The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore Announces Official Opening of New Buffet Restaurant -- Colony

Embark on a Culinary Journey Through Singapore's Heritage Cuisines at Colony, a New Buffet Restaurant in Marina Bay


SINGAPORE--(Marketwired - Nov 2, 2015) - Colony, a new buffet restaurant located on level three of The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore, is now open.

Colony alludes to the seafarious voyage that the British took to travel to the East Indies for trade and commerce in the late eighteenth century. An essence of urban living, the elegant British-colonial charm of the buffet restaurant is characterized by an eclectic mix of vintage and custom-made furniture featuring tartan and houndstooth prints, alongside touches of modernity, while old maps, photographs and postcards adorn the walls and partitions, evoking the nostalgia of a bygone era.

Eight different conservatory kitchens, helmed by 'live' culinary showmanship, detail a food narrative of the culinary journey and heritage that transformed Singapore, which gave its cuisine a sense of identity. Incorporating various cooking techniques, each 'live' kitchen showcases the best of Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, Malaysian, Western and local dishes, bringing diners on a culinary journey through Singapore's heritage cuisines.

1. The Ice Bar - A variety of crustaceans on ice, salads, cold cuts and cheeses
Highlights: King crab legs, half shell scallops, black mussels and poached 'live' prawns

In the afternoons, entertain family and friends at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore over a traditional British-style three-tier afternoon tea set in Colony, a treat that English high society similarly enjoyed back in the early 19th century. At Colony, the afternoon tea experience is elevated with the addition of a flute of Moët & Chandon Brut Imperial Champagne served from a magnum.

Wind down in the evenings by opting to enjoy a personalized table-side experience where Colony's resident mixologist will handcraft specialty cocktails such as, "Long Journey", "Bengal Brew" and "Governor's Invitation", concocted to mirror the passage taken from Great Britain to the East Indies (Available from SGD 22 per glass).
