Description: With creativity and imagination we have transformed the dining experience. Chefs in show kitchens present a multi-cultural cooking theatre. At any time of the day select from cuisine ranging giant baskets of fruits bring bursts of colour; the wine bar itself is a vivid backlit pink. The space is transitionary, designed for changing moods from muted to energetic up to the fresh and airy garden views. You could dine here every night of the week and the only similarity in experience would be the excellent quality of the food.

The Melt at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel by far as one of the best international breakfast buffets. We have had both business meetings and casual dining at this hotel and would recommend to both vacationers and business colleagues.

Selection of food and buffet spread was fantastic - local, japanese, indian, mediterranean, thai, western, local desserts, cakes, juices. The manager and wait staff were attentive and friendly. Let them know if you are celebrating a special occasion. Overall a very pleasant buffet dinner experience.

Had breakfast here and it was amazing. So much choice! Food was very good and they even make waffles on request and scrambled eggs/omelets. Lots of fresh fruit, fruit juices and you could choose from different types of breakfasts (english, indian etc). Highly recommend it, although it was a bit overpriced.

Went here two times; both were really good. First time I had the buffé and my mom had the a la carte and she was brought appetizer and dessert without ordering it because the staff wanted her to be able to eat while I was pigging out on the buffé only to find out that they thought I had eaten...

We just went down for a coffee and were overwhelmed with offers of food. Staff seemed so worried that we did not want to eat but in the end tempted us with some small muffins. Our son arrived and ordered breakfast. Next thing a fresh fruit platter arrived and then finally his breakfast of salmon bagels and a salad! The... More

The food is fresh and of excellent quality. I ate here for over 3 years when staying at the MO on business and more recently having become a resident of Singapore... More

Went to melt on last evening of holiday totally beautiful food beautifully presented. So many choices difficult to know where to start! The only problem is getting full to quickly . If you do not eat any where else in Singapore make sure you eat here!
