Straits Kitchen at Grand Hyatt Singapore occupies a special place where hotel buffets are concerned. In a country with a fast-changing f&b landscape, this restaurant’s hugely popular buffet has kept itself relevant for more than a decade – a rarity when it comes to the Lion City. Not only does it attract locals looking to savor spicy hawker-style dishes all in one roof, it has also become the de facto venue for tourists looking to sample Singapore food without having to brave the food courts. Even the renowned travel guide, Lonely Planet, cites it as one of the recommended places to eat in Singapore.
Personally, Straits Kitchen is one of my favorite hotel buffets in Singapore. You might not find freshly shucked oysters here or lobsters – and that is not what this buffet is about either – but I’ve always thought the offering left little in terms of fillers. There are just so many specialties here in this halal buffet – from the delectable soya sauce chicken to the flavorful Indian dishes down to my favorite muah chee for desserts. The venue is definitely one I always look forward to visiting.
