Grand Hyatt Singapore’s award-winning mezza9 is the mother of all international buffets. It is our all-time favourite dining spot in town, and the chefs never ever disappoint.

For New Year’s Eve, mezza9 is launching a carefully curated lavish buffet spread featuring Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Western cuisines. You can also look forward to a sustainable crustacean bar, artisan charcuterie, a premium selection of cheeses, decadent desserts and more.

Other than mezza9, you can also dine in style at other restaurants in the hotel such as StraitsKitchen, Pete’s Place, 10 SCOTTS and Oasis Restaurant.

There is indeed no other better place than Grand Hyatt Singapore to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s Eve in style!

The highlight of this year-end extravaganza is the Belle Époque countdown party. Held at Grand Hyatt Singapore’s grand lobby, you can indulge in free-flow non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages including Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque vintage champagne.

MEZZA9

The spacious international buffet restaurant is helmed by Chef Martin Satow who is a strong believer of sustainable seafood.

Six open and theatrical kitchens await and each station is fronted by its own talented team of chefs. Watch them up whip up a storm and serve you the best and freshest ingredients.

From Blue Swimmer Mud Crab, Fine de Claire Oysters, Maine Lobsters, Red King Crabs, Spencer Gulf King Prawns, Scottish Brown Crabs, South Patagonian Queen Scallops, Tasmanian Blue Mussels to Vietnamese Lala Clams, the options at mezza9′s seafood bar will spoil you silly.

Continue your seafood rampage at the Japanese live kitchen, where you can feast on sustainably sourced fishes served in the following styles—sashimi, sushi or smoked.

Sink your teeth into unlimited portions of Hot Smoked ‘Galway Bay’ Salmon, superbly fresh Yellowtail Kingfish Sashimi, Yesso Scallop Sashimi and Norwegian Atlantic Salmon Nigiri etc.

For elderly parents and in-laws who prefer Asian food, they will be pleased to discover that mezza9 boasts a plethora of authentic Asian delicacies. Think Chinese Roast, Double-boiled Soup, Wok-fried Meat, Thai Barbecue and of the like.

Do not miss out the Chinese Red Garoupa Fillet—this succulent white fleshed fish is steamed with black garlic, Chinese wine and soy sauce. It was the epitome of comfort food amidst luxury.

The expanded Thai kitchen has rolled out several tantalising Thai classics, namely Gai Yang, Isaan Sausage, Moo Yang and Som Tam. The resident Thai chef’s interpretation of Gai Yang is basically a Thai-style chicken thigh marinated with honey and pandan and grilled till tender.

Loosen up the belts and it’s time to stuff yourselves further with mezza9′s spit roast and grills. Watch in awe as the in-house rotisserie roast the British Red Poll Prime Rib in front of you.

You can also expect aromatic superior meats grilled over yarrah hard wood, i.e. Grass-fed Lamb Saddle, Free-range Dingley Dell Pork Rack and Free-range Corn-fed Chicken.

Having wine and cheese is a wonderful way to unwind after a long day.

Cheese connoisseurs can savour different cheeses of various origins such as Littly Lily from the UK, La Tur from Italy and 24-month Comté from France. Eat these cheeses together with the array of gourmet charcuterie—chorizo, duck rillette, game terrine and iberico ham.

Of course, no celebration is complete until the desserts are served. Lo and behold, as we present to you, the prettiest homemade ice cream available in the following flavours: Chocolate, Pistachio, Salted Caramel and Strawberry Cheesecake.

The buffet is inclusive of free-flow selected soft drinks, juices, tea, coffee, beers, cocktails, red/white wines, prosecco and PJ Grand Brut Champagne.

How to ever get sick of Grand Hyatt Singapore when the many restaurants are ever competent and always delighting our taste buds with new creations?

It is no secret by now that mezza9 is among our all-time favourite restaurants list, and we can go there for lunch and dinners and still be wowed by the chefs for their outstanding culinary skills and understanding of food.

And then there is StraitsKitchen too, an evident crowd favourite with its impressive buffet line-up, featuring the heritage of Singapore and all our representative dishes. It is a halal outlet too, and one that our Muslim friends can head to for a trusty feast.

So what is Chinese New Year without a get-together at Grand Hyatt Singapore? Whether you are looking for a buffet, or a multi-course Chinese meal, you can find your answer(s) here. Something to take home too, perhaps? We will share with you our picks from their festive takeaways!

MEZZA9′S 4-COURSE CHINESE NEW YEAR SET MENU

Over at mezza9, it is always a pleasant experience. The exuberant staff are ever ready for a warm welcome, and stepping in to the restaurant brings about calmness to the soul. Always a familiar environment – like a second home – yet always with surprises that await. Special dishes-of-the-day, seasonal ingredients, promotional menus… the list goes on, and this Lunar festivity no less.

