Princess Terrace

A signature offering at Copthorne King’s Hotel Singapore since the 1970s, Princess Terrace provides a comprehensive survey of Penang street delights in a nostalgic, café-style setting. The buffet excels with its staples: the standout fried yong tau foo and the aromatic berempah chicken curry serve as the spread’s centrepieces. While the free-flow format is a bustling affair, the menu features impressive deep cuts that showcase the kitchen’s range—from the comforting zhar moey (rice porridge) to popular favourites like assam stingray and nasi ulam. Meanwhile, live stations offer heartwarming renditions of familiar classics, including savoury noodle soups such as ark tui mee sua and assam laksa, alongside customisable sweets at the apom balik and beancurd stations. The experience is unpretentious, capturing the lively, spirited energy of a traditional Malaysian eatery.

Specialty dishes

Go for plenty of soup—the offerings, which include classics like pigs belly soup, are not only authentic, but also fantastic in grounding the often heavy offerings.
