Momiji Shabu Shabu (hotpot buffet) by the Suki Group of Restaurants once again tops the ranks for the most value-for-money buffet places in Singapore, right after the success of Momiji Japanese Buffet Restaurant at City Square Mall.

The hotpot concept Momiji Shabu Shabu presents an array of over 100 items in the buffet line, a selection of cooked food, sushi, fruits, soft drinks, teas, hot beverages, desserts, and raw ingredients for the hotpot.

Highlights include fine-cut meats at the live station, foie gras-something-of-the-day presented on wooden boards alongside dainty savouries, freshly shucked oysters in a few varieties, and more.

I’ve been to Plaza Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Beach Road several times now, and have tried their seafood promotions in 2012 and 2013. My all-time favourite at this buffet restaurant would be the live station where varieties of fish are cooked a la minute. Think: unlimited servings of steamed sea bass, red grouper and fish head curry.


Steamed Sea Bass in Hong Kong Style


Fish Head Curry


Sea salt-crusted Salmon with Bread Stuffing

This year, seafood indulgence has been taken up a notch. Four variations of Norwegian salmon will be served throughout the Treasures of the Sea promotion, from 14 March till 30 April 2014.


Salmon Wellington

Discriminating palates will approve of the dexterously baked Salmon Wellington (moist salmon encased in a flaky puff pastry), and the Sea salt-crusted Salmon with Bread Stuffing. For a hit of spice, go for the Grilled Salmon Fillet with Asian Sambal Chilli in Banana Leaves. The Classic Baked Whole Salmon with Herb Spices is an obvious choice for those who like things uncomplicated.

Over at the Crustacean Corner, diners get to decide on the sauce that goes best with their seafood – bamboo clams, white clams, green mussels, soft-shell clams (lala), fresh prawns, mud crabs and soft shell crabs – be it the black bean sauce, XO sauce or the spicy coriander sauce.
