Flavours of the Lion City Review

Good things taste better when shared. My father and brother has always enjoyed the tales of Edge at Pan Pacific. They went for the ‘Flavours of the Lion City’ and was utterly impressed with the variety of food available. If you are like my brother and have a ferocious appetite, buffets are the most value for money way to go. You can fill yourself with quality food till you are full. 

For my brother, his favorite is the laksa, chilli crab and the sweet riceball dessert. For my father, he enjoyed the Asian delights such as the hot soup, promfets and the fresh seafood. Specials of the 'Flavours of the Lion City’ include the charcoal-barbecued live station showcases Marinated Giant Squid, Local-farmed Vannamei Prawn!

Save your tummy taste for their desserts. Nostalgic flavours, such as Edge’s Signature Durian Pandan Cake and Chempedak Cake are the typical must-have. But don't miss the playful creations, such as Milo Pani Puri,  Chocolate Chilli Padi Tartlet, Coconut Rock Melon Tart, Horlicks Bread, Butter Pudding and Ondeh-ondeh Ice Cream. Our family joke is that you need to starve for days before and after so that you can enjoy the full suite of delights!

If you don't have plans for the long weekends yet, buffet can be an option in your list. ‘Flavours of the Lion City’ at Edge from 10 July until 9 August 2026, available daily. Weekday lunch is extremely affordable, perfect for team lunches.

Edge - Best Buffet in Town

Back at Edge again for their "sea of flavours" cos I just can't get enough of them. This is one buffet place that I keep getting cravings for. I love their variety and how there is something for everyone. I also like how they continuously improve. Their oriental soup used to be very average, but now it is something I go for when I am there. 

Like my fellow Singaporeans, I decided to "attack" the seafood table. My favourite is always the snow crab. They are always generous with the pincers and each come with succulent chunks of meat. Diners usually swipe off a full plate for their table. Try to be there when they refill it. My husband went for the crabs, it was cooked in various gravy. Joy for the tastebuds!

Dishes to look out for this time round includes the Lobster Bisque with Cognac, House-smoked Pork Belly and 12-hour Braised Tajima Wagyu Beef Short Rib. I was super surprised to see Frog Leg being served too. Must try is the Mayura Station Chocolate-fed Wagyu Beef with Ponzu and Braised Leek! For the adults, the selection this time round was insanely awesome! I ate so much, I didn't have any room left for sashimi!

During our 3-hours long meal (yup that's how long we stayed), we even had mini quizzes and htht within ourselves. The kids didn't even watch any shows. I knew that was how engaged they were. After our chat breaks, we continued on with the desserts - the kids went for their favourite ice-cream and chocolate fondue. If you have limited capacity, skip their cakes cos they are not as outstanding as the rest. 

Best buffet in town, it just never disappoints. A perfect place for diners (especially big families) to celebrate any special occasions. For those who want to try "sea of flavours", it is here until 21 June 2026 (Fridays to Sundays from 6pm to 10pm)

$128++ per adult | Inclusive of free flow of soft drinks

$64++ per child (6 to 12 years old) | Inclusive of free flow of soft drinks

Top up an additional $78++ for a bucket of five bottles of The Portman Lager

Edge - Surf and Turf

Probably the best buffet theme we have had at Edge, I absolutely love the offerings for 'Surf and Turf', featuring delicacies both from the land and sea. Call me bias, but I adore the seafood selection more. Some of my favourites include the charcoal-barbecued giant squid and Jumbo white clam in Hakka Sweet Wine Broth. 

My usual favourites were also served i.e. Sashimi, roasted pork, snow crab etc. My only problem was that I enjoyed so much food that I couldn't find space for seconds. Also for me who was relatively familiar with Edge's usual offerings, I had quite a bit of fun exploring old spaces to find new dishes. 

Sorry for the massive amount of food photos, I just had so much fun eating and snapping. Another problem from over-stuffing was that you need to find food to break the taste. I particularly love the oriental soups and drank a few for this purpose. To be rather frank, I never remembered this to be Edge's strong suite. I was pleasantly surprised to find how good their soups are now. 

