Best buffet dining promotions in Singapore: Carousel, Colony, Edge, Peppermint, The Line buffet prices (July 2025), Lifestyle News
Let's face it — dining out in Singapore isn't cheap. Between GST, service charge, and the sneaky add-ons, a "simple" buffet outing can feel more like a financial commitment than a casual meal. But what if we told you that feasting like a king doesn't have to cost an arm and leg? With the right deals, you can enjoy top-notch spreads without second-guessing your life choices. Whether you're planning a special occasion or just want to demolish a mountain of prawns on a random Tuesday, we've gathered the best buffet promotions in town for 2025. Wallet-friendly, belly-filling, and 100 per cent worth it. 1. 9 best hotel international buffets (2025 prices) Check out the list below to get up to speed with the latest buffet prices before your next big gathering with your foodie friends or family. Generally, weekend prices are higher than weekday ones, and dinner costs more than lunch. Here are the adult prices for lunch and dinner buffets on weekdays and weekends: Buffet prices for adults Hotel and international buffets Weekday lunch Weekday dinner Weekend lunch Weekend dinner Carousel, Royal Plaza on Scotts (H) $68++ $88++ $78++ $98++ Colony, Ritz-Carlton Hotel $74++ $96++ $78++ (Sat) / From $228++ (Sun brunch) $118++ (Sat) / $96++ (Sun) Edge, Pan Pacific Hotel $72++ $95++ $80++ (Sat) / $118++ (Sun) $110++ (Sat)/ $95++ (Sun) Peppermint, ParkRoyal Collection Marina Bay (H) $72++ $98++ $82++ $112++ The Line, Shangri-La Hotel $68++ $118++ $68++ (Sat) / $118++ (Sun) $98++ Landmark (1-for-1), Village Hotel Bugis (H) $85.50++ $94.90++ $88.90++ $102.90++ Oscar's, Conrad Centennial Singapore $68++ From $78++ $68++ From $96++ Rise, Marina Bay Sands $72++ $98++ $92++ (Sat) / $102++ (Sun) $112++ (Sat) / $98 (Sun) 21 on Rajah, Aloft Singapore Novena (H) $56++ $68++ $68++ $78++ Buffet prices above exclude alcoholic beverages, and are before GST and service charge. (H) = Halal-certified While most of these restaurants define weekdays as Monday to Friday and weekends as Saturday and Sunday, there are several exceptions: Colony, Edge, The Line, Oscar's, Rise. Kinda confusing, we know, but we've broken it down for you in this article. To get the deets or to find out the child pricing, just use the hyperlinks above to jump to their respective sections below! Also, disclaimer: We referred to published prices to compile this list, expanding below on the caveats (e.g. valid only on certain days, timings, etc) we could find. However, we are only human. To be extra sure, please give the hotel/restaurant a call to confirm the prices and validity before heading down — just in case we missed anything, or if any terms and conditions have been amended since the time of writing. 2. Carousel buffet at Royal Plaza on Scotts ($68++ to $98++) Located in Orchard at the Royal Plaza on Scotts, Carousel's halal-certified international buffet dishes up seafood, Japanese salmon and tuna sashimi, oysters, mud crabs, tiger prawns, snow crab, Korean dishes, tapas, local dishes, and more. Here are the standard buffet prices at Carousel: Weekdays Weekend Carousel buffet Adult Child Adult Child Breakfast (6.30 am – 10 am) $30++ $15++ $30++ $15++ Lunch (12 – 2 pm) $68++ $34++ $78++ $39++ High tea* (3 – 5 pm) – – $58++ $29++ Dinner (6 – 9.30 pm) $88++ $44++ $98++ $49++ * Carousel's High Tea buffet is only available on weekends. In commemoration of SAF Day and to celebrate the contributions of civil servants, Carousel is offering a promotion of 50 per cent off the second diner for Safra members and servicemen from now until Aug 31, 2025. Carousel Phone: +65 6219 3780 Address: Royal Plaza on Scotts, Lobby Level, 25 Scotts Road, Singapore 228220 3. Colony buffet at Ritz-Carlton Hotel ($74++ to $998++) [embed] Ritz-Carlton Hotel's Colony restaurant is best known for their afternoon high tea sets. The international buffet dinner was commonly lauded as one of the best luxury buffets in town, and commanded long queues in the past. On Sundays, Colony hosts their Vintage Champagne Brunch, a lavish affair with unlimited champagne that starts at $228++ and can go up to $998++ for adults. And don't forget GST and service charge. *gulp* But before you write Colony off as 100 per cent unattainable with your current pay check, check out their weekday lunch spread instead. For those of us whose pockets don't go as deep, their weekday lunch buffet costs a much friendlier $74++. Expect fresh seafood, sashimi, sushi, local Singaporean fare, grill and rotisserie cuts, dim sum, tandoor selections, and an assortment of desserts to end on a sweet note. The dinner buffet menu is pretty similar, although you get a few more dishes in the spread such as freshly shucked oysters. On Fridays and Saturdays, dinners at Colony get a seafood spin with dishes like grilled Boston lobster, Spanish black mussel, and grilled octopus leg. Colony buffet prices Adult Child Lunch (Mon – Fri) $74++ $37++ (6-12 years old) Lunch (Sat) $78++ $39++ (6-12 years old) Vintage Champagne Brunch (Sun) $228++ / $698++ / $998++ $57++ (3-5 years old) / $114++ (6-12 years old) Dinner (Sun – Thu) $96++ $48++ (6-12 years old) Seafood dinner (Fri – Sat) $118++ $59++ (6-12 years old) Lunch: 12pm – 2.30pm; dinner: 6.30pm – 10.30pm; Sunday brunch: 12pm – 3.30pm.

