Crossroads Buffet @ Marriott Singapore Tang Plaza - The Great Irish Beef Feast At Crossroads Buffet

Strategically located at the heart of bustling Orchard Road, Crossroads Buffet continues to live up to its name of serving an international buffet spread that draws influences from all around the world. This March, the restaurant has collaborated with John Stone, a supplier of quality Irish produce, to launch “The Great Irish Beef Feast” menu from now until 31 May 2023.

Sourced from the lush green pastures of Ireland and crowned as the best in the world, John Stone's premium dry-aged Irish beef is famed for its sustainable practices, high-quality tender meats and exceptional flavours. The key to achieving such consistency comes with over 50 years of experience focusing on the optimal ageing period of 21 to 28 days and 100% grass-fed beef for maximum consistency. These are meticulously curated, and the meats can rest and breathe while being stored in controlled conditions.

In addition to its buffet line that features more than 80 dishes, diners can feast on unlimited servings of premium dry-aged Irish beef available across different stations. Get started with the smoky and moist Dry Rub Roast Brisket, Whiskey Aged Cote de Boeuf or perfectly caramelised and fall-off-the-bone Kansas Barbeque Beef Mid Rib at the Carving Station. Each bite of the well-marbled beef is elegantly flavoured and promises incredible juiciness.

Diners can also indulge in other meats besides the beef, such as Grilled T-bone Lamb and Grilled Pork. In addition, the Peri Peri Chicken is well-marinated and perfectly tender.

Go for the hearty Beef Brisket Noodle Soup at the Noodle Bar and customise it with various ingredients that catch your fancy. The aromatic beef broth goes amazingly well with beef meatballs, tendon and sliced beef – it's tender with a light chew and full of gelatinous goodness!

Apart from the Beef Brisket Noodle Soup, you can also DIY your own Nyonya Laksa bowl with different ingredients and a rich, mildly spiced coconut-based broth.

Be sure to check out the Seafood on Ice station and get cracking with Snow Crab Leg, Poached Lobster, Poached Crayfish, Black Mussel, Sweet Prawn and Bottleneck Clam, served on rotation.

For dinner, create-your-own Fisherman’s Pot – take your pick from our fresh Seafood on Ice, choose from three sauces (Singapore Chilli Crab Sauce, Cajun Spiced Roast Garlic Butter or Cheesy Cream) and addon your favourite sides such as Smoked Sausage, Broccoli, Corn on Cob, and have the chef toss them all together.

Regarding the rice and noodle options, some of the favourites you may find at this counter are the Fried Rice with Floss and Fried Beef Hor Fun.

Other crowd-pleasers in their line-up include the Salted Egg Crab, Cai Pu Steamed Fish, Wok-Fried Mala Mini Lobster, and Coffee Sauce Chicken.

Lastly, round up your meal on a sweet note with their wide variety of desserts such as the Chocolate Fudge Cake, Passionfruit Mango Gateaux, Caramel Pear Cake, and Strawberry Mirror Cake. In addition, the Kaya Gula Melaka Cake and Ondeh Ondeh Cake come with an Asian twist. Not to be missed is their Bread & Butter Pudding with Vanilla sauce and the Crème Brulee.

Canadian Pizza Dine-In Cafe @ Jalan Kayu

Canadian Pizza is know for its 2 for 1 pizza delivery at 6241 0241 but little may you know that Canadian Pizza actually has a Dine-In Cafe along the same stretch of road at Jalan Kayu. Opened back in December 2011, the Dine-In cafe offers an extensive menu besides pizzas.

The Dine-In cafe has both a alfresco and air conditioned seating. It is a halal certified restaurant that offers an extensive menu, not just only pizza.

Root Beer Float 4/5

Started the meal with a mug of classic Root Beer Float ($4.50). You can also ask for Pepsi or 7-Up if you do not like Root Beer. For cold beverages, Mocktails, juices and soft drinks are also available.

Smoked Salmon Salad 3.8/5

The plating for the Smoked Salmon Salad ($8.80) may not look elegant but it was good. The used of fresh ingredients such as onion, lettuce, black olive, tomato and bread crumbs was packed with flavours, a healthy but yet flavourful salad to start with.

Tomato and Mushroom Soup 4/5

The Tomato Soup ($4.50) and Mushroom Soup ($4.50) was surprising creamy, tasty and robust. Like my dining partner Melissa commented, the soups were much better than a popular family restaurant in Singapore which I can't agreed more.

Grilled Cajun Fish 4.2/5

The Grilled Cajun Fish ($16.90) came with salad, fries and lime mayonnaise. The grilled fish was extremely flavourful and I won't mind going back for more. As I gathered my thoughts composing the post, I realized the grilled fish was sliced into strips. Visually I think people would expect a whole piece of fish fillet so they don't feel short changed.

Baked Macaroni 3/5

The Baked Macaroni ($9.50) unfortunately was a let down. Though the macaroni was nicely cooked, they were kind of bland.

Fresh Sage Sausage 4.2/5

The Freash Sausage ($13.80) came a bit on the salty side but if paired with the mashed potatoes and sauce, it actually had a good balanced of flavours. It was one of my favourite dish at Canadian Pizza Dine-In Cafe.

Crazy Canadian Stacker 4/5

The Crazy Canadian Stacker ($14.90) came with double patties, grilled bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion rings, cheese and fries. The huge and juicy burger was packed with flavours and it was not going to be easy for one with a small appetite.

Peri Peri Chicken 3.8/5

I was worry that the Peri Peri Chicken ($16) may be too hot for my taste buds but they were quite mild and easily for the palate. The chicken has a nice crisp on the outside while tender inside. Served with fries and salad.

Steak Sandwich 4/5

Stacked with grilled beef, onion rings, lettuce, tomatoes and brown sauce, the Steak Sandwich ($13.90) was worth the penny. The perfectly grilled beef impressed me and well paired with the special brown sauce.

Brownie with Ice Cream 3/5

Bread Pudding 3/5

Apple Crumble 3/5

Besides the extensive mains that are available on the Canadian Pizza Dine In cafe, it also offers some classic desserts for the sweet tooth. We tried the Brownie, Bread Pudding and Apple Crumble. Unfortunately I didn't get to note down the price. The dessert was nothing to shout for but decently good.

In a small way I am quite excited about Canadian Pizza Dine-In Cafe. The mains are value for money and it is currently the only place you get your Canadian Pizza prepared by the chef upon order. What's more, the mains are available for delivery too. At the moment, the cafe is having a Friday night special with $40 spent customer gets a free regular pizza.
