Bedrock Origin @ Oasia Resort Sentosa - New Sunday Bottomless Brunch, The Harvest Table

Bedrock Origin at Oasia Resort Sentosa has just launched a hearty new Sunday brunch that's well worth getting out of bed for. Aptly named "The Harvest Table – Land and Sea", this bottomless brunch offers a delightful communal dining experience, served in the peaceful, resort-style setting of Sentosa.

Held every Sunday from 12pm to 3.30pm (last order at 3pm), The Harvest Table – Land and Sea brunch (4.2/5) is priced at $78++ per person and offers unlimited servings of a multi-course feast. A good number of dishes are served à la minute, where each dish is cooked to order. This ensures that the food arrives hot and fresh, reducing the food waste common in buffet-style dining. It is a nice option for family gatherings, as children aged 6 and under dine for free, while those aged 7 to 12 enjoy the full experience for $28++.

Flatbread with Roasted Garlic & Butter

Smoked Tomato Soup, Truffle Mushroom Soup, Burrata & Tomato Salad

Grilled Tiger Prawns

Begin your brunch experience with an enticing array of starters. Tear into warm, freshly baked Flatbread served with aromatic Roasted Garlic and Butter, alongside comforting options such as Bedrock's Smoked Tomato Soup and Truffle Mushroom Soup. Salad options include the Chargrilled Caesar Salad, Burrata with Tomato, Grilled Tiger Prawns and Jamon. I loved the creamy freshness of the burrata salad and had multiple servings!

Bedrock Mac 'N' Cheese

Beef Fat Fried Rice

Truffle Mashed Potatoes

Complement your meal with a variety of tasty side dishes, served tableside from a roving trolley. Highlights include Bedrock's indulgent Mac 'N' Cheese, Silky Truffle Mashed Potatoes, and the flavourful Beef Fat Fried Rice. I would've happily had a few more bowls if I weren't saving stomach space for the mains.

Sauteed Mushrooms

Woodfire Grilled Chilli Corn

Chargrilled Spicy Brussels Sprouts

Black Truffle Fries

For lighter options, Sautéed Mushrooms, Chargrilled Spicy Brussels Sprouts, and Woodfire Grilled Chilli Corn are available. The Truffle Fries, served hot and crispy, were also great. While it's tempting to fill up on these yummy sides, be sure to save room for the meat and seafood dishes.

Kombu Cured Tomahawk

French Black Pork Rack

Roasted Spatchcock Chicken

The Kombu-cured Tomahawk Steak leads the main course selection, though it might be too rare for some. Other meat options include a slow-cooked Lamb Shoulder, a French Black Pork Rack, and Roasted Spatchcock Chicken, which are all decent, hearty choices. Providing a few more sauces or hot gravy to go with the meat would have made it even better!

Pan-fried Barramundi Fillet

Deep-fried Fish Collar

Clams with White Wine

On the seafood side, there’s Pan-fried Barramundi Fillet, Deep-fried Fish Collar, and the chef’s selection, which during my visit featured a bowl of fresh Clams in White Wine Sauce. I enjoyed all three, but the fish collar stood out the most, with its crispy skin and tender, soft flesh inside.

Chilli Crab Linguine

There are also two pasta options - Carbonara and Chilli Crab Linguine. I tried the chilli crab linguine, but found the sauce lacking. There are also some teething issues with the service — my orders were missed a few times, and we had to gently remind the staff. Fortunately, the long brunch hours meant there was no need to rush.

Apple Crumble

We wrapped our brunch on a sweet note with Bedrock's signature Apple Crumble, served warm and perfectly spiced, complemented by a scoop of ice cream. It's sure to be a hit with both adults and children alike.

Lemon Cake

A cake trolley adds a charming touch, offering a selection of favourites like Chocolate, Banana, Lemon, and Carrot Cake. Unfortunately, the chocolate cake ran out early in the service, so I didn't try it. However, the lemon and carrot cake I tried was not bad.

