Even though it is approaching the end of 2012, there are still many budget buffet gems out there where people will rush just to have a taste of what those budget buffets are serving. This article will be talking about some of the best budget buffets located in Singapore for the year 2012.

1. Ssikkek BBQ Buffet

As an explorer of many cultures, the Korean culture to me is one of the most riveting ones. It is no exception that their food are very good too. That is why their Korean Barbecue Buffets are so famous in the world, spanning in areas from the United States to Singapore.

The Ssikkek BBQ Buffet is one of the best BBQ Buffet that you can have in Singapore. It is so much better than Seoul Garden, nowadays a knock-off of authentic Korean Budget Buffets in Singapore. Ssikkek offers a variety of marinated meats, from beef to chicken. They cut their meats properly and with a no nonsense manner; each meat is thin enough for it to melt into the customer's mouth but thick enough to be filling. A normal lunch buffet will have 5 types of meat - 2 different types of pork, 2 different types of chicken and 1 different type of beef like bacon or bulgogi. Their dinner buffet is more varied, with more types of meats and more ala-carte dishes for you to choose from.

It is no wonder that Ssikkek is widespread all over Singapore, with restaurants in the heart of Chinatown, Novena, Tampines Mall, Bras Basah and Tanjong Pagar. A dinner meal cost approximately 25 Singapore dollar. You will not go wrong with their Chinatown branch as it has one of the best service and Ssikkek is a trusted Korean BBQ Buffet brand by Singaporeans with an eye to their wallet.

2. Crystal Jade Xiao Long Bao Buffet

Crystal Jade has established itself as one of the top restaurants in Singapore in the past few years and it may come to a few as a surprise that they have a steamboat buffet dinner snuck snuggly inside of Holland Village. It offers steamboat buffet with all of its dishes with a twist - free flow of Xiao long bao.

Xiao long bao, or soup dumplings, originated from Shanghai where chefs wrap pork inside of dough and fill it with tasty broth and steam it using a bamboo basket. The soup dumplings will taste delicious if done right and Crystal Jade is one of the few that still carries one of the best soup dumplings in all of Singapore and South East Asia.

You have a chance to choose from five soup bases, with Pig Bone Soups to Spicy Mala Soups to your liking. There is also an assortment of ingredients which you can choose from unlike other steamboat buffets where you will need to physically pick the ingredients that you want. They have 50 ingredients which you put into the soup, from ox tripe to ordinary foods like sliced beef and pork.

You can choose from their 3 drinks, Coke, Chinese Tea and Barley. It is one of the best budget buffets around Singapore as for their unbeatable price of around 25 dollars, you can get to enjoy the night view of Holland Village with delicious food served up to your table.
