This Mid-Autumn Festival, well-loved homegrown bistro The Marmalade Pantry is launching a new Mid-Autumn Collection with a new selection of mooncake flavours that are presented in an elegant gift box.

Crafted from low-sugar and no-lard recipes, the delectable mooncakes are exclusively available in two special edition gift sets.

Thoughtfully encased in a gift box that ingeniously transforms into a sophisticated jewelry vault, these mooncakes become exceptional and practical presents for both loved ones and professional connections.

Their elegant packaging adds to their charm and functionality, making them a perfect gift choice for the Mid-Autumn Festival, suitable for both personal and business relationships.

Customers who order and pay using Mastercard® by 27 Aug 2023 can enjoy an exclusive 20% early bird discount; the use of promo code <MCG20> is required for online purchases.

THREE NEW INTERESTING MOONCAKE FLAVOURS

Fans of The Marmalade Pantry’s mooncakes will definitely be getting the signature flavour of White Lotus with Double Yolk—a must-have mooncake for every Mid-Autumn Festival.

On top of that, The Marmalade Pantry has its modern take on the traditional mooncakes by introducing three new interesting flavours this year – Assam Tea and Hokkaido Milk with Raisin; Taro Coconut with Red Bean; and Red Lotus and Black Sesame with Pecan.

The Assam Tea and Hokkaido Milk with Raisin mooncake presents a contemporary twist on the traditional baked lotus paste flavor. It combines a smooth lotus paste infused with the tamarind tea and shredded lemon peel. A luscious Hokkaido milk lotus paste is blended with plump raisins that offer bursts of natural sweetness.

Drawing inspiration from the yam-filled Teochew-style mooncakes, the Taro Coconut with Red Bean mooncake carries its own distinctive flavour profile. It features a velvety lotus paste enriched with luscious yam and Taiwanese red bean paste.

The Red Lotus and Pecan with Black Sesame showcases the harmonious fusion of flavors with a luscious and nutty black sesame paste that is artfully balanced with a subtly sweet red lotus paste. Enclosed within a buttery baked crust, every mouthful reveals delightful morsels of pecans, imparting a delicate crunch to each bite.

ELEGANTLY PRESENTED IN A JEWELRY BOX

The carefully curated assortment of mooncakes is gracefully nestled within a refined jewelry box, with the purchase of either The Marmalade Mix or The Classic Collection.

The Marmalade Pantry has always been creative with the design of their mooncake boxes which can be reuse/repurpose. And it is no exception this year.

This limited edition Jewel Vault, measuring 27.5cm (L) x 21.5cm (W) x 6cm (H), is meticulously crafted and adorned with contemporary scarlet red illustrations of The Marmalade Pantry’s iconic olive stalks.

Blending luxury with practicality, the spacious interior of the jewelry box is lined with plush grey velvet and divided into four sections, each designed to hold a mooncake. These four compartments can be repurposed for storing watches and bracelets. Additionally, the box features cushioned slots on the side, providing an exquisite display space for rings, cuff links and earrings.

WHERE TO ORDER THE MARMALADE PANTRY MOONCAKES

Orders can be made at the ION, Downtown (Downtown), Anchorpoint, and Bugis outlets from 1 Jul to 29 Sep 2023, while stocks last (last day to order is on 29 Sep 2023).

It is the time of the year again and we are ready to party with homegrown bistro The Marmalade Pantry’s festive takeaway goodies.

With the pandemic, we won’t be able to have huge parties at home but this doesn’t mean we are going to be deprived of our favourite Christmas food. It has become a norm for our family to host our family at home with The Marmalade Pantry’s roast turkey and their other takeaway goodies, and this year will be no different for us.

Pre-order with MasterCard^® by 30 November 2020 to enjoy 15% off your festive à la carte orders. Place your order online here.

From the classic roast turkey to one of the best stuffings we’ve tried, winter vegetables and garlic mash, The Marmalade Pantry’s Christmas takeaway goodies is a “tradition” for our family and here’s why you should order them for your house parties too!

