Melt Café Dinner Crustacean and BBQ Buffet at Mandarin Oriental, Singapore FREE S$98++ BUFFET Review

ABBEY: We have our plans laid out for my natal day. But Melt Cafe (Mandarin Oriental) sent me a mail with greetings and a gift; 1 for 1 dining for lunch or dinner. So I said let’s go. Good decision! It’s raining lobsters there. A seafood platter (lobster, prawns, mussels) will be served upon your sitting. That’s just the beginning. Move over allergies. I even ordered a plate of lobsters only and make my own lobster roll with fried mantou, butter and garlic. Hahaha.

I went multiple times to the grill station for beef, scallops and oysters to satisfy my char cravings. Then I moved to the hot foods like chicken and vegatable tandoori with basmati rice and braised pork. For dessert, I love the combination of vanilla and chocolate ice creams; and also a plateful of watermelon. I brought home my complimentary birthday cake. There’s no room for it. Haha. 

WILL: Abbey was blessed by The Dining Society on his birthday month. He teceived an email that he get a FREE buffet of his choice (lunch or dinner) at Melt Cafe located at Mandarin Oriental Singapore.

We already had a dinner buffet at Melt Cafe but the difference for this is that now it is a crustaceans like lobsters are free flow + there’s a barbecue just outside the cafe. Of course I enjoyed the meal than before. You can definitely know that lobster and other seafoods are fresh because it doesn’t leave any unappetizing taste in your mouth. Because of COVID-19 there are people behind the counters to hand you the food. They are very attentive and surprisingly quite cheerful in giving your plate of food. It is a happy and tummy-filling day not only for the birthday boy but also for me. Hehe.

Thanks Melt Cafe and The Dining Society for making my husband’s birthday extraordinary!

Mandarin Oriental Singapore's - MELT CAFÉ (Dinner Buffet)

ABBEY: I read that Melt Café offers one of the best buffet in Singapore and I want to try it. Wilma booked a reservation for three (Wilma, and the two November birthday celebrators; me and Chat) and went to Mandarin Oriental last December 5. 

We were ushered to a table and we waited for the buffet to open. A couple of minutes later we were told that we can start. 

The place was huge and homey. I didn't even know where to start taking snaps of the vast array of food. They have variety of cuisines; Japanese, Western, Indian, and local delights. I had plates of sushi and sashimi as well as tandoori (chicken and fish). I matched them with papadum, rice and naan. 

Their ravioli is bursting with cheese and really goes well with red sauce with beef. I also had slices of turkey and ham and some cheese. Desserts are fantastic. 

Make sure to get that slice of Melt Cafe chocolate cake before it is gone. It's pure chocolate heaven. I tried their homemade frozen yogurt, crinkles, and bon bons. Our experience is great. 

Aside from a 15% off the bill, we were given a birthday cake and an excellent service by Angela. Thanks Melt Café.

WILL: We celebrate anything and everything. This makes our mind and soul to be grateful in everything we are achieving and welcoming more blessings to come. And to that, we booked Melt Cafe for 3pax, this is to share our accomplishments with out friend Chat. 

Abbey's birthday/graduation and Chat's natal day is a must to celebrate for me. Those are days when Almighty decided to put this lovely souls to accompany me in this beautiful journey of life. (Kakaiyak!) 

Without further words, Melt Cafe is one of the yummiest buffet we have ever went to. It is not your ordinary international buffet. There is a huge variety of food that you cannot found on other restaurants. Like what? Chocolate crinkles, ravioli, the Melt Cafe Cake (ahhm, yup you cannot find this in other place haha), lamb chop, the lobster that we indulged in non-stop and the very caring attendant of our table, Ms. Angela. Our table attendant relentlessly serving us and non-stop checking on us if we are enjoying our food. She frowns whenever there is no plate in front of us. Haha. 

Ms. Angela, also recommends us to be a member of Mandarin Orientals's Dining Society. This is for us to get a huge discount on that dinner buffet that night. We got an automatic 15% off when we signed online the registration form. Her manager (I forgot the name. Sorry) welcomed us with warm "hello". 

No doubt why people keep on recommending this restaurant. You have huge variety of food to indulge and a team that welcomes and made you feel that you are "home". 

Thanks Melt Café. Will surely be on our top list of buffets. :)