Edge buffet at Pan Pacific Hotel ($72++ to $138++) [embed] Located on Level 3 of Pan Pacific Hotel, Edge's sprawling international buffet holds up to 316 guests at once. The buffet menu is pretty extensive as well, with all the usuals: seafood, sashimi, local dishes, Cantonese roast dishes, plant-based salads, hummus and kebabs, cheeses, hams, sausages, and desserts. Plus, from what we see, Edge's buffet menu is perhaps one of the most vegetarian-friendly menus around town, with mains like roasted cauliflower, eggplant stew, carrot soup, and vegetarian curries and biryani. If you've done a staycation at Pan Pacific Hotel over the past two years and became a member of Pan Pacific Privileges, you get to enjoy 10 per cent off (Premium members) and 15 per cent off (Prestige members) off your bill.

Peppermint buffet at ParkRoyal Collection Marina Bay ($72++ to $138++) [embed] Peppermint is a swanky buffet spot with pretty Instagram-worthy capsule seats nestled in ParkRoyal Collection Marina Bay. Like its predecessor AquaMarine, Peppermint is also halal-certified. At Peppermint, expect an international buffet with usuals such as seafoods, sashimi, bread, roast meats and seafood, but also special chef creations. Don't forget to do some exploring and step out onto their terrace, which is home to their Urban Farm. There, Peppermint grows over 60 varieties of herbs, edible flowers and vegetables that they use in their food and drinks. Here are the Peppermint international buffet prices: Peppermint buffet prices Adult Child Weekday Lunch (Mon – Thu, 12 – 2.30 pm) $72++ $36++ Weekend Lunch (Fri – Sun, 12 – 3.30 pm) $82++ $41++ Weekday Dinner (Mon – Thu, 6.30 – 10 pm) $98++ $49++ Weekend Dinner (Fri – Sun, 6.30 – 10 pm) $112++ $56++ Child pricing applies to children aged 6 to 12 years old.

The Line buffet at Shangri-La Hotel ($68++ to $168++) [embed] The holy grail of all international buffets in Singapore is The Line at Shangri-La Hotel. Pre-Covid, you'd have to book your spot a month or so in advance to secure yourself a slot. Today, The Line isn't that coveted anymore. But it still has a fairly good reputation for its buffet spreads. The Line features different buffet specialties on different nights. For example, Thursday dinners are their Seafood Extravaganza nights with Boston Lobster, Snow Crab, and Half Shell Scallop on ice. Oyster lovers, take notes: Thursday nights at The Line also come with an oyster feast of Depp Fried Oyster and Grilled Oyster with either XO Sauce or Salted Egg Bechamel and Cheese .

