Pan Pacific Singapore’s award-winning buffet restaurant, Edge, invites diners to embark on a seafood-filled culinary journey with “A Sea of Flavours”, an exclusive dinner buffet available from Fridays to Sundays, from 15 May to 21 June 2026. Curated by Executive Chef Andy Oh and his culinary team, the experience showcases an impressive selection of premium seafood, ranging from fresh seafood on ice and succulent crab creations to charcoal-grilled favourites and international specialities, making it a feast that seafood lovers will not want to miss.

The experience begins at the Seafood on Ice station, where an abundant selection of Sustainable Boston Lobster, Snow Crab, Tiger Prawn, Pacific Clam, Sea Whelk, Half Shell Scallop, Sea Conch, Black Mussel and Crawfish awaits. There is also a Japanese section featuring Norwegian Salmon, Maguro and Tako sashimi, alongside an assortment of Sushi and Maki served with wasabi, Japanese gari and shoyu.

Another highlight is the Steamed Oyster station, where plump and juicy oysters are steamed to order and served with garlic sauce and Thai Nam Jim. They were exceptionally fresh and flavourful - so much so that I found myself returning for more than a dozen throughout the evening.

For those who prefer lighter seafood preparations, the Cantonese-style Steamed Fish is not to be missed. Delicately cooked to preserve its natural sweetness and tenderness, it offers a comforting contrast to some of the richer dishes across the buffet.

Crab lovers will be thoroughly spoiled with multiple preparations available throughout the spread. The Stir-fried White Pepper Crab with Scallion delivers a fragrant, peppery kick. At the same time, the Salt-baked Mud Crab, served with chilli sauce and mantou, offers a satisfying combination of sweet crab meat and savoury accompaniments. Equally enjoyable is the Creamy Salted Egg Yolk Crab, coated in a rich and velvety sauce that clings beautifully to every piece.

Moving on to the carving station, the 24-hour Slow Roasted Whole Veal Leg takes centre stage. Slow-cooked to achieve remarkable tenderness, the veal remains juicy and flavourful, pairing wonderfully with the accompanying Yorkshire pudding. Other highlights at the station include succulent Lamb Chops and crispy Pork Knuckle, both equally tempting for meat lovers.

The Japanese Street Food Station offers another noteworthy item: Mayura Station Chocolate-fed Wagyu Beef, served with ponzu and braised leek. The wagyu boasts excellent marbling and a rich, beefy flavour, while the ponzu provides a refreshing, citrusy lift that balances the meat’s richness.

At the Chinese Roast Meats section, diners can enjoy Charcoal-grilled Ibérico Pork Char Siew served with fluffy lotus buns. The char siew is beautifully caramelised with a good balance of sweetness and smokiness. Also available are crispy Roasted Pork Belly and flavourful Roasted Duck, making this station a favourite among fans of traditional Cantonese roasts.

For local comfort food lovers, Edge’s Signature Singapore Laksa remains a must-order. The rich coconut-based broth is packed with flavour and topped with locally farmed Tiger Prawn, quail egg, fish cake, and bean sprouts. The combination delivers all the familiar flavours of a good laksa, elevated with quality ingredients.

Be sure to save room for dessert, as the spread is just as impressive as the savoury offerings. Signature creations include Edge’s Signature Hazelnut Royaltine and Edge’s Signature Durian Pandan Cake, alongside favourites such as Black Sesame Chocolate Cake, White Chocolate Orange Cake and Portuguese Egg Tarts. Hot desserts like Bread Butter Pudding, Snow Fungus with Nashi Pear and Goji Berry Soup, Durian Pengat and Classic Crème Brûlée provide comforting options. At the same time, Honey Jelly with Snow Bird’s Nest and Aloe Vera offers a lighter finish. Traditional sweets such as Assorted Nyonya Kueh and Kueh Lapis are also available.

Pietrasanta @ Connexis Tower, Fusionpolis - Returning To Its Tuscan Roots

PietrasantaJun2026-23

Pietrasanta at Fusionopolis is returning to its Tuscan roots. Drawing inspiration from Pietrasanta in Tuscany, the hometown of founders Niccolò and Chef Loris, the restaurant has created a selection of dishes that captures the rustic flavours, traditions and warm hospitality of Tuscany.

