Spice Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road has reopened its doors and we are all ready for their Christmas buffet. It has become a tradition for us to dine at Spice Brasserie every Christmas, and we are glad that despite the pandemic, this year is no exception.

Helmed by Executive Chef Robert Chan, a buffet affair at Spice Brasserie is a satisfying one that does not require you to break the bank. With safety measures in place, it will be an a la carte buffet instead. But this is not a shortchange, by any means. If any, everything will be plated and served to you and you can truly dine comfortably in your space.

The cherry on top? You can quote “Ladyironchef” to enjoy 25% off Spice Brasserie’s buffet when you make your reservations. ‘Tis the season to be jolly and to feast!

SIGNATURE BBQ BLACK CHAR SIEW AND CRISPY PORK ROLL

Spice Brasserie’s Signature BBQ Black Char Siew on its own will make us return for another round of buffet because it is so darn solid.

Slabs of pork in a rich char siew sauce with maltose as its base, then placed above an open fire until the glaze begins to caramelise from the heat. The result is a glorious char siew that is so moist and tender with a lovely sweet and smoky aftertaste.

CRISPY PORK ROLL

Sometimes, life gives you more and that’s in the form of roasted pork at Spice Brasserie’s Christmas buffet.

The Crispy Pork Roll is made using pork belly that is marinated with a copious amount of a house blend of herbs and seasoning, then rolled into a tight spiral and slow-roasted. It has so much flavours in one bite that everyone at the dining table was in awe.

TRADITIONAL ROAST TURKEY CARVING WITH GRAVY

What is Christmas without a good turkey? Turkeys tend to have a bad name for being dry and tasteless, and we’ve had our fair share of mediocre turkeys, but never at Spice Brasserie.

Taking center stage at the buffet is this Traditional Roast Turkey Carving with Gravy. Just good ol’ turkey with no-frills marination, roasted at the right temperature to retain the moisture and slightly charred skin for extra flavours. Sink your teeth into the tender meat and fall in love with the classic flavour; so good, you don’t even need the gravy actually!

But hey, try the gravy anyway.

MAI YA TANG GLAZED HAM WITH PINEAPPLE SAUCE

For the uninitiated, mai ya tang is maltose candy. It is a thick Chinese syrup and is often used as flavouring and/or to give meat its glossy look.

Needless to say, the Mai Ya Tang Glazed Ham with Pineapple Sauce at Spice Brasserie is a beautiful one. Just look at that glorious glaze! The ham was nice and juicy, with a slight sweetness in every bite. And don’t we all love free-flow ham, seriously? (Good) Hams are otherwise pretty expensive as they go by weight!

MEATLOAF

The traditional folks would want their Meatloaf for Christmas. The ones served at the buffet is made of minced pork that is lightly seasoned before being baked.

CHILLI CRAB WITH MANTOU

And because Spice Brasserie is incorporating Asian flavours in their Christmas line-up, you can expect Chilli Crab with Mantou as part of the a la carte buffet too! You don’t have to worry about your folks who are not used to European fare; they can have their chilli crab while you have your turkey and ham. 

Spice Brasserie’s rendition is one with thick chunks of egg – just the way we like it. It is tangy and sweet, not overly spicy, and makes the perfect dip for deep-fried mantou. Talk about having the best of both worlds – crabs and Christmas roasts! Our tummies cannot be happier!

COLD SEAFOOD PLATTER

If you are one who needs your cold seafood at a buffet, the a la carte buffet line-up includes a Cold Seafood Platter option. You can have as many bowls of fresh ocean treasures as you wish, and they include prawns, mussels, crawfish, scallops and conches.

FESTIVE TEPPANYAKI ICE CREAM

Spice Brasserie’s enchanting dessert column includes two festive Teppanyaki Ice Cream flavours that are prepared a la minute. The kids will love this!

German Chocolate Croffle Teppanyaki Ice-Cream
- Brownie
- Sea salt
- Shredded coconut
- Pecan nut
- Caramel sauce

Apple Crumble with Brandied Prune Teppanyaki Ice-Cream
- Apple
- Brandy marinated dark prunes
- Christmas spices
- Custard and apricot

RED AND GREEN VELVET CREAM CHEESE YULE LOG WITH BRANDIED FRUITS AND NUTS

Spice Brasserie’s take on the Christmas log cake is a fruity one – Red and Green Velvet Cream Cheese Yule Log with Brandied Fruits and Nuts. We love the brandied fruits and how the cream cheese balances out the mild alcoholic taste of the cake.

Terms: Valid for festive buffet until 3 January 2021 only. Not applicable with other offers, promotions, discount and privileges.

These promotions are only available from now until 29 August 2019. So, hurry on down to Peach Garden for a feast fit for a king (or an emperor)!