Landmark 1-for-1 buffet at Village Hotel Bugis ($85.90++ to $102.90++) Need a hotel setting and an international buffet menu to impress your date…but on a budget? At Village Hotel Bugis, Landmark's 1-for-1 buffet from $85.90++ ($103 nett) for two pax is your best bet. Wait, what is Village Hotel Bugis even? It's that greyish looking building that you always pass by en route to Haji Lane, with escalators leading up to a dingy shopping arcade full of vintage tailor and Chinese cheongsam shops. Yup, your date won't be the most impressed with the walk there… so maybe you'd want to take a Grab or any other ride-hailing service directly to the hotel's drop off point. Landmark buffet offers three menus, namely Menu A, B, and C, and they're all halal-certified and all applicable for the permanent 1-1 buffet deals Landmark has. The only downside is that the spreads aren't quite as extensive as the others on this list. But then again, neither are their prices as high, so we can't really complain. Landmark buffet prices Adults Children (4 – 8 years old) 1-1 weekday lunch (Mon – Fri) $85.90++ ($103 nett) $15++ ($17.98 nett) 1-1 weekend lunch (Sat – Sun, PH, eve of PH) $88.90++ ($106.60 nett) 1-1 weekday dinner (Mon – Thu) $94.90++ ($113.80 nett) 1-1 weekend dinner (Fri – Sun, PH, eve of PH) $102.90++ ($123.40 nett) Lunch: 12 – 2.30pm / Dinner: 6.30 – 10pm Landmark Phone: +65 629 97786 WhatsApp: +65 8869 9114 Email: enquiry@ Address: 390 Victoria Street, #05-01 Singapore 188061 8.

Their buffet comes with both a sumptuous buffet spread as well as live stations, such as a noodle bar and Asian and Western stations. That doesn't mean they skimp on the free-flow buffet items; you can expect the usual international buffet culprits such as lobsters and oysters on ice, sashimi, salads, and dishes from Asia and the West. Oscar's offers two buffet dining options: weekday lunch (12 - 2.30pm) and daily dinner (6 - 10.30pm). Here are their buffet prices: Oscar's festive buffet prices Adults Children (6 – 12 years old) Weekday lunch (Mon – Sun) $68++ $34++ Dinner (Sun – Tue / Wed – Sat) $78++ / $96++ $39++ / $48++ If you're a Hilton Honours member, you enjoy discounted rates at Oscar's buffets: Base & Silver: 10 per cent off Gold & Diamond: 25 per cent off Oscar is also running an SG60 special, featuring a lunch buffet from June 23 to Aug 21, 2025, and a dinner special from Aug 4 to 9, 2025.

In first meeting of MCD's Standing Committee, 25 proposals get nod
Poor sanitation, dog menace, monsoon preparedness, and status of desilting were among the few issues discussed on Friday at the first meeting of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi's (MCD) Standing Committee, a body set up after a delay of two-and-a-half years. The delay caused due to a tussle between AAP and BJP had ended with the appointment of BJP councillor Satya Sharma as chairperson on June 12. Every project worth over Rs 5 crore needs to be passed by this committee. At the meeting on Friday, Sharma announced that the deadline for availing a 10% rebate on property tax has been extended till July 31. Over 25 items on the agenda were passed at the meeting, including the purchase of Diflubenzuron 25% WP, used to kill mosquito larvae in its initial stage. This is in line with the initiative taken up by MCD's Public Health department to prevent and control of vector-borne diseases ahead of the monsoon. Also passed were items related to the revision of the layout plan of DDU Marg, as well as Delhi University colleges, including Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) and St Stephen's College. The proposal for SRCC included the construction of a new academic block and the addition of two floors for a girls' hostel. The approval for this proposal had been pending since 2012. For St Stephen's College, the approved proposal included the addition of a new academic block, a hostel block, staff quarters, and an auditorium block. A proposal in this regard had been pending for the last 10 years. The meeting also approved the extension of contract for private security services, sanitation workers, and housekeeping staff at MCD-run hospitals such as Kasturba Hospital, Rajan Babu Institute of Pulmonary Medicine and Tuberculosis and Maharishi Valmiki Infectious Diseases Hospital. Leader of Opposition, AAP councillor Ankush Narang, meanwhile, raised the issue of poor sanitation in Central, West, and South zones, questioning the budget sanctioned to each councillor. At the meeting, councillors sought status and data on drains desilted ahead of monsoon, open drains, JJ Colony clusters, encroachments, illegal parking, and vacant posts of sanitation workers, among others. A civic body official said, 'Authorities have hastened the process of desilting. Till now, 1.56 lakh metric tonne of silt has been removed, while 37,000 small drains have been desilted against the 40,000 target.'

Lost for seven years, Josh Holloway is back in driver's seat in Duster
Published May 29, 2025 • Last updated 0 minutes ago • 8 minute read "Duster" star Josh Holloway is headlining a series for the first time since "Colony" ended in 2018.

