Todai- Best Buffet in Singapore?

Another buffet!  I am not a big buffet fan, but many of my friends like it.  Since I am not the organiser, I will go with the flow.  I read about the review before heading, it seems like Todai is a heaven for seafood lover, the irony is that I cannot eat seafood!  Well, I am sure I can find something to eat.

Todai is huge, and divided into many sections.   I did not finish all the food, but I counted there were at least 8 sections:
1.  Sushi
2.  Fresh Seafood & Sashimi
3.  Hot Food Japanese
4.  Hot Food Western
5.  Italian
6.  Korean
7.  BBQ - Beef, chicken, Sweet potatoes (amazing good, though a bit dumb to eat sweet potatoes in a buffet)
8.  Japanese Live Station - Udon etc
9.  Chinese
10.  Dessert
11.  Free flow drinks

I started my dinner with the Sushi section.  Lots of selection, and they looked beautiful!




 I then made my way to the most popular section of the restaurant where Singaporeans were fighting for the seafood.  There were fresh oysters, crabs, octopus, prawns, mussels..I think half the ocean creatures were there.  I could not eat, so I could not judge, but they did look very fresh and tasty.




I could eat mussels, cooked in lime and wine.
Escargots!  Baked in cheese, yummy.

Korean Corner:
Selection of desserts was amazing.  I could not remember their names, but I did sample most of them.









Todai also has this practice of a free cake and a polaroid photo for your table.  Not as classic as Morton's but it was good gesture.  They also had a Chilli Eating Competition.  The contestants had to wolf down bowls of spicy noodles to win tickets to Rain concert.  Many of them were in tears and red eye as they ate the noodles. 

Complimentary cake
At $58+++ per person, may not be the cheapest dinner.  But if you are a big eater, and enjoy seafood, it is definitely worth the visit, especially in big groups where you can stay and eat as long as you want. 
But do not expect Michellin Chef standard.
