THE SPREAD of lobsters is quite mind-boggling.
Bisque, tandoori, baked, in fried rice, in the porridge, kam heong style, rolled up in the popiah…it’s quite an unexpected array of claws and shells waiting to be devoured.
J65’s themed buffet dinners are worth the journey to the fringes of the CBD, at Hotel Jen Tanglin.
Wednesday is lobster night, and the buffet is dominated by the orange crustacean done in nearly 20 ways. But for those who want something else, there’s a carvery, chicken sukiyaki, tasty Kerala style prawns, salmon sashimi, pasta and loads of local and Western desserts. Coffee and tea are part of the quite attractive $65++ per head price.