Abrams, and he was offering a route out of the figurative desert – by way of a literal one. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

Create Account The third and final season of the Holloway-starring series 'Colony' had aired more than a year earlier. Freshly 50, Holloway accepted that the dystopian drama was probably his last leading-man gig. If the offer came to play, say, a leading man's father? He'd be there. But that wasn't happening, either. 'My agents were like, 'Go take a vacation. You're not going to work,'' recalls Holloway, best known for playing the complicated con man Sawyer on 'Lost.' 'And I didn't for a long time.' Holloway embraced life as a stay-at-home dad while spending his spare time dirt biking, fly-fishing, meditating and steering his Airstream all over. He also honed his guitar skills and learned the piano. On the work front, Holloway dabbled in writing and pitched a reality show about ranch bunkhouses. (It didn't happen.) This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. So when 'Lost' co-creator Abrams rang out of the blue and began hinting at a job offer, Holloway says, he agreed before hearing the pitch. As Abrams subsequently outlined an image from the 1972-set crime series 'Duster' – a muscle car races to a phone in the desert, and out pops Holloway to answer the call – it dawned on the actor that one of Hollywood's most influential creatives was, in fact, shaping a show around him. 'At this age,' Holloway says, 'I really did not expect something like that.' But that didn't mean the lean years were over. Green lit by HBO Max during the pandemic, the pilot didn't shoot until 2021. That pilot was shelved amid the Warner Bros. Discovery merger, then reshot two years later. And the first season was mid-production in 2023 when the Hollywood strikes halted filming for the better part of a year. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

