Holiday Celebration at The Ritz! Singapore's Best Festive Lobster & Seafood Luxury Buffet
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- As Christmas and the Holidays approaches, the streets of Singapore are all decorated for the festivities and beautifully lit up. Kinda like the Vegas strip but in a classy subtle way. And like Vegas, the buffets in Singapore continues to get better and better and today, I get to visit what I believe is Singapores Best Buffet, or at least the most luxurious.
This is at a restaurant called The Colony at the Singapore Ritz-Carlton and this is going to be a lavious treat. I've heard they have spectacular offering of lobster, seafood, truffles and many of the wester and traditional Singaporean dishes; but above it all, The Ritz-Carlton is known for their superb hospitality so it will definitely be a great evening to remember.
As luck would have it, during the evening when I was dining, they had a tree lighting ceremony to kick off the festive season and cocktails all around. A nice diversion from the buffet, but it was quickly back to business. As nice as the cold seafood station was, taking a walk further into the buffet area, you'll find chefs hard at work grilling up loads of buttery lobsters, creating fresh Indian breads and curries and of course the meats from the tandoor. This is the first time I've tried a tandoori lobster but it certainly wouldn't be my last.
Turn the corner and you'll find yourself at Italian station where chef Justin was making mushroom truffle risotto mounted with countless knobs of butter, gratings for parmesian, and endless shavings of fresh truffles.. Venture a little further to the right, you'll find chefs grilling up plates and plates of lobsters to please the patrons and further down, of course there are the Singapore delicacies such and the BBQ roast pork and duck, the famous Hinan chicken and of courese, the laksa made fresh to order.
If you're ever in Singapore this would be highly recommend.. Well above and beyond he bar set by it's Vegas counterparts, and.a very enjoyable evening. Just make sure to get reservations early as there is a bit of a waiting list.

Tim, I have to say you have the best manners of any food vloggers I've seen. Always a joy to watch your discoveries! Greetings from Toronto. 😍
Warmest greetings from vancouver! Thank you so much 🙏
I agree...Tim is so nice and such a gentleman ❤
I wrote a similar comment just the other day!! So kind, gracious and thoughtful of Staff as well as impeccable manners. 🌿
I can't get over how you find so many of these unbelievable buffets!!! I have never seen tandoori lobster before and I was so impressed they made the risotto for you fresh on the spot! The sashimi and sushi looked so high quality and amazing and even the salad bar looked super impressive (I love mushrooms). And those desserts - wow - so premium and elegant (a tower of truffles and the gula melaka cake looked great). Gingerbread in the form of a parafait is so cool. I like how it is not a timed buffet and the interior decor of the restaurant was really beautiful. I would definitely get on an airplane JUST for this. Thanks for sharing this with us as always.
Thank you so much and after a bit of reflection, I was really impressed with the quality of everything at this buffet. Everything was done so well and nothing was dry. Would highly recommend it, although it is very pricey 😉
I appreciate Tim for how devoted he is to his fans and his channel and he shows all the best.
How can every bite seem to become more scrumptious than the previous bite? You are an awesome host who truly loves his job.. thanks for bringing us along.😊
It's always joyful to watch Tim's videos and delicious food.
Thank you so much for your kind comment 🙏🙂
I will be in Singapore at the end of January and now I know exactly where I want to go. Thank you for a beautiful video.
This is definitely one of Singapore’s best if not the best. Just make sure to make reservations now!
