Peppermint at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay presents a halal-certified buffet that combines international and Asian flavours. This garden-themed restaurant offers a refreshing dining experience with its ever-evolving thematic menus — currently featuring Southern Italian & Mediterranean Specialties for both lunch and dinner. This seasonal buffet menu is available from now until 12 May 2025.
Southern Italian and Mediterranean-themed Buffet Spread
Curated by Chef de Cuisine Leon Yee and his talented culinary team, the Southern Italian and Mediterranean dinner spread is a vibrant showcase of bold flavours. Chef Leon helms the kitchen at Peppermint, bringing both precision and creativity to the table — his impressive accolades include multiple gold medals at international culinary competitions like FHA Singapore and the Luxembourg EEXPOGAST World Cup.
This buffet is available for lunch (from $78++ per pax) and dinner (from $98++ per pax). We went for their buffet dinner and below are some of the buffet dinner highlights.

It is quite a huge buffet spread so you will definitely get to try a lot of dishes in one seating. It is best to pace yourself because Peppermint is one of the best halal-certified buffet restaurants in Singapore.
Seafood Island
The cold seafood section was a refreshing start to the meal, with fresh oysters and sweet, juicy lobster meat that stood out. The scallops may not be as fresh and hence lacking the slightly sweet taste of fresh seafood. There were lemon wedges and sauces like sriracha to go along with the cold seafood.
Agnella Alla Lucana Basilicata Style Lamb Stew
From the Italian section, the Agnella Alla Lucana is an intriguing dish featuring tender lamb simmered in a creamy, flavourful jus. The lamb’s mild taste makes it approachable even for those who are not usually fans of gamey meats.
Ciambotta Italian Summer Vegetable Stew
We finally got to try Ciambotta — that ratatouille-style dish from the movie, and it didn’t disappoint. The tangy sweetness of the tomato-based stew paired nicely with the tender meat, and the subtle hint of cucumber gave it a refreshing lift that made the medley of vegetables surprisingly enjoyable.
Roasted Cauliflower
The Roasted Cauliflower was a pretty standard but well-executed dish — nicely roasted with a slight crunch. A sprinkle of spices on top added just enough flavour to keep it interesting without overpowering the natural taste of the cauliflower.
Pastas
One of the highlights at Peppermint is the freshly made pasta station, where you can simply let the chef know which pasta you’d like to try. Each serving comes in a small portion, perfect for sampling different dishes without feeling too full.
Crab Ravioli
The Crab Ravioli is definitely a must-try if it is available during your visit. Part of the rotating pasta menu, this luxurious dish features freshly made ravioli, soft and delicate, stuffed with generous shreds of subtly sweet crab meat balanced with a light saltiness. It is served with tender chickpeas that add a tangy twist, making each bite both comforting and flavourful. As this pasta is not available every day, do call ahead to check if it will be on the menu when you dine.
Orecchiete Alla Norma
The Orecchiette Alla Norma stood out with its chewy, al dente texture and unique pasta shape that held the sauce beautifully. The tomato-based sauce was tangy with just a hint of sweetness, giving the dish a bright and slightly zesty flavour profile.
Seafood Risotto
The Seafood Risotto had a soft, comforting texture. With a creamy tomato-like base, each small portion was sweet, tangy, and slightly sour, with subtle seafood umami and little prawns tucked within.
Fresh Pasta Alla Bava
The Fresh Pasta Alla Bava was al dente with a smooth, slightly creamy sauce that wasn’t too heavy, carrying a gentle hint of truffle fragrance, which added a touch of indulgence to this simple dish.
Desserts
Conclude your Italian-themed dining experience with some classic Italian dishes like Tiramisu Gateau, Delizia al Limone and Apple Crostata with Toffee Sauce. For a refreshing finish, you can indulge in their homemade Lemon Gelato, complemented by Lemon-infused Urban Farm Herb Oil and Sea Salt.
Tiramisu Gateau
The Tiramisu Gateau featured light, fluffy cream, though the sponge base was a tad too moist for us.
Our Verdict
Peppermint exudes calm, airy vibes with its spacious layout and large tables. The open kitchen concept adds a lively touch, letting you watch as dishes are freshly prepared before your eyes. Though the buffet area is not massive, it is thoughtfully laid out with well-organised sections featuring a variety of cuisines — ranging from Indian, Japanese, and local delights to fresh seafood, salads, cheese, and of course, the seasonal Italian spread. It is definitely enough to keep you satisfied without feeling overwhelmed. Highlights from this seasonal menu for us are the Puglia Lamb Cutturiedde (Lamb Stew) and various types of pastas.
While Peppermint’s buffet leans on the pricier side, it is worth it for the quality of ingredients and the thoughtful execution behind each dish. As a halal-certified buffet in a convenient location at Marina Bay, it is an easy and reliable pick for gatherings with friends or colleagues.
Peppermint is a farm-to-table restaurant and they are committed to using sustainably sourced ingredients, including fresh vegetables from their Urban Farm. Some of the fresh produce is harvested and used in the kitchen. Just be sure to visit the garden before sunset, as it gets quite dim at night and you might miss out on the little details.
*Peppermint’s buffet stations and kitchen are halal-certified. Do note that the spread featured in this post is their buffet dinner.