By the time 'Duster' premiered in May on Max, seven years had passed since Holloway last headlined a series. In the meantime, the 55-year-old's only jobs have been a recurring role as a duplicitous hedge fund manager on 'Yellowstone' and one episode of the anthology 'Amazing Stories.' 'With actors, if you don't see them for a while, you think that they're hiding in a closet or something,' his 'Duster' co-star Keith David says. 'People work. You don't see them, but they do work. So it's really wonderful to see him in a leading part. He's the kind of guy who can carry that.' Rachel Hilson plays an FBI agent who recruits Holloway's Jim Ellis as an informant. Photo by Ursula Coyote/Max Sure enough, Holloway still seizes the screen as if he never left it. As Jim Ellis, the rakish driver for a Southwestern organized crime kingpin (David) and an informant for an upstart FBI agent (Rachel Hilson), Holloway is parked right in his wheelhouse. With a sigh or a smile, Jim shakes off life-and-death developments as another day at the office. His shoulder-length locks flow in the desert breeze. Sarcastic quips roll off his tongue, and he throws around nicknames in decidedly Sawyer-like fashion. Yet there's torment and tenderness behind eyes that'll smolder one moment and flicker with sorrow the next. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. It's a classic performance from a dying breed of actor: the career television star. Co-created by Abrams and LaToya Morgan, 'Duster' is a throwback to a forgone era of episodic storytelling, built around charismatic characters and pulpy thrills rather than A-list star power and prestige TV sheen. Driving it all is Holloway, a slick performer with an affinity for fueling his hard-knock characters with hard-knock life experience. 'He's added this quality of having lived a complicated life that is now embedded in his performance, along with his incredible good looks and his soulfulness and his charm,' says Carlton Cuse, a showrunner on 'Lost' and the co-creator of 'Colony.' 'It's just another weapon in his actor's arsenal.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. If Holloway resents the myriad movie stars and Oscar winners who have found refuge on the small screen over the past decade – making it all the harder for TV veterans to book rich roles – he hides it well. 'It makes sense to me,' he muses, 'just because that's where the creativity went. I mean, it's the golden age of TV.' 'I'm super sappy and goofy, but people have an image of me as, like, this cool guy,' Holloway says. 'I can lean into that cliché, but who I am is actually the other guy.' Photo by James Van Evers/Max Toning down the swagger and ramping up the silliness during a mid-May video chat from a New York hotel, the bespectacled actor is an easy laugh with a grin that persists through touchy topics. Far from tech savvy, he cautions people that he leaves his phone at home and might take 48 hours to respond to a text. ('It drives my friends and family crazy,' he concedes. 'I'm not of this era.') Raising an 11-year-old son and 16-year-old daughter with his wife, Yessica, in Southern California, he gleefully rattles off his responsibilities in the Holloway household – 'the Uber service, the cook, the maid, the freaking laundry guy' – and asserts that being a present father is his most cherished role. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'I'm super sappy and goofy, but people have an image of me as, like, this cool guy,' Holloway says. 'I can lean into that cliché, but who I am is actually the other guy.' His 'Duster' co-star Hilson confirms as much. 'If you meet Josh, you'll probably within the first five minutes hear him talk about his kids and his wife,' she says. 'That's just who he is. I think we find ourselves drawn to this edgy character because he just brings to it this natural softness.' Holloway's Jim has been a mafia wheelman for decades when we meet him in 'Duster,' whose eight-episode first season runs through July 3. Bloody and breezy, raunchy and groovy – the series traverses tones while serving as a 1970s travelogue with pit stops involving Elvis Presley, Howard Hughes, Watergate and other period-appropriate touchstones. Whether he's chauffeuring goons, procuring blackmail material or trafficking illicit goods, Jim rarely sheds his devil-may-care mantra. But the character remains haunted by his brother's death years earlier and the discovery that their boss may have been responsible for the hit. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'Even though he is obviously an incredibly handsome guy, there is a kind of sadness and anger under the wry and comedic surface,' Abrams says over email. '[Jim] has to be carefree and cool and funny and daring, but he also needs to be broken: someone who stopped evolving at a certain point, someone who is being challenged to wake up, reflect and be held accountable in his life.' Despite that heavy backstory, Holloway assures that playing Jim is mostly a blast – starting with the stunts. After attending Rick Seaman's stunt-driving school, Holloway shifted to lessons with driver Chris Peterson and learned 'every stunt in the book.' Asked whether he's taken those skills out in public, Holloways chuckles. 'I'd be doing that every day,' he says, 'but the computers are, like, anti-skid and this and that, and they just won't let you do it.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Then there's the opportunity to deploy his innate allure. Take a scene in 'Duster' in which Jim heads to a hospital and asks for the status of a gravely wounded patient he would rather not see pull through. Told by a female employee that such information is confidential, Jim flicks his hair, tilts his head and coolly replies, 'Then just give it to me confidentially.' Informed the man's outlook is dire, Jim smirks. 'Darling,' he says, 'you just made my day.' It's an ominous scene that, in Holloway's hands, plays as effortlessly suave. 'I grew up in a time where if you wanted to date, you had to flirt,' he explains through sheepish laughter. 'It wasn't on a gadget. You had to go out there and ask out girls and have some game.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. As showrunner Morgan puts it, Holloway constantly 'borrows from himself' on screen. Referencing Steve McQueen in 'Bullitt' and Walter Matthau in 'The Bad News Bears,' Morgan says she and Abrams leaned into Holloway's inherent appeal when writing Jim. 'We thought about characters that you want to spend a lot of time with,' Morgan says. 'Josh just brings that warmth.' Holloway acknowledges that every character he plays is a color from his kaleidoscopic persona. Raised in rural Georgia, he tried a slew of professions – construction, restaurateuring and modeling, among them – before giving acting a whirl. When he took a class from Corey Allen and the 'Rebel Without a Cause' actor preached the perks of channeling such experiences on screen, Holloway lit up. 'I'd just had a lot of life experience already to draw on,' he says. 'That's what it was: I want to do everything, so I'm an actor.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Although 'Lost's' Sawyer was deemed one of the show's least popular characters in audience testing, Cuse says the actor's deep-seated pathos led the writers to reimagine him as a reluctant hero. By the time the mystery-box series concluded in 2010, Sawyer was a fan favourite. 'That was a really satisfying arc,' Cuse says, 'that was only made possible because of what Josh had inside.' Riding the wave of 'Lost's' success, Holloway turned down a slew of network TV procedurals in hopes that a movie career would take off. After booking minor roles in the 2011 blockbuster 'Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol,' the 2013 thriller 'Paranoia' and the 2014 action flick 'Sabotage,' Holloway grew impatient with big-budget film shoots and longed for television's expediency. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'I always had two or three jobs at once since I was 11 years old,' Holloway says. 'I did a couple of movies, and I was so bored because you'd sit around so long. On TV, you just go to your trailer to change and that is it – you're back on set, and they're busting your butt.' That's not to say Holloway is done with film: He recently shot supporting roles in the musical 'Reimagined' and the crime drama 'He Bled Neon' and will topline an indie adaptation of the Louis L'Amour novel 'Flint' that shoots this summer. But after spending a decade between movie gigs, Holloway acknowledges that he's built more for the TV grind than the big-screen machine. After biding his time before 'Duster,' Holloway is relishing one more spin in the driver's seat. 'I'm a workhorse,' he says with a shrug. 'That's my character.'
