Sea And Blue Review: New Korean Buffet With Tteokbokki, Sashimi, And Crab

Food at Sea and Blue We went for their weekday lunch buffet ($42++) . There were close to 20 dishes, made up of mostly classics such as beef bulgogi , naengmyeon , and Korean seafood pancakes .

The Korean rice cakes they used were thick and chewy, and went especially well with gochujang base. There were quite a number of veggie toppings, and you can pile your bowl with spicy bulgogi from the same station.

The sashimi slices weren’t as thick as I’d have liked them to be, but I’m not gonna complain about that when there’s an unlimited supply of it before me. Beside the seafood station is a sushi counter with 14 plates of sushi. The types of sushi are on rotation, and some we spotted were salmon sushi , inari sushi , and mini kimbap .

There were a couple of cooked seafood dishes as well, along with classic zi char plates such as chilli crab , salted egg prawns , and sweet and sour pork . While this was definitely not as good as chilli crabs from zi char places, it was enough to hit the spot.

The crabs were surprisingly big and meaty, and there were plenty of claws in the tray. If you’re more of a meat lover, there are some meat options you can get. As someone who isn’t even that big a fan of crab, I was tempted to polish off the entire tray of it.

It was huge, and the cakes were kept in a glass fridge instead of being left out in the open. There were bingsu and waffle stations where you can ask the chef to prepare these desserts for you.

The bingsu, unfortunately, was more like an ice kachang, as the toppings they offer are pretty basic, such as longan and red bean. Perhaps it’s since the restaurant is new and rather costly, but there weren’t many people when we were there on a weekday noon.

While the former is comfier and will give your squad more privacy, it can be inconvenient when you need to fill your plate. There are four private rooms that you can book at a top-up of $30 to $50.

The verdict With over 100 dishes, the lunch spread at Sea & Blue is more than satisfactory.
