My Ramblings...
The most value for money buffet in Singapore.
This is also the place to bring foreigners to sample local cuisine.

Would recommend to try their dinner buffet rather than brunch.
Usually, the spread for brunch is better but in the case of Straits Cafe, this is the opposite.

As for the cost of the buffet, this is approximately SGD 45 per person.