PietrasantaJun2026-2
Crudo Di Ricciola 4.2/5

We started with two cold appetisers that showcased the simplicity and elegance of Tuscan cuisine. Crudo Di Ricciola ($28.90) featured firm, meaty amberjack paired with sweet-tart tomato confit, lightly dressed with lemon and extra-virgin olive oil, and accented with delicate floral notes from pink peppercorns.

PietrasantaJun2026-13
Battuta Di Manzo Con Pecorino Toscano 4/5

Battuta Di Manzo Con Pecorino Toscano ($27.90) highlighted the sharp, intensely savoury character of aged Pecorino Toscano, which was incorporated into the beef tartare alongside lemon and capers, resulting in a bright, balanced finish.

PietrasantaJun2026-10
Fritto Viareggino 4/5

Fritto Viareggino ($26.90) was a moreish medley of battered squid, prawns, sardines and vegetables inspired by the coastal town of Viareggio, served with a marinara mayo dipping sauce.

PietrasantaJun2026-18
Coccoli Ricotta e Finocchiona 4.2/5

The highlight for me among the appetisers was Coccoli Ricotta e Finocchiona ($24.90), a nostalgic Tuscan street food featuring warm deep-fried dough served with burrata cream and Finocchiona salami. Stuffing the fluffy dough with the milky burrata and herbaceous, garlicky salami created a mouthwatering combination of flavours and textures that left me wanting more.

PietrasantaJun2026-33
Pici all’Aglione 4.5/5

Moving on to the mains, Pici all’Aglione ($24.90), the signature Tuscan thick hand-rolled pasta was skilfully executed, delivering a delightful bounce with every bite. The dish embraces the Tuscan philosophy of simplicity, tossing the pasta with just tomato, garlic, and olive oil to let the ingredients’ quality shine.

PietrasantaJun2026-30
Risotto Gamberi e Zucchine 4/5

We also tried two risotto dishes. Cooked with lobster bisque, the Risotto Gamberi e Zucchine ($32.90) was crowd-pleasing, with creamy, flavourful Carnaroli risotto studded with chunky prawns, creating textural enjoyment in every bite.

PietrasantaJun2026-36
Peposo Di Manzo Con Risotto Al Porri 4.2/5

The Peposo Di Manzo Con Risotto Al Porri ($37.90) featured a firmer, more al dente risotto that I personally preferred, paired with satisfyingly tender braised beef cheek. The renewed menu also embraces regional Tuscan flavours through its artisanal pizzas.

PietrasantaJun2026-48
Salsiccia e Cavolo Nero 4.5/5

Among all the mains, the Salsiccia e Cavolo Nero ($28.90) was my absolute favourite and worth returning for. The dough had an excellent structure, providing the perfect foundation for the toppings of mozzarella fior di latte, Tuscan black kale (cavolo nero), flavourful Italian pork sausage, and aged pecorino. Finished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and black pepper, every bite was remarkably balanced, delivering a little of everything at once. It was particularly impressive how the wilted kale contributed so much texture and character to the pizza.

PietrasantaJun2026-59
Tiramisu 4/5

PietrasantaJun2026-63
Zuccotto alla Fiorentina 4.2/5

For dessert, while the Tiramisu ($14.90) was undeniably delectable, the Zuccotto alla Fiorentina ($14.90) offered a rare glimpse into a traditional Florentine sweet. Originating from Florence, this classic dessert is typically crafted in a distinctive pumpkin-shaped mould. Beneath its cake exterior lies a creamy ricotta ice cream filling, complemented by a contrasting sweet-tart berry sauce.

PietrasantaJun2026-42

Pietrasanta has long been a staple in the area, and it’s no surprise given its rustic flavours and traditional recipes executed with finesse. While the dishes embrace simplicity, they are rich in character, with the Salsiccia e Cavolo Nero pizza and Pici all’Aglione standing out as highlights worth returning for.

Pang Pang (胖哥俩肉蟹煲) @ Guoco Midtown II - New Dishes & Generational Dining Deals for a Hearty Seafood Feast

PangPangMay2026-9

Returning to Pang Pang (胖哥俩肉蟹煲) at Guoco Midtown II always feels like coming back to a familiar spot for indulgent, sauce-laden seafood pots. This time, the visit was made even more meaningful with the brand’s Parents’ Day promotion, running from 1 May to 30 June 2026. Designed to encourage family bonding over a communal feast, diners can enjoy up to 30% off their signature pots — 30% for three generations, 20% for two, and 10% for one. It’s a timely reason to gather loved ones around the table.

