It may apply to most of us, the Christmas season may be a little different again this year due to the rising of COVID-19 cases amidst omicron variant. This means that social gatherings and F&B dine-in to resume in groups of up to 5, and households may accept up to 5 visitors a day. Christmas for me usually means having a gathering with friends and family. What I misses the most is definitely packing and travelling overseas to celebrate Christmas. This is something that I am looking forward to, once the COVID situation is better. Nevertheless, we have to alter how we plan to celebrate this holiday season. While some things have to change, it does not equivalent to bad. There are still things that I can looking forward to while we celebrate Christmas 2021. Pamper yourself and your loved ones with an intimate festive afternoon tea sessions, hearty Christmas lunch and dinner as well as festive takeaways to enjoy in the comfort of home.

Christmas meals aren’t all about the turkey and ham! Each dish combines exciting flavours from at least two different culinary traditions. The chef’s pick will be X’mas “Char Siew” Glazed Pork Ham (2kg – $85+) served along with XO Crabmeat Fried Rice and Angus Beef Wellington with Burgundy wine sauce ($98+). Our picks will be “Kopi-C” flavoured BBQ Pork Spareribs ($65+ for a full slab) and BABA Jumbo Duroc Pork Satay ($60+/ $120+). Each slab of pork sparerib is infused in uniquely Singapore “kopi-c” flavour and a side of Asian “coleslaw”. Grilled marinated duroc pork chunks skewers are simply addictive with crispy rice crackers. The umami-rich spicy peanut sauce gives it the extra texture and makes the satay more dimension. Chendol Yule Log cake (1kg: $70+) served up a local rendition of a classic logcake dressed in lightly sweetened red bean mousse with gula melaka, soft pandan sponge cake, chendol jelly and grated coconut crumble. Kids have their eyes set on the cute Coconut Blackberry Igloo Cake (900g: $65+). Uncover the igloo cake to reveal layers of coconut lime sponge cake, coconut mousse and blackberry lime gel.
