Binge on rice, Korean-style, at this rice cake-centric hotpot buffet. Choose ingredients from various types of rice cakes, deep-fried seaweed rolls stuffed with glass noodles, and fish cake skewers (odeng). The Korean tteokbokki (rice cakes) buffet ($18.80 per pax) works like this: start with a hotpot of spicy rice cakes which you cook with other free-flow nibbles like enoki mushrooms, sausages and boiled eggs. When you’re done, you can opt to have some kimchi fried rice cooked in the same pot using the leftover spicy sauce. If you’re a cheese fiend, get the Double Cheese Ring (see main pic, add $9.80), featuring a moat of molten cheese around the pot in which you dip your ingredients in. Did we mention that you should leave your carb count at the door?

The 27-seater offers 15 types of premium sake from the brewer such as the Ishizuchi Junmai Daiginjo ($86.40 for a 720ml bottle) and the more premium Ishizuchi Daiginjo Daiyuho ($250 for 720ml). Hungry? Munch on Japanese-style tapas such as Chargrilled Unagi skewers ($9 for three).
