We visited Hathaway recently and loved the experience. The dinner buffet at Capital Tower is boutique in scale but focused on quality. Priced at $96++ per adult for 1.5 hours, the spread feels thoughtfully curated. The 1‑for‑1 promotion for DBS, POSB, Maybank, and OCBC cardholders runs until 30th June 2026 and is available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Public Holidays, bringing the value to about $58 nett per guest after GST and service charge. Free‑flow Prosecco is available at $36++ per pax.

Western selections featured Fresh Oysters that were briny, moderately sized, plump, and downright shiok. I kept slurping them and easily polished off more than 18 pieces, making this alone worth the visit. Barramundi Meuniere was well executed but felt overshadowed once compared with the richer curries. Roasted Australian Beef with Entrecote Sauce was tender overall, though some cuts leaned dry. Linguine Aglio Olio with Mixed Seafood carried a tastisfying umami depth and was well balanced, while Gratinated Cheese and Potato offered a simple comfort bite. Roasted Asparagus was crunchy and well seasoned. Stir‑Fried Buttermilk Prawns were cocktail‑sized, bouncy, and nicely flavoured, adding a playful touch to the Western spread.

Southeast Asian flavours gave the buffet its distinctive character. Ah Nya’s Fish Curry was silky, layered, and more enjoyable than the barramundi. Beef Cheek Rawon was heavier but tastier, with meat more tender than the roast beef, though having a lot could feel jelak. Gado Gado came with a rich Peanut Sauce that turned out to be one of the most memorable elements of the meal. It was versatile enough to elevate other dishes, even rescuing the Chicken Galae Skewers, which were seasoned well but whose marinated sauce lacked depth. Nasi Ulam and Sambal were fragrant though fairly normal, while Tempeh Orek was savoury and crunchy. Kueh Pie Tee was pre‑arranged and filled, making it very easy to eat without fuss, while Razor Clams with Glass Noodle and Garlic Soy added a savoury seafood garlic punch.

Desserts were the strongest section. Moist Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting was comforting, while the Coffee Chocolate Tartlet and Lemon Meringue Tartlet stood out as highlights. The Coffee Chocolate Tartlet impressed with its stronger, deeper flavour that lingered pleasantly, while the Lemon Meringue Tartlet offered a refreshing contrast, light with a sweet‑sour balance that cut through the heavier mains. Pulut Hitam with Coconut Milk was not burnt, pleasantly chewy, and balanced in sweetness. Sago Gula Melaka was interactive, with coconut cream and gula melaka provided separately so you could add to your desire, making it a fun and customisable finish. Traditional favourites like Kueh Ko Swee and Kueh Salat added a local touch.

Drinks were kept simple with coffee, tea, and juices in orange and apple. Service was attentive and efficient, with plates cleared quickly to keep the dining flow seamless. The atmosphere felt intimate compared to larger hotel buffets, and while the spread is smaller, the quality and thoughtful touches, from peeled prawns to pre‑arranged kueh pie tee, made the experience wonderful.

Vegetarian Set Lunch in Hathaway at Capital Tower 🥔

Main course was the Gado Gado Set 🥗 coupled with Nasi Ulam and Tempeh Orek 😋 For this, I missed out to ask them to remove the chives as well 😭 Anyways, the Tempeh Orek was amazing, with the fried tofu, fresh cucumber, and crunchy bean sprouts below the chilli ☺️

Love the cooked long beans and tempeh, the saltiness of this dish paired with the plain white rice is 😍
(did not get the Nasi Ulam as it contains Alliums)

This restaurant do have vegetarian options. You will need to list down what you can’t take to the staff to allow them to recommend you on what is suitable.

Conveniently located opposite Frasers Tower. Around 10-15 minutes walk from Telok Ayer MRT (DT18) or Tanjong Pagar MRT (EW15).

Recommended for vegetarians if you want to bring your business client for a good meal yet fulfilling your own dietary requirements 🔥

📍A Kitchen (Punggol) 友間廚坊
- Chong Qing Grilled Fish 重慶烤魚🐟
- Lamb Kebab羊肉串🍖
- Chicken Kebab 雞肉串🍗
- Grilled Eggplant 烤茄子🍆
- Cold Dish 家常涼拌菜🥗
- Pork & Cabbage Dumplings 豬肉白菜餃子🥟

Would recommend the grilled fish, already includes black fungus, beanspout, vermicelli, corn and lotus roots in it, no need to add-on. Quite spicy but it’s shiok!

Also recommend the lamb kebab, coated with cumin powder, like it with a little lamb gamey taste, main point is that it’s very tender!

However, can skip the dumplings for the skin is too thick and got a little porky smell. Likewise, can skip the cold dish cos nothing too special about it.

The rest of the dishes are decent, can order…

Cosy restaurant setting, unassuming but for the price point, will visit again!

Established in January 2021, this fast casual, family-friendly restaurant boasts an extensive menu.

Carries robust smoky grainy sweet meaty savoury fishy salty vegetal eggy spice flavour. Love the chili paste on the side, with its fiery spicy salty kick.

($4.50) its nt that salty and well seasoned dish.

Korean stir‑fried glass noodles. Served with mung bean sprout side dish and corn cheese. Chewy, springy noodles with mixed vegetables. Generous portion, loaded with veggies, savoury and tastisfying.

Seaweed laver soy ham fried rice. Short‑grain rice tossed with zucchini, corn, soy ham, seaweed laver and sesame seeds. Portion was just right for one pax, filling and tasty with a deep savoury note.

Army stew with an add‑on set that comes with two mandu (veg gyoza) and a glass of iced blue pea flower drink. Comfort food as always. Chewy ramyeon, baked beans, soy sausage, enoki, rice cake, firm tofu, seaweed flakes and cheese all in an umami‑rich hot pepper broth which felt kinda mild for me. Haha.

Dumplings were crispy and filled with vegetables. Drink was sweet, refreshing and cooling.

Almost every visit to a Korean restaurant, I never fail to order this dish. One of my favourites and also part of my quest for the best Korean steamed egg in an earthenware bowl. This bowl was the most impressive so far, with the highest puff‑up egg among all I’ve tried. Light, fluffy, soft and wobbly with a soufflé‑like texture. Savoury and umami‑rich, you can taste the broth infused into the egg. Must order!

Skeptical at first about halal vegetarian vegan Korean cuisines, but it turned out far better than I expected. The food mostly amazed me, especially their steamed egg.

[ROCHOR, SINGAPORE] I would say first that the Slice Beef Soup 🍲 ($16.90) here is not for everyone, due to its initial seemingly bland flavour. Salt and pepper is provided for you to add to taste, and that further brings out the beef flavour in the soup 😁

Most might think that it's not flavourful enough, but I feel like it's purposely made this way to contrast the savoury kimchi provided to pair with rice. The kimchi is made in-house and very different from any other Korean restaurants. Their cabbage is somehow crispier, and the marinade used had a very deep savoury and garlicky flavour. Pair that with rice and chase them with a mouthful of the light comforting soup and you get a satisfying meal!

If you want a deeper flavour, I believe the Half Chicken Soup 🍲 ($15.90) may appeal to you better. The chicken broth flavour is more prominent after adding some salt, and the chicken itself is so tender and succulent.

Come here for comforting soup & amazing kimchi 😋
