At first glance, Colony looks like yet another hotel buffet restaurant, but a clever hand with the interior blends the nostalgia of a bygone British-colonial era with more modern trappings. Partitions, vintage furnishings, and a smattering of tartan and houndstooth prints provide the charm, but it’s the impressive gastronomic journey that will keep you coming back for more.

The seven kitchens and accompanying 'live cooking stations' highlight the best of local cuisines and include Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, Malaysian, and Western dishes. You'll be inundated with choice - fresh seafood, perfectly grilled meats, laksa and other signature Singaporean dishes, dim sum, breads baked the traditional Tandoor way, and a wide variety of pastries and desserts.

Diners looking for buffet options that cover the expansive culinary heritage of Singapore will not be disappointed. (Nov 2016)

The creamy laksa is supposed to be a must-try." -SG Now
