J65 Review: Free-Flow Lobster Dinner Buffet At Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore by Shangri-La

Singaporeans are not short of options when it comes to hotel buffets. J65 at Hotel Jen Tanglin is now having a Lobster Rock n Roll Buffet on Wednesday nights, which gives you an unlimited supply of seafood including 10 lobster dishes, sashimi, crabs and more.

Food at J65 Enjoy their Two-to-Go Dinners when you dine in with a friend , and have the lobster-themed feast with a friend at $148++ for two (U.P. $176++ for two). The buffet offers 10 different lobster dishes at each time, ranging from Western-style creations to familiar Asian classics such as Singapore Chilli-Style Lobster and Black Pepper Lobster .

Needless to say, the Singapore Chilli-style Lobster and Black Pepper Lobster are my favourite of the bunch. Get your hands on as many fried mantou buns as you wish, to mop up the sweet and eggy chilli sauce.

Combining the Boston lobster with the sauce, the rich flavour of the luxury crustacean became even more pronounced. Those who relish in spicy food would enjoy the piquant Black Pepper Lobster as well as the Asian Percik-Style Lobster instead.

The latter is nicely coated in a thick layer of sauce made from coconut milk, turmeric, lemongrass, and other spices. The Grilled Baby Lobster infused in tarragon butter is also well worth your attention. Prepared à la minute by a chef at the live station, be impressed by the theatrics as the baby lobsters are grilled on a hot pan, smoking from the addition of savoury melted butter.

Have it with the sliced garlic bread garnish or gather more fried mantou as a vessel for the sauce. If your Wednesday nights are reserved for ladies’ night at a club, J65 also has an International Seafood Buffet available on Thursdays. Sundays, an Asian Seafood Buffet on Tuesdays, and a Seafood BBQ Buffet on Mondays.

In addition under the Two-to-Go Dinners promo, indulge in a different yet equally value-for-money spread at $88++ for two (U.P. $116++ for two) on the International Seafood Buffet and Asian Seafood Buffet, and $108++ for two (U.P. $136++ for two) on the Seafood BBQ Buffet. The buffets on Friday and Saturday have a cold seafood section serving Boston Lobsters ! For me, there’s no denying the appeal of a dessert table that has a good mix of Asian desserts and cakes.

Ambience at J65 Located at the tip of Orchard Road , right beside Tanglin Mall, Hotel Jen isn’t somewhere I’d usually venture to. There is ample seating, the service is attentive, and the ambience is charming.

The verdict Whether you’re on a “see food” or seafood diet, J65’s Lobster Rock n Roll Buffet and International Seafood Buffet will satisfy your hunger without putting a huge dent on your wallet. The dishes were outstanding, and having all-you-can-eat lobster cooked 10 ways had me vowing to return.