For those who love meats, don't miss the charcoal-barbecued Marinated Lamb T-Bone! It was so, so good. While we were there, the whole Edge was packed with no seats for walk-ins. So be sure to reserve early. Best of all, free flow of soft drinks for all. Only until 29 Mar (Fri to Sun) for dinner (6pm to 10pm), don't miss it! This is probably the most worth buffet to date.

Easter Sunday Brunch at Edge

You guys may know that Halloween is my kids' favourite. But given how we were celebrating Easter this year, I think Easter has just be a close second now. On Easter weekend itself, we also went to the Easter Buffet at Edge. I have heard from many people if you are looking for a place that is not just an egg hunt but involves a bit of feasting, this is the place to be. 

And after going, I have to say I pretty much agree. By now, you can pretty much tell I have been to Edge countless of time. But every time, the effort to surpass is always there. There were so many little Easter deco around. I didn't used to be one that was of a "Easter person", but just being there alone made me felt ready to enjoy the festivities. 

The kids, as usual, enjoyed their moments there. This year, an egg hunt, crafts, and magic show were organised for them, so it kept them quite well occupied. There was a good amount of breather for the husband and I to sit down, catch a breathe and just take in the moment. The whole place was bustling, but I thought the staff did an excellent job to manage the crowd. 

The Egg Hunt was staggered, so at any one time, not every kid was dashing around. For parents with younger children (like me), I felt safer to let them venture a bit on their own when it was their turn. The staff was also really helpful to direct them to the eggs. I thought it was nice that every kid came back finding something and feeling like a winner. I have even videos of my kids dancing around in joy. 

Even the magician was pretty good - engaging and not too lame. Pardon me, but some magicians really crack the worse jokes. But I thought this one stuck a good balance. 

Easter Sunday Brunch (20 April 2025 | 12:00pm to 3:30pm)

• $238 per adult | Inclusive of free flow of Tattinger Brut Réserve Champagne, Tiger Beer, House Red Wine, House White Wine, a selection of House Spirits, and House-made Cocktails, including Bunny Hop Martini, Bloody Mary, chilled juices and soft drinks.
• $158 per adult | Inclusive of free flow of soft drinks
• $79 per child (6 to 12 years old) | Inclusive of free flow of soft drinks

If you are like me and have kids under 6 years old, your probably just got the best of both worlds. Ending the post with more photos of my meal, because it was such a great one!

Sunday Brunch - Kids Play Area is back

Back at the Sunday Brunch of the Edge because of the play area for the kids. Parents will understand how it important that is. Finally, I could leave them inside and will have a chance to roam freely, at to my heart's delight. This time round, I even found more goodies (when I thought I have tried everything). A less distracted mind really allows you to notice more

This time round, there was a balloon sculptor and no face painting. When the balloon sculptor was not  roaming around to make the children happy, she would be hanging around in the play room helping to keep a watchful eye on the kids. Generally, there was not much change to the playroom since our last visit. There were the tents, cushions and a dessert table which the children loved. 

Top new foods that we would recommend this time round includes:

• The first pic on the first collage - Didn't catch its name but it was divine
• Fried Kuay Teow which is the husband's ultimate favourite. 
• The unassuming plum gelato ice cream which me and the kids cannot get enough of. 

This place is so popular now, I even bumped into my boss who was on the Bottomless package. For at SGD178++ per adult, you get to enjoy all-you-can-drink beers, wines and cocktails, apart from the non-alcoholic drinks. I was told that this is the best alcohol deal in town if you are quite a heavy drinker or just needs a place to drown your sorrows. Ending the post with a cute neat hack, mummy made the napkin an apron for us and we managed to keep our clothes clean. :)

SGD118++* per adult | SGD 59++* per child (6 to 12 years old)

Inclusive of free flow chilled juices and soft drinks

Feasting during CNY: Edge Buffet

CNY is really a big event in the family. But as a working mum, it can get very overwhelming to prepare the CNY dishes. One of the easier option we have opted for now is hotpot. But when work pile up, I do struggle to even go to the market to prep the ingredients. Hence, I thought a buffet was a pretty good option too, especially when the group is big. 

We were pretty blown away with the CNY decor, something we could never come out with to be honest. I was initially concerned that we might not have yusheng (it is really a key highlight), but was really pleased to see a table prepared just for it, and you could even choose your own ingredients. Given this was a buffet, you could even add on more goodies from the other station. But nothing beats having someone to clean up the toss.  