TRADITIONAL WHOLE ROASTED TURKEY AND STUFFING

What is Christmas without a good turkey? The Marmalade Pantry’s Traditional Whole Roasted Turkey with Fresh Herbs (5kg/ S$128+) is a must-order, you know that. It is the centrepiece for every table at Christmas parties, and The Marmalade Pantry’s rendition is a classic but hearty one.

Rubbed with a house blend of seasonings together with garlic, rosemary and thyme, then slathered in butter, the festive bird is super yummy. Catch a whiff of the aromatic herbs upon cutting the turkey, and the meat is tender and moist. The turkey comes with a serving of homemade gravy and cranberry sauce, but it’s really otherwise good on its own.

But for the best taste, enjoy the turkey with the Traditional Stuffing (0.4kg/ S$24+). This is easily one of the best stuffings we’ve ever tried! With multi-grain bread prepared with fresh carrots and celery and heaps of fresh herbs, enjoy your festive bird with The Marmalade Pantry’s Traditional Stuffing for a total gastronomic delight. The flavours are aromatic and wonderful beyond reproach.

MAPLE AND CLOVE GLAZED GAMMON HAM

Turkey alone isn’t enough, of course. Why stop at one when you can have turkey AND ham?

The Marmalade Pantry’s Maple and Clove Glazed Gammon Ham (3kg/ S$128+) is one flavoursome treat that is a nice blend of savoury and sweet. The boneless Gammon ham is glazed with maple syrup and studded with cloves for an elevated aroma. We had numerous helpings of the ham!

And here’s a tip: cut the ham into cubes, then stir-fry it with a tomato paste and serve it with pasta for a homely treat.

SL0W-ROASTED BEEF RIBEYE

There is also the Slow-Roasted Beef Ribeye (1kg/ S$98+) that is a necessary item on your dining table. Tender ribeye is smothered in rosemary, thyme, black pepper and sea salt. The richness of the beef and the layers of seasoning shone through the tender slab of beef that’s roasted to a beautiful medium.  It is served with a house-made black pepper sauce.

MOROCCAN LAMB RACK

If you are a fan of game meat, go for the Moroccan Lamb Rack (0.6kg/ S$75+). The rack is seasoned with rosemary and what they call The Marmalade Pantry’s Moroccan Rub, which is really a medley of spices such as coriander, cumin, chilli powder, paprika, cinnamon and black pepper. It is an explosion of flavours in your mouth, to say the least. The tender rack is so well seasoned that it musks the typical unpleasant gamey smell.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH ROSEMARY AND FRESH HERBS

There is also the crowd-pleasing Roasted Chicken with Rosemary and Fresh Herbs (2kg/ S$42+) that is always enjoyed by both old and young in our family. Featuring a whole juicy chicken rubbed with a house blend spice mix, this simple but very delicious poultry is an alternative for those who do not prefer heavy roasts such as beef and lamb. Prepared with lots of garlic, rosemary and thyme, it is healthy and easy on the palate – just what the kids in every Christmas party need.

THE MARMALADE MAC & CHEESE

Need more “fillers” for your dining table? The Marmalade Pantry’s festive menu includes an array of sides such as Roasted Winter Vegetables and Garlic Mash. They are so good, and are as important as the mains!

For one, The Marmalade Mac & Cheese (0.5kg/ S$24+) is such a stellar item that we would eat it as a main on its own. Al dente Macherroni is folded with cream, truffle butter, and three kinds of cheese—cheddar, Parmesan and mozzarella. The end result is a luxurious mix, and we promise this will be one of the best Mac & Cheese you’ve ever eaten.

GARLIC MASH

Something we always order multiple servings of every year is the Garlic Mash (0.5kg/ S$24+). This crowd’s favourite is prepared with creamy potatoes infused with garlic. Creamy and buttery, it is seasoned with sea salt.

ROASTED WINTER VEGETABLES

Don’t forget to also try the Roasted Winter Vegetables (0.5kg/ S$24+). Cubes of butternut squash, purple sweet potatoes and parsnips are lightly charred and seasoned with thyme and honey to bring out the natural sweetness of the vegetables.

