The Permata 1-for-1 halal buffet is one of those SG61 deals that quietly outlasted the National Day weekend, and it is still running. Lunch is $44++ per adult against the usual $88++, and dinner is $54++ against $108++, but only until 31 August 2026. If Nusantara flavours in a proper heritage setting are on your list, this is the week to lock in a table.
Permata sits inside Gedung Kuning, the restored Yellow Mansion in Kampong Glam, a few minutes’ walk from Bugis MRT. The building once belonged to Prince Mahmud, the youngest son of the Sultan of Johor, so you are eating inside actual Singapore history rather than a themed dining room. It is the kind of backdrop that makes an ordinary Tuesday dinner feel like an occasion.
What’s in the Permata 1-for-1 Buffet Spread
The buffet is billed as Singapore’s first Nusantara halal spread, and it leans hard into local heritage rather than a generic international line-up. Chef Mel Dean has curated more than 50 dishes under the theme Flavours of the Lion City, tracing everything from hawker classics to Peranakan family recipes.
- Warisan Singapura Nasi Lemak Station and Singapore Chicken Rice
- Ayam Buah Keluak Nyonya Chang, a Peranakan favourite
- DIY stations for Nyonya Laksa and Mee Siam Mamak
- Fusion plates like Butter Chicken Masala Risotto and Otak-Otak Casserole
- Hawker staples including Mee Goreng Seafood, chilli crab and satay
The mix of familiar comfort food and more considered fusion dishes means the buffet works for a big extended family gathering as easily as a quiet date night. Kids get the nasi lemak and chicken rice they already like, while the adults can wander over to the Nyonya Chang and DIY laksa stations.
Booking the 1-for-1 Deal
Reservations are handled through Permata’s SevenRooms page, and given how quickly 1-for-1 buffet slots tend to fill up in the final week before a promotion ends, weekend dinner seatings are the ones to book early. Lunch at $44++ per adult is the gentler option if you are bringing a larger group, since the per-person cost is lower before the 1-for-1 pairing even kicks in.
Prices quoted are per adult and are subject to prevailing service charge and GST, so budget a little above the headline number when you are working out the bill for a big table. The deal is only confirmed valid until 31 August 2026, and Permata has not indicated whether it will be extended.
Why This One’s Worth the Trip
Halal buffet options with genuine heritage weight are not that common in Singapore, and Permata’s setting inside Gedung Kuning does a lot of the heavy lifting here. Pair that with a spread built around actual Singaporean and Peranakan dishes rather than a standard international buffet formula, and the 1-for-1 pricing turns an already interesting meal into a properly good deal.
