Edge Review: Best Sunday Brunch Buffet In Singapore With Donuts, Foie Gras & Plenty Of Seafood

That was four years ago when I first began my career as a food writer. My pleb taste buds went on overdrive, and I was amazed by how a hotel buffet could marry such high quality and quantity of dishes to perfection . I went back again this year as they revamped their entire menu, expecting to be less impressed but that was far from the truth.

Food at Edge Sunday Brunch Buffet $128++ might sound a bit much for a meal, but with 180 high-quality dishes to feast on, disappointment won’t be on the menu here. In fact, I anticipated my buffet companion to say the age-old line “The food is good, but I won’t pay for it.” Instead, I was surprised when she kept exclaiming throughout the meal that she will bring her mom here. Salads are a great way to start your meal, and Edge shake things up at their salad bar with heirloom tomatoes and six types of burrata flavours, including truffle and wine!

Even the most novice buffet-goer will know that one of the first few stations to whack is the Seafood On Ice. Given how much praise I gave Edge at the start, it goes without explaining that all the seafood displayed were as fresh as they could get, with each boasting sweet, juicy flesh.

Aside from the usual snow crabs, prawns, and Boston lobsters, you will find a selection of oysters. The beauty about Edge is that they always have a one-up against regular buffets. My favourite thing about this Sunday brunch buffet are the la minute dishes that get served to your table; you won’t need to stand around waiting for your food.

You just need to pass the wooden sticks to the chef and you’re all set. The must-have dish to order is the Pan Seared “Tograshi Foie Gras” with passion fruit and apple chutney topped on a brioche bun.

A good paella is defined by the socarrat, which is essentially the caramelised crust of rice that sticks to the pan. While the paella at Edge did not make the mark of a good paella, the rice still absorbed all the briny and sweet seafood goodness from the prawns, clams, and mussels.

There is also plenty of Asian food at Edge, from local grub to Indian fare, but never have I ever seen a Thai-food lineup at a buffet. There are nine flavours in total, namely chocolate, raspberry, lemon, passion fruit, orange, coffee, Earl Grey, vanilla, and caramel—all of which were not saccharine sweet. My personal favourite was the passion fruit and the Earl Grey, with its refreshing savour and floral notes respectively.

I suggest grabbing a seat away from the floor-to-ceiling windows, as the afternoon sun can be quite harsh from 12pm to 1pm. As my dining partner says, “You want to sun tan then you sit there.” The verdict Edge’s Sunday brunch buffet has since been revamped since I first visited it four years ago, but it still manages to be my favourite buffet in Singapore. I’m not even adding “one of” in this statement, as nothing has come close to the quality and variety of the spread.
