Breakfast Buffet at Sandbank East Coast Park (Review & Giveaway)
Family time Thursday, March 24, 2016
Media Invite
If you are looking for a venue to spend a weekend morning with your family and have a relaxing breakfast, this is one good place to visit!
Saturday mornings are very precious to us, as it is the only day of the week where we can sleep in longer. Sometimes we make an effort to wake earlier and have a good breakfast while enjoying some family time.
So when I heard of Sandbank's international breakfast buffet, I had to visit! Situated at East Coast Park, it's a good venue to eat at, chill, and still be able to visit the beach, enjoy the sun, the sea and have some fun after breakfast.
Although you won't expect a large variety of food like what you get at hotel breakfast buffets, the simple fare is enough to satisfy. Sandbank's breakfast buffet is also reasonably priced and doesn't cost us an arm or leg to have the whole family dining there. And just for your info, each sitting is a 2-hour session.
Here's why you will like Sandbank's breakfast buffet:
1. You can have breakfast ... as lunch!
Because Sandbank's breakfast buffet is served from 8:30 am to 12 noon, you can sleep in longer, yet still be able to make it for scrambled eggs and bacon close to noon.
2. Eggs, eggs and more eggs
I was pleasantly surprised to see an egg station. An egg station that not only serves the usual types of eggs, they do Eggs Benedict too!
Being an egg lover, L went for this station first, and he was happy with his scrambled eggs.
3. Food, glorious food
With the breakfast buffet line consisting of food from a few cuisines, there is definitely something for everyone!
The speed at which the bacon and chicken wings got wiped out says a lot about the "deliciousness" of the items. I managed to get hold of some bacon and wings, and flew to food heaven after the first bite. Curry chicken for the prata and nasi lemak are worth the calories too! Now ... if only their free flow coffee is as good ...
4. Open, airy feel
Ample natural light from the sun makes your food look good and perfect for Instagramming purposes. The place is generally airy and is just a short distance away from the sea.
5. A 15m plunge pool
Somehow, a pool just draws children to it. While the parents get their me-time, the kids get their morning dose of active play at the pool. There are also public toilet facilities next to the pool for changing.
I read some reviews stating that the pool is quite dirty. I didn't find it so, and upon clarification with a staff, I was told that the pool is cleaned every Tuesday and Friday by professional pool cleaners. So if you are still worried, visit Sandbank the day after the pool is cleaned?
6. Bonus for the men!
The Husband was happy to see sporting events being aired on the TV even in the morning.
Besides having a splashing good time in the plunge pool, the kids were also kept entertained by balloon twisting and glitter tattoo by Weekends Pte Ltd !
