Ready your chopsticks and appetites as Carousel at Royal Plaza on Scotts is turning up the flavour with East Meets East. Taste two worlds, one bite at a time, an experience that brings the best of Japan and Korea together.
This vibrant culinary showcase is where Tokyo’s finesse meets Seoul’s fiery spirit, celebrating the comfort, creativity, and flair of both cuisines. Diners can feast on everything from delicate sushi and sizzling yakitori to fresh kimbap and soft ggultteok, all served buffet-style in true Carousel fashion!
