Christmas Dinner 2013 Special
Every December, the world gets excited about the biggest festive season of the year – Christmas. And because it is such a joyous and important celebration, everyone wants to treat themselves to something special. Of turkeys, candy canes, poinsettias, mistletoes and log cakes; and how can we miss out on that enchanted dinner?
There is something comforting, something heartwarming, and something enthralling about Christmas dinners. Think of a feast with your loved ones; a table of sumptuous Christmas delights, laughter and love; that familiar fuzzy feeling we all countdown to every year.
For our guide this year, we have shortlisted 8 brands that are worth looking out for when you plan for that much awaited Christmas dinner. We are stoked to share with you a list of restaurants – inexpensive and luxurious ones – for that festive indulgence, and here’s to treating your palate with these selections:
One of the things that you must do when in Hong Kong is to have afternoon tea at InterContinental Hong Kong’s Lobby Lounge. It offers the complete package: Panoramic view of Hong Kong’s skyline, live band playing soothing love ballads, and an elegant space where you can savour premium sandwiches, warm scones and exquisite desserts while sipping fragrant tea.
One of the main problems everyone faces during the festive periods is to choose a suitable place which serves good food at reasonable prices. Most restaurants tend to jack up their prices during Christmas. And that has in turn deterred people from wining and dining during the supposed joyous occasion. But thanks to Santa we still have pocket-friendly options around, and nydc is one of them.
This Christmas, the household name has put together a Christmas menu which will run from 18 November till 31 December 2013, and for 2013′s theme, it is heavily inspired by Santa – to spread joy. nydc’s Christmas specials will definitely spoil your palates without having to break the bank! The small plates are only S$9.80, while the big plates range from S$16.80 for the Traditional Cornish Hen, to S$28.80 for a 230g Wagyu Steak Frites. A mini log cake is also available at S$6.80. With such irresistible offerings, there is really no need for second thoughts about stepping in to the comfortable diner with your loved ones to celebrate Christmas, and to create memories to conclude the year.
I had a Christmas party with 30 of my readers at nydc last week and we sampled 10 of the new festive dishes from nydc’s Christmas menu for 2013. It goes without saying that everyone left with very happy tummies and a night of memories to always remember.
Here are the highlights of the festive dishes that we had at nydc’s Christmas party.
Roots Coffee Roaster is opened by Varatt Vichit-Vadakan (or Tae) who is also behind Roast Restaurant – one of my favourite brunch spots in Bangkok. It is a boutique coffee roastery on the quieter side of Soi Ekamai, which is just one street away from the popular Thonglor.
Besides supplying coffee to its sister restaurant and other cafes in town, it also conducts coffee appreciation classes and barista training courses during the week. As such, the cafe only opens to the public on weekends.
Singaporeans are all too familiar with this household name and its legion of beauty services at every other shopping mall, but do you know about Jean Yip Loft – the one-stop centre to have all your beauty and aesthetic needs attended to?
Dining out is becoming increasingly expensive, and as of recent times, you have to spend at least S$30 for a decent meal. But what if I tell you that it is possible to enjoy an indulging meal at nice restaurants like B @ Rochester, The Pelican Seafood Bar & Grill, and The Disgruntled Chef at half the price?
I am always on the lookout for good dining deals and promotions, so when I found out about The Entertainer App, I knew I have to share it with all of you.
The Entertainer has just launched in Singapore and it offers an array of ‘buy one, get one free’ offers to the best restaurants, casual dining, swanky bars, popular nightspots, attractions, spas, and even hotel stays in Singapore. It is not just a must-have for locals, but also for visitors to Singapore. And the cherry on top? The Entertainer App http://www.theentertainerme.com/singapore/ is free!
This is one app that no one should miss out on, because it opens doors to the best deals in town. Even with the most common gripe about the increased cost of living, we should still and can pamper ourselves with indulgences like these, because when you have a one-for-one deal so attractive, you can wine and dine – minus the guilt and busting your weekly budgets.