CHRISTMAS LOG CAKES

For sweet endings, we’ve got the Truffle Chocolate Log Cake (1kg/ S$65+). Featuring a chocolate sponge roll with a chocolate crème center, this decadent treat is one for the chocolate lovers.

For a locally-inspired pick, go for the well-loved Pandan Gula Melaka Log Cake (1kg/ S$65+). It is a familiar taste of local flavours, with layers of moist pandan sponge cake rolled with light buttercream and topped with gula Melaka-infused coconut flakes.

ROASTED WHOLE TURKEY WITH FRESH HERBS

Begin the festivities with their spectacular Roasted Whole Turkey with Fresh Herbs (S$108+/4.5kg). Beautifully arranged in a huge platter, the breathtaking roast is first garnished with glaze and served with sides of charred lemons and chilli. The turkey is full of moist, tender meat that encases a stuffing of well-seasoned spices that only adds to its savouriness.

The Marmalade Pantry only dishes out roasts that are sure to leave your guests gobsmacked, and this turkey is the star of the show. Promising crisp skin seasoned with pepper, salt and citrus to bring out its natural flavours, the turkey is perfumed and fragrant from the spices.

It is then roasted to give it smokiness and a charred taste. The sharp citrusy tanginess on the skin also cut through the umami-packed meat, giving it a refreshing change of flavour.

MAPLE AND CLOVE GLAZED GAMMON HAM

A mandatory staple at every Christmas dinner is, of course, ham. Their Maple and Clove Glazed Gammon Ham (S$108+/3.3kg) will definitely take your party up a notch with its marvellous, slightly charred crust and velvety sheen. Stubbed with cloves, the ham is heavily perfumed with hints of earthy spices.

Prior to serving, it is glazed and baked, allowing the buttery sweetness from the maple glaze to permeate through the meat. Slice through its tough exterior, and the meat reveals a soft, succulent, chewy middle.

SLOW-ROASTED WAGYU BEEF

When we think of Christmas, we imagine a slew of delectable roasts alongside turkey that leaves us craving for more. Featuring yet another slab of indulgent meat that impressed us: the Slow-Roasted Wagyu Beef (S$98+/1kg).

Roasted to a perfect medium doneness, the aromatic beef is served with a crisp, smoky crust before it is sprinkled with seasoning, rosemary and thyme. Completely stealing our hearts was its beautifully marbled meat; it was fork tender and boasted both sweetness and umami nuances.

Slowly savour the meat, and you get to taste that chewy, luxurious mouthfeel that bursts apart with flavour.

LAMB RACK WITH PROVENCALE CRUST

Though not as much a majestic grandeur as the turkey or ham, another meat platter that will surely spice up your celebration is their Lamb Rack with Provencale Crust (S$75+/0.6kg). Arriving in a green, herbaceous crust, this dish looks fitting for the Christmas season.

Generously sprinkled and seasoned with herbs such as rosemary, the lamb is covered with a slightly salty exterior that is packed full of spices. When we pulled the meat apart, it tore from the bone easily, giving way to a medium-done middle. The best thing about it was that it was fragrant and juicy and had no gamey trace at all.

TRADITIONAL STUFFING

Nothing says Christmas more than stuffing; alongside their wealth of side accompaniments and salads, we have the Traditional Stuffing (S$20+). This is definitely one of the highlights we can look forward to savouring during the festive season. What we liked about their stuffing was that it consisted of a myriad of various simple yet flavoursome ingredients.

Comprising a unique blend of ingredients such as carrots and nuggets of bread, the dish had a soft, creamy mouthfeel that broke apart easily, allowing us to relish in its savouriness. It also had a moist texture that melted in our mouths.

CAULIFLOWER & BULGUR SALAD

Accompanying the festive roasts is their Cauliflower & Bulger Salad (S$20+). Served atop a fluffy bed of bulgur wheat, this is one of their best-selling vegetarian options included in their lineup again this year. An unpretentious dish, this salad comprises of a medley of contrasting soft and crunchy textures.

