Seafood lovers rejoice as Spice Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road brought back their beloved all-you-can-eat weekend seafood buffet and it's only available for a limited period of time. The latest buffet menu had been expanded to include even more seafood, making it bigger and better. Expect to find the freshest catches such as Singapore's ever popular flavoured crab dishes, scallops, slipper lobster, seabass, prawns and more.
Being a crab lover, I was overjoyed to start the month of June and also to celebrate my birthday by having this seafood buffet feast together with my family.
Upon arrival, we were brought to a specially prepared dining area where they have set up another buffet line featuring just the main highlights of the buffet which were the crabs prepared in different flavours like Salted Egg, Black Pepper and the iconic Chilli with the fried mantou as well as the Oatmeal Prawns with Curry Leaves. These dishes were so popular that they decided to prepare extra portion in order for us to get a good photo of them before they were snapped up in no time outside.

During the a short guided tour around the main buffet area, we were introduced to the different stations available in the main buffet area. I love how spacious and cosy the whole place was. There were also some partially enclosed seating areas for those who prefers to eat their meals in some sort of privacy while overlooking the window outside. I fell in love with this zen atmosphere and even Rena also kept running out to this place during the whole dinner.
We began our meal by having some Japanese sushi and cold soba. Beside the Japanese counter, there was an ensemble of seafood on ice with selections like the Whole Sea Whelk, Black Mussel, Marinated Stone Crab Claw, Seasoned Jelly Fish, Baby Lobster, Scallops on Shell, Marinated Clams, and more. Check out the variety of Salmon, Tuna, Hamachi and Swordfish sashimi!
At the Indian counter, one can find Indian cuisine like Naan, Aloo Gobi and Biryani Rice. A wise choice as this hotel is located near Little India.
On top of that, we also tried some of the mouth-watering hot dishes such as the Slow Roast Beef with Gravy, Fried Whole Sea Bass in Hong Kong Style and XO Seafood Bee Hoon, just to name a few.
At the Live station, the chef was preparing piping hot Oyster Omelette, Cuttlefish Kang Kong Bee Hoon and Yong Tau Foo. After selecting some ingredients to put in, the Yong Tau Foo Soup is ready to be served. Mix it with some rice and that's dinner for Rena!
In between, I also pick up and ate a few satay sticks while I was walking around to get food from the different buffet counters. Hehe. Can't stop eating!
The only station that I didn't try was their fried food and crackers. There's really a great varieties of the crackers but I have decided to save my stomach space for the crabs!
We decided to leave the crabs as the last item to eat as we know we will get our hands messy and dirty. The sequence that we ate our crab are chili crab, salted egg yolk crab and the black pepper crab and that would not disappoint. My favourite part of the crab is the pincer and hubby got that for me!
The Chili Crab sauce goes well with the fried mantou, it's a dish that all Singaporeans were custom to and enjoy eating.
Both my husband and my favourite of the three was the Salted Egg Yolk Crab, the creamy salted egg yolk sauce was not too overpowering and leave us wanting for more after eating the succulent crab meat. Salted egg yolk dishes were either so thick that one would get sick if consumed too much but not this one at Spice Brasserie.
We leave the fiery Black Pepper Crab the last to taste. The peppery taste was strong but not too overwhelming to cover the sweetness of the crab's flesh. It was so good, I wished I could have eaten more!
After all that eating, we thought it's time to customize our drinks at the DIY mocktail bar. This is actually a debut at Spice Brasserie to bring diners free-flow of refreshing DIY mocktails. First, we mix in the flavoured premium syrups for that we choose Apple and Lychee and then we add in the soda water before topping it off with some condiments like cherries, lychee or sour plum. Viola, our personal concoction is done! Thumbs up for this interesting concept.
We rounded up our meal with the assortment of desserts available. We had the Durian Pengat with Sticky Rice, Pulut Hitam, Cheng Teng, cakes, ice cream as well as fruits.

It was really a great meal where my family and I enjoyed eating together. As the saying goes, 'the family that eats together, stays together.' The spread of variety of food they have is just nice for us. A big thanks to Fion for the invite and also Executive Chef Robert Chan and his culinary team at Spice Brasserie for putting together Singapore's favourite seafood dishes!
