The Ultimate Festive Hotel Buffet Indulgence

As 2016 comes to a close, it’s time to take it slow and easy at work and indulge in relaxing activities. The festive season is a perfect excuse to gather with friends and family and catch up on each other’s lives. We are usually so caught up with our career, relationships and family that we tend to neglect our dear friends. So this Christmas, why not ask them out for a buffet? On one hand, you get to eat as much as you can while on the other hand, you get to spend as much quality time as you want with your friends. With your HSBC credit cards, you’ll be able to enjoy attractive festive dine-in deals at the following hotels.

You can start off with local delights at the live stations, serving up chicken rice, roasted meats and Laksa. Apparently, Town Restaurant takes pride in serving up one of the better chicken rice in Singapore. So much so that the working crowd from nearby offices in the Central Business District will drop by during lunch hour just for their chicken rice fix.

Pasta lovers will fall in love with the pasta section as you get to customize your own pasta, from the type of pasta, to your preferred sauce, toppings, spiciness and ingredients. There is also the seafood section, ranging from clams, mussels, oysters, prawns to other fresh catches from the ocean, and the Japanese section where you can request for your desired sashimi to be made into rice bowls or simply savour a selection of nigiri and maki. You can even balance your meal at the “Healthy Choices” section where you get to DIY your own salad so you won’t feel that guilty for pigging out this festive season!
