Here’s where eatigo comes in—offering the very same indulgent dining experience of a hotel buffet but at discounted prices, diners who make their reservations through the app get to enjoy up to 50% off their dining bills.

What’s more, on top of the attractive time-based discounts, Standard Chartered Credit Cardholders are entitled to an additional S$5 Eatigo Cash Voucher off their dining bill!

The festive Yuletide is soon upon us and with it, hotels and restaurants all over Singapore are pulling out all the stops, innovating and crafting stellar menus that aim to astound and make every diner’s Christmas feast a memorable and jolly one.

This festive season, The Square Restaurant over at Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay will feature a splendid buffet line-up which will not only include an array of stellar wintertime roasts, such as gammon ham, roasted turkey and roasted beef strip loin, but also Asian favourites as well and a huge selection of sweet treats that will please even the most discerning sweet tooth.

If you have been an avid follower, you would know that being merry does not stop at good food. From 1st until 31st December 2018, our readers may quote ‘ladyironchef20′ to enjoy 20% off this very festive buffet spread—which means that you get to feast all the same, but at a much more value-for-money price!

Here are some of the highlights you can expect at the Festive Buffet over at The Square Restaurant.

ROASTED TURKEY WITH GIBLET SAUCE

No Christmas is ever complete without a serving (or two) of roasted turkey. In this case, treat yourself to unlimited portions of roasted turkey at the restaurant’s buffet line-up, served together with with a rich, savoury giblet sauce.

For those who surmise that turkey is a just a plain ol’ chunky meat, we beg to differ. Roasted and served whole on a bed of garden vegetables, the meat develops a deep fresh flavour and stays moist, succulent and delicious. For an extra flavour lift and to reintroduce flavour into the meat, ladle on some of that giblet sauce.

ROASTED HONEY BAKED HAM WITH PINEAPPLE AND ORANGE HERB SAUCE

What we perceive as the real treat for Christmas is The Square Restaurant’s rendition of Gammon Ham. Smoked until a deep, orangey bark develops on the surface, the ham boasts a robust and well-textured exterior, all while remaining incredibly moist and succulent on the inside. Penetrating right through, the ham possesses a nice smoky, fruity flavour to it but is best accompanied with the sweet, sticky pineapple and orange herb sauce that is served on the side.

The marriage of sweet and savoury had us heading for seconds and thirds in no time.

ROASTED BEEF STRIP LOIN WITH GRAIN MUSTARD SAUCE

Their Christmas delights do not stop at just turkey and ham. The luxurious Roasted Beef Strip Loin with Grain Mustard Sauce is every beef lover’s dream come true and one that you must not skip no matter how full you are.

Cooked to a pink-hued, juicy medium-well , the beef strip loin boasts a flavourful crust imbued with the punchy note of mustard and fresh peppercorns.

Other festive roasts diners can look forward to include the Roasted Lamb with Rosemary Sauce and Salt Crusted Sea Bass, which are on rotation throughout the entire festive season.

SEAFOOD ON ICE

Hankering for something cold? Be sure to begin your meal proper with fresh seafood over at the Seafood On Ice station. On Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and on New Year’s Eve, you’ll be delighted to know that they will feature an even more elaborated and extensive line of fresh seafood.

ASSORTED SUSHI & SASHIMI

In your group of friends or family, there’s always going to be that one hardcore sashimi lover who never fails to polish up an entire serving of sashimi and sushi.

The Square Restaurant’s buffet line-up offers a modest selection of fresh Japanese fare. Although limited in terms of variety, we promise you that it guarantees the same level of freshness and satisfaction derived from even the most reputable Japanese restaurants.

THE SQUARE SIGNATURE D.I.Y. LAKSA

The Square Restaurant also has a ‘live station’ where diners can D.I.Y their very own portions of laksa, and this station is one that sees consistently long queues more often than not.

Perhaps one of the most popular stations in the restaurant and definitely one that regulars are sure to make a beeline for, this is where you can customise the amount of white or yellow noodles, amount of toppings such as fishcakes, bean sprouts and fresh, plump prawns as well as garnishing to give your bowl the perfect finish.

ASIAN DELIGHTS

Beyond the festive treats and the D.I.Y station, the buffet line-up is also set to enthral with their scrumptious renditions of Asian delights that, while rather straightforward, will always be a classic favourite no matter what season of the year it is.

The Salted Egg Yolk Crayfish, Sambal Squid and the Chilli Crab are amongst their highlights in this section. These Asian delights are constantly on rotation so diners can expect something new every visit, such as Black Pepper Crab and Salted Egg Crab.

DESSERTS GALORE

Now, before you head back for more servings of hot food, we suggest that you leave some space for desserts because The Square Restaurant’s dessert selection is amongst the most elaborate that we have seen thus far.

What we reckon are the best treats to round off your feast on a sweet note are their stellar chocolate fondue as well as the Durian Pengat, both of which are amongst The Square Restaurant’s signatures and for good reason.

The former comes with a myriad of fruits alongside marshmallow to dip into, whilst the latter is one dessert that makes sure the King of Fruits lives up to its name.
