Egg Benedict with Crab Meat |
A
Sunday brunch buffet at a five-star hotel is a perfect way to spend Sunday
afternoon with your loved ones or friends. Oscar’s Endless Sunday Brunch at
Conrad Centennial Singapore provides a luxurious spread of delicious food and
free flow of alcohol.
Our
picks from the awesome buffet line up are:
Pan-fried
Foie Gras complemented with yuzu gel and slow roast fig. Foie gras is the
favourite ingredients for LD and I. The version here is perfectly seared till
it reaches a crisp exterior. The internal part of the foie gras is smooth and
velvety. The yuzu gel and slow roast fig add a touch of sweetness and acidity
to accentuate the flavour of the foie and reduce the overwhelming fatty
flavour. Simply a melt in the mouth texture.

Grilled
Rock Lobster and Jumbo Clams. The lobster and jumbo clams are grilled
outdoor on a charcoal bbq. The lobster is juicy, succulent and springy. However,
we both agree that the jumbo clams are superb. Juicy, bouncy served with
intense umami broth using the clam jus reduction with garlic and butter. Yum
Yum.

Alaskan
King Crab served on the seafood spread is fresh, sweet and briny. It is
good on its own, however, LD decided to get creative and added it to the seafood
bisque. The thick and creamy seafood bisque complements the sweet flesh of
Alaskan King crab nicely.

Oysters
around the globe. During the Endless Sunday Brunch, Oscar’s will serve
oysters from Ireland, Canada, France, Scotland and Australia. This time around,
my favourite pick is from Ireland. It is plump, juicy and sweet, followed with
a slightly briny flavour at the end.

Egg
Benedict with Crab Meat and Pulled Pork Sliders. Eggs are always an
integral part of brunch. The egg benedict here is served on a bed of de-shell
crab meat and crisp sourdough. The sourdough is thick and solid, it did not
turn soggy after the toppings were sitting there for a while.

Meanwhile,
the pulled pork sliders moist and bursting the juiciness of the braising
liquid. Served with cream sauce and brioche bun, it is just so addictive.

Texas
Rub Roasted OP Ribs with condiments. Since I am a Sunday Roast type of guy,
I will not miss out on this. The rack of ribs is roasted to medium and sliced
upon order. The beef is on the lean and meatier side, so you can expect a solid
beef flavour with a good bite on it. The gravy is thick and robust; however, I
recommend you try it with the feta cheese. First time I tried this pairing, but
he thick, pungent cheese paired nicely with the steak adding an umami punch to
the steak.

Gin
& Tonic / Non-alcoholic Tonic. Available with Endless Sunday package
that includes the alcohol. The recommended cocktails for the brunch was
Grapefruit G&T, which has a slight refreshing bitterness from the
grapefruit. Meanwhile, I tried the mocktail of Yuzu tonic, that deliver the
refreshing yuzu flavour to pair with my meal.

Pennsylvania
Classic Buttermilk Fried Chicken with condiments. Super crispy and
succulent fried chicken. The buttermilk did its job nicely, creating a crispy
crust and maintain the juiciness of the chicken. The seasoning is very light,
as they expect you to dip the chicken in different types of condiments.

Peking
Duck and Hokkien Style Braised Pork Belly. I totally can’t say NO to Peking
Duck. The crisp aromatic roast duck skin basked with hoisin sauce and wrapped
with Peking Duck pancake skin is just irresistible. I wish the skin is crisper,
or ask for more fillings when you order.

Meanwhile,
I like the soft and fully texture of the steam bun in the “Kong Bak Pau”. A
perfect vessel to carry the Hokkien style braised pork belly. Although the pork
belly seems fatty, the coriander helps to neutralise the “jelakness” from the
pork.

Extensive
Selections of desserts to die for. Starting from a combination of classic
cakes, signature Conrad cakes and also modern cakes with local flavours. Our
picks are Chocolate royal hazelnut cake, Sumatra coffee whole cake (me only),
Chocolate and cremeux tart, and Calamansi & white chocolate cake.

Praline
with mysterious sea salts. The two types of pralines are served with a selection
of 11 types of mysterious sea salts. The idea is to challenge the diners to try
the pralines with the unique flavour of each sea salts. Praline with mala spicy
peppercorn sea salt, well it might happen.
