Overlooking a cascading waterfall set against lush greenery, The Dining Room at Sheraton Towers Singapore is a most convivial and idyllic setting for a get-together with family and friends. Throw in efficient service with a smile and a quality international buffet spread, and we are sold.

Begin with a choice selection of smoked meats and salads, before moving on to the seafood counter, which features an assortment of succulent mussels, juicy prawns and plump scallops. There is also a Japanese counter showcasing fresh cuts of sashimi and sushi.

Warm up your appetite with a cream of cauliflower soup, then head to the carvery station for mouth-watering premium roasted lamb or beef, served with condiments such as beef jus, mustard and mint sauce. There is also pan-seared foie gras, freshly prepared and cooked to perfection for those who are after even more indulgence.

Not just good for Western classics, all-time local favourites are also available. Try the prata with a side of curry, peppery bak kut teh, and laksa in a flavourful, spiced coconut milk broth studded with prawns. From the Indian station, the dhal curry and chickpea masala are highly recommended.

Satisfy your sweet tooth at the dessert counter with its lovely range of delicate petit fours, baked tarts and mini cones filled with flavoured mousse. The custard pudding and molten chocolate cake paired with ice cream promise to end the meal on a toothsome high.
