Verandah Rooftop Rotisserie @ Momentus Hotel Alexandra - New Buffet Menu with Premium Meat Offerings and A La Carte Delights

IMG_8351

Verandah Rooftop Rotisserie, located on the 7th level of Momentus Hotel Alexandra, is known for its poolside dining experience, where you get to feast with a view that looks out across the canopy of The Southern Ridges. Offering a unique concept of modern European cuisine infuses an Asian twist. Its latest Weekend Buffet Dinner menu includes premium meat offerings and new a la carte delights.

Seafood On Ice

The Seafood on Ice Station was bountiful with beautiful Live Pacific Oysters, Poached Sea Prawns and Black Mussels.

Charcuterie and Antipasti

Smoked Salmon

The Cold Larder station is allured with an extensive selection of chilled items, featuring a range of Charcuterie and Antipasti. Don't miss the in-house Smoked Salmon - it's arguably one of the best I've had in buffet spreads, offering a delectable, luscious texture and mouthfeel.

75°C Slow Roasted Argentinian Angus Beef Ribeye Australian Wagyu Tomahawk

The main draw of the buffet dinner is the Live Action Kitchen of succulent roasts. The 75°C Slow Roasted Argentinian Angus Beef Ribeye excites all senses as you watch the chef expertly grills your order a la minute on Hibachi Grill with Binchotan. With this extra step of grilling, the meat's flavours are definitely superior to a regular roast. Australian Wagyu Tomahawk adds to the feast as well.

48-Hour Citrus Brined Rotisserie Chicken

Crackling Stuffed Porchetta

Verandah Rooftop Rotisserie's signature 48-hour Citrus Brined Rotisserie Chicken isn't just your regular rotisserie-style chicken. Marinated with a blend of 12 spices, the meat was moist and tender, carrying the delectable flavours of its citrus brine, especially the chicken skin. The Crackling Stuffed Porchetta was a hit too. I love the end of the porchetta, which carried a good portion of the crackling!

Parmigiano Cheese Wheel Pasta

Parmigiano Cheese Wheel Pasta is a crowd-pleaser. Every plate is prepared fresh upon order. I enjoyed the chunks of the parmigiano that were tossed into the pasta.

Pizzas

Hand-stretched, thin-crust sourdough pizzas are freshly baked in a wood-fired oven using applewood. Three flavours are available - Classic Margherita, Seafood Sakura Ebi that tastes very much like Takoyaki, and a more saucy Gochujang Chicken.

IMG_8385
Wood Fire Seafood Paella

The Wood Fire Seafood Paella is worth a mention. Not often will you find this dish offered in a buffet; its quality is restaurant-worthy or even better.

Grilled Octopus

IMG_8418
Seared Scallops

Diners are invited to scan a QR code to order. A La Carte delights will be served at your table. The selection is impressive - Fish en Papillote, Cod fish, Seared Scallops, Grilled Octopus and Burnt Iberico Pork Secreto. Even though each is served in individual portions, every item is thoughtfully plated. I was particularly delighted by the Grilled Octopus that was accompanied by a Pedron Pepper, which added a special touch to the presentation and flavours.

IMG_8425
Cod Fish

The Cod Fish was aptly seared, attaining a delightful char on the edges that added to its flavour profile. The pickled ginger slices served on the side provided a tangy contrast to cut through the richness of the fish's meat.

Dessert creations include Sticky Date Pudding, Buttery Madeleines, and a Choux A La Creme tower with caramel. The Pink Chocolate Fondue was mesmerising and pretty delicious too. But what I liked most was the Sago Pudding, which is a rare tasty treat for a buffet spread.
