Furama RiverFront dinner buffet @ The Square

Furama Riverfront @ The Square - Dinner buffet review

Recently tried the dinner buffet at the Furama Riverfront @ The Square with Christine and Sha. 

It was sort of a joint birthday celebration as both Christine and my birthdays are in March ^^ Christine had some voucher from Prudential so the buffet was half price or something.

Never been to the Furama Riverfront hotel before and there isnt really any nearby MRT so i took a cab there lol.


Our table for the evening! Sharon was late cuz she was held up at work so we started the buffet first haha.

The seafood selection wasn't too bad, the prawns were my favourite! The prawns were very fresh and the flesh was very firm. Took quite a few servings of it.



What is a buffet without sashimi?? They only had 2 types though - Tuna and Salmon. I'm not supposed to eat raw salmon but Christine was tempting me cuz she was saying the salmon was very fresh and good so in the end i couldnt resist and took a couple of slices haha. True enough, it was indeed very yummy!


Cold cuts and salad selection


The cold cuts and ready made salads didnt really look very appetizing so i didnt touch any of those.


Mix your own salad - i always take this because it makes me feel less guilty when i eat this at buffets lol.


Hot Food selection - there was salted egg yolk crabs, prawns and some other chinese food dishes. Didnt interest me much so i didnt take pics of it lol.


There was also Taiwanese porridge with condiments such as caixin, peanuts etc - i took a small serving, somehow porridge always gives me such a homey feeling haha..


Cheese - i found the cheese selection quite pathetic frankly, didnt look very fresh also


Hot Drinks - There were pots of freshly brewed coffee and tea at the buffet.



What i really liked was this handy Local Teh/Kopi guide! It shows you how to make your favourite Teh Si, Teh Siew Dai, Kopi O Siew Dai etc hahaha.  

Super local man..i think if the foreigners see this they will be like err what is this? Lol..i tried making my own cup of Teh Si but it didnt really taste that great though. Cant beat the Teh Si Po which i always get from Wang's when i go into office hahaha


Desserts  - the selection was fairly small. 


Apple crumble


Fruits and small cakes


Sugar dusted doughnuts


Rainbow cake! looks better than it tastes though haha

Overall, i would say the buffet was fairly decent but I wasnt really wowed by it. I've been to much better buffets but given the affordable pricing, i would say its a buffet which you can go once in a while! 

We found out that even without the voucher which Christine got from Prudential, there was also a promo and the buffet was only $37++ with one glass of sparkling juice, $38++ with free flow of sparkling juice or $44++ with one glass of sparkling wine, house pour wine or beer. That's really quite cheap!