I was here for my wedding anniversary for the same buffet in early Dec, and thoroughly enjoyed the wide variety and quality of food. service was beyond excellent
What a special place for a wedding anniversary! Congratulations to you and yours❤️
Excellent Buffet Tim and two within the same week! Still waiting for those screw together chop sticks! Lol Tks
Those chopsticks sure came in handy. I remember flying recently and they were serving laksa on the plane with a fork and spoon. Nice to have them during the flight ;-)
The whole buffet was amazing. Though my favorite course was the entrées. Truffle Risotto, Tomahawk Steak and Lobster... now that's the perfect bite 😋
That truffle risotto was something else😋
Everytime i watch one of your videos...i get hungry no matter what time of day or even if i just ate...🤤🤤🤤
You can tell how muchh he is enjoying the best the Buffet has to offer. Very festive dishes for such a nice time of year. 🌿❤️🌿
I’m just like you Tim….I sweat like a pig! I’ll never forget how bad it was in Sri Lanka 10 years ago. Like a sauna! BTW….brilliant to use lobster bisque as a dipping sauce. Great work and great editing!!!!🎉
lobster bisque is delicious! but must be done right. shrimp bisque is almost as good
They can afford that buffet since there are lots of rich people in SG. Heat and humidity will keep you in shape. 😄😄SG is a safe and clean place. 👍
Everything looks amazing and delicious 😋
It's quite impressive. All the dishes and offerings at the buffet were done really well. Nothing was dry and all were very well prepared 😋
It would be nice to know the origin of the seafood . Sea perch is usually Freshwater Tilapia. Which eats Mosquito larvae.
Thanking you for sharing enjoy your Buffett
Absolutely grateful to get to visit and share these experiences. Thank you so much 🙏
Very good to see you enjoying your time again. I’m not a seafood person at all, in my refrigerator only salmon and trout but it’s very interesting how you dealing with those hard shells and another kind of seafood!
Thank you so much and salmon and trout sounds wonderful. The shellfish was a bit hard to crack into 😉
Shout out to the really cute waiter respectfully waiting behind you at around 5:30!
Good eye and really appreciative of all the stuff there. Really great sports and so attentive to everything
Hi Tim. Vielen Dank für deine wunderschöne Video. Das Essen sieht sehr gut aus 👍 Bitte noch mehr Videos. Ich wünsche dir noch einen schönen Weihnachten. Gruß Sue aus Germany 😊
Thank you, Sue and warmest wishes to you and yours. Have a wonderful Christmas in Germany.😀

The same to you and your loved ones
🦌🦌🦌🛷🎅🧑🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁
Lots of blessings and good wishes 🤞👍🌹✅
So tempting 😋 Tim, you sure have a huge appetite. Buffet is definitely worth it for you. I’ve celebrated my Christmas birthday in the Colony some years ago. By the way, welcome to Singapore. I’m an elderly aunty who’s been watching many of your videos. I’m your subscriber. Like your mannerism 👍
I admire your respect and appreciation for good food, love all the seafood buffet you go to!
Really grateful to get to explore all the great places in singapore. Really enjoyable
Everything looked amazing as usual. Beautiful restaurant and surroundings. With every bite you took, my mouth just watered. I wish I was there with you to share a glorious meal. I need a good traveling friend like you to explore all the pleasures life has to offer. I'm in Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦. Safe travels to you!
Thank you so much and I hope you get to go explore. Whether distant or local, it’s kind of nice to find new places to visit and eat. A very happy holidays to you and yours.😀
Thank you for taking us with you so many amazing choices. Everything looked beautiful that was so sweet they had a tree lightening ceremony nice touch!
It was a very nice experience and it was perfect timing for the tree lighting ceremony. A nice way to kick off the holidays.😀
Tim, everything the Ritz Carlton does is spectacular. This buffet does not disappoint. You hit the high notes, lobster and light/heavy mashed potatoes. The roast beef soft as butter! I’m sorry that you were a bit soft due to heat/humidity but that inconvenience led to an incredible buffet.
