Treat Yourself To These Festive Eats This December

For a lavish night out, you can consider modern Californian restaurant Rosemead’s festive dinner menu available from 20 to 25 December. A range of different dinner highlights is available, such as the Whole Roasted Baby Chicken and 1.2kg Wagyu Cote de Boeuf, which serve two and four respectively. A classic complement to the ala carte mains, the quintessential Eggnog will be available as well. A concoction crafted with Remy Martin 1738 Accord cognac, as well as dark rums Mount Gay Black Barrel and the aged Matusalem 7 with notes of spice and caramel, dining during the festive season has never been more elevated.

On Christmas Eve or Christmas day, head to the Hilton Singapore Orchard for a family feast at Osteria Mozza. The Cal-Italian restaurant offers a spread of family-style dishes, great for cosy get-togethers with family and friends. Sink into Affettati Misti, a selection of cold cuts and charcuterie, and enjoy an Iberico Ham as part of this sharing menu. And as for the adults, Osteria Mozza will also be offering two unique cocktails throughout the month of December. Our pick? The Buon Natale – a tipple made with rye whiskey, pumpkin puree, maple syrup and garnished with pumpkin gingerbread.

If a beachside cafe feels a little more up your alley, stop by East Coast Commune on Christmas Eve or Christmas day. The locally-owned cafe has a festive three-course dinner menu prepped for a chill gathering that's perfect for families. Relish in the view of East Coast Park as you indulge in your choice of a main. East Coast Commune presents its diners with four options but we recommend the Turkey Roulade or the Wagyu Striploin if you’re feeling fancy. Then finish your meal on a sweet note with Christmas Spiced Pear Cake or Granny’s Apple Tart.

Visiting your friends for an at-home party instead? Bring along the new småkager from Leckerbaer that’s sure to be a crowd pleaser. The Danish-style bakery has released a new set of eight småkager for the end-of-year season, including flavours like Christmas-spiced salted caramel, and hazelnut with lychee curd. Leckerbaer has also unveiled two new cream puffs, Cherry Puff with Salted Caramel and Chocolate & Hazelnut Puff, for lovers of both fruity and rich flavours. And if you’re the one hosting this year’s gathering, fret not. You can opt for one of Leckerbaer’s three event packages with a large selection of Danish baked goods, catered for different party sizes.

Catering for house parties can be tricky, but Goodwood Park Hotel has simplified it this year with its festive takeaway options. The Deli offers Christmas dishes with a special Asian twist, like the Chinese-style Braised Whole Turkey and Wok-fried Carrot Cake in Homemade Sambal Chilli with Turkey Breast, which promises a combination of the homely familiar flavours with the convivial winter energy. The log cakes from The Deli come in an exciting assortment, but the one that caught our eye was the Festive Tropicana Log Cake, which incorporates a pineapple-vanilla confit with pineapple chunks.

New-Italian restaurant Caffe Fernet presents an array of new cocktails for a merry time this December. In collaboration with small-batch American bourbon Maker’s Mark, three Christmas-inspired cocktails have been specially concocted, for whiskey aficionados. For a heartwarming dessert cocktail, look no further than the Little Helper. Made with chocolate liqueur and mint liqueur, the vanilla and caramel notes take centre stage in this rich bourbon cocktail, enhanced with the woody notes from palo santo.
