Tried the Sea & Grill Buffet at Carlton City and all I can say is mediocre food with a hefty price tag. This buffet is only available every Friday and Saturday for dinner. Even the options felt kind of limited. Like, I am paying such a premium price at $158++ per pax but there is no cheese, no oyster, etc. Better off going to some other hotel buffet that serves these items and also at a cheaper price. Well, at least there is a 1-for-1 discount with Bank of China, Citibank, DBS/POSB, and OCBC cardholders. The promo ends 27 Dec 2025, but I still do not really find it worthwhile. I know I sound harsh, but oh wells.

Their main attraction is the suckling pig, but boy oh boy, it doesn't live up to the expectation I had. Everything was alright — the skin is crackling, the fat is melty — except the meat, which had a strong porky taste and was a tad firm, making the overall experience quite off-putting. The slow roasted rib eye was too dry and raw. Even the red wine sauce did not help much in improving the taste.

Cakes, kueh, and pastries looked good but tasted pretty mid. Fruits were cut too thick for a single bite and were not sweet or fresh. The DIY shaved ice melted too fast. The breads and drinks section were kinda limited. I expected better for the ice cream brand, but they served Mingo cup.

Well, at least there were some good ones. The chilled tiger prawns were fresh, sweet, and oceanic. The salmon sashimi was thick-cut, rich, and meaty. The laksa was tasty and rich in flavour, but the lobster given in it was pathetic. Luckily, there was chilled Boston lobster from the seafood section for you to add on your own. Moo Ping and satay were flavourful. The yam paste was delicious, thick, and rich in flavour, but a tad dry. Maybe adding a layer of oil will help.

At least they were proactive in clearing the plates fast.

Visiting @endining_sg again to try the shabu-shabu from the All-You-Can-Eat Japanese Buffet!

As you might already know, this buffet offers a wide variety of dishes, especially shabu shabu and niche Okinawan delights rarely seen in other Japanese buffets across Singapore.

Previously, I recommended the Beef Steak, Rafute, Beef Carpaccio, Scallop Mentaiko Yaki, and Ice Cream. But this time? Forget all that. Just focus on the shabu shabu. Order one set of Assorted Shabu Shabu Vegetables and as many plates of Beef Shabu Shabu (100g) as you can eat. You won’t regret it and you’ll definitely cover the cost of the buffet. 😏

The beef is of good quality, with beautiful natural marbling. Just grab the whole plate, dump it into the dashi soup, cook for 7–12 seconds, then plate and eat. No sauces needed, the natural sweetness and meatiness shine through, and the soup essence coats your tongue with juicy flavour. If they offered raw egg, it’d be perfect. I tried the Pork Shabu Shabu too, but the taste was only mid. The vegetables help add sweetness to the savoury soup.

Glad to report the oysters were fresher, juicier, and brinier this time. Scallops didn’t quite hit the mark. Sashimi was fresher than last visit, but Beef Steak declined a little.

Keep track of your orders, they tend to bring wrong items or extras you didn’t ask for. And don’t forget to spam the ice cream after your meal.

Got Defeated by @endining_sg Extensive All-You-Can-Eat Japanese Buffet!

This buffet offers an impressive selection, including shabu shabu and rare Okinawan specials that you won’t find at other Japanese buffets in Singapore.

When I saw that Okinawan cuisine was included, I was excited, as I missed Okinawan food from Japan. However, my expectations led to a slight disappointment. The sea grapes lost their natural brininess, freshness, and signature popping effect. They had been washed down so much that they became tasteless, with a lumpy texture. The Okinawan seaweed had a sharp tang but lacked sweetness. That being said, their Rafute (Braised Pork Belly) and Beef Carpaccio were solid choices.

The buffet also served fresh Japan Murotsu Bay oysters (max 6 pcs/pax, with 1 pc/order), which were large and plump. Unfortunately, I found that the distinct sweet-brininess was minimal. Scallop Mentaiko Yaki (1 pc/order) was oishii. For beef, I recommend getting the Beef Steak instead of the Wafu Saikoro, as it delivers a juicier, fattier texture with a rich wafu sauce flavour, especially when cooked to medium rare. Their sashimi and sushi were pretty mid tbh, but I appreciated the bite-sized cuts and well-pressed sushi rice.

The rest of the offerings were quite standard, so there wasn’t much to comment on. We wanted to try the shabu shabu, but we had hit food coma. Oh well... Instead, we moved on to dessert, which featured either Matcha or Vanilla Häagen-Dazs ice cream to end off the meal.

Festive buffet that runs til Christmas. This is one of the highlights in my opinion. PRC-style fish is very popular in recent years. Their version was on point, while using atas fish. There's supposed to be an alfresco grill but we didn't see it.
