Celebrate the weekend in Singapore by indulging in one of the best weekend buffets and brunches with free-flow alcohol if you wish! We don’t think it has to be a special occasion for a good boozy brunch in town. (Note that in view of ongoing precautions relating to the pandemic, instead of the usual buffet display, brunches are now available as plated dishes in unlimited servings.)
MO BAR
Inspired by the Pacific Ocean, Mandarin Oriental’s bar concept MO BAR – a collaboration with award winning bar developers Proof & Company – features Polynesian-chic décor, with hand-carved wooden sculptures, woven tapestries and travel artefacts integrated throughout. Sit at the beautifully-designed contemporary bar, where you’ll be treated to picturesque cityscape views.
Happening on Saturdays and Sundays from 12 to 2.30pm, the weekend brunch at MO BAR costs $156 per person for two hours of free-flow champagne and selected “Asia’s 50 Best Bars” cocktails. Not much of a drinker? Go for the non-alcoholic option, which is $98.
The feast begins with a fresh seafood platter of seasonal oysters, prawns, snow crab and Maine lobster. Then you’ll get to choose three of your favourite dishes from options that include the following: tiger prawns with masala mayo; Taiwanese beef noodles; tagliatelle with roasted mushrooms and creamy black truffle sauce; butter chicken; and braised Angus beef short ribs. You’ll also be treated to an array of sweet treats, including the Grand Cru Chocolate – bitter dark chocolate mousse with cacao génoise and hazelnut praline feuilletine – and Matcha Yaki-Imo Cake – matcha soufflé sponge with mascarpone and roasted sweet potato bavarois.