A LA CARTE BUFFET

Peach Garden’s A La Carte Buffet features a whopping 37 delectable Chinese delights that will undoubtedly leave you spoilt for choice.

Start your meal off on a soul-comforting note with your choice of shark’s fin soup (limited to one order per person). There are five variations to choose from and our favourite is the one that comes with fresh crab meat and silky egg white. The soups have all been double-boiled to extract all those wholesome flavours without compromising on the quality of the ingredients.

DEEP-FRIED SOON HOCK FISH WITH GARLIC AND SUPERIOR SOYA SAUCE

If you prefer your fish fried, their Deep-fried Soon Hock Fish (usual price S$80++) will not disappoint. Deep-fried to a beautiful golden brown, the fish sported soft, flaky flesh that broke apart with ease and was crispy from edge to edge.

The simple yet robust superior soya sauce was of just the right consistency and added a nice savouriness and umami element which complemented the natural sweetness of the fish.

Dishes are all free-flow and there are no restrictions on how much you can order—except on the Soup items, the usual price for the fish is already at S$80++ per fish and the price for the A La Carte Buffet is now at S$24++ per person! This is some incredibly value-for-money deal that will allow you to eat to your heart’s content without feeling the pinch in your wallet

STEAMED LIVE PA TING FISH WITH MINCED GINGER IN SUPERIOR SAUCE

It would be a crime to leave Peach Garden without trying their famous Steamed Live Pa Ting Fish (usual price S$80++) which has a firm, springy texture on top of being incredibly fresh.

Slice through its meat like a hot knife through butter. Its copious garlic garnish enhances its fresh flavour that was devoid of fishiness and the muddy taste associated with freshwater fish.

LIVE PRAWNS

Their Live Prawns in ‘Indonesia Style’ (usual price S$28++) features fresh, chunky prawns that are simmered to perfection in a sinfully rich laksa-like broth. The other prawn dish consists of live prawns in a Chinese wine and herb concoction that has a slightly herbal flavour and a nourishing feel to it.

DEEP-FRIED FRESH PRAWN WITH WASABI SALAD

If you are a frequent diner at Peach Garden, you’d know that their Deep-Fried Fresh Prawn with Wasabi Salad Cream (S$26++) is one of the best renditions you can find in Singapore.

Here, the prawns come generously and evenly coated in an insanely crispy batter that gives the prawn a lovely crunch; but that isn’t the best part. What truly elevates the dish is the wasabi salad cream which is tangy, sweet and spicy all at once. We appreciate how the wasabi was not too overpowering to the point where it masked all the other components of the dish.

MEATS

Another thing that we absolutely love about Peach Garden’s A La Carte Buffet menu is their extensive selection of meat dishes.

We enjoyed their Sautéed Sweet and Sour Pork with Lychee which was stuffed into a colourful combination of bell peppers, as well as their Baked Spare Rib with Pineapple Sauce. For something less sweet and more savoury though, their Braised Pork Belly with Mui Choy was very tender and soft with layers of fats.

S$18 LIVE LOBSTER PROMOTION

Fans of this premium crustacean are in for a treat with Peach Garden’s half lobster promotion. Upon purchasing a lobster (S$18++ for half lobster), diners can choose from over 18 preparation methods in terms of how they want their lobster done.

Some of the flavours that you can expect are their Steamed Lobster with Superior Stock, Baked Lobster with Spring Onion and Ginger and Stir-fried Lobster with Fresh Crab Meat and Crab Roe. If you’re craving something more out of the box, there are also interesting options such as the Stir-fried Lobster with Black Truffle Sauce and Japanese Style Baked Lobster with Curry Sauce.

LOCALLY INSPIRED LOBSTER DISHES

Among the plethora of lobster options to choose from, the standouts include their locally inspired ones such as the Lobster Popiah, Lobster Rojak, Baked Lobster with Salted Egg Yolk & Crispy Milk and the Lobster with Chilli Crab Sauce.

If you haven’t gotten off the salted egg bandwagon, you’ll really enjoy their Baked Lobster with Salted Egg Yolk. Here, a creamy layer of custardy salted egg sauce evenly coats the entire lobster and provides it with that familiar, addictive savoury flavour that we all know and love.

Another noteworthy dish is their Lobster with Chilli Crab Sauce, where the lobster is doused in a sweet, savoury and spicy chilli sauce. The sauce is made even better with the addition of egg, which not only helps to thicken the sauce but provides it with a full-bodied flavour.

50% OFF LOBSTER SET MENU PROMOTION

Exclusively for our readers, you can quote “Ladyironchef” upon making a reservation to enjoy 50% off one of their 2 exclusive set menus.