Celebrate a sustainable new year as spring awakens at mezza9, and they are one of the very few restaurants in Singapore that uses only sustainably sourced seafood products that are either wild-caught or farmed. This is one practice that we have always supported, and it is for a meaningful cause without compromising on our food quality and tastes.

mezza9′s 4-course Chinese New Year Set Menu (S$88++/pax) has the perfect balance – there is more than enough food for everyone and you won’t have to fret over what to order.

Start your reunion dinner with the Double Happiness and Good Luck Sustainable Yu Sheng. Topped with sustainable New Zealand red snapper and king salmon, the traditional dish is made even special with customisable add-ons – chilled Alaskan king crab (S$26++), sliced Hokkaido scallop (S$38++), and sliced Australian abalone (S$40++).

Succeeding the prosperous starter is the Double-boiled Winter Melon Soup. This is not your usual Cantonese-style soup. Think of a modern interpretation of the classic Cantonese favourite, and prepared with scallops, Spencer Gulf wild king prawns and abalone. Such a commendable rendition, one serving of this flavoursome soup is hardly enough!

The main is a Braised Naturland Organic Barramundi with fermented rice reduction and ginger paste. The beautiful white fish is flaky, and sustainable, of course. More popularly used in Thai cooking and Australian cuisine, the barramundis here at mezza9 are interpreted with similar influences, and the result is a smooth contrast of the mildly-sweet fish and a lightly spicy sauce.

Glutinous Sesame Rice Ball in almond soup with gingko nut and white fungus – that shall be your sweet ending. Nothing quite as comforting as a milky almond soup with sweet dumplings that we grew up eating. A taste of home indeed, and Chinese New Year cannot get any cosier here at mezza9, really.

The four dishes are also available individually on the a la carte menu. On top of that, there are two more dishes that you might fancy – the Chinese cabbage wrapped fragrant brown rice with waxed preserved duck, yams and conpoy (S$38++), and braised pig’s trotter with herbs and spinach (S$58++).

STRAITSKITCHEN’S CHINESE NEW YEAR BUFFET

StraitsKitchen is a perennial favourite for those who want to enjoy a mouthwatering buffet spread of the best local favourites in a comfortable air-conditioned setting. From 18 to 20 Feb 2015, StraitsKitchen’s halal-certified kitchen will be whipping up special dishes including mini Buddha jumps-over-the-wall, glutinous rice with crab meat, ee fu noodles with shredded duck, and deep-fried traditional prosperity rice cakes and yams.

StraitsKitchen’s sustainable yu sheng will also be available for a la carte orders from 15 February to 5 March 2015, at SGD 28++, SGD 48++ and SGD 68++ respectively for a small, medium and large portion.

mezza9

It could have been the nine different dining experiences – deli, yakitori grill, sushi-sashimi bar, the grill, steam basket, the patisserie and the martini bar. It could have been the convenient and accessible location at Grand Hyatt Singapore.

But one thing is for sure – mezza9, located at the mezzanine level of the hotel, is always packed with loyal customers who return time and again. The focus on the quality of food and service, coupled with the lively atmosphere in a trendy and contemporary interior, is a sure-win formula and precisely the reason why mezza9 is a gem.

mezza9 will be having a festive ala carte menu from 1 – 25 Dec 2013. Now, this is where the real show is, and we promise it is a meal that is well worth every penny, and will not disappoint.

Starters consist of a refreshing Baked Oysters “Florentine” – a tray of ocean goodness covered generously with cheese, spinach and Mornay sauce, and the Truffled Egg – which is bound to be a crowd’s favourite because the combination of black winter truffle, cream spinach and chicken veloutee is simply brilliant.

Brewing in the soup pots are the traditional Beef Goulash that is ever heart-warming, and a highly addictive Butternut Pumpkin Soup that Chef Martin had specially reinvented with his inclusion of orange, pernod and pumpkin seeds. We cannot decide which one we prefer, but we’d suggest downing one bowl each!

For the mains, expect an Australian Grass-fed Tenderloin “Chateaubriand”, Fondant Potatoes, Festive Vegetables and an incredible sauce that is matched to complement the myriad of flavours.

And what is a Christmas feast without desserts? How about a serving of the very pretty Berry Pavlova that comes with a scoop of fresh passion fruit ice cream? Chef Martin has also redefined Caramel Custard with a Spiced Red Wine Poached Pear and Williams Pear sherbet, and the custard is that of a beautiful, creamy texture that leaves you longing for more.

And last but certainly not the least, mezza9′s take on the classic Christmas Pudding – perfected and flamed with Irish Whiskey and Vanilla Ice Cream; talk about ending the night on a sweet note!

For Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas Day lunch, mezza9′s Christmas buffet has lined up a spread that will set your heart aflutter, and some of the star dishes include a 18-hour Braised Venison Ragout that is laid atop a bed of Spaetzli, Red Cabbage, Mirza Apple; Roast Turkey with Cranberries and Gravy; Beef Sirloin ‘Wellington’ with Truffle Sauce; Marzipan Stollen; and Christmas Plum Pudding with Brandy Sauce.