Carrot Cake

For drinks, free-flow alcohol is available for just $28++. The offerings include Carlsberg Smooth Draught, Sapporo Premium, and classic cocktails like Mimosa and Bellini. Wine enthusiasts can enjoy Riondo Sparkling Rosé and selections from Casas del Toqui Single Estate: a Sauvignon Blanc and a Merlot.

The non-alcoholic beverage selection is priced at $10++. It offers a variety of refreshing options, such as Cranberry Juice, Pink Grapefruit Juice, Orange Juice, Coke, Coke Zero, Root Beer, Sprite, and Ginger Ale.

Banana Cake

Overall, The Harvest Table — Land and Sea was a satisfying and relaxed weekend brunch experience. The dishes were generally well-executed, and it is best enjoyed with a group so that you can try everything on the menu. Enjoy 10% off your bill when you pay with Mastercard®, applicable to the bottomless brunch menu only, not the drinks packages.

Edge @ Pan Pacific Singapore - Embrace the Joyous Season and Endless Celebrations with Extravagant Buffet Spreads

Embrace the joyous season with endless celebrations and a luxurious dining experience at Edge, Pan Pacific Singapore. From 21 November 2024, indulge in a feast curated by Executive Chef Andy Oh and his talented culinary team. The buffet showcases a harmonious blend of festive classics and international delights, featuring premium seafood, succulent roasts, and the season's signature favourites.

The Seafood on Ice station boasts an impressive selection, including Boston Lobsters, Freshly Shucked Oysters, Prawns, Pacific Clams, Sea Conch, and Crawfish. The lobster meat is so sweet, but the oysters are a little less plump than expected.

Edge never disappoints when it comes to its cheese offerings. A standout for us was the Port Salut, a soft cheese with a smoky undertone that makes it an irresistible treat. We also discovered the Red Pesto Tomme, which adds an intriguing twist to the classic Tomme with its vibrant pesto-infused flavour.

A highlight of the buffet is the Miso Cod Fish. While it may not rival Nobu's version, this dish impressed me with its soft texture, fresh quality, and delicate marinade. Served alongside tender okra, it's a must-try!

Meat lovers are in for a treat with an extensive selection of festive specialities. The Traditional Roasted Turkey Breast is perfectly cooked to retain its juiciness, while the Maple-Glazed Gammon Ham offers a delightful balance of sweet and savoury flavours. Other highlights include the Roasted Whole Lamb, which is tender and aromatic, and the succulent Roasted Pork Porchetta with its crispy crackling. For a touch of indulgence, the Australian Black Angus Beef Tomahawk steals the spotlight with its rich, smoky flavours. Pair these dishes with a variety of sauces such as apple sauce, olive sauce, and red wine sauce to elevate your dining experience.

The Live Grill Station offers an exciting array of freshly prepared delights. From the smoky and flavourful Salt & Pepper Squid to the tender Marinated Angus Beef Short Rib, every bite is a testament to the chefs’ skill. The Grilled Chicken, seasoned to perfection, is a crowd favourite, while the variety of homemade sausages ensures there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Western classics are another highlight of the buffet. The Slow-Baked Fish Filet in Minestrone Mussels Broth is light yet satisfying, combining the delicate flavours of the sea with a comforting broth. Meanwhile, the Oven-Baked Chicken with Cacciatore and Olive provides a hearty and flavourful option.

Pizza lovers can indulge in freshly hand-stretched pizzas with a range of toppings. It's worth a slice if you have a stomach for some carbs!

Indian station featuring flavoursome curries and traditional favourites such as Butter Chicken, Papadam, Naan and Fish Tikka from the Tandoori oven.

The buffet's Asian and local offerings are equally impressive. At the Indian station, diners can savour robust curries and other traditional dishes. Local favourites include the iconic Singapore Chilli Crab, paired with fluffy mantou for dipping, as well as a variety of double-boiled soups and stir-fried dishes. The Asian Live Station features piping hot bowls of Laksa, a selection of Yong Tau Foo Soup, and the fragrant Penang Wok-Hei Fried Kway Teow. For those who love roasted delicacies, there are Peking Duck, Roasted Chicken, Pork Belly, and Honey Glazed Char Siew.

