Feast On Chicken Wings, Free Milkshakes And More At This Family-Friendly Spot
Indulge in local and international delights at Ellenborough Market Café this month
With relaxed social-distancing restrictions and the March school holidays right around the corner, there’s no better time to take the whole family out for a delicious meal. But it can be tricky to find a restaurant that’ll make everyone happy – especially if you have to cater to kids (or even adults) that are picky eaters.
For the ideal choice, look no further than Ellenborough Market Café at Swissôtel Merchant Court. This fun and family-friendly establishment offers scrumptious à la carte lunch and dinner buffets throughout the entire week. Rather than have to limit yourself to just one type of cuisine, you can select from a range of tasty Peranakan, local and international fare made with fresh ingredients and time-honoured recipes – so even the most selective diners in your family are sure to find something to whet their appetite!
From flavourful chicken wings to a special school-holidays menu to this month’s milkshake promotion, here’s why Ellenborough Market Café should be the top pick for your next family meal out.
Have a family with diverse tastes? Ellenborough Market Café has you covered with the plethora of dishes that are available as part of their à la carte lunch and dinner buffets.
Appetisers include the likes of buckwheat soba noodles with shredded tamago, tofu and goma dressing; apple salad with walnuts and balsamic raisins; and sashimi. Those who love Peranakan food can tuck into ayam buah keluak (braised chicken in tamarind gravy), babi pongteh (Nyonya-style braised pork) and chap chye (mixed vegetable stew); while fans of western cuisine should make a beeline for the carving station for some crispy pork knuckle with velvety mashed potato and jus. And for dessert, you can feast on New York cheesecake, assorted Nyonya sweet treats and seasonal fresh fruits.
The lunch buffet is priced at $58++ per adult and $29++ per child, while the dinner buffet is priced at $78++ per adult and $39++ per child. Do note that prior reservations are required, so be sure to call ahead to book your seating.
Given that it’s the long-awaited school holidays this month, Ellenborough Market Café is offering an expanded children’s menu for both lunch and dinner from 12 to 20 March 2022. The additional items feature crowd-favourite nosh such as chicken shepherd’s pie, fish and chips, mini beef burgers, fishball noodles and spring rolls. These complement existing dishes including mac and cheese, baked chicken tenders and pasta with marinara sauce. One thing’s for sure – your kids aren’t going to leave hungry!
While some hotel restaurants tend to feel a bit too stuffy or formal for a regular family outing, Ellenborough Market Café has a chic and casual ambience that will make everyone feel right at home. The expansive 150-seater venue is nestled along the banks of the picturesque Singapore River, and comes equipped with high ceilings and a colourful, bright and breezy interior.
Although everything on the menu is worth sampling, be sure to save some stomach space for the juicy, richly seasoned chicken wings. This must-try dish is available in three mouth-watering flavours. There’s the Garlic & Floss option, where the chicken wings are coated with garlic crisp, chicken floss and almond flakes; as well as the popular Salted Egg flavour. And those who want a classic American version can opt for the Texas BBQ: chicken wings dunked in a sweet BBQ sauce and served with blue cheese crumbles and scallions. The best part? It’s a buffet, so you can try them all.
Everyone loves a creamy, decadent milkshake. And if you dine at Ellenborough Market Café from 12 to 20 March 2022, the kids get one for free! As part of the outlet’s school-holidays special, a complimentary one-time serving of a Monster Milkshake will be offered to diners who are 16 years old and below.
Kids can take their pick from three varieties. There’s the Madness Chocolate Shake (chocolate-frosted rim with chocolate chips topped with a chocolate brownie, whipped cream and cotton candy); the Peanut Butter Shake (chocolate-frosted rim with chocolate gems topped with mini pretzel rods, chocolate, whipped cream and cotton candy); and the Strawberry Shake (vanilla-frosted rim with strawberry freeze, chocolate pearls topped with lollipop, rock candy, whipped cream and cotton candy).
