Managed to get this Sunday buffet under 1-1 🤟 the variety isn’t mind blowing, but quality is nubbad! I skipped the chilli crab & stir fried dishes but I’ll list down my favourites & definite order agains!! I must also say though their desserts are disappointing haha even though I LOVE desserts, I hardly ate their desserts. Just go straight for their mains srsly just whAcck!!!! Should order:
- Seafood: Prawn, Mussels, Scallop (skip the crab leg; also I don’t like oysters so idk how nice they are)
- Sashimi
- All the teppanyaki
- Lobster mentaiyaki
- Prawn tempura
Overall, whack their expensive stuff (which are also the nicer ones to me) & def will still be worth 👍
——
OVERALL: 4/5
This buffet was by far the least extensive among the 4 I’ve tried so far. Yet, I felt rushed to finish ASAP even though the food took a long time to arrive each time.
Desserts weren’t worth much of a mention & raw seafood weren’t fresh either. But dishes worth trying were:
baked scallop
swordfish sashimi
lobster teppanyaki (it’s not in the menu so do ask for it!)
truffle wild mushroom risotto
spicy chicken wing
prawn tempura
crabmeat & tobiko garlic fried rice
The variety of seafood lives up to its name in freshness.
.
The standouts here include the mussels with their plump juicy briny salty sweet flavour, the bouncy scallops with clean sweet notes, and the plump juicy snow crab pincers with lovely sweet briny flavour.
.
You can't choose what seafood comes in the bowl, but you can order several rounds of it.

Highlights include the tender grilled shiitake mushrooms with bold earthy sweet salty flavour, the creamy smooth mashed potato with rich earthy starchy flavour, and the tender honey baked ham with meaty savoury salty flavour.
.
The crunchy grilled asparagus was alright with its vegetal earthy sweet flavour, as was the snappy juicy pork sausages with savoury salty smoky flavour.

This is sliced into large juicy cubes, with a tender bouncy chew that releases a burst of meaty savoury salty flavour.
.
With a medium doneness, the exterior carries a slight smoky char, while the pink interior entices with its glistening looks.
.
So good; we called for several rounds.

This is fresh with medium thick slices, lending a nice bouncy succulent chew to texture.
.
The salmon fish has a mild sweet savoury flavour, while the tuna fish has a meaty savoury flavour.
.
The star was the oily swordfish, with addictive fatty meaty sweet flavour.
.
The octopus was clean-tasting with natural sweet notes. Pairs nicely with some light soy sauce and wasabi.

The curry was served with a deshelled prawn / shrimp, which was fresh and bouncy with lovely sweet flavour. The curry itself was sharply spicy savoury, with a slight lingering heat.

With the ongoing pandemic, hotels have had to adapt their buffets.
.
Here, the long buffet lines are now gone, in its place is an international ala-carte buffet, where guests remain seated throughout. Orders are taken via order chits, and served to your table.
.
Overall, it remains pretty decent, though the range of items has been reduced from pre-pandemic availability.
.
Prices have also been adjusted downwards accordingly.

Triple three is one of the better buffet that serve quality food. There is also a 1-for-1 promo when you pay with DBS card ,which made it even better. My only letdown for the spread was their dessert, which was very limited.
Friends recommended the buffet here for their good quality beef. Snapshots of the servings what I thought was their best - Roasted Ribeye, hence they repeated servings. I had some roasted pork belly, lamb cooked the Sri Lankan style. The roasted pork belly was quite a disappointing this time for some reason, no wow factor in terms of taste and texture.
This will mark the first of our Mooncake Festival posts, though the festival will take place only 2 months later (13 September)!

Previously, I've always believed that buffets do not offer the quality of food that restaurants do, as they have to prepare them in big batches. However, Triple Three proved me wrong.
The weekend lunch buffet ($78++) boasts a large variety of food of many different cuisines and I can safety say that almost all of them are of very high standards.
Notable ones are the salmon sashimi cuts, as these are much thicker and fresher than what you can get in restaurants. The ribeye cut is really tender, and trust me, you can cut it with a spoon. It's really juicy, you probably don't need any sauce to go with it.
Service here is absolutely wonderful, as most staffs are really courteous! If you have a special someone to bring for a birthday treat, they have complimentary birthday cake and song service too!
😝 have an extravagant feast to celebrate the Yuletide season before welcoming the new year.
Feast on Premium Honey-glazed Ham, Roasted US Turkey, Oven-roasted Kumamoto Wagyu, and many more at Triple Three. And sinking your teeth into the elaborate spread of classic Christmas dessert such as Dark Cherry Yule Log, Fruit Cake, Stollen, even Toffee Pudding!

Don’t know why they didn’t cut the raw blue fin tuna for us to see this time :( but overall a very good experience!! The dishes worth second servings were the beef steaks and tuna sashimi. Have been eating at this restaurant for many many years - one of the best buffet to date. #burpple #triplethree #hokkaidoharvest #buffet #seafood #lobster #sashimi
Scroll through the post for more pics! 😍
Apart from that, you can also enjoy their classic buffet with some of my favourite items like creole seafood stew and mentaiko lobster 🤤
End the meal with a sweet ending - desserts!! 😆
The star of the buffet has to be the Lobster Mentaiyaki!! Wow!! Super huge lobster spread with lots of Mentaiyaki and they torched it before serving! Super tasty and mouth-watering! Others we enjoyed including their thickly sliced salmon sashimi and salmon belly, beef cubes as well as their aglio olio at their live station.. they also serve fresh yummy oysters which got @phusionade hooked! #triplethree #mandarinorchardsingapore #mandarinorchardhotel #buffet #triplethreebuffet

A widespread of premium meat, seafood and many other dishes cooked in good ole American fashion. Starting from small bites like Lobster Rolls to meaty cuts such as Black Angus Prime Ribs or the Seafood Creole Stew before we end our meal with sweet treats such as American Cheesecake and fruity popsicles. We were also thrilled to have Chef Sam specially crafting a unique dish of tandoori chicken, loaded with tacos, guacamole and sauces for us.
