After a successful run last year, the Plaza Brasserie Crab Buffet is back from now till 31 August 2013. That’s about 3 months for you to indulge in this All-You-Can-Eat Crab Buffet.

When I go to a typical coffeeshop zhi char stall to have crabs, it would already cost at least $50 per person to devour some decent crabs.

For Plaza Brasserie’s crab buffet which includes all their usual specialties from sushi, sashimi, deep fried calamari, dim sum, live cooking prata (durian or chocolate prata for that fact) and laksa, the price is $55++ for weekday dinners and $58++ for weekend dinners.

I have been to some crab buffets, but Plaza Brasserie’s selection just gets bigger. 8 different crabs this time – not on rotational basis, you get them all.

Other than the Singaporean favourite Chilli Crab and Black Pepper Crab, you can look forward to savouring new crab recipes – Crab with Tang Gui, Baked Crab, Nonya Curry Crab, Butter Crab, Stirred Fried Crab with Egg Yolk, Salted Egg Crab and XO Crabs.

Some of the new line-up is created by their new Executive Sous Chef Ken Ang.

My beloved crab for the day is easily the Stir-fried Crab with Salted Egg Yolk. While some customers may be picking out their favourite crab parts (pincers or claws) leisurely from the buffet table (faster can?), I was just going for the remnants of the salted egg yolk because there were the tastiest parts, especially when you try to lick the spicy-sweet-salty yolk encapsulating the crab shells.

Tip of the day: Use your hands. You have to get your hands dirty when eating crabs!

The ladies seem to flavour the Steamed Crab with Dang Gui and it is indeed less common to see herbal soupy style of crabs with wolfberries on the buffet table. Many of them go “It’s very ‘bu’” and go on downing the part-medicinal soup which they find very nutritious-tasting.

Eating eight different crabs at one go, digging the meat and sucking all the ‘chup’… sounds pretty crab-citing all right.

Buffet dinner (Mondays to Thursdays): Adult $55++ Child $33++
Buffet dinner (Fridays to Sundays): Adult $58++ Child $35++

  62. My personal favourite place to eat is at my grandpa’s place. He makes the best chilli crab and seafood dishes in the house. He used to work for the foreigners in the ship as a chef. Its been so long since he left us and really miss his cooking.

  104. All the crab dishes are so appealing and mouth-watering! But the first I would attack is the stir-fry crabs in salted egg yolk, time to indulge, looks so freaking AWESOME! yums 🙂

  164. Oh Holy Crab! Perfect timing for our next dinning date for hubby and me and hubby’s coming birthday celebration.

  165. I would attack the Stir-fried Crab with Salted Egg Yolk at the buffet table as this is something different from the Singaporean favorite chilli crab. I would want to have a different taste of crabs and experience the contrast between salty and sweet. I love liu sa pao so trying out stir fried crab salted egg yolk will be interesting to me especially I am someone who love trying out a variety of food not scared of gaining weight! email: quietstar87@hotmail.com ;).

  167. Oh holy crab! I will definitely go for the steam crab with Dang Gui 🙂
    Perfect timing for our next couple date without the kids and hubby’s birthday celebration.

  169. Attack XO crab first. Work from the mildest flavour to the strongest flavour to enjoy best.

  178. Would attack Singaporean favourite Chilli Crab since its most of Singaporean’s favourite must-order and hence the hunt for the best begins! 😀

  199. I will be leaving Singapore for a year in August and will definitely be missing my crabs!! So I will tuck into the Singapore Chilli Crabs FIRST! YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  200. Oh my god, I love crabs. Trying all different crabs will be just a great eating experience! Of course try them all!! 😀

  205. Holy-crabbyliciously crab!

    If I have to attack only one crab in this never-ending battle against this Crab World, that leaves me no choice!

    Baked-Salted -Black Pepper-Chili-Nyonya Curry-Butter-Stirred Fried XO Crab with Egg Yolk and Tang Gui! I choose you!

    ~Gotta catch em all`~.
    🙂
