Singapore｜Riviera

Impressive views and interestingly decorated desserts. I was glad to have a meal last year and just realised I haven’t rated it!

Was recc to try the buffet lunch which is a new thing the restaurant started recently. Nice decor, professional and attentive staff and also a nice view near the Merlion! Staff will recc u to enjoy the buffet in sequence of the menu, though I was quite tempted to dive right straight for the roast meat live station. For starters, you will be served a shellfish consommé, a plate of oysters and some cured salmon. Consommé was refreshing and the oysters are nicely shucked and fresh! Cured salmon was also thickly sliced. Up next you get a mutha huge tray of ham, duck rillete, foie gras pie and assorted cheeses. At this point i feel abit illogical. With just the 3 of us obviously there’s no way we can finish this and still stomach the mains and desserts. Personally i don’t like to see wastage but really no choice this time but had to pass a large remainder portion of it. The cheeses weren’t really my thing and the ham and the rillete are just fairly decent. Maybe i don’t how to appreciate ba. Next is the roast meat live station i was waiting for. Btw you can order any of the previous dishes that u had at any point of time. There was australian ribeye, bbq spare ribs, lamb shanks, chicken pastilla, charsiew and also mushroom risotto. Generally everything at the live station was gd. Even the risotto which is easy to f up was really well made. But my fav was prob the charsiew. I have no idea how they get such a mutated large chunk of mutha tender charsiew from. Most charsiew i see is usually a thin long piece of loin meat. Need to get a hold of their charsiew supplier sia lol. At this point of time, we thought we enjoyed the highlight alr but hell no…the dessert station was the darkest horse ever! Super nice caramel macrons and the bestest choc tart ever! If u bake u will know how troublesome it is to make macrons. Choc tart is the star of the show man. Indescribable but i think there’s a layer of biscotti spread in between the tart and the base biscuit that gives it a special crunch to it. Walan eh, if i know the desserts were this gd i would skipped the tray of ham and cheeses. Oh well, will def return with a diff strategy the next time lol. Overall a really nice experience worthy of breaking my ketosis. $133 nett per pax; abit pricey for lunch but really quality stuff, nice ambience and excellent view!

Celebrated my birthday in Riviera and had a wonderful experience. Great location, stunning view, delicious food and impeccable service! Kudos to the team who took care of our dieting restriction and made the entire experience one a memorable one!
