Like most self-professed foodies in Singapore, the one thing that made everything feel better during the pandemic is the fact that you could get your favourite food delivered from your preferred restaurant, cafe or hawker.

Great as that was and still is, sometimes all you really want is to dine out and have the option of unlimited servings of sashimi, grilled beef or pork steak, and even high tea.

International buffets may be back on the menu, but they are usually more expensive than a la carte buffets due to the location and menu spread.

So, whatever your food cravings may be, satisfy them at one of these 6 a la carte buffet restaurants the next time you head out with your family or friends. Also, be sure to bring your dining credit cards with you so you can enjoy credit card promos that will offer you discounts for every meal!

You can also check out their happy hour menu for house pour spirits (S$10++ per shot), wines (S$8++ per glass), cocktails (from S$12++ per glass), and other refreshingly intoxicating concoctions.
