We also hear that the oysters are excellent. Fresh, plump, and sizeable, these oysters are said to exceed what you’d expect from a buffet that costs around $50.

There are also plenty of hot dishes for you to check out here. Those looking for noodles to complement their seafood can drop by the ramen bar, where you can get dishes such as miso ramen, tom yum ramen, and even Penang laksa. For fried eats, drop by the tempura station to get some prawn, squid, or chicken stripe tempura.
