Brunch is Singapore is a cultural thing. It is more than a state of mind, it is a magnificent display of gluttony, excellence, quality, and a public display of spoiled aristocracy … and it is wonderful! Now … after all that build up, I should say that we’ve probably spent as much $$ at a NYC brunch … and it would definitely be more for the same value in the 212. But Brunch in Singapore is … well, a must-do.
What is it? Each of the big hotels put on a brunch buffet for about $100 per person with free-flow champagne. (Did I have you at free-flow, brunch, or $100?) Of course, with the rents in town, the place to go for the brunch experience was clear. No, not the place with the Veuve Clicquot on tap … The Conrad hotel!
It was fantastic. We arrived at noon-ish and were the last people to leave at around 3:30. The spread is amazing, pictures coming soon once dad sends them my way… but I’ll try to describe in words. There were about 5 stations: cold seafood — with everything from 2 kinds of lobster, various shrimps, sushis and sashimis and rolls, salmon and lox, muscles, oysters … it just went on and on and was definitely dad’s favorite part; hot foods like curries, stir fries, freshly sauted fois gras, pastas, and roast beef; there was a fresh juice bar; there was a noodle bar with local soups like laksa and spicy tom yum; and then there was the desserts … mountains and piles of pies, cakes, ices, and petit fours… mmm … I can still taste it all.
It was a wonderful Sunday. If you ever make it to Singapore, plan to come on a Sunday and stay for the brunch!!

I can’t believe that no one has commented yet on this brunch! I am still savoring the moments we shared…the abundance of so many special treats… and our ability to gracefully use chopsticks. Do SAVE and make this a Sunday MUST DO when you visit S’pore! You will not be disappointed.
Conrad…get ready to treat your taste buds…and do go to brunch at the CONRAD feeling hungry
