Singapore Seafood Republic — Restaurant in Tokyo

Ordered: Lunch buffet ¥1780

The buffet had a nice selection of food, which included the obligatory Hainanese chicken.

Hainan chicken: Chicken itself was quite good. The rice was very good. Personally I'd prefer it a tad tastier and less dry, but each to their own. Sauces included sweet soy sauce, Sriracha, and ginger sauce. The ginger sauce was average, not the best, but not bad. So far, the best Hainanese chicken that I've had in Japan.

Dessert and drinks were also available. Grape fruit juice (bitter as you'd expect), sour cherry herb (somewhat lacking in flavour) and oolong tea. Dessert included small cakes, pudding and fruit.

Overall, not a bad deal at all.

Didn't try it, but in case you're wondering, the chilli crab is S: 500-590g ¥5970 / M: 600-690g ¥7390 / L: 700-790g ¥8850

Unlike other lunch buffets in town, this restaurant does not have a time limit so I took the time savoring the flavors of the food from the restaurant’s three buffet stations.

I started my adventure with the laksa noodle from the noodle station. Slurping its soup base transported me back to Singapore zoo where I ate laksa after visiting the resident polar bear. On the downside, the laksa didn’t have any toppings like shrimp, fish cake, and egg.

Next, I tried almost all items in the main station. The star viands for me were the crab, crispy shrimp, and two kinds of chicken.

An hour into the meal, the sweet tooth in me headed to the dessert and drinks station. I liked the mini strawberry shortcake, meringue, and rice cake.

The experience overall was good but I am not sure if I would...

My review is for the lunch buffet. Food was slow, chicken rice was gross, other dishes were pretty disappointing. My one star is for the excellent waiter and waitresses. I went on a public holiday and they were slammed with many customers but still extremely polite and fast. My biggest problem was with the manager (the guy seating us wearing suit), he was rude and seated us later than customers that were behind us. We were in line before some girls who went up to him to ask if they have to write their name and I asked right after politely and he was just grumpy and responded like he’s ready to give up his job. For 2000 yen I guarantee you can get so so much better food in Ginza. I highly recommend you skip this place. They honestly need a new management and serve food that is for human...
