It’s worth to try. The theme of the buffet now is Oktoberfest. High CP Value. The food is ok especially with 50% off discount. At least, they got the chocolate fountain and some desserts, ice cream, and pancakes. Nice to have tea, coffee, milo and hot chocolate. Only one thing to say is “there are quite some fruits flies flying around”

This is my second visit to Food Capital @ Grand Copthorne Waterfront was a delightful experience with my family on lunch. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by friendly staff, and the setting was clean and inviting. The servers were attentive and quick to clear plates, and they ensured that guests had everything they needed. The overall buffet offered great value for money. We left satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit. Currently in the September theme, we still preferred Durian Fiesta SG60 special (BEST!!!) during August (no more)
