[Invited tasting by Todai and HGW]
If you are looking for a sumptuous spread of buffet, in particular korean buffet, you should never miss Todai located conveniently at Marina Bay Sands. Though labelled as ‘Korean’ Buffet, Todai is actually a buffet restaurant packed with an enticing selection of Seafood and International cuisine.
Todai introduces 12 sections in their buffet line, some of which are Churrasco, tepanyaki, sashimi, Korean cuisine, Japanese sushi and Chinese cooked food.

Indeed, Todai has unveiled a new menu consisting free flow of Sea Eel BBQ, Abalone Ginseng Chicken Soup and ala carte Alaskan King Crab that are simply irresistible. The local and international choices are aplenty at the buffet too.
Todai also has function rooms for birthday parties, corporate dinner etc.
And also a large number of seats, so do not worry about the lack of seats.

| My favourite of the night, Volcano |
The volcano actually resembles the Shiok Maki from Koh Grill.
 |
| Miso Shisamo with Gratin Sauce |
 |
| Fish Fillet |
Todai also attempt creative ways to prepare their dishes, such as steaming the red crabs unlike how other restaurants would normally do
And of course, the free flow of Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup that are forever running out because it’s a wholesome bowl of nutrients from the Ginseng, Chestnut, Ginkgo nut that are all from Korea.
Brace yourself for a flavour explosion as your savour the Ginseng Chicken Soup, packed with an extremely succulent and chewy baby abalone.

My other favorite section at Todai is none other than the Churrasco section.
The Churrasco section has a wide variety of meat for you to enjoy as well.

Most of the meat are prepared to medium rare. You can actually request for a longer simmer if you do not prefer meat that are too raw.
One of the recommendation by the Todai’s management is their specialty – Korean Fish Pancake
 |
| Sea Eel BBQ |
Hands down to the juicy and meaty Sea Eel BBQ. The Sea Eel taste great as it is coated with tasty BBQ sauce, but I personally didn’t like how it was packed with soft and tiny fish bone although it is consumable.
Apparently, restaurants over at Korean would display fresh and much much bigger squid on the seafood section. Not sure if Singaporeans would be scared away by this!

| Fried Sea Cucumber Mushroom Broccoli |
 |
| Alaskan King Crab |
The star of the night is the salty yet juicy Alaskan King Crab.
 |
| Specially imported Korean Abalone paired with fresh broccoli. |
 |
| Special device to enjoy to Alaskan King Crabs. |
| Don’t forget to save room for the dessert. Half of it are delectable delicacies but some of it are really nothing much to rave about.

| Some of the worthy dessert to try are New York Cheesecake, Mango cheesecake and Strawberry Cheesecake |
