Woohoo! But what\u2019s your game plan? If it only involves attacking the table and scarfing everything down, that\u2019s a no-no. Here are some useful tips so you don\u2019t commit the mistakes you\u2019ve made previously and can eat your money\u2019s worth. Let\u2019s feast sensibly!<\/p>\n<h2>Eat smart, not hard: How to ace a buffet in Singapore<\/h2>\n<h3>Don\u2019t starve yourself before the meal<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_282285\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-282285\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-282285 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-anne-nygard-unsplash-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"How to eat at a buffet\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-anne-nygard-unsplash-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-anne-nygard-unsplash-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-anne-nygard-unsplash.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-282285\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Anne Nyg\u00e5rd via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The biggest boo-boo everyone makes is skipping their meals prior to eating at the buffet. TBH, that\u2019s actually not a good idea. Why? Because going on an empty stomach means you\u2019re more likely to get full faster, even after eating so little. You\u2019ll want to have something light and high in fibre before the main event. Cereal is a good example: it\u2019s easy to digest and makes a great energy booster, which you\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to keep yourself hydrated too. Besides helping to process the food you\u2019ve eaten, water also stretches the stomach \u2013 this means you have more room to down everything you\u2019ve piled on your plate. However, don\u2019t fill yourself up too much with water.<\/p>\n<p>And if you\u2019re really feeling up to it, go ahead and burn some calories before you eat at a buffet. Hit the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-gyms-in-singapore-workouts-fitness-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gym<\/a> or fit in some active time so that you\u2019ll kickstart your metabolism and be ready to chow down later.<\/p>\n<h3>Dress to ingest<\/h3>\n<p>Now, we\u2019re not one to tell you what you should be wearing, but for this occasion, your outfit truly matters. Put away the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/denim-store-jeans-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">skinny jeans<\/a> and other figure-hugging apparel because it\u2019ll do you no favours at the buffet. Instead, opt for loose, comfortable clothing that gives you room to grow. Oh, and don\u2019t forget about the footwear. You\u2019ll be walking aplenty, so it\u2019s best to don a pair of sensible shoes. Whatever you decide to wear, be mindful of the dress code too. Some places don\u2019t allow shorts and slippers.<\/p>\n<h3>Feast with your eyes first<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_282286\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-282286\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-282286 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-mike-jones-pexels-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"How to eat at a buffet\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-mike-jones-pexels-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-mike-jones-pexels-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-mike-jones-pexels.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-282286\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Mike Jones via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Welcome to the arena! While it may be tempting to immediately grab a plate and load up on all the dishes, we say stay calm and have a walk around the stations. Not all <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/halal-buffets-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">buffets<\/a> are created equal, so have a good look at what\u2019s being served and make a note of the things you want to sample. If you know which buffet place you\u2019re heading to, it\u2019s a good idea to know what\u2019s on the menu so that you can prepare beforehand.<\/p>\n<h3>It\u2019s time to fill your plate<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_282287\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-282287\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-282287 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-roderick-salatan-pexels-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"How to eat at a buffet\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-roderick-salatan-pexels-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-roderick-salatan-pexels-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-roderick-salatan-pexels.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-282287\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Roderick Salatan via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Alright, foodie, you\u2019re all set to pig out. What you want to do now is to take small portions of everything on offer. This gives you the chance to sample what\u2019s being served and decide the ones you like best. From there, you can go back for seconds (and thirds). So don\u2019t overfill your plate! Our recommendation? Go for dishes that you don\u2019t eat on a regular basis, such as expensive meats and decadent seafood picks. Hold off the carbs until you\u2019ve managed to cover the spread. You don\u2019t want to get full too early.<\/p>\n<p>What about drinks? We say avoid carbonated drinks like the plague and sip on good, plain ol\u2019 water. You can also add a slice of lemon to your water for some flavour. Or go for peppermint tea, which aids digestion and reduces bloating.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_282288\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-282288\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-282288 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-toa-heftiba-unsplash-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"How to eat at a buffet\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-toa-heftiba-unsplash-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-toa-heftiba-unsplash-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-toa-heftiba-unsplash.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-282288\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Toa Heftiba via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another thing to remember is that you should take things slowly. You\u2019re not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/zermattneo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Zermatt Neo<\/a>, and the buffet is not an eating contest. Eat at a good pace, and don\u2019t forget to chew your food before swallowing. There\u2019s no shame in taking your time. Need a break? Sit still for a moment and take a few deep breaths. You can also distract yourself by using your phone or partaking in conversations with your company. Just don\u2019t fall asleep at the table.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, polish off everything you\u2019ve piled on your plate. It\u2019s bad enough that our country is generating <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/stop-food-waste-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">food waste<\/a>, so you should play your part in being sustainable. Plus, some places charge extra for wasted food, and you don\u2019t want to incur additional costs. If it\u2019s something you took and ended up not liking, pass it off to someone who may enjoy it.<\/p>\n<h3>Capping off with desserts<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_282289\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-282289\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-282289 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-engin-akyurt-unsplash-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"How to eat at a buffet\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-engin-akyurt-unsplash-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-engin-akyurt-unsplash-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/11\/how-to-eat-at-a-buffet-engin-akyurt-unsplash.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-282289\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: engin akyurt via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now we come to the most dangerous part of any buffet: the sweets section.