The cauliflowers are roasted and tossed together with the bulgur wheat, giving the salad a slight smoky char that elevated the flavour of this simple dish. This is the salad to go for if you are looking to have something light on the palate yet has that extra oomph of flavour.

ROASTED WINTER VEGETABLES

Where there are meats, there will be vegetables to give a refreshing palate change as well. Do not forget their Roasted Winter Vegetables (S$20+), a perennial vegetarian favourite that never fails to leave their guests hankering for more.

A colourful mixture of squash, sweet potato and pumpkin, this is a well-balanced dish consisting of both sweet and savoury notes. The chefs have added in their own smoky touch by giving the vegetables a slight char, adding to its savouriness and contrasting the veggie’s natural sweetness.

GARLIC MASH

Nothing completes the meaty affair better than some traditional mash. Introducing their Garlic Mash (S$20+) – it may look unassuming but we guarantee that the mash here is beyond awesome.

Simmered with garlic and loaded with butter, the mash is served with a mouthwatering aroma. Mashed to consistency, it had a thick and creamy texture that melted in our mouths. It was also chock full of savoury, herbaceous flavour.

LOG CAKES

You know there will always be room for their well-loved desserts, as what better way to end the joyous occasion than to indulge in some holiday sweet treats? In line with their festive takeaway spread, The Marmalade Pantry has doled out log cakes to celebrate the yuletide season: Black Forest Log Cake and Four-Layer Chocolate Log Cake!

The Black Forest Log Cake is fantastic for those who are sticklers for tradition. A classic favourite, this cake is coated with thick cream, luxurious chocolate and topped with chocolate shavings and blueberries. Nothing too fancy, but will definitely remind you of home.

The dessert lovers will also be a fan of their Four-Layer Chocolate Log Cake, as it is carefully composed of four different fluffy layers that simply melts into gooey goodness in your mouth. Crafted with four distinct flavours, this cake is bound to present you with a medley of contrasting, decadent goodness.

Everything about The Marmalade Pantry impresses from its stellar array of delicious food and its cosy spaces that provide a temporary respite from the hectic city. But beyond indulgent afternoons and solid meals, they also have a series of festive offerings available for a takeaway feast that’s fit to grace any house or office party.

Looking for Christmas centrepiece roast that’s sure to have your guests in total awe, try out the Whole Roasted Turkey with Fresh Herbs that surprises with its irresistibly moist and succulent meat. Brined in a sauce comprising salt and various aromatics for a long period of time, flavours are allowed to penetrate deep into the meat, making for a proper roast fit to grace your dinner table.

Whatever kind of Christmas gathering you’re looking to throw, you can count on The Marmalade Pantry’s repertoire of festive treats and delicious roasts more than sufficient to fit the merry-making bill. And for our dear readers, you get to enjoy a 10% Mastercard discount when you quote ‘ladyironchef10’ upon checkout online or when you call to make a booking.

WHOLE ROASTED TURKEY WITH FRESH HERBS

In light of any Christmas get-together, there’s really only one way to do Christmas dinner properly, and that’s with a big, bold, roasted turkey. Roasting it yourself is often a hassle and getting around the whole dryness part is even more so.

Promising a tender, succulent turkey that is neither bland nor dry, is the Whole Roasted Turkey with Fresh Herbs (S$98++ for 4.5kg). Brined in a salt mixture with fresh aromatics for at least 6 to 7 hours prior to marinating, stuffing and roasting, the flavours are allowed to permeate all the way through, ensuring that the end result is flavourful, properly seasoned and most importantly, moist.

Stuffed with orange wedges and mirepoix—basically, a fancy French term to mean carrots, onions and celery—the turkey develops a mild sweetness with a pleasant zing to it.