They really do quite an amazing job don't they? I could not find any fault with any of their dishes and the luxurious items were certainly top-notch... Well worth suffering through the humidity 😉
You're such a creature of habit with your lobster bisque as an accompaniment rather than put soup, if it's not broken lovely. Don't fix it. 😂 another cracking video Tim ❤😊
Everything was perfection! ( from what I could see) Loved the joke about Jones 😂
Thank you so much and I just couldn't help it. They had colonial maps there and it just reminded me of Indiana Jones 😁
💯percent content happy eating Tim Lee happy holidays wacthing from California 🙏🏼🌹🎅🤶🎄
Tim: I loved my time in Singapore 🇸🇬 a gem of a Country. The price is not bad considering the quality especially compared to the USA. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 to you & yours.
Tim, The food all looked so very fine. The risotto w truffles ahhh. The morel sauce over beef and whipped potatoes looked delicious. I stayed through dessert. Best
That was probably the best risotto I've had, with all the butter and Parmesan and truffles. I think one of the chefs told Justin to hold off as he was shaving the truffles on the plate 😆
i like roasted duck in Singapore , i've eaten. very yummy
The duck was awesome and I don't think I did Justice to that chicken. Definitely one of the best chickens I've had, so flavorful and I wanted to ask them for the recipe
I love watching you. I feel like I’m right there with you. I like that you take us with you for the entire meal.
Thank you so much 🙏 very grateful to get to connect and share these experiences here
Hello Tim Lee
I so want to eat at this restaurant and have a buffet with you Tim Lee.
The staff are so These buffets know how to coo. These
so delicious one 6 pm. This is on
My bucket li at.❤
Really enjoy his videos…insightful, informative, and well made! He’s also much a nice guy!
Thank you so much for your kind comment🙏
Tim at a 114k subs!! I remember when he was at only a few thousand when his channel randomly popped up on my feed. I subbed immediately. If anyone deserves a boost it is a laid-back dude that gives respect to the staff and love to the cheese!!
Thank you so much for all your support. Really grateful to get to visit and share these places here. Wishing you and yours a very happy holiday 🙂
thank you tim. it's so interesting to see the food that is offered at these expensive and elegant restaurants.
Thank you so much. This was quite a pricey buffet in Singapore and really enjoyable though. Nice to see the celebration for the holidays 🙂
The buffets you go to are fantastic Tim! The quality of the food is so great, and the staff are always so nice and well mannered. Loved the desserts, I’m a huge dessert lover.
I so agree! The servers and hosts were just amazing. I can't think of a better place for a dessert lover! 🙂
Christmas came early. What a festive feast. Thank you!
Hello again tim great video the buffet looked very good and that chef was very generous with the truffles I hope you get to the air conditioning when you can my friend
Love your videos.....
Thank you so much for your kind comment 🙏
WOW, two videos in one week 🎉...the food was so grand looking, glad you enjoyed yourself...the desserts always are too pretty to eat 😂...safe travels and God Bless 😘🤗❤
Happy Holidays, Tim.
A very happy holidays to you and yours as well!
Wonderful! Merry Christmas!
The risotto with Truffles 😍😋
I could have gone for a second plate of that 😋
Loved watching the chef tap his buddy giving way too much truffle
I know! I saw that when I was editing this... He could have continued for a little longer 😉
Your one of the u tuber's I like to watch. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much 🙏 wishing you and yours a very happy holiday 🙂
Seems these buffets keep getting better and better. Worth going to Singapore, despite the weather. Funny line about being glad they were not serving mulled wine at the tree lighting ceremony. I would rather have mulled wine than eggnog.
Thank you so so much. Really surprised and great to see all the venues they have in Singapore. The weather was definitely a challenge, but everything else is great.
Pretty good that they offer scampi. I saw it on your plate.
I love your videos!
However could you please do a video on what you do for work and how you got started doing RUclips video😂😂s?! I think it would be interesting !Also how you afford to travel as much as you do!
I hope you are having a wonderful time wherever you are ❤!
Great points and questions. I hope Tim responds
Thank you so much and I never thought that would be something people would be interested in. Will definitely plan for that sometime in the new year... Thank you so much!
