Written by Varshaa Negi & Nadia Arianna   
Buffet. Ah, what a wonderful, sinful word. Endless amount of food served onto your plate, the wild abandonment of eating and ignoring your stomach that told you to stop eating several plates ago. That's what a buffet is all about - its pure, unadulterated gluttony in modern times.

HOOKED serves up a selection of restaurants offering buffets all year round. Our tip for all buffet goers: don't wear something tight fitting or risk bursting a seam.

Seoul Garden

seoul1         This authentic Korean-styled BBQ restaurant prides itself on offering its customers "a unique self-serving dining experience that will always be remembered".

        How many of us students on a budget, and an empty stomach have actually gorged silly on the steamboat or grilled meats over at Seoul Garden? Their array of food includes intense meat-marinates, large spread of fresh buffet items and freshest produce. If it can be grilled or broiled - you'll find it here.

        Since you're responsible for cooking your own food - it's almost idiot proof. So there's not need to call on your inner Jamie Olivers.

        A tip for those who don't or can't cook - you cannot eat your chicken meat semi-cooked, so stick to steaming your seafood and your red meats that can be eaten medium rare.

Must try: The extensive selection of seasoned meats.

Carousel Restaurant 

        This halal-certified restaurant has received rave reviews from the Straits Times and fellow food bloggers alike who were hungry for a decent, beautifully set restaurant to entertain their Muslim friends.

        Like countless other buffets, this buffet restaurant over at the Royal Plaza in Scotts hotel offers International Cuisine. Their plus point comes from the fact that their desserts are particularly delicious and the plush interior design (coupled with grand private rooms for private functions) that deck out the restaurant. Its prime location in Orchard is one more reason for us to pop over and give ourselves a treat after a long day of shopping. 

Must try: Selection of fresh sashimi and all the desserts!

Chocolate Buffet in Fullerton

chocbuffet2

        Now, we couldn't possibly have a SINFUL issue without talking about one of the most sinful ingredients known to mankind: Chocolate.

        Dark, intense, aromatic, smooth and a guaranteed rush of pleasure. How can we say no to that? And what better way to indulge in this sin than with a Chocolate Buffet over at the place that started it all - The Courtyard at the Fullerton.

        It's not all about chocolate fondue - you have an assortment of chocolate cakes and truffles! But then again, the luxurious melted chocolate, which cascades down the fountain before your eyes, is every chocolate addict's fantasy come true. Orgasmic, much?
