Parade of Singaporean Flavors at Seven Corners, Crowne Plaza ~Rina


Seven Corners

        Crowne Plaza is very special to me and Richie because this is where we had our wedding reception. Ballroom B,C,D,E. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a beautiful wedding! We stayed at the bridal suite that night, and I still remember the first thing I told Richie the morning after the wedding. I woke up at around 9AM, and I panicked and told Richie "WAKE UP MAGSASARA NA YUNG BREAKFAST BUFFET!!!" (Wake up the breakfast buffet's about to close!). And with that, we freshened up and rushed to the breakfast buffet in Seven Corners.



Seven Corners Singaporean Flavors

        Just this weekend, we had a relaxing staycation at Crowne Plaza, and had the privilege of dining again in 7 Corners but this time for their Parade of Singaporean Flavors. And it's truly one of the best and authentic Singaporean buffet spread that I really enjoyed!

        The brilliant chef behind the Parade of Singaporean Flavors is Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium Executive Chef Chua Yew Hock who flew all the way here to share his culinary masterpiece . His 30 years of culinary experience is apparent in the taste of his delicious dishes. If you want to try it too (and I believe you should), you better hurry because this runs only until March 13! 

Seven Corners

        It was weird but this was one of those nights where I was so excited to eat! So enough introduction and let's start with the food!


chicken rice

The first thing I went for is the Chicken Rice. 
Soft with subtle chicken stock flavors! 

Steamed Chicken

        And then of course the Steamed Chicken. I love the simple comfort it gave my starving tummy. And a perfect pair with the Chicken Rice!

Singapore Laksa

        My next meal was the Laksa. This is the Laksa station. I have been craving for Lakasa for quite some time now and I'm so happy that this was the first laksa that touched my mouth after my craving. It blew me away! 

Singapore Laksa

        The moment I tasted it, I could feel and taste the intense heat, but at the same time the coconut taste was fighting back with the same intensity! It was really an amazing burst of intense flavors in my mouth. The whole time I was eating it my mind was like "oooh that's spicy... but it's so good... but its so spicy... but its so addicting...". I had 2 bowls! And I'm not at all sorry!

Singapore Teh Tarik

        After all that laksa, I felt I needed something to wash off the heat, and the Singapore Teh Tarik was the perfect solution! Served warm!

Other Singaporean dishes in Seven Corners include...