Good video. Unfortunately, Colony standard has actually been on a decline. It has seen better days. I miss their legendary annual Super Brunch. The scale and offerings will just make your jaws drop. Will try to put up a video montage of it one day
I'll take hot and humid on Christmas day before cold and windy.
I'm still debating that choice 😆
That was an incredible looking buffet. Hope you have a Merry and Happy Holidays. Cheers, Tim and God Bless!✌️🇨🇦
Thank you so much and a very merry Christmas to you and yours 🙂
saw your $12 Filipino buffet and now this, your analysis of flavours in the food is a gift, I can only say what i have just eaten tastes nice,good,great etc but defining whats in a dish is true culinary skill. thank you and looking forward to more content
Thank you so much for your support and your very kind comment. Really appreciated and all the best to you and yours.
Great place 😍 I’m going to have to learn to brave the heat out there. lol
Wonderful video as usual. Never disappoints.
Nothing like freshly grilled lobsters 😉😋
Keep living your best life Tim.
Thank you so much! It is a lot of fun, but certainly difficult to juggle work and the RUclips travels…. I’m really pushing the vacation days and work remote policies to its limits😃. The interaction with this community makes it all worth it. Thank you again 🙏
Merry Christ-mas- Tim-- love your vids
A very merry Christmas to you and yours as well! Eat well and stay safe 😁
Hi Tim, glad you enjoy the best buffet in Singapore one of my favourite buffet. I had that last month too foods was amazing, great varieties .service excellent too. By the way that seafood is langoustine not mantis shrimp 😊. Enjoy your wonderful trip in Singapore cheers..
Thank you so much and I can see why this is the best buffet in singapore. Hope you had a great time as well. Langoustines... That would explain it. Really delicious
Beautiful👍👍👍👍👍😊
Tim you should try jack daniels bottled in bond it is so good and goes with almost any meal
Thank you so much and I will keep that in mind. I've never heard of it being bottled like that
You really seemed to enjoy the food Tim. 😋😋
Always a pleasure to watch your videos and listen to your calming voice.
I love the granola at the Ritz. But it seems most buffets have stand fair, with a few local items.
I have not had granola at the Ritz-Carlton before. It's funny because it's probably not the first thing I would be choosing, but after this, the next time I go I'll definitely seek out the granola 🙂
They can't all be the best.
Yeah, I might’ve overdone it a bit, but this is probably Singapore’s best buffet. They really did a great job.
@@TimLeeLetsGoI know a good headline matters. Will keep watching.
Heyyyy Tim It's Wanda catching up on your food travels. Wish I were there! 🎄⛄♥️
This buffet next level good find tim
Well, for $100 + it was a very nice special meal!
A little bit pricey, but really well worth it 😋
I would have loved to enjoyed with you. That looks spectacular!
Likewise! Always fun to eat together. This was quite an extravagant Buffet and really well done 🙂
Wow is beautiful everything you do thank you Tim Lee🧐✈️👏👍🏻🆒😋
To the person reading this, even though I don't know you. I wish you the best of what life has to offer 🙏 🙌 😊❤
I wish you the best too. Happy Holidays and may the New Year be a great one ✨🎄
@@lisasavarno2636 🤗🙌🎄👍
Many blessings to you as well
@@tonyv9712 🙏🙌😊👍
I bet this is Tim in a secret account
It's alqays possible to walk from an MRY station to any surrounding building without being in rhe outdoors, or along the street.
For one of the most densely populated countries in the world, you would find the streets relatively quiet and uncrowded.
thank you tim
Oh.. thank you!😊
Tim.
Great video.
