Come Thursday, Friday and Saturday in October, the expansive buffet dinner spread at Edge gets even more extensive as master butcher chef Haiko Mayer presents the “Tastes of Germany” featuring savoury German favourites, such as Bavarian beer cheese soup served with pretzels and bacon, Bratkartoffeln (pan-fried potatoes), pork knuckle, slow-cooked lamb sauerbraten, along with sweet treats of crème bavarois, Berliner, apple strudel and black forest cake.

Diners partaking in this Oktoberfest buffet (6pm to 10pm) can also celebrate with a bottle of Portman lager ($18), exclusively brewed and bottled by Paulaner Bräuhaus Singapore for Pan Pacific Singapore. The smooth and full-bodied lager is great to go with the array of charcuterie and cold cuts made in the hotel’s dedicated butchery kitchen, which include grilled veal bratwurst, Thuringer snail sausage, Weisswurst, cheese kransky and dry-cured black forest ham.
Born and raised in Göppingen, Germany, chef Haiko Mayer achieved the prestigious Master Butcher certification at Akademie des Fleischerhandwerks in Augsburg, Germany, and has since honed his skills in several award-winning butcheries across Australia, Germany and Singapore.
The “Tastes of Germany” is priced at $128 per adult and $64 per child (six to 12 years old). Hotel guests staying in Pan Pacific Singapore will receive a discount, paying $108 per adult and $54 per child. Prices include complimentary coffee, tea, elderflower soda and Spezi, a popular German soft drink with cola and orange soda.
