Sushiro @ Square 2 - Crowd Favourite Conveyor Belt Sushi Opens 18th Outlet in Novena

We’ve been big fans of Sushiro and were excited to learn that they’ve opened their newest and 18th outlet at Novena Square 2. It’s conveniently located right by the MRT exit to Square 2 - just head up the stairs and you’re there.

The outlet is spacious and brightly lit, consistent with Sushiro’s other locations. What we enjoy most are their seasonal menu launches and attractive promotions, which always give us a good reason to return. The easiest way to stay updated is via their Instagram, @sushirosingapore.

Crab lovers should not miss their ongoing “Claws for Celebration” seasonal menu. Our favourites included the light, crispy Soft Shell Crab ($4.90), the buttery, indulgent Mix Crab Stack with Crab Butter & Lemon ($5.90), and the Fresh Snow Crab ($3.90). The latter is also available in variations such as Aburi Fresh Snow Crab with Salt and Lemon ($3.90) and Aburi Soy Sauce Fresh Snow Crab ($3.90).

The Soft Shell Crab, in particular, was served piping hot and generously filled with crab roe.

This festive period, dine in at any Sushiro outlet to receive a free limited-edition Dakkosushi Ang Bao (a pack of six) with a minimum spend of $50. You’ll also receive an $8 return voucher, with both promotions available while stocks last.

Beyond the seasonal offerings, there’s an extensive selection of sushi and dishes to choose from. Expect classics such as Salmon Belly, Bluefin Fatty Tuna, Red Snapper, Yellowtail and Scallop, alongside creative items such as Cold Chawanmushi, Aburi Shrimp Cheese, Salmon with Avocado, and Marinated Sesame Young Yellowtail.

There are also fried items, sides, noodles, soups and desserts to round up the meal. Prices are indicated by coloured plates, starting from $2.90.

For added convenience, we recommend making a reservation in advance via the Sushiro mobile app and checking in upon arrival to ensure smooth seating.

Sheraton Towers Singapore - Festive Celebrations At The Dining Room

For this festive season, Sheraton Towers Singapore presents an extravagant buffet spread and a selection of festive takeaways featuring beloved holiday classics at The Dining Room.

Staying true to tradition, the symbolic Oven-roasted Christmas Turkey is a classic done right - golden-brown skin with succulent, tender meat.

BBQ Glazed Wagyu Rump

Citrus Tamarind-Glazed Semi Bone-in Gammon Ham

You can also enjoy the BBQ Glazed Wagyu Rump, rich and flavourful, and the Citrus Tamarind-Glazed Semi Bone-in Gammon Ham, served with a bright pineapple sauce that lifts the overall profile.

Spicy Turmeric Coconut Turkey

For festive takeaways, The Dining Room introduces a bolder reinterpretation of the classic turkey: the Spicy Turmeric Coconut Turkey ($208). Inspired by traditional Singapore Malay flavours, it is served with tomato basmati rice, green bean kerabu, and mung bean crackers. Infused with turmeric, bird’s eye chilli, and rich coconut milk, it offers warm, familiar notes that will add depth and colour to your festive table.

Seafood on Ice

Sushi and Sashimi

The buffet also showcases a lavish Seafood on Ice selection, along with Sushi and Sashimi.

Cheese and Charcuterie Counter

The Cheese and Charcuterie Counter is fully stocked with an impressive variety of cheeses, condiments, and artisanal charcuterie. The Salad Bar is equally delightful, offering beautifully plated salads alongside a vibrant selection of fresh greens.

Parmesan Herb-crusted Maine Lobster

An array of premium hot dishes, such as Parmesan Herb-crusted Maine Lobster, is complemented by a variety of Chinese and Asian specialities.

To elevate the festive atmosphere, an outdoor BBQ station adds smoky, crowd-pleasing flavours to the experience.

Baked Brie En Croûte

One of my favourites was definitely the Baked Brie En Croûte. Prepared à la minute, the warm, oozy brie has a lightly caramelised, flaky exterior and is served atop crusty toast. Paired generously with honey and nuts, it was wonderfully decadent.

Spiced Pumpkin Meringue Tart

White Forest

Desserts were incredible. Classics such as Panettone, Almond Stollen, and Christmas Fruit Cake were beautifully executed, alongside more creative additions like the Spiced Pumpkin Meringue Tart and White Forest, a new creation featuring vanilla sponge and griottines cherries. Of course, no festive spread would be complete without a classic logcake, and their Crunchy Chocolate Praline Logcake proved to be a definite crowd-pleaser.

We enjoyed the selection of cold dishes under the Christmas Salad spread, especially the Roasted Squash & Pomegranate Quinoa Salad and the Maple Baked Ham Salad. Other options include the Heirloom Tomato Caprese Salad, Duck Leg Confit with Smoked Lemon Hummus and more.

Beside it sits the Sashimi and Sushi station, where sashimi lovers can look forward to Norwegian Salmon Trout, Yellow Fin Tuna and Hokkaido Tako.

The popular Seafood on Ice section showcases Red Prawns, Cherry Clams, Sea Whelks, Black Mussels and Half Shell Scallops. These were of decent quality. Depending on the buffet session, diners can also look forward to Snow Crabs and Boston Lobsters.

The highlight of the spread is undoubtedly the Festive Carvings. Diners can choose from a range of hearty meats, including Spanish Style Honey and Brandy Glazed Royal Ham, French Style Butter & Black Truffle Infused Roasted Whole Turkey, Moroccan Style Slow Roasted Australian Grain Fed Black Angus Striploin and Greece Style Papillote Sustainable Barramundi.

We also appreciated the thoughtful pairings, with each carving accompanied by its own condiments and sides, such as Cinnamon Apple Chutney and Rum & Raisin Sauce for the Royal Ham, or Baby Potatoes and Yorkshire Pudding to go with the Striploin.

There was also a Seafood Orzo Pasta prepared in a Cheese Wheel, which was a crowd favourite during our visit.

The Grill & Stove station featured items such as Homemade Chicken Satay, Slow-Cooked Wagyu Beef Cheek, Turkish-Style Chicken, Tiger Prawns A La Plancha, Lebanese-Style Lamb Chop, and a Festive Sourdough Pizza of the Day. There were a few misses for us here, but the Tiger Prawns were grilled just right.

Local Favourites continue to be a key element for the restaurant, with the Local & Chinese and Indian stations serving dishes such as Stir Fry Mala Pork, Steamed Fish with Crispy Taucheo, Stir Fry Chow Mein, Naan Bread, Paneer Butter Masala and Andhra Pepper Chicken. Do note that the items at these stations rotate regularly.

For diners craving quintessential comfort bowls, the chefs at the Live Station can prepare Prawn Noodles and Laksa on the spot. Alternatively, the Roast Station offers Chicken Rice with a selection of roasted meats and all the classic accompaniments.

Bread and Cheese lovers can check out the variety available.

The Dessert section features a mix of festive treats and the cafe’s signature dishes. The logcakes were delightful, with options such as the light Tahitian Vanilla & Caramel Pear and the richer Cherry & Chestnut Hukambi 53%.

Other Christmas-themed Sweets include Traditional Minced Fruit Pie, Oaty Granola Tart and Spiced Christmas Cookies. Chocolate lovers should try the Festive Cranberry Chocolate Pudding, which was indulgent but not overly sweet.

For familiar favourites, the Signature Durian Pengat, Signature Mango Cake and a Chocolate Fountain with condiments remain popular choices.
