The rich, tangy, and spicy gravy pairs perfectly with their fragrant Blue Pea Coconut Rice. Other weekend dinner exclusives include Singapore Chilli Slipper Lobster, Poached Soy Chicken, and Angelica Roasted Duck.
Seafood & Japanese Staples (Available Daily)
Kick off your feast at the Seafood on Ice station featuring Tiger Prawns, Whelks, White Clams, Green Mussels, and Scallops (dinner only). The Japanese counter offers a fresh selection of Salmon, Tuna, and Octopus sashimi to satisfy your cravings.
Authentic Peranakan Favourites
This is what Ellenborough is famous for. Do not miss out on their hearty Nyonya classics:
- Ayam Buah Keluak: A complex, earthy chicken stew that is an absolute staple in Nyonya households.
- Babi Pongteh (Babi Cho Coo): Melt-in-your-mouth braised pork.
- DIY Singapore Nyonya Laksa: Whip up your own bowl of rich, coconut-based broth topped with fresh prawns.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is there a 1-for-1 buffet promotion at Ellenborough Market Café?
While there isn’t an explicitly marketed “1-for-1” deal, the current 50% off total food bill promotion with Citi, DBS/POSB, and UOB cards offers the exact same mathematical value, effectively making it half-price for your entire dining party.
How can I get a discount if I don’t have the participating credit cards?
If you do not hold a Citi, DBS/POSB, or UOB card, you can still enjoy up to 50% off your buffet bill by booking through the Eatigo platform. However, note that the 50% discount on Eatigo usually applies to off-peak dining timings (such as 1:30 PM for lunch or 8:30 PM for dinner).
How do I make a reservation for these buffet deals?
For Credit Card Deals (Citi, DBS, UOB): You must reserve directly with the hotel by emailing dining@paradoxsingapore.com or calling +65 6239 1847. Remember to quote your specific card promotion during booking.
For Eatigo Deals: You must secure your time slot directly via the Eatigo website or mobile app. The hotel will not honour Eatigo discounts for walk-ins or direct phone bookings.
Do kids dine for free at Ellenborough Market Café?
Yes, children aged 5 years old and under dine for free. Child pricing (which is significantly lower than adult pricing) applies to children aged 6 to 12 years old.
Is the buffet halal-certified?
No, Ellenborough Market Café is not Halal-certified as they serve pork dishes (such as Babi Pongteh and Babi Cho Coo) as part of their authentic Peranakan menu.
