To celebrate Singapore's National Day month, Edge at Pan Pacific Singapore is running a special buffet theme titled " Flavours of the Lion City: A Culinary Expedition Through Singapore " until 9 August 2024. Paying homage to the melting pot of cultures that define Singapore, Executive Chef Andy Oh and his team have curated a line-up of creations and live-action stations. It features not only signature local delicacies but also dishes reflecting our diverse cultural influences, including Singaporean, Chinese, Malay, Indian, Japanese, Thai, and Western specialities, as well as an extensive selection of fresh seafood offerings. Braised Soya Duck and Peanut with Yam Rice, Nyonya Chap Chye The array of local gems is extensive. One highlight that I kept returning to was the Braised Soya Duck and Peanut with Yam Rice . The braised duck was succulent, accompanied by the most delicious yam rice I have ever had. The yam cubes in the rice provided a wonderful flavour and texture, while the umami-packed rice was generous with bits and pieces of mushrooms and dried shrimp. The braised peanuts and tau kwa (firm tofu) didn't disappoint either. The Nyonya Chap Chye was another delight, being deliciously soft and flavourful. Peppery Teochew Bak Kut Teh Another standout was the Peppery Teochew Bak Kut Teh . The robust peppery soup paired perfectly with tender pork ribs, and the crispy youtiao (fried dough sticks) added a satisfying crunch. I enjoyed it with the yam rice for an even more satisfying experience. Bak Chor Mee It has been a while since I last had good Bak Chor Mee , but this one sealed the deal with its springy noodles, doused in a mouthwatering, vinegary, and tomatoey sauce, loaded with minced meat, tender pork slices, and mushroom. Wok Fried Hokkien Mee Pan Fried Oyster Omelette The Pan Fried Oyster Omelette and Wok Fried Hokkien Mee were skillfully executed. The oyster omelette was indulgent with plump oysters and crispy edges, while the Hokkien mee was loaded with succulent seafood and pork belly, all infused with a flavorful stock. If you are lucky, you might even catch the chef in action. Teochew Steamed Local-farmed Golden Pomfret Rarely available in buffets, the Teochew Steamed Local-Farmed Golden Pomfret was a notable item. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the mouthwatering piquant broth set my appetite up for more. Braised Kurobuta Pork Belly with Lotus Bun The daily pork belly bun has also been amped up with Braised Kurobuta Pork Belly , served with a Lotus Bun. It is another special treat not to be missed. Singapore Laksa with Baby Lobster And, of course, not to forget the quintessential Singapore Laksa , jazzed up with Baby Lobster. While the lobster was too tiny to provide much meat, the laksa itself was tasty on its own. Salt Baked Fresh Mud Crab Salt Baked Fresh Mud Crab is apparently pretty popular among diners. It is served with fried mantou and a robust Chili Crab Sauce, as well as Creamy Salted Egg Yolk gravy. Jeera Rice Marinated Chicken Satay, Mutton Satay, Beef Satay Other local delicacies include a colourful spread of Indian cuisine, offering Jeera Rice , Butter Chicken, Naan, etc., and Malay cuisine, featuring our favourite Satays . Satisfying meat lovers is the Churrasco Craving station that offers Roasted US Beef Tomahawk alongside other roasts. The Fresh Seafood station beams with Boston Lobster, Tiger Prawn, White Clam, Half Shell Scallop, Sea Conch, Black Mussel, Crawfish and Freshly Shucked Seasonal Oysters. Chempedak Cake Deep-fried Chempedak Ball The dessert station is also specially decorated. It includes golden Deep-fried Durian, Banana , and Chempedak Balls , as well as the National Day signature Chempedak Cake , Durian Pengat, Milo Dinosaur Panna Cotta, Lychee Bandung Compote Trifle, Kopi O Cake, Onde Lamington, Pulut Hitam Soup, and much more.
