Best cheap buffets in Singapore

We recently wrote about the best buffets in Singapore, but as someone who’s constantly on the lookout for good deals, I sought to find more wallet-friendly buffet options. Rather than breaking the bank on a single buffet, I have managed to collate 20 cheap buffets in Singapore that are priced under $40++ per person. There’s a mix of sweet and savoury options, as well as different cuisines, so there’s something for different tastes.

1. Captain Kim Korean BBQ & Hotpot

Lovers of K-BBQ should be familiar with Captain Kim Korean BBQ & Hotpot, as they’ve got a couple of outlets peppered around Singapore. Their buffet lunch (from $18.90++ per person) and dinner (from $28.90++ per person) draw many to their restaurants. You’ll find a slew of meaty offerings, including beef bulgogi, honey chicken, ribeye beef, and black pepper chicken, all drenched in flavourful marinades.

The best part is they’re halal-certified, so your Muslim friends can also head down and eat to their heart’s content. Also, don’t forget to leave some room for their ready-to-eat Korean delights, such as tteokbokki, japchae, and yangnyeom chicken.

To fulfil your comfort food cravings during gloomy rainy days, head down to Orchard Grand Court’s Crystal Café and dig into their famed Taiwan Porridge Buffet, which starts from $22.80++ per person.

The spread is sumptuous; complement your bowls of sweet potato porridge with homely accompaniments such as braised duck and pork trotters, salted eggs and veggies, and ikan bilis with peanuts. Feel free to browse their a la carte menu for more dishes to supplement your meal, as they’ve also got western fare, including Fish & Chips ($16++) and Beef Ribeye ($26.80++), if the porridge is not too filling.

There are over 90 items on their menu, ranging from nigiri sushi and hand rolls to teppanyaki and deep-fried offerings, including tempura, to really whet your appetite.

You’ll want to pig out on their free-flow sashimi too; they’re known for dishing out generous, thick cuts of fresh salmon, tuna, swordfish, and even octopus. While the buffet is priced at $41.70++ on paper, should you use DBS PayLah, PayNow, or NETS during their lunch buffet, you can get 15% off, bringing the cost well below $40++.

I remember a time when mookata was all the rage in Singapore. Though it seems like we’re past that phase, you’ll want to check out Family Mookata because they have a cheap mookata Protein Buffet, priced at just $14.90 per person. There’s a variety of marinated meats, including Garlic Pork, Thai Pork, and Honey Tomato Chicken.

The buffet also comes with vegetables, mushrooms, and carbs to help cut through the heavy meat flavours. The house-made chilli dip here is really popular as well, so be sure to get that alongside your meats!

Well-known for its wide range of Taiwanese dishes, Typhoon Cafe at Plaza Singapura has recently undergone a revamp and now offers a value-for-money buffet starting at $19.90++ per person. Helmed by Singaporean actor Andie Chen, the buffet features the same Taiwanese classics such as Taiwanese Salt and Pepper Chicken, Signature Taiwanese Oyster Mee Sua, and Xiao Long Bao, among others.

One item you should not miss is their Signature Pot-Boiled Milk Tea. Unlike conventional bubble tea brands that hand-shake their drinks, Typhoon Cafe pot-boils its milk tea in small batches to bring out a deeper flavour profile, resulting in a lightly sweetened beverage with layered notes and a subtle hint of burnt sugar.
