Aptly named after the hotel's address, 333 Orchard Road , Triple 3 Buffet Restaurant is a landmark in the Meritus Mandarin hotel. Allow your tongue to travel across continents with the massive international buffet spread. Featuring cross-cultural dishes from Japan , China , Italy , USA , German and many more, experience the world at your fingertips within the confines of this cozy dining restaurant. With such a delightful buffet spread, one is spoilt for choice, as he selects from the scrumptious array of salads, breads, meats and desserts.

• The Vibe
  The warm, milky strains of moonlight filter through the massive glass windows, casting a rosy glow upon the dining area. Custom wrought iron chandeliers throw a fancy confetti of sparkling lights on the floor and the tables, giving the restaurant a bright and cheery appearance. Brick and terra-cotta wall and floor tiles exude a casual elegance, laden with charming Mediterranean influences. Laid-back and chic, Triple 3 exudes a simplicity that is classy and yet unimposing.

• The Food
  Prepare yourself for the memorable flight as you take your senses on a ride. Your gastronomical tour begins with the starters and the salads. Take off with the colorful palette of entrees such as the salmon sashimi , chicken rice sushi , chilli soba noodles , salmon rilettes, oyster shooters , udon with teriyaki chicken and many more.

  A smorgasbord of signature offerings awaits mid-flight. The succulent honey-glazed ham , the fragrant ginger beef with garlic and sake wine sauce , plump sauté mussels with vegetables in white wine cream sauce , and the crispy, juicy pan roasted spring chicken in cabernet cassia , absolutely bursting with rich flavor. Choose from a wide range of in-flight entertainment. Perhaps the fresh rock oysters or the creamy lobster bisque soup for the seafood lover, the rosemary roasted pumpkin with tea smoke duck breast for the meat lover, and the chocolate fondue, with fruit and sweet dough complements, for the chocolate addict.

  Before touch down, surrender your senses and indulge in the positively sinful selection of desserts and sweets . Spicy-sweet gingerbread mousse to tickle your tastebuds , a Venetian rice delight, decadent durian puffs , bread-and-butter pudding and a delectable, nectarous pear lattice , with swirls of chocolate mousse embedded within make a sweet, memorable ending!

• The Service
  What flight is complete without good service? Like any five-star hotel, prompt and impeccable service is afforded to all its guests.

The SD Food Advisor's take on Triple 3, The Buffet Restaurant
Triple 3, the buffet restaurant, offers one of the most extensive and irresistible buffets spreads in town. An oasis of gastronomical treasures located within the Mandarin Hotel, this restaurant offers the ultimate adventure for the global foodie. The dark chocolate fondue, draped luxuriously, like dark velvet over fruits, makes a captivating end to the meal.
The only problem is that, with the immense selection, finding the starting point is difficult, and it is almost impossible to finish combing through all these goodies within one dinner sitting. The wide variety of international dishes serve to satisfy a diversity of tastes and preferences but may overwhelm an unpredictable palate. Menu changes bi-weekly, so regulars will never tire of the food. Traveling around the world seldom looked this good.
