Marina Bay's Cheapest Buffet: Indulge in Singapore's Ultimate All-You-Can-Eat with Hotpot Buffet!

ABBEY: We went to Overeat @ Marina One to meet the winners of our October giveaway. There is literally a lot of choices. We started with fresh salmon and tuna (there is no tuna left when I went back the second time) sashimi while the lala, fish and crab balls, pork slices are being boiled in the hotpot. Yes, they do have hotpot. Just grab a pitcher of your preferred soup from the station. 

I also had braised pork which no need of chewing; the fat and meat just disintegrate. Hahaha. I enjoyed peeling a couple of shrimps as well as the crunchy crust of the sweet beef slices along with the fried rice. It’s also worth mentioning the mac and cheese. I need to wait for its refill to get my serving. The chocolate ice cream went well with the coffee. 

You can also have unlimited drinks for additional charge. Visit Overeat and get to see Marina One magnificent building. 

Marina Bay's Cheapest Buffet: Indulge in Singapore's Ultimate All-You-Can-Eat with Hotpot Buffet!

WILL: OverEatsSG has recently gained considerable attention on TikTok and various social media platforms due to its diverse food offerings and an attractive price point of only S$26.80++ per person for Saturday lunch, particularly noteworthy considering its Marina Bay location.

However, the dining experience did not live up to the hype. The hotpot soup base lacked delightfulness and left much to be desired in terms of taste. Frozen fish and overly watery pasta further contributed to the underwhelming experience.

When seeking value in a buffet, it's crucial to focus on items that offer the highest quality. In the case of OverEatsSG, the standout choices are limited to the salmon and tuna sashimi. For those who appreciate these options, OverEatsSG can still be considered a value-for-money dining option.

Eating Well, Feeling Good at Blake's Wings & Steaks in Trinoma QC

ABBEY: We’ve been anticipating our visit to Blake’s Wing & Steaks as our kuya recommended it. We gathered the family there for dinner. No reservations. Our host gave us a big table enough to sit us comfortably. 

Our order included nachos, chicken wings (honey chipotle, Korean Snowing Cheese, truffle parmesan), pesto and carbonara pasta, and their signature pork ribs. I like the honey chipotle as flavor didn’t overpower the taste of the chicken. The pesto pasta can improve if more basil is on it. The pork ribs are fall off the bone however don’t mistake the fat with juiciness. Also it is slathered with the sauce; like the char though. I admit we order too much and have them to go.

The servings are for sharing.

WILL: When chatting with my eldest brother, I asked him for a restaurant recommendation, a place he thought would be good for us to dine in. He suggested Blakes. Initially, we planned to go to the SM North branch, but its location under an escalator made it seem noisy and awkward. So, we opted for the Trinoma branch, which is more serene.

My brother was right; their servings are huge! Haha. Now, how's the taste? It appears that every dish is excessively sweet, especially their Blakes Signature Pork Ribs. I only took two bites and gave up on it. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the flavored chicken and pesto pasta.

Is it recommendable? Definitely worth a try.
