Catching up with a friend over a good meal is always a great idea, and this time we headed to The White Label for their “Beats at Bite” trolley buffet experience.

Priced at $49+ per guest, this concept offers something a little different from the usual buffet spread. Instead of heading to food stations, dishes are served trolley-style, making the experience feel more interactive and engaging as selections are brought right to your table.

What makes it even more interesting is the blend of French-Malayan flavours, combining familiar local elements with a subtle European touch. The variety keeps things exciting, with each round offering something new to try.

To pair with the buffet, we had the Litchi La Rose, a light and refreshing drink that complemented the meal nicely. The subtle sweetness of lychee combined with delicate floral notes from the rose created a well-balanced and aromatic drink. Served chilled with a hint of fizz, it was especially refreshing and helped cleanse the palate between bites. A simple yet elegant choice that added a pleasant touch to the overall dining experience.

We started the meal with a single serve of Japanese Oyster with Mignonette, and it was a great way to kick things off.

The oysters were impressively fresh, with a clean and briny taste that was enhanced by the light tanginess of the mignonette. Each bite was smooth, slightly creamy, and carried a natural sweetness that made it especially enjoyable. Simple, fresh, and well-executed definitely a delightful start to the dining experience.

One of the highlights of the experience was the trolley-style service, where the staff would push the trolley over to our table and begin preparing the dishes right in front of us.
It added an interactive and engaging touch to the meal, as we got to see the selections up close before they were served. The presentation felt thoughtful and attentive, making the dining experience more personal compared to a typical buffet setup.

We also got to watch the staff prepare the Baby Gem & Tomato Salad with dill aioli and udang kering right at the trolley. The crisp baby gem lettuce paired well with the juicy sweetness of the tomatoes, while the dill aioli added a creamy and slightly herby touch. The addition of udang kering brought a subtle savoury depth, giving the salad a nice balance of flavours. Light, refreshing, and well-composed it was a pleasant starter that complemented the richer dishes to come.

Another interesting dish we tried was the Caprese Salad with chili crisp and belinjau keropok, which offered a creative twist on the classic. The creamy cheese paired beautifully with the sweetness of the tomatoes, while the addition of chili crisp introduced a subtle heat and depth of flavour. What made it even more unique was the belinjau keropok, adding a light crunch and a slightly bittersweet note that elevated the dish. A refreshing yet flavourful combination that blends familiar elements with a local touch, definitely a standout for its creativity.

Another dish that caught our attention was the Garlic Confit Prawns in sriracha cocktail sauce with serunding. Served in a small glass, the prawns were tender and well-coated in a creamy, slightly spicy sriracha cocktail sauce. The addition of serunding brought a fragrant, savoury depth with a hint of texture, giving the dish an interesting local twist. It was a flavourful bite-sized starter that packed a good balance of creaminess, spice, and umami definitely one of the more memorable items from the trolley.
