When:
Sundays from 12 noon to 3pm.
Located on the ground floor of the Pan Pacific
Orchard hotel, 10 Claymore offers a casual Sunday
brunch that seems more geared towards lunch as
it starts at noon – perfect after a bout of shopping
on Orchard Road.
The hot tickets here were the cooked
cold
seafood spread
(Boston lobster, Alaskan crab,
prawns and clams), the
sushi and sashimi
counter
(sliced to order) and the
live oyster shucking
station
. Our hands-down favourite was the tender
USA
Black Angus beef 1855
, cooked à la minute
before you and served with gravy and mustard.
There’s also a hot buffet with
Asian dishes
like
noodles, Cantonese herbal prawns and five-spice
roasted duck, and a
European spread
of gammon
and roast potatoes, pork belly, lamb with Burgundy
mint sauce, salads and a small array of cheeses; a
selection of petite portions are also up for grabs à
la carte (New Zealand lamb rib chop or
char koay
Pan Pacific Orchard
10 Claymore Road

), which is handy when you just want to sit and have a conversation.
If your kids can’t find anything from the buffet that tickles their fancy,
they can order a pasta dish (
spaghetti and meatballs
or
mac and
cheese
) or
fish and chips
from the children’s menu.
Dessert is sure to be a hit with kids and the young at heart – a retro
chocolate fountain
with skewers of marshmallows and fruit kept our
toddler in high spirits. There are
crepes
made to order (the durian
paste had people queuing), peppermint chocolate-chip ice cream,
which youngsters will love topping with rainbow sprinkles (or more
chocolate chips!), and a dessert buffet of mini cheesecakes, brownies,
mango puddings and lemon meringue tarts.
The brunch buffet is $98 including unlimited wine and beer, or $88
without alcohol (but including brewed coffee and Gryphon teas); children
aged five to 12 eat for $44.
Special features:
Although there’s no dedicated space for kids to
run around, children are very welcome at 10 Claymore and, on request,
little ones will get an activity kit to take home, including a book, a toy
and their very own Pan Pacific teddy. High chairs and kids’ cutlery are
also available.
