Yi Zi Wei, in Peace Centre, is a buffet town. This 6-in-1 buffet concept restaurant has steamboat, barbecue, Korean army stew, lok lok, mala xiang guo as well as mala soup. With a free flow of meat and seafood, Yi Zi Wei is every buffet fanatic’s dream come true.

Their buffet lunch goes for just $19.90+ for adults, and $9.90+ for kids(from 11am to 3pm daily), and the buffet dinner is priced at $29.90+ for adults and $15.90 for kids(from 3pm to 11pm).

Bring your appetite and an empty stomach and enjoy their 6-in-1 buffet to the fullest (pun intended)!

We started with the barbecue! Each table is outfitted with a barbecue burner. You can select the steamboat soup base and pick different types of marinated meats from the menu. The meats arrived just as the gas grill warmed up. The meats were cut wafer thin and were done in seconds. Our favorites were the beef ribeye and pork collar; both were lovely well-marbled cuts that have been marinated in a sweet sauce.

Four Heavenly King is Yi Zi Wei’s signature meat platter. It features four types of marinated pork — mala, honey, Si Fang, and black pepper. The pork belly strips were juicy and retained the flavours surprisingly well. We savoured our meats without the need for additional dips.

Other meat options such as fragrance pork, beef in beer, enokitake pork belly, chicken mid joints, curry chicken, fennel mutton, are available as well. There is no right way to enjoy Korean barbecue. But if you prefer, you can bundle the meat into lettuce and kimchi, and pair with garlic and gochujang sauce.

While waiting for the meats to be barbecued, you can start working on the hotpot. There’s nothing quite like having everyone gathered around a steaming pot of food, taking turns to cook, and enjoying the aromas wafting through the air, while catching up with friends and family.

Head over to the buffet display corner where the servers will help you with the vegetables, fresh meat and seafood. With that many choices, you will probably get overly excited so be careful not to overfill your pot. There are also complimentary banchan appetizers (daikon, kimchi, cucumbers and seaweed) and you can concoct your own sauces.

For the soup base, you get to choose two from three offerings – chicken soup, tomato soup, and spicy mala soup.

Some ingredients should be held with your chopsticks as they cook in the pot, so that you can see that they’re ready. The pork belly slices are in this category. They are sliced thinly, so cooking them is not a problem.

During dinner time, you get more seafood options such as mussels, clams, and prawns. The whole prawns will be tender and running with juices after just over a minute in the steaming pot.

Yi Zi Wei also offers lok lok which allows you to simmer your favourite skewers. Skewers are the hassle-free part about lok lok which I really enjoy, as my ingredients wouldn’t get lost at the bottom of the pot.

Don’t forget to dip your meat and vegetables into their sauces. The rather decent selection of condiments includes chili padi, sesame sauce, green onion, cilantro, soya sauce, chilli paste and more.

There’s so much food, so pace yourself, and don’t forget the Army Stew! The broth is rich, robust, and flavourful. It actually gets quite addictive after a few mouthfuls.

You can also go for the mala xiang guo, a spicy, numbing stir-fried medley of vegetables and meats. For a mellower version, try the mala tang food where the ingredients are scalded in hot water before being combined in a broth. The broth leaves a tingling sensation on your tongue but it is nowhere near numbing, so don’t worry if you aren’t good with spicy food. Get a glass of refreshing calamansi juice to go along with this shiok dish!

Yi Zi Wei is perfect for gatherings with your loved ones, whether it’s a special occasion just a catch-up session!