My general concern is that most buffets are mostly don't prepare Chinese food and are lesser known for that. The same goes for Edge, so I was pleasantly surprised to see double-boiled soup, Nian Gao etc. being added to the menu. Our usual favourites were also there, so we didn't felt we missed out. For the picky eaters (like my #2), a buffet is great because we don't have to ask the relatives to make exceptions for her. And the likelihood of her finding something to her liking is high. 

Although I consider myself to be a rather stickler to tradition, I have to say a buffet isn't too bad an idea. To have a good bang for your bucks, avoid the actual CNY days, and the adults can enjoy a good lunch at less than S$100 and the children at less than S$50. Most importantly, children below 6YO eat free (that's pretty hard to beat.) Plus, nobody needs to clean up after. Huat Ah!

Oktoberfest at Edge - Tastes of Germany

To many of our readers, I am sure you guys know how much we love the Buffet at Edge. We love that they always serve the all-time favourites and have seasonal add-ons which give a fresh new take on things. This time round in view of the Oktoberfest, Edge offered guests the "Taste of Germany".

They say food taste best when shared and we can't agree more. So, I asked the kids if they wanted to show their grands around this time round. And my son took up the challenge. He assured me he knew the place very well and would make sure my parents enjoyed themselves. Also, I thought it would be a great bonding session for them.  

The place transformed into a gorgeous blue and gold, which I thought really brought out the Ocktoberfest vibes. The German favourites were all in full glory - Sausages, Pork Knuckles and Pretzels. And not to forget the beer (which is not included in the price). Not to boast how much I know the family, I knew they would go wild about the cooked oysters! (You can read my comments here if you missed it previously, haha.)

The kids basically knew what they liked so it made my parents' life very easy. They peacefully ate their pizzas, steamed fish and pasta. This time round, they also got to try Spezi - a popular German soft drink with cola and orange soda and enjoyed the variety of sausages. We haven't been too courageous when it comes to travelling but I am glad we kinda brought Germany to them :D

My parents only have good things to say about Edge and they actually can't stop talking about it. I read somewhere that relationship grows stronger because of shared experiences and I can kinda of see how true that statement it. My parents would share with me stories of how the kids know precisely where the ice-cream were and that yes I was right, the lobsters were absolutely yummy!

If you have any family/ corporate functions, I would suggest Edge because it provides a really good variety of premium quality. If you have younger kids, then the brunch would be more ideal because of the play area. We are nearing the tail-end, but if you want to try out the "Tastes of Germany”, it is until 26 October 2024. It is priced at is priced at $128 per adult and $64 per child (6 – 12 years old).

The BEST buffet for parents - Edge

Truly, you never know what you miss out until you experience it. Edge recently introduced a Kids Play Area and it is such a game changer. Just to caveat, my kids are pretty manageable in the grand spectrum so I always got the better deal. I felt I could really enjoy a meal. I have always been full of praise for Edge  (read my reviews here), but with the play area, the husband and I finally had some we-time and the food never tasted better. 

What's special about this play area is its own little dessert table that was catered to their height. The kids could scoop the candies themselves and also enjoy the chocolate fondue. Literally every child came out with "brown chocolatety lips". There was also a talented face paint artist who could draw whatever the kids want. 

Some tips on how to make your meal at Edge absolutely enjoyable, first of all, you need to request for the seats near the play area. You can either make sure they finish their meal first before releasing them into the play area or let them go "free-and-easy". I did the latter and it didn't work out too bad. They would binge themselves crazy but would come out patiently to enjoy the nutritious meals we scooped for them. 

The kids spent a good deal of time in the room, which was very child-friendly and sufficiently entertaining. For the olders kids, they would gather the cushions and watch a movie playing in the background. I just had to exert eye-power, instead of chasing them around. We spent a total of 3 hours at the buffet (unprecedented) and for the first time in my life, the husband and I could have proper conversation over a meal. 

Because it was such a relaxing meal, I was even in the mood to beautify my drinks - I took some fruits from the station to make mocktails. The state of the mind does make a difference, I was more observant of the deco, architecture and variety of food (which my husband told me was nothing new and has always been there.) Guess my vision was always too focused on parenting the kids, I have missed out "the finer things in life" literally!