We were here to try some of their new dishes, alongside a new variation of their signature pot.

PangPangMay2026-12
Spicy Prawn Crab Pot 4.5/5

The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the new Spicy Prawn Crab Pot ($88), a decadent, flavour-packed centrepiece built for sharing. This latest variation brings together two premium seafood ingredients — crabs and prawns — in a robust, savoury-spicy sauce enriched with crab butter and aromatic spices.

The pot arrives brimming with ingredients, including tender chicken feet, soft potatoes, chewy rice cakes, and silky tofu, all steeped in a deeply umami-rich gravy. The chicken feet and potatoes stood out once again, having soaked up the sauce beautifully and cooked down to a soft, almost melt-in-the-mouth texture.

The crabs were fresh and meaty, with the claws thoughtfully pre-cracked, making it easy to enjoy without the usual effort. The prawns were plump and juicy, adding a satisfying bite and sweetness that balanced the spice. Altogether, it’s a hearty, indulgent dish that truly embodies the communal dining experience Pang Pang is known for.

PangPangMay2026-26
Pineapple Shrimp 4/5

To balance the richness of the pot, the Pineapple Shrimp ($16.80) offers a refreshing contrast. Served cold, this newly introduced side dish features succulent peeled prawns paired with juicy pineapple chunks. The combination delivers a bright interplay of sweetness and tanginess, acting as a palate cleanser between bites of the heavier dishes. Light, refreshing and well-executed, it’s a thoughtful addition to the menu that complements the bold flavours of the mains.

PangPangMay2026-24

PangPangMay2026-36
Scallion Infused Noodles 3.5/5

A good carbohydrate pairing is essential when tackling Pang Pang’s rich pots, and the Scallion Infused Noodles ($5.80) fit the role well. The noodles are cooked to a pleasing texture, retaining a springy bite. Tossed in a fragrant blend of scallion oil and soy sauces, the noodles take on a glossy sheen and a savoury depth. The addition of crispy browned scallion bits adds a smoky aroma and extra layer of flavour. While simple, it serves as a comforting base to soak up the leftover sauce from the pot.

PangPangMay2026-19
Deep Fried Chicken Wings 4/5

The Deep Fried Chicken Wings ($12.80) remain a reliable crowd-pleaser. Each wing is fried to a crisp golden-brown exterior, delivering a satisfying crunch with every bite, while the meat inside stays juicy and tender. Lightly seasoned with a savoury spice blend, the wings are flavourful without being overly heavy, making them an addictive starter or side to share around the table.

Pang Pang continues to impress with its hearty, flavour-forward seafood pots designed for communal dining. The new Spicy Prawn Crab Pot is a worthy addition, offering indulgence and bold flavours in every bite. Paired with the refreshing Pineapple Shrimp and comforting sides, the experience feels well-rounded and satisfying. With the ongoing Parents’ Day promotion, there’s no better time to gather family across generations and enjoy a feast together. After all, few things bring people closer than sharing a big pot of rich, comforting food.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Mini Wagyu Slider

The Mini Wagyu Sliders are also worth a mention, featuring juicy patties layered with aged cheddar and caramelised onions, and nestled within fluffy brioche buns. Despite their modest size, these bites are surprisingly satisfying and well-executed.

A key highlight of the brunch is the reimagined lineup of individually plated chef’s signatures, elevating the dining experience beyond the traditional buffet.

Photo 30-4-26, 4 19 17 AM
Chawanmushi

The Lobster and Yuzu Chawanmushi is another refined creation, delicately steamed in kombu dashi and topped with ikura, delivering a silky texture, umami-rich flavours, and a gentle citrus lift.

Photo 30-4-26, 4 19 37 AM
Seared Scallop

Equally noteworthy are the seared Scallop à la Provençale, served with a smooth cauliflower velouté, brown butter and crisp capers. The dish offers a harmonious balance of richness and subtle sweetness, complemented by layers of texture.

Photo 30-4-26, 4 17 40 AM
Smoked Salmon and Trout Roulade

The Smoked Salmon and Trout Roulade presents a lighter yet flavourful option, paired with dill crème fraîche, pickled shallots and rye crisps. The combination brings together freshness, tanginess and a pleasant crunch.

Photo 30-4-26, 4 18 45 AM
