FOODIE VS THE WORLD 

Sunday brunch is one of my favourite meals. So I was super excited to try Sofitel Damansara’s Sunday brunch. Before I got married, it would be the perfect date for me. As a morning person, I love getting up early and getting everything I need done, then enjoying the rest of the day - from brunch to going for a massage to ending the weekend with an early night. But after I got married, Sunday brunch time became family time. My husband’s long standing appointment with his famil

To a budding #ecowarrior, the Element brand by Westin is both compelling and extremely attractive. Pursuing this idea of sustainability, this eco-friendly hotel chain seeks to offer not only a comfortable and luxurious stay, but also to leave minimal footprints behind. From their exoskeleton architecture that uses recycled rainwater to feed all the greenery inside and around the hotel, to the package-less amenities in the guest rooms, this sort of environmental accountability

Now, start your engines and race down to Mercure Singapore Bugis, as the Rasa Sayang BBQ Buffet is making a comeback! Expect more than 30 hearty local and traditional delights from now till 9 December 2018. And as the name suggests, there will be barbecued food! Enter the Royale Restaurant and you’d see a small door that leads to an outdoor patio at the far side. An eloquent BBQ station has been set outside to char and grill your meat of choice for the night. We were going ab

It’s that time of the year again, when The Carvery hosts its third annual “The Great Meat Feast”! Steady those knives and forks, as they yet again present a fine and prime selection of beef from around the world. And this time, from the likes of Australia, Uruguay and Japan. Having heard raving reviews from our fellow writers at Foodie Vs The World about last year's "The Great Meat Feast", we just had to make our way down to Park Hotel Alexandra once again this year, whe

My favourite season of the year is here -- the durian season, where the best of the best durians can be found just about anywhere. And until Wednesday 8 August 2018, we will be giving ONE lucky winner a $100 voucher to dine at The Line! Check out our Instagram page for details on how to win the voucher! The Line in Shangri-La has undoubtedly been my go-to place for a scrumptious feast over the past couple of years, be it a gathering with family or friends. Its reputation of o

As someone who has been living in Singapore for many years, I have seen how food trends here make it and break it. But one food trend has yet (and doesn’t seem even close) to see its curtains close – the salted egg. Hence, many have dubbed salted egg (dishes) a “local delicacy”. And with Singapore’s National Day coming up, Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay’s The Square Restaurant is going for the gold and presenting its first ever Salted Egg Buffet. From now till 30 August 2018,

There's no need to crash Mad Hatter's tea party anymore. From now till 22 July 2018, you can head down to L'Espresso for a Victorian English Afternoon Tea. Nestled in an iconic hotel on Scotts Road that dates back to 1900s, this is the perfect place to treat yourself to an elegant experience. Flying the Union Jack on the highlights of the Victorian Afternoon Tea, L'Espresso allows guests to enjoy classic English favourites by bringing a piece of England to the table. I starte

But if you are up in Genting and you’re looking to break fast with some good traditional Malay cuisine, check out Rajawali. With a hundred over dishes from all parts of Malaysia featured in the Ramadan buffet, Rajawali wanted to bring back the olden days and some invoke good memories with this spread.

I’ve always appreciated a good seafood buffet, or any buffet really. But since seafood buffets are everywhere, what differentiates the one at Novotel’s The Square Restaurant with the other is that they have not just an amazing variety, but also a super fresh spread. From now till 26 May, on Fridays, Saturdays, as well as eve of and public holidays, make a booking with Novotel and try out what they have to offer. Prices start at $39++ for children aged five to 12 years old, $5

Every hotel has its own buffet spread with its own culinary theme. One that really impressed me (and hotel buffets rarely do), was the semi-buffet over at the Luxe in Shangri-La Orchard that features comforting hawker food. We'll be giving away a $100 voucher to 2 lucky winners this weekend! Be sure to check out our instagram page for details on how to enter the contest! But if you were to come here on your own accord (without vouchers), why would you pay a premium hotel buff

Ramadan is coming! Apart from all the preparations for the holy month, I am sure you are thinking, of what to eat when you break your fast. Sunway Resort Cafe’s Ramadan buffet this year should be one of the places on your list. Just look at that spread! What is great about buffets is not just the amount of food on offer, but also that it is great for the whole family to go to enjoy a meal. Sometimes it may be difficult to settle on what cuisine you feel like having or even wh

It is not often you walk into a hotel buffet to find a beautiful spread of Malaysia's local delicacies - especially when the hotel is an international chain. But here at Four Points by Sheraton in Puchong, that is exactly what you can expect, especially now that Ramadan is just round the corner (can you believe we've already entered the second quarter of the year?). Introducing their Selera Nostalgia buffet dinner, which will be available this festive Ramadan season from 27 M

It seems like there have been many seafood buffets recently in local hotels. It must be the season! We have seen the Hokkaido Harvest at Mandarin Orchard and Holiday Inn Atrium’s seafood fest. Now, Hotel Jen@Orchard Gateway is also offering diners a feast with 4 different types of prawns. From 3rd October to 1st December 2016, Makan@Jen is inviting patrons to their Prawn Extravaganza, where you will get to savour prawns from around the world, and of course, cooked in differen