Happy holidays, Tim! 😊😺😺❤🍪🍪🍪
Same to you and wishing you a wonderful new year to come
Nice one Tim 😃👍
Tim happy holidays to you and your faimily
A very happy new year to you and yours
I’m drooling 😢😂 made me hungry and I can’t eat until tomorrow. I’m doing 22 hours IF one meal a day 😂
Thanks for sharing - i really love to cook and with your videos i always get some inspirations about things i could prepare for my family and friends. i am just writing my shopping list: today i have salmon und sourcream and blinis and caviar on it. ispired by your salmonrole - unfortunatly here in Austria it is more ore less impossible to get real nice and tasty seafood and fish. I always eat this in Norway, Portugal, Spain or Italy. Thank you for all your efforts doing all this videos an spending your spare time working on your content.... by the way: christmas starts quiete early in Singapore ☺ - take care and enjoy!!!
Merry "chirstmas" and happy new year Tim.
Same to you and yours! Merry Christmas, and a great 2024
oh so high price for me, but it's look so luxury and yummy. the lobster make me hungry!!!!
I think this is the most expensive Buffet I've paid in Singapore
LOVE THIS
I'd be happy with just that grilled lobster
Me too 😋
You walked in from the front drive. Quite a climb. You should have walked in from the backdoor from millenia walk after alighting from Promenade mrt station.
I didn't know that.. I should have done that as it was quite humid out
Lobsta!
Well said!
The weekend buffet dinner is usually fully booked out months in advance. You must have some one set aside a table for you.
It's certainly booked well in advance. I made the reservation a month ahead and even then it took some time to get a table.
“the best chicken you have had”.. ok, now you have to send some to Va (usa) so i can try it. 😊
I was so tempted to ask for the recipe, I might even email them to ask for it. Very unique and very flavorful. I still can't describe it well....
The Ritz food is good overall, just that the seafood section is really crampy, oysters run out by the first half of the buffet timing, lack of space around the buffet sections. Hot food also crowded. I wish they implemented an order system where the waiter serve the food to you especially at the noodle station.
You do get a bit cozy with your fellow diners. I have noticed that as well as it was shoulder to shoulder at the seafood station
hi Tim, I'm in Thailand & would love to go to a seafood buffet like that . Do you know of any ? Happy Holidays!
Yes, in bangkok, go to the copper beyond buffet
Tim, have you ever tried any of the local Singapore 🇸🇬 hawker food centers in and around Singapore 🇸🇬?
Yeah, I got a chance to try the hawker centers. Really grateful to meet up with some friends there and we had a feast.😋
You love a good lobster bisque to use as a dipping sauce
Wonderful buffet! How do you travel all over the world, eat all that wonderful food and pay for it?
Thank you so much! Aside from the meals, I am very frugal with the travels, always looking for deals, and I don’t stay at any lavish hotels
This looks fantastic value for money. I just have no idea how you can possibly eat so much. I maybe get 2 or 3 plates with a couple of different things, basically starter, main, and dessert and I'm always so full. There must be a secret to being able to eat more, I'd like to know what it is.
It just takes a bit of practice… Seriously, I do way over eat at these buffets, and always try to take a little bit of everything to show the food. But it does take a bit of of recovery afterwards.
Are you traveling one person ?
As many of this places avoiding seating one person.
I try to reserve 2 ppl on French buffet and almost impossible while there is plenty availability for table of 4.
I travel either by myself and meet some friends at the destination, or travel in very small groups, maybe just two or three. Although it might not seem like it, travel is limited to the vacation time available. I hope you get to try the French buffet, I really enjoyed it and it was definitely well worth the journey 🙂
I love the Chinese style stirred fried lobsters more than the butter lobsters.
Tim. I just wanted to respond to your comment. You are awesome and I really enjoy your videos. I hope you are doing well. If not then never run out of grains of salt. Take care.❤😊
Thank you so much and really grateful and appreciate your support!
Did you have to stay there in order to access the buffet ? Or can you just walk in and pay for the buffet . That Hotel is expensive almost $700 a stay for one day
I couldn't afford to stay at the hotel, just barely afford to eat there... I made the reservation over a month in advance, and even then it was hard to get a table
Stop making me hungry
I would be eating only grilled lobster and the Chinese roasted duck. With just a taste of the other items and desert.
❤❤❤
