Your favourite international buffet haunts may be closed during Phase 2 of post-Circuit Breaker, but a la carte buffet restaurants have reopened (yay!). 

Like most self-professed foodies in Singapore, the one thing that made everything feel better during Circuit Breaker was the fact that you could get your favourite food delivered from your preferred restaurant, cafe or hawker. Great as that was and still is, sometimes all you really want is to dine out and have the option for unlimited servings of sashimi, grilled beef or sizzling pork belly. 

Thankfully, with Phase 2, that can now be a reality. Whatever your food cravings may be, satisfy them at one of these 7 a la carte restaurants the next time you head out with your family or friends.
