Go on a crab feast at this Crazy About Crabs buffet with 19 different creations to suit different tastes
Make sure you come on an empty stomach for the Crazy About Crabs buffet at Brizo Restaurant & Bar, Park Hotel Clarke Quay.
At this lavish buffet, you’ll get to dive into a resplendent myriad, from cold selections and roasts to daily bakes and nourishing soups but best of all the sought-after crab and crustacean dishes. The tantalising spread on offer checks all the boxes for any crab-lover, and looking at it certainly whet my appetite.
A Crab-ilicious Feast
Brizo’s Signature Heavenly Fragrance Crab makes its debut in this buffet promotion. This delicacy encapsulates Chinese, Malay and Indian flavours, and was stir-fried with crispy bits of dried shrimp with savoury homemade sauce (made from bird’s eye chillies and curry powder). This winning combination resulted in an aromatic and truly flavourful dish.
What really stole the limelight on the night was the simplistic Steamed XO Crab served in dim sum baskets. The flesh was firm and succulent, and steaming it brought out its natural flavour well.
I couldn’t resist trying the Salted Egg Crab that was enrobed in a generous amount of rich salted egg sauce. However, I was a little disappointed, as it turned out to be a tad too mushy for my liking.
Hits & Misses
Among the dishes that use fresh mud and flower crabs, I’d say Baked Crab with Lime Butter & Tarragon, Laksa Crab and Crab Bouillabaisse are the more notable ones. I was particularly fond of the Laksa Crab due to its lip-smacking gravy which, truthfully, overshadowed the crab that was added separately.
Anyone who lays his or her eyes on the deep fried station would be tempted to make a beeline for it. It has a beautiful presentation of Soft Shell Crab, Chilled Flower Crab, Alaskan Crab Leg, Spanner Crab and more.
However, the dishes here paled in comparison with the ones I tried earlier. If you have a small appetite, I’d recommend that you focus on the previous station. If all else fails, baked crab and pepper crab are always a safe bet.
Once you’re satisfied with your crab feast, head over to dessert paradise! The delightful dessert spread features jelly and mousse in shooters, macaroons, durian pengat, assorted cakes, Nonya kueh, Magnum mini, the tempting chocolate fondue, and more options that will satisfy your sweet tooth.
