Promising a seasonal spread of festive meats and treats along with a bevvy of authentic local and Asian delights thrown into the mix, Spice Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road ranks high as one of our top venues of choice to indulge in a full-on feast this festive holiday.

Pulling out all the stops and ready to tantalise the senses (especially our taste buds) on all fronts, the culinary team behind Spice Brasserie impresses with their selection of colossal roasts featuring the likes of the all-new Peranakan-Style Roasted Spice Cured Turkey that wowed us with its succulent meat and its heady aroma of Nonya spices.

As far as drool-inducing food goes, they’ve nailed down their various festive roast meat offerings, but if you’re pining for something to satiate your sweet tooth, then you will not be disappointed with their Sea Salt Caramel Log Cake. But seasonal dishes aside, be sure to tuck into their various Asian and international items as well, not forgetting their selection of crab dishes—a mainstay and what Spice Brasserie is classically known for.

This festive feast will be going on from 17 December 2018 to 1 January 2019 and diners can quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon making reservations to enjoy 20% off both the lunch and dinner festive buffets.

PERANAKAN-STYLE ROASTED SPICE-CURED TURKEY

A brand-new addition to this year’s lineup of festive delights and one that’s worthy of a second round is their Peranakan-Style Roasted Spice-Cured Turkey. Specially created by Malacca-born Baba Chef Jimmy Bong, this unique rendition makes use of simple everyday spices and aromatics such as cinnamon, chilli, lemongrass and more, all working together to give the dish a vibrant appeal.

The meat was tender, robust and paired very coherently with the flavourful curry gravy—in place of the classic giblet sauce—that comes served along with it. Complex, hearty and full of flavour, the curry gravy is crucial for maximum enjoyment.

ROASTED BRINED TURKEY WITH CHESTNUT STUFFING, SNAIL SAUSAGE & PORCINI GIBLET SAUCE (DINNER BUFFET)

Not wanting to be restricted by the common notion of what a classic turkey should have, Chef Jimmy, takes it up a notch with his Roasted Brined Turkey with Chestnut Stuffing, Snail Sausage & Porcini Giblet Sauce, that sees a marriage of flavours and textures coming together to complement one another.

An element of umami is imbued into the sauce through the addition of porcini mushrooms that do well to elevate the overall dish, but unlike the many roast turkeys that we’ve tried, this version was fully capable of tasting delicious sans the sauce.

Boasting a crisp layer of perfectly seasoned skin and tender, succulent meat, this version easily trumps the conventional roast turkey and is something that warrants multiple trips to the live carving station.

HONEY BAKED HAM WITH PINEAPPLE RAISIN SAUCE

A quintessential component of any Yuletide feast is a honey-baked ham. Period.

Studded with whole cloves and given multiple bastes of sweet, sticky honey, the Honey Baked Ham with Pineapple Raisin Sauce hits the spot with its deep smokey, subtly-spiced appeal, coupled with a sweet fruity undertone.

A showstopper in its own right, the ham was easy to gobble down as it was soft, tender and enriched with a sweet, fruity bouquet that balanced out its saltiness well. The pineapple glaze sauce gives the ham sweetness but also a good amount of acidity that gives the dish balance.

AVAILABLE FOR DINNER BUFFET ONLY 

ROAST PORK WITH ROCKET, PINE NUT, FETA STUFFING & APPLE JAM

Charming our palates with its combination of unctuous flavours and textures, the Roast Pork with Rocket, Pine Nut, Feta Stuffing & Apple Jam was easily our favourite of the entire spread.

This mouth-watering Goliath of a pork delight sees an entire belly of pork, stuffed with salty feta cheese, peppery rocket and earthy pine nuts, before undergoing a slow, roast.

The result? Crackling that is literally to-die-for, succulent (and sweet) pork and a medley of flavour sensations that tantalised and teased our taste buds. This, if anything, is something worth shouting about—and don’t even get us started on how heavenly it was when paired with their house-made apple jam.

BAKED CRAYFISH WITH SALTED EGG MAYONNAISE

Grilled over charcoal to develop a charred, smoky taste before being generously slathered with a dollop of their homemade salted egg mayo, we can imagine the Baked Crayfish with Salted Egg Mayonnaise to be a surefire hit among both fans of barbecued seafood and of salted egg alike.

Boasting a heady aroma of curry leaves, accented with its signature savoury-sweet qualities, the salted egg mayo was viscous yet not cloying at all. It did well to enhance the naturally sweet flavours of the crayfish and provided a blanket of creaminess to balance out the bittersweet charred element.

BAKED OYSTER TRIO

This baked oyster trio is anything but simple. Designed to enhance the briny qualities of the oysters using an array of complementary flavour components, you have your choice of either the Oyster Kilpatrick, Oyster with Cheese and Oyster with Mentaiko Sauce—all prepared á la minute, bubbling and begging to be devoured.

The Oyster Kilpatrick comes punctuated with an apparent smokiness that resonates well with the briny oyster and the crunchy bits of crispy bacon and wilted spinach provided a nice texture

Mentaiko Baked Oyster is enriched with a silky smooth cream sauce that is savoury, umami-dense and velvety, making knocking back a dozen or more of these bad boys way too easy. The cheese version is flame-torched prior to serving, allowing a crust to develop and also to give the oyster a charred flavour.

SEA SALT CARAMEL LOG CAKE

A quirky yet unsurprising twist on the traditional Christmas log cake, Spice Brasserie’s version features ingredients that play on the balance of salty and sweet with a creamy, crispy feature—courtesy of the hazelnut crunch—that worked incredibly well.

The decadent mocha sponge, accompanied by the sea salt caramel mousse and caramel core gives the cake a profound savouriness that makes reaching in for seconds (or even thirds) impossible to resist.

