While your eyes may be drawn to the $1.99 char siew rice promotion from Tiong Bahru Meng Kee Roast Duck available on the stretch, we’re here to remind you that there are also six new buffet stalls on the block.

Chinatown Food Street’s new buffet army takes you on a tour of steamboat and barbecue types from around the world, so you have plenty of options within reach. As part of the street’s reopening, prices are going as low as $9.90 per adult for a buffet of their choice from 1 to 6 December, limited to the first 30 customers a day.

If you love Chinese cuisine and laksa, go to Chinatown Laksa Steamboat. You can choose from broths like laksa, pork stomach, or herbal chicken soups to go with your choice of meats, seafood, and vegetables. Buffet prices normally start at $21.90 per adult, and you get a free flow of Poached Hainanese Chicken for diners.

Milder, but no less delicious flavours can be found at Nabemono Shabu Shabu, which serves shabu shabu, oden, and meats with your choice of either sukiyaki, soy milk, or miso soup from $23.90 per adult outside of the promotion.

Those in camp Mookata can opt to dine at S88 Mookata, with Thai barbecue and steamboat options available, usually priced at $21.90 per adult. Get unlimited sides like Chicken Drumlets with Spicy Thai Sauce, Spring Rolls, or Thai Fish Cake to go with your order too.

Barbecue lovers can choose either to go for K-barbecue at Hongdae Korean BBQ, priced at $23.90 per adult with free tteokbokki and kimchi pancake, or Chinese-style barbecue at Lao Dong Bei Shao Kao, from $19.90 per adult. The complimentary sides at the latter are Sichuan Chicken or Wontons, both served with a chilli oil sauce.

Diners can mix-and-match as well, ordering from two different stalls at any one time with a minimum of four diners per table.

Chinatown Food Street will also make its comeback with a number of hawkers to look out for, like Famous Eunos Bak Chor Mee, as well as Katong Keah Kee Fried Oysters. The next time you’re in Chinatown hungry for a place to dine, explore this stretch and get the best of all worlds.
