The Orchard Cafe @ Orchard Hotel Singapore - OZ “Meats” Buffet, A Vibrant Celebration of Premium Australian Produce, Culinary Craftsmanship, and Bold Flavours.

The Orchard Cafe at Orchard Hotel Singapore has recently launched the OZ "Meats" Buffet, showcasing the best of premium Australian produce through a lineup of curated dishes and live stations. Complementing the hearty offerings is an array of decadent desserts, ranging from classics to those inspired by Australian favourites.

Nachos Station

The Nachos Station gets things off to a lively start, featuring AUS grain-fed beef or pork con carne. Paired with condiments such as tender beans, creamy guacamole, spicy salsa, sweet corn and sour cream, it makes for a fun and flavourful starter to the buffet.

Aussie-Style BBQ Pork Shoulder

Slow-roasted AUS Grain-fed Striploin.

At the Carving Station, diners can enjoy Slow-roasted AUS Grain-fed Striploin and Aussie-Style BBQ Pork Shoulder. I personally favoured the pork shoulder, which was noticeably juicier and more tender, with flavours beautifully complemented by the accompanying BBQ sauce.

Halibut

For seafood lovers, the Australian Catch of the Day was Halibut served with Béarnaise sauce. It was a lighter, more delicate option that balances the heavier meat offerings.

AUS Wagyu Beef Sliders

The AUS Wagyu Beef Sliders are also not to be missed, with fluffy buns sandwiching flavoursome patties and melted cheese. These relatively humble-looking bites turned out to be one of my personal favourites.

Short Plate

Lebanese Style Lamp Chop

Another highlight is the Charcoal Grill Station, where AUS Beef Tri-tip, Short Plate and Veal Tenderloin are flame-grilled over charcoal, imparting enticing smoky notes to the succulent meats.

Tim Tam Tart with Berries

Lamingtons

The dessert selection was an absolute joy, rounding off the buffet on a sweet note. Among the seasonal selections, the Tim Tam Tart with Berries was indulgently rich with chocolate, delivering a delightful nutty crunch with every bite. Lamingtons offered a simple pleasure with soft butter cake coated with desiccated coconut, executed well with just the right level of sweetness.

Passion Fruit Pavlova with Fresh Fruit

The Passion Fruit Pavlova with Fresh Fruit was another standout, crisp around the edges with a slightly chewy centre, carrying bright tropical notes of mango and passion fruit.

Bourbon, Rum & Raisin Bread Pudding

The Hot Dessert Station was particularly irresistible, featuring indulgent treats such as Salty Peanut Brownie Pudding, Bourbon, Rum & Raisin Bread Pudding, and a comforting Baked Rice Pudding with Raspberry.

OZ "Meats" Buffet is available from now to 30 April 2026.

Weekday Lunch (Monday to Friday): $88 per person

Ajoomma Korean Charcoal BBQ Restaurant @ Gemmill Lane - Celebrates June Holidays with Moo-ve & Tail Campaign, and A Revamped Menu Featuring Seafood Barbecue and Traditional Korean Dishes

Ajoomma Korean Charcoal BBQ Restaurant at Gemmill Lane is celebrating the June holidays with a new "Moo-ve & Tail" campaign. The campaign offers diners a chance to win various prizes, such as a free steamed egg, complimentary side dishes, free plates of pork/beef, and more. The grand prize is 30% off the total dining bill. Along with this exciting campaign, the restaurant has revamped its menu, featuring seafood barbecue delights and traditional Korean dishes.

Black Trumpette Angus Beef Tataki 4/5

We began our meal with the Black Trumpette Angus Beef Tataki ($32) and Truffle Steamed Egg ($16) to whet our appetites before diving into the barbecue. The Angus Beef Tataki was a standout, with its beefy richness beautifully complemented by the accompanying components.

Truffle Steamed Egg 4/5

The Truffle Steamed Egg, resembling a soufflé, was extremely fluffy and pillowy. The truffle's earthy note elevated its flavour profile.

Korean BBQ 4.2/5

Marinated Chicken Thigh 150gm

US Prime 2MM Beef Short Plate 150gm

2MM  Pork Belly 150gm

Moving on to the highlight of the night, the Korean Charcoal BBQ, I appreciated the use of charcoal fire, which imparted a wonderful smokiness to the grilled ingredients. For our BBQ selection, we had:

- Marinated Chicken Thigh (150gm)
- US Prime 2MM Beef Short Plate (150gm, $31)
- 2MM Pork Belly (150gm, $28)

Marinated US Scallops with Dill

South Africa Live Abalone

Besides the meats, the restaurant also offers a variety of seafood for grilling. We tried the Marinated US Scallops with Dill ($36 for 5pcs) and the South Africa Live Abalone ($18/pc). Watching the live abalone being grilled over the charcoal fire was a unique experience, as this is not commonly seen in most Korean BBQ restaurants.

Spicy Kimchi Tuna Soup 3/5

Apart from the BBQ, the restaurant offers several mains. We started with the Spicy Kimchi Tuna Soup ($20), a hearty and flavorful stew that showcased the bold and tangy flavours of the kimchi, making it a comforting choice.

Korean Beef Tartare Bibimap 4/5

The Korean Beef Tartare Bibimbap ($25) is an innovative two-in-one dish where traditional Korean bibimbap is topped with beef tartare. The beef tartare added a textural contrast and an extra layer of flavour, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the dish.

Japchae 4/5

The Japchae ($23) featured glass noodles stir-fried with a variety of vegetables in a sweet-savoury soy-based sauce. The delightful mix of flavours and textures, along with the fragrance of sesame oil, made this dish a joy to eat.

Coconut Jelly with Coconut Ice Cream 4.2/5

We ended our meal with the Coconut Jelly with Coconut Ice Cream ($12.50). The coconut jelly, made with coconut water, was very refreshing, and the coconut ice cream added an extra touch of sweetness, rounding off the dinner perfectly.

Ajoomma Korean Charcoal BBQ Restaurant at Gemmill Lane offers an exciting dining experience with its "Moo-ve & Tail" campaign and revamped menu. The use of charcoal fire for grilling imparts a delicious smokiness to the dishes, while the inclusion of seafood and traditional Korean mains adds variety. Whether you're there for the BBQ or the mains, Ajoomma promises a delightful meal.