This festive feast will be going on from 17 December 2018 to 1 January 2019 and diners can quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon making reservations to enjoy 20% off both the lunch and dinner festive buffets.

One of the many reasons why we enjoy every visit to Edge at Pan Pacific Singapore is because the all-day dining restaurant takes pride in presenting an engaging gastro-tainment dining experience for all their guests. And every year-end festive season, Edge never fails to delight us with their massive Christmas feast.

Our childhood dream came true on our previous trip, when the dessert section of the restaurant was artfully converted into a scene from Hansel and Gretal—with a life-size gingerbread house filled with layers of artisanal desserts. And this year, there will be a different version of the gingerbead house with more new dessert additions!

Besides the glorious dessert station, they also have seven ‘live’ food theatres offering Asian cuisines such as Peranakan, Malay, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Singaporean and dishes from the Pacific region. Yes we know, there are too many choices!

Our readers can quote ‘ladyironchef’ upon reservations for Festive Buffet at Edge to enjoy the following offers^: 25% discount for dinner from 28 to 30 November 2016, 20% discount for lunch on Mondays to Saturdays, and dinner from Mondays to Fridays from now until 23 December 2016.

If you are one who enjoys an over-the-top buffet spread just like us, here’s why Edge has every reason for your Christmas indulgence this year.

ALL-TIME TRADITIONAL FESTIVE FAVOURITES

We are the kind who enjoy sticking to traditions when it comes to festive occasions and that means Christmas is not complete without yuletide delights!

Premium meats in the festive line-up include Special Christmas Ham, Wagyu Beef Striploin and Hot Smoked Salmon Bella Vista.

Needless to say, we also made a beeline towards the Carving Station where we were spoilt for choice between the Maple Glazed Roasted Turkey Breast, 12-Hour Roasted Whole Pork Leg, Traditional Roasted Whole Norway Turkey and Roasted Prime Ribs.

SEVEN OPEN CONCEPT KITCHENS OFFERING INTERNATIONAL CUISINES

The only issue we encountered with so many choices was not knowing where to start but hey, we would gladly encounter this problem any day!In addition to the wide selection of cuisines, the restaurant has also made it a point to create a lively atmosphere where visitors get to watch the chefs in action.

Now, you must not skip the Indian cuisine station. It is one of the most popular stations at Edge, and the butter naan and rich curries are crowd pleasers.

The team manning the Indian station are all experienced Indian chefs who have years of experience dealing with Indian cuisine, which hence explains the authenticity and standards.

We also have to give the Japanese corner a special mention because we were thoroughly impressed with the options such as a gigantic bowl of chirashi don (which other buffet line does this?!) and a sashimi counter where you can choose between fresh octopus, tuna and salmon.

EDGE’S SIGNATURE GINGERBREAD HOUSE AND SWEET TREATS

And then there is the highly anticipated gingerbread house; amazingly detailed and so outstanding that it demands your immediate attention.

The entire setup oozes festive vibes and is such an impressive display that had us stopping and staring. It would be hard to find a close contender who is able to beat this alluring dessert enclave.

Choose from a stunning array of Christmas treats including Santa Hat Chocolate Strawberry Petit Gateau, Earl Grey and Jamaican Pepper Infused Fruitcake, Milk chocolate and Fresh Raspberry Log Cake and 73% Dark Chocolate and Drambuie Ganache Tartlet.

If that ain’t enough for you, Edge has homemade gelato that comes in the most interesting flavours such as lemon and orange, a basket of traditional nyonya kueh, and not forgetting their famous Nama chocolates!

The handmade gluten-free chocolates that come in rum, passion fruit and matcha flavours are insanely addictive, and free-flow Nama chocolates is just about the best thing about Edge.

FESTIVE TAKEAWAYS FROM PACIFIC MARKETPLACE

Planning to host a Christmas party at home? Treat your guests to best of holiday treats from Pacific Marketplace such as the Traditional Roasted Turkey with Cornbread, Sausage, Apple and Pecan Stuffing (4-5kg, S$158).

With the opening of the Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), we have seen the addition of a dozen new restaurants to the Singapore food scene. While it is good that we have more options now, deciding on a place for dinner can also be quite a headache.

We were choosing between Starz Restaurant (Hard Rock Hotel) and Fiesta Restaurant (Festive Hotel), and we went for the latter because I’ve heard about their BBQ buffet.

Unfortunately, we were there on a Wednesday and the BBQ buffet dinner is only available from Fridays to Sundays. On weekdays, Fiesta has a semi-buffet dinner where the appetiser and dessert buffet is included in the price of a main course.

It was getting late and we didn’t want to find another restaurant, so we settled for the semi-buffet and ordered from the ala carte menu.

I know we shouldn’t complain about the complimentary appetiser/dessert buffet since we are only paying the price of the main course, but they were pathetic. It makes me wonder why the restaurant even bother to offer the semi-buffet in the first place.

That said, the main courses which we had were pretty decent.

There are eleven dishes on Fiesta’s ala carte menu, and it has a good mix to satisfy everyone. Meat lovers will be tempted by the Ribeye ($32), Pineapple Pork Ribs ($32) and Grilled Spring Chicken ($38). I find it funny that the chicken is actually more expensive than the steak. That aside, other interesting choices include the Feijoada ($32) – traditional Brazilian black bean stew with pork & beef; and the Brazilian mix platter ($36) – combination of sausage, ribeye steak and spring chicken.

As we were in a big group, we managed to try quite a few dishes. Most of them were not bad, but they were not outstanding enough for me to stop and really take notice of it.

I might go back to Fiesta Restaurant to try the BBQ buffet dinner ($55++/pax) from Fridays to Sundays, but if I am at Resorts World Sentosa on weekdays, I’d probably give the ala carte menu a miss.
