With a myriad of delectable dining options available, there is something for everyone.

FESTIVE BUFFET

The Festive Buffet lasts from 2 December 2016 to 2 January 2017. Begin your festive feast with the refreshing Jiggly Lime beverage, a complimentary festive concoction of signature Limenade, Ginger Ale, Eggnog and Honeydew. You can look forward to indulging in succulent seafood on ice featuring Tiger Prawns, Alaskan King Crab Legs, Scallops, Mussels and Clams, or Yuletide classics such as Roasted Wagyu Beef with Red Wine Jus, Atlantic Salmon Fillet with Glazed Asparagus and Orange and Butter, and Roasted Turkey with Chestnut Stuffing served with Cranberry and Giblet Sauce, just to name a few. Cranberry and chestnut create that lovely aromatic flavours with the turkey.

CHRISTMAS EVE

On 24 and 25 December 2016, there will be more luxurious offerings. On Christmas Eve, cheese lovers can go for the Artisan Cheese, with a selection of 10 different cheeses from all over the world while fans of seafood will be able to savour Maine Lobster Nonya Laksa and Foie Gras Torchon flambéed with Cognac. Traditionalists will fully approve of the dedicated carving station and dessert station serving festive favourites like Roasted Turkey with Apple Stuffing, Pavlova and Christmas Pudding with Brandy Sauce. We are in love with their turkey, they retain the juiciness after roasting and the apple stuffing helps to cut the oiliness, if any.

CHRISTMAS DAY

On Christmas Day, there will be Lobster Bisque with Cognac Cream, Honey Glazed Gammon Ham, Apple and Clove Glazed Pork Loin and Wok-fried Kam Heong Swimmer Crab. Velvety smooth lobster bisque brings a good start to the meal as the soup is made with lobster head, hence bringing out the richness. End your meal on a sweet note with the Spiced Cheesecake, tasty, hand-made Salted Caramel Crepe and a variety of log cakes infused with local flavours, ranging from Bandung and White Chocolate Log Cake to Durian with Gula Melaka Log Cake to Pandan with Coconut Yule Log to Belgian Dark Chocolate with Yuzu Log Cake. Oh man, being a fan of local flavours, I am so in love with the pandan and coconut yule. The pandan mousse is so fragrant and it’s not too sweet. Durian with gula melaka is also a good option where you can taste the durian pulp in the log cake.

Christmas Day Brunch and Christmas Day Dinner is priced at $108++ per adult, with a complimentary glass of Jiggly Lime and unlimited juice, soft drinks coffee and tea or $158++ per adult, with a complimentary glass of Jiggly Lime, unlimited Champagne, house pour wine, house pour beer, juice, soft drinks coffee and tea.
