific.com/en/hotels-and-resorts/pr-collection-marina-bay/dining/peppermint.html