After our delightful meal, I couldn't help but broadcast to my friends, coworkers and mummy communities how wonderful this place was. It is perfect for birthday celebrations or just an anniversary meal. The kids could tag along without stressing the other attendees. Everyone could just have a good time and enjoy the food. <3

Missing Local Delights: Flavours of the Lion City

If you have been away home for long or is a tourist who just wants to go one spot to enjoy all the local delights, Edge's Flavours of the Lion City. Like many other tourists, I always had the conception that there is no one place for all when it comes to good local food. But this buffet that prove me wrong. Any iconic local food could be found here and they were of very good standards. 

I was extremely pleased to find my childhood favourite - ice cream in rainbow bread. Things that were really good include the satay (cooked over charcoal), Deep-fried Durian, Banana & Chempedak Ball, and Kopi O Cake. The Teh-Tarik was also really good. 

Our all-time favourites - such as the lobster and oysters were still being served. We went on a weekday, but the place was packed! I think it is a perfect hosting place if you had overseas clients/ colleagues/ relatives coming over. Do book ahead if you are planning to head down cos I doubt there will be walk-ins available. 

The children as usual were having a wonderful time. By now, they are already quite familiar with Edge and also the food they serve. They know their favourites - pizza, steamed fish and the customisable pasta. The kids really enjoy "making" their own pasta. The ice cream and chocolate fondue is also another place which they remember fondly. Note: The steamed fish is my favourite food to serve them because it is healthy and delicious. 

One of the more interesting food I noticed this round was the steamed oyster. I am not sure about you guys but some of the old folks in our household are really against raw seafood. Dishes like this are great options because it widens the selection of premium seafood they can enjoy and "make the money work better". Psss...Singaporean citizens born in the year 1965 a special price of $88++ per person.

The "Flavours of the Lion City: A Culinary Expedition Through Singapore" at Edge is only available for dinner from 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm from 9 July until 8 August 2024. Prices include complimentary coffee, tea, teh tarik, iced limau, and soya chin chow.

• Child (6-12 years old): $54 per child

Sun to Wed

Family Friendly Buffets: Edge

Parents do ask me if buffets are suitable for toddlers and my answer is "yes, but it depends on which buffet". A children-friendly buffet usually would need to have good options. I need food which they can self-feed. So this would usually mean pizza, steamed fish/ meats, flavored rice, fruits, pasta, porridge. The last 4 being a bit more messy.  For this options, I would also need some variety because of the different cooking method, my children being a little picky may reject the food. 

The options would also need to satisfy the adults! My husband and I just can't eat baby food. We are not people who eat a lot but we are quite particular on the quality. We are just at a age we no longer can absorb bad calories. For me, the meat and seafood is really important. Buffet is an option when we cannot come to terms on what to eat. So you eat yours and I eat mine. LOL!

Back to food, Edge has an amazing selection. I never thought I would ever get lost in a maze of food, but for Edge I did. I kept finding new areas with new selection of food! I did somehow got tempted so I ate more than I usually would, haha. But it is a good problem because the quality of the food here is pretty high and maintained its standard since I last tried it (read about it here). 

For me, the must try here is the oysters. They are the best-est I ever had. I don't usually do second helpings but I did for this. The grilled lobster was also fantastic but it does run out fast. Good thing our table was stationed right in front of it, so we had the first dips when the fresh batch arrived. Another favorite of mine was the Lobster Eggs Benedict.

What we went was for the Sunday Escapade and I was rather blown away when I realise there was even live music. My toddlers were bobbing along to the tunes they serenaded and the experience was really pleasant. It is quite different from background music. So what's great about this is that the kids (who are both below 6 years old) ate free!!! If your family structure is like mine, your total damage would be $138 * 2 = $276 for the 2 adults (if you don't take the alcohol package).

And for $138, it comes with chilled juices and soft drinks so you don't have to trouble yourself with add-ons. If you haven't got any plans line up for Easter yet, you should also check out their Easter Sunday Brunch on 31 Mar, because it comes with largest Chocolate Easter Egg, filled with

an assortment of candies. And there will also be additional activities such as Balloon Sculpting and Easter Egg Painting. The icing of the cake...Easter Bunny mascot. Good food, good fun to entertain the day, that day is going to be perfect because the parents will finally get a good break and focus on the food.
