This place is the reason why I now absolutely refuse to dine out in Singapore anymore. To the folks who complain the selection is limited, come to any Singapore buffet and compare yourself. The only spread that can match this place in terms of selection is Carousel at Orchard and it costs 3X more (after conversion). This is like the 5th time visiting and am impressed they expanded a BBQ and pasta selection outdoors. Superb!
The seafood is fresh - Oyster is big and juicy - Sashimi of salmon, tuna is sweet and fatty - Loves fry Egg Oyster. - Can choose some seafood plus Vegetables and mushroom and choose what Gravy u want from display menu, around 10mins it's ready. Nice and hot. - there are bread sections. - Alot of other dishes. - The Bandung drink is nice. - Alot savory cake, muffin, jelly and icecream for all sweet tooth people Can get a better live band like @nuradee or local Singer.
My family and I were at Amaya last Saturday 11/1/2025 for their buffet dinner. As usual the dinner was absolutely fantastic. The service from the Chefs and wait staff were just amazing. Everyone there was focus on keeping the food stocked and the guests comfortable. The food was fresh and inviting. The musical entertainment was out of this world. The 2 gentlemen providing the entertainment were singing songs in English, Chinese, Hindi, Korean and others. Amazing!!! It's no wonder why this has become one of our favorite places to eat.
Overall, the staff are excellent, the cooking methods are good. The issue is the ingredients quality. A similar buffet to Singapore is the one at the City Hall that one. Like the seafood was really not that good, only the prawn was very good. Even if the crab legs, like they not cheap but they taste of just brine. The mussels no good, just fry a dish of it in Sambal, that's a good way to mask frozen mussels deliciously. Also, could do with more delicious carbohydrates, there was just one fried rice. Could do with a cheap braised noodles (Chinese banquet). You can try a okonomiyaki, cheap and highly valued. The best items were the Satay, Tempura Vegetable (can add enoki mushroom), the Briyani is good, the Apple Crumble was of that quality. The fish pudding nice for the novelty. So, I think y'all get the gist, it was RM128, it taste like SGD 39, I hope the food ingredient quality can improve. In fact, your frozen crab not nice can try feeding people chili crab that perfectly mask the taste of crab, Mussels can do the same thing. Because ultimately the staff can produce food, the Apple Crumble show quality, your satay is good. The best part, the worker kept changing the food, so it's very fresh, just the ingredients need improvement or better masking.
