The Wonders Of Pincers Review: Unlimited Lobster And Crab Buffet With Chilli Crab, Salted Egg Yolk Crab And More

The Wonders of Pincers crab buffet at Ginger My relationship with crab is a special one. It annoys me that I have to get my hands drenched in sauce.

The Wonders Of Pincers Review: Unlimited Lobster And Crab Buffet With Chilli Crab, Salted Egg Yolk Crab And More

Located at PARKROYAL on Beach Road , Ginger is having a crab buffet, tastefully named The Wonders of Pincers . From now till 30 November 2018, a spread of delights such as Black Pepper, Chilli, and Salted Egg Yolk crabs awaits crab lovers ready to get their fingers drenched in gooey sauce. For those who are familiar with the previous version of The Wonders of Pincers, there are plenty of new additions to the spread.

The buffet costs $68++ for adults and $34++ for children during lunch and dinner. Food at The Wonders Of Pincers When you go to a buffet named “The Wonders of Pincers”, it’s hard to not try their crab first.

It was a little spicy but had just the right amount of heat that did not overpower the sweetness of the crab. Some may not like the intense peppery taste, but I liked how it gave the crab meat just the right amount of heat.

My personal favourite, the meat of the Salted Egg Yolk Crab was drenched in a thick coat of buttery and creamy salted egg yolk sauce. The lobster was fresh and flavourful, but I wished that the rich stock could have been mellower to bring out the taste of the lobster. You get to choose from a selection of stingray, squid, prawn, as well as chicken, pork or mutton satay that is cooked right on the spot.

The Grilled Half Shell Scallop with Yuzu and Shoyu brings something special to the lineup with Japanese scallops that are grilled in their shells. Combined with a hint of acidity from the yuzu juice, and savouriness from the bonito flakes and shoyu, the flavours were well balanced.

The good thing about having oyster omelette at a buffet is that you can get as many oysters as you want. But try some of the egg as well, it managed to soak up all the rich and briny essence of the oysters and goes well with just a dab of chilli.

The Chicken Roulade is stuffed with mushrooms and slow-cooked before being seared in high-heat with butter to bring out the roasted taste from the chicken skin. The Slow-cooked Salmon is simply seasoned with herbs and gently cooked to bring out the natural flavour of the fish.

The apples had a little sour tang that balances out the richness of mayonnaise and crab while giving plenty of crunch as well. The verdict If you’re a fan of seafood and anything crab related, I would recommend The Wonders of Pincers at Ginger as an ideal place to get your seafood fix.

At $68++, the place offers great value and would satisfy the cravings of any crab lover. The menu for the buffet is on a rotational basis, but you’ll definitely get to feast on loads of crabs at this thematic buffet.