No meal at Edge is complete without a visit to the dessert station. The festive spread includes Christmas Log Cakes, Verrines such as Panna Cotta and Durian Pengat, a decadent Chocolate Fountain, and a selection of gelato and sorbet. For those with a penchant for local sweets, the Nyonya Kueh and hot desserts like Cheng Teng provide a comforting end to the meal.

An exciting addition is the Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream, made fresh on the spot. The Milo flavour is a standout. Just be sure to enjoy it quickly, as it melts fast!

The praline selection is a delightful surprise, with unique flavours like Mango, Cranberry, Strawberry, and Bandung. Each piece is exquisitely crafted, offering a burst of flavour we absolutely love.

The entire restaurant is beautifully decorated with Christmas-themed décor, creating a warm and festive atmosphere. With big groups of diners filling the space, the celebrations felt vibrant and joyful. Reservations are highly recommended to secure your spot.

The buffet is available daily for lunch and dinner, starting from $88++ per person. For more information and a detailed menu, visit https://www.menu-ppsin.panpacific.com/edge-festive-2024

Verandah Rooftop Rotisserie @ Momentus Hotel Alexandra - Verandah Rooftop Rotisserie x Blue Smoke Four Hands Buffet Experience

Verandah Rooftop Rotisserie at Momentus Hotel Alexandra is elevating its buffet dining experience through a unique and limited-time collaboration with Blue Smoke, a local BBQ and smokehouse led by Executive Chef Ivan Yeo. Running from 1 to 31 July 2024, the weekend buffet dinner will feature an exquisite spread that highlights the best of both Momentus Hotel Alexandra’s Executive Chef Jeffrey Tan and the award-winning Executive Chef Ivan Yeo from Blue Smoke.

Smoked Garam Masala Beef Tomahawk

Among the many highlights of this buffet, the Smoked Garam Masala Beef Tomahawk was a rare treat. This dish features beef tomahawk marinated with garam masala, smoked for approximately an hour, and then grilled to a medium-rare finish.

Grilled Tamarind Barramundi

My personal favourite was the Grilled Tamarind Barramundi. Zested up with a thick tamarind paste, the fish was incredibly moist and tender. The smoky nuances combined with the tangy paste add a depth of flavor to the natural sweetness of the fish.

Charred Napa Cabbage

The Charred Napa Cabbage with Smoked Garlic Aioli, while flavorful, could benefit from more thorough cooking in the middle to ensure a consistent texture.

Grilled Australian Lamb Shoulder

Kombu Butter Tiger Prawns

The Grilled Australian Lamb Shoulder, seasoned impeccably with herbs and spices, had a pleasing flavor, though its texture leaned towards being slightly dry. Similarly, the Kombu Butter Tiger Prawns were flavorful but a bit dry.

Pork Belly Bulgogi

Balinese Chicken Wings

Pork Belly Bulgogi was another tantalizing dish, with a smoky-sweet caramelization on the surface that provided a satisfying bite. The Balinese Chicken Wings were also a crowd pleaser, thanks to their well-balanced seasoning and tender meat.

Green Lip Mussels

Smoked Wagyu Beef Brisket

In addition to the extensive buffet spread, there is a special tasting menu featuring five curated dishes, two of which are from Blue Smoke. The Green Lip Mussels stewed in Thai green curry and smoked lychee were particularly noteworthy, with a superb punchy green curry. The 20-hour Smoked Wagyu Beef Brisket, served in crispy pie tee cups, offered an unctuous mouthfeel with the contrast of crispy bites, making it a delightful indulgence.

1 – 31 July 2024. Weekend Buffet Dinner Fri & Sat: 6:00pm – 10:00pm $98++ per adult, $42++ per child (6 – 11 years old).
