Buffets were big in 2024, but none received a warmer reception than the return of halal-certified Grand Hyatt Singapore’s StraitsKitchen, which reopened in July.
Priced from $68++ an adult for lunch or from $78++ an adult for dinner, it remains a solid go-to for local and Asian cuisine that stands out in quality and quantity.
The chicken rice, particularly the poached chicken, is better and tastier than ever.

Other evergreens that have remained constant include the laksa with a rich and coconutty gravy, double-boiled soup, charcoal-grilled satay and chicken wings.
The Indian and Malay dishes remain flavour-packed. The sotong sambal hijau, beef rendang, murgh makhani (butter chicken), gosht masala (braised mutton) and freshly made naan continue to draw well-deserved queues.

This is one buffet where the fresh seafood options – prawns, mussels and clams – are just a sideshow.
The array of desserts remains a spread to behold, with piles of kueh, muah chee and fried fritters (banana, yam or sweet potato) that make you vow to hit the gym.
Top tip: Add the fritters and coconut soft serve to the chendol or ice kachang for the ultimate sweet ending.
