You get to see la mian shi fu (noodle master) at station making la mian(noodle) on the spot. The al dente noodles are soaked in the goodness of braised pork belly soup.

Not a fan of tepanyaki fried kuey teow, lacks of wok taste and blood cockles. Surprising, I’ve noticed that it is wiped cleaned the moment it is served. I guess that it’s just my preference.

There’s also Chinese hot soup if you would like to warm your stomach.

At Swissotel Merchant Court, you can look forward to Peranakan delights at the Christmas Dinner.

You can’t believe that Ayam Buah Keluak is so good that I left my table to the Nyonya corner to find out the name of this dish. But I’m having second thought on my 2nd serving as I noticed the beautiful dessert table.

OMG to the ultra cute Gingerbread House with the Gingerbread Man guarding his house. You must try the Christmas Yule Cake located at the right bottom corner in the picture above. The sweetness is just right and it simply melts in the mouth almost instantly!

I wish that I have a big appetite for all the desserts.

For the assorted Nyonya Kueh Kueh, I would prefer the one with red bean only.

At Swissotel Merchant Court, you should never miss Signature Durian Pengat. It is made with quality D24 durian with a natural bitter and sweetness in it. Warning! Durian Pengat is very addictive and sinfully delicious.

The grapefruit (1st from the left), matcha (3rd from the left) mini cups desserts and mini cheese cake (picture below) are pretty good. You should try it if there’s space in your tummy!
