Savour the best of Asian and Western cuisine in one sitting at Ellenborough Market Café. The buffet restaurant, located within Swissôtel Merchant Court, Singapore, is best known for its expansive repertoire of Peranakan dishes. Must-try dishes include the homemade otah, refreshing rojak, sambal okra, ayam buah keluak, fried mackerel fish with chilli, and more.
Tempting as it may be to load up on these hearty offerings, be sure to save space for the restaurant’s other creations as well. Be spoilt for choice as you browse the extensive selection that range from pasta tossed with truffle cream sauce and smoked pork sausage, to drunken herbal live clams and sliced beef with black pepper sauce. Not to be missed it the signature durian pengat; luscious and decadent that it’ll be hard to stop at just one serving.
Luckily, the a la carte buffet format (from $58 for lunch, $72 for dinner) allows for free-flowing plates, served straight to your table. Grab a seat indoors, next to a fountain, or dine al fresco as you soak in charming views of the Singapore River.
