The White Label

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.

The Sultan

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.

Adding to the overall atmosphere is the presence of a live DJ, bringing in upbeat music that elevates the dining experience beyond just food. It creates a lively yet relaxed vibe, perfect for a casual night out with friends.

We headed up to the second floor, where the interior immediately felt warm and inviting. The space was beautifully adorned with elegant chandeliers, soft ambient lighting, and a mix of pastel tones paired with wooden accents.

The cushioned seating and thoughtfully spaced tables gave the place a comfortable yet refined feel, making it a pleasant spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy the dining experience.

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.

The mussels stood out for their noticeably different taste compared to the usual ones we had. They were plump, fresh, and carried a deeper, more refined flavour. Paired with the aromatic garlic and shallot butter, the overall dish felt rich yet well-balanced.

It’s a comforting and flavourful dish that highlights the quality of the seafood, making it a memorable addition to the meal.

The French Seafood Velouté was creamy and comforting, with a smooth texture that made it easy to enjoy. The prawns added a natural sweetness and paired well with the rich velouté, making each spoonful flavourful without being too heavy. A simple yet satisfying dish that worked well as part of the overall spread.

The Cream of Cauliflower with Sakura Ebi was a comforting and well-executed dish. Smooth and velvety, the soup carried a natural sweetness from the cauliflower, making it rich yet not overly heavy. The addition of sakura ebi gave a subtle umami boost, but even on its own, the soup was flavourful and satisfying. A simple dish done right, highlighting the natural taste of its ingredients.

With the live DJ spinning feel-good tracks, the atmosphere at The White Label instantly felt more vibrant and lively. It added an upbeat energy to the space, making the weekend dining experience feel a little more special and elevated. Paired with the trolley service and curated dishes served tableside, the music brought everything together, creating a relaxed yet engaging setting that’s perfect for enjoying good food and great company.

The Fried Chicken glazed with Fermented Hot Honey made for a perfect finger food to kickstart the meal. Crispy on the outside and juicy within, the chicken was coated in a glossy layer of sweet honey with a subtle fermented depth that added an extra layer of flavour. The balance of sweetness and savoury notes worked beautifully, making each bite both addictive and satisfying. A simple dish, but definitely one that delivers big on flavour.

The Slow Cooked Beef Cheeks Korma was a true standout, a melt-in-your-mouth, intensely tender dish that showcased just how satisfying slow cooking can be. Braised low and slow, the collagen-rich beef cheeks were incredibly soft and succulent, absorbing the depth of a creamy, aromatic coconut and spice mixture. Infused with fragrant notes of ginger, lemongrass and warm spices, the curry delivered a silky, savoury richness that felt both comforting and indulgent. Paired with hearty vegetables, every spoonful was deeply flavourfulthe kind of dish that wraps you in warmth and makes it especially perfect for a cosy, comforting meal.

One of the highlights of the experience was the Malayan-Style Lamb Leg, where the staff expertly carved the meat right at the trolley table, adding a touch of theatre to the dining experience.

The lamb was beautifully cooked, tender with a slight char on the edges, bringing out its natural richness and depth of flavour. Paired with roasted rosemary potatoes, each bite delivered a comforting balance of savoury goodness. What truly elevated the dish, however, was their signature gravy, rich, well-rounded and full of flavour, tying everything together effortlessly. It added that extra layer of indulgence, making the dish all the more memorable.

Ending the meal on a high note, the Durian Pengat Custard with Spiced Crumbles was truly a delightful treat. Rich and creamy, the durian custard carried a bold yet balanced flavour that wasn’t overly overwhelming, making it enjoyable even for those easing into durian desserts.
