Endless Sunday Brunch

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.

After spending about 3 hours at Endless Sunday Brunch, we probably only manage to try less than half of the spread. If you are looking for a superb Sunday Brunch experience, we strongly recommend Endless Sunday Brunch at Oscar's.

If unlimited foie gras, Alaskan crab, oysters from across the globe and grilled lobster send you to seventh heaven, you'll experience gastronomic nirvana at our buffet brunch.

Roll up your sleeves and abandon yourself to the joy of tucking into the seafood royalty – Alaskan Crab. A true treasure, the soft delicious meat simply melts in your mouth. More seafood galore awaits for you at our outdoor charcoal grill in the form of rock lobster marinated with a blend of Creole spice cooked to perfection and moreish garlicky jumbo clams.

Staying true to the nation’s love affair with oysters our chefs have procured these aphrodisiac snacks from Australia, Canada, France, Ireland and Scotland. A drizzle of our special shallot vinegar only further enhance the mineral flavour from the oysters to create a lovely sweetness on your palate.

If you just can’t resist the silky delights of foie gras, you are in luck as our chefs will also be dishing out endless pan fried foie gras complimented with a yuzu gel and slow roast fig. Yummy is the word! Making a grand debut is our chef’s duck ragout crêpe finished with port wine berry jus.

Tickle your taste buds with the bold flavours and tantalising spices of our new mala stir-fry live station. Not for the faint-hearted, experiment and choose from a selection of fresh ingredients before our chef cooks up the dish in accordance to your preference.

What’s more, we have signature egg dishes and sliders of the day cooked a la minute at the live stations.