MAPLE HONEY GLAZED HAM

An intrinsic staple at any festive gathering, Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without a whole ham of sorts. Boasting a marvellous sheen of basted honey and stubbed with cloves all around, the Maple Honey Glazed Ham (S$88++ for 2kg) is one that won us over with ease.

Mildly smoky with a coating of honey that adds a buttery sweetness to it, this centrepiece delight was nicely balanced in both its aromatic qualities and taste. The ham was soft with a pleasant bite to it, which makes having leftovers (provided there are any left) in a sandwich just as enjoyable too.

ANGUS RIBEYE WITH MERLOT BEEF JUS

Nothing says indulgence quite like a luxurious slab of roast beef, perfectly seared from edge to edge while staying pink and succulent in the middle. This festive season, take your Christmas party spread up a notch with The Marmalade Pantry’s Angus Ribeye with Merlot Beef Jus (S$88++ for 1kg).

The marbling on the Angus ribeye was just a couple of sinews shy of being immaculate. Encrusted in a solid crust that only provided a nice crunch but effectively locked in moisture, the ribeye was truly a pleasure to eat. It is what it is, beef of exceptional quality, prepared and cooked properly sans any fancy twists to best bring out the true flavourful qualities of the meat.

TRADITIONAL STUFFING

Stuffing is a quintessential component at any festive feast and while it may not boast the same grandeur as that of a roast turkey, it still has a significant part to play nonetheless. The Traditional Stuffing (S$20++) impresses with its unique blend of flavours as well as its moist texture.

Sprinkled profusely with a myriad of fresh herbs, the otherwise unflattering side dish is given a flavour wake up call. The mirepoix gives the dish sweetness and the nuggets of bread act as the mortar as well as a sponge to soak up all the flavours. We never have much to say when it comes to stuffing but the one made here certainly got our attention.

CAULIFLOWER & BULGUR SALAD

With every Christmas roast there are a wealth of side dish options and accompaniments that go alongside it, most—take salads for example—are interchangeable, and contrary to what you may believe, not all salads have to consist of leafy, green veggies.

A salad that comes with a surprising amount of flavourful depth and a subtle smoky note to it, is the Cauliflower & Bulgur Salad (S$20++). Roasted prior to being tossed with the bulgur wheat, the salad takes on a subtle burnt note that gives the salad depth.

GARLIC MASH

Don’t be fooled by its plain appearance. Loaded with butter and fresh garlic, the Garlic Mash (S$20++) is heaven on Earth for anyone who loves a good mashed potato. Mashed to a smooth consistency but doing well to leave some chunks in, the mash complemented the roast meats beautifully.

ROASTED WINTER VEGETABLES

While Christmas is often more of a meaty affair, greens are an integral part as well, and you would do well not to forgo their Roasted Winter Vegetables (S$20++).

Most of the veggies that go into this heaping pile are flavoured with honey and thyme butter which give it a sweet and savoury tinge along with a velvety sheen. A vegetarian option that stands up well on its own, we dare admit that being vegetarian or not, this delicious side dish option is something that we’d readily gun for in a heartbeat.

RAINBOW LOG CAKE

Encased in a dense creamy exterior but revealing a stunning rainbow centre when cut into, the Rainbow Log Cake (S$60++) is something that’ll resonate well with both the young and the young at heart.

The layer of cream may feel too rich at first but the sweet, fruity-flavoured interior more than makes up for it.

MACADAMIA CHOCOLATE LOG CAKE WITH RED VELVET SPONGE

Presenting a medley of soft and crunchy textures and a luxurious burst of chocolate, the Macadamia Chocolate Log Cake with Red Velvet (S$60++) is bound to make you squeal like a kid. Layer upon layer of decadent goodness, this epic dessert comes generously filled with whole macadamia nuts that sit neatly atop a pillow of red velvet.

A rich, decadent delight, the red velvet sponge cake at the bottom centre does well to remind you that it is still a cake.

If you happen to be a Mastercard holder, you’re in luck, because we’re extending a 10% Mastercard discount to you. All you’ve got to do is quote ‘ladyironchef10’ upon checkout online or when you call to make a booking.
