Located at the heart of Orchard Road, the hotel presents a thoughtfully curated Christmas line-up that caters to every kind of celebration — whether you’re gathering around a lavish buffet, indulging in a refined afternoon tea, or hosting a memorable feast at home with premium takeaway delights.

MarriottTangXmas2025-8

This year’s festive offerings are particularly exciting, with the debut of 10 new takeaway creations that reimagine traditional Christmas favourites through refined techniques and luxurious ingredients. From indulgent roasts to eye-catching yule log cakes, the collection is designed to bring warmth, indulgence and a touch of elegance to every festive table.

MarriottTangXmas2025-1
Cointreau Marmalade-Glazed Whole Roast Turkey

A Christmas classic elevated to new heights, the Cointreau Marmalade-Glazed Whole Roast Turkey ($265, 4.5–5kg, serves 6–8) is sourced from the USA and meticulously prepared. Brined for 24 hours and dry-aged for enhanced flavour, the turkey is finished with herb butter beneath the skin to ensure juicy tenderness. The Cointreau marmalade glaze adds a delightful citrus brightness to the golden, caramelised skin. Served with Chestnut and Duck Foie Gras Stuffing and Cranberry & Port Wine Sauce, this is a true centrepiece worthy of any festive gathering.

MarriottTangXmas2025-5
Honey & Clove Glazed Ham (Boneless) with Cinnamon Pineapple Sauce

Slow-roasted and generously glazed, the Honey & Clove Glazed Ham ($210, 2-3Kg) delivers comforting festive flavours with its rich caramelisation and aromatic spices. The accompanying cinnamon pineapple sauce adds a fragrant, fruity lift that beautifully balances the smoky sweetness.

MarriottTangXmas2025-15
Roast Pork Saddle with Truffle & Amarena Cherry Stuffing with Bourbon Cherry Sauce

This indulgent roast - Roast Pork Saddle with Truffle & Amarena Cherry Stuffing with Bourbon Cherry Sauce ($240 nett, 2 kg, serves 6 to 8 persons) showcases crisp, ASMR-worthy crackling paired with tender, juicy meat. Butterflied and stuffed with Italian black truffle paste and Amarena cherries, the pork saddle is finished with a tangy-sweet bourbon cherry sauce that cuts through the richness effortlessly.

MarriottTangXmas2025-10
Slow-Roasted Black Angus Beef Striploin with Port Wine Sauce & Horseradish Cream

Marinated for up to four days with fragrant herbs, the Black Angus Beef Striploin ($310 nett, 2 kg, serves 6 to 8 persons) is slow-roasted until meltingly tender. Served with a velvety Port Wine Sauce and a sharp Horseradish Cream, each bite is rich, balanced and deeply satisfying.

MarriottTangXmas2025-11
Smoky BBQ Mount Gay Barbados Rum & Bacon-Glazed Iberico Pork Ribs

The Smoky BBQ Mount Gay Barbados Rum & Bacon-Glazed Iberico Pork Ribs ($195 nett, 1.5 kg to 1.8 kg, serves 6 to 8 persons) is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. These Iberico pork ribs are sous vide for 18 hours for fall-off-the-bone tenderness, then glazed with Mount Gay Barbados Rum, smoky bacon, and spices before oven-baking. The sweet-savoury finish is addictive, and the inclusion of a petite bottle of rum adds a playful festive touch.

MarriottTangXmas2025-21
Whole Lobster al Forno with Scallop, Crab Roe & Morel Stuffing with Crab Lemon Cavatelli Pasta

The Whole Lobster al Forno with Scallop, Crab Roe & Morel Stuffing with Crab Lemon Cavatelli Pasta ($275) is an impressive dish featuring an Australian whole lobster, generously stuffed with Hokkaido scallops, earthy morels and rich crab roe, served with Crab Lemon Cavatelli Pasta. Oven-roasted to enhance its natural sweetness, it is paired with Crab Lemon Cavatelli Pasta — al dente, citrusy and refreshing — making it a refined yet comforting sharing dish.

MarriottTangXmas2025-35
Signature Chocolate Fudge Log Cake

The Signature Chocolate Fudge Log Cake (1 kg, $90 nett / 500 g, $60 nett) is a perennial favourite for good reason. This chocolate indulgence uses premium Felchlin Sao Palme chocolate for deep, lingering richness that chocoholics will adore.

MarriottTangXmas2025-36
Apple Kiwi Yuletide Express

The Apple Kiwi Yuletide Express (1 kg, $95 nett) is bright, playful and refreshing. This vibrant cake layers lemon yoghurt mousse, kiwi coulis, apple compote and vanilla sponge atop a feuilletine crumble base — a fruity showstopper perfect for lighter palates.

MarriottTangXmas2025-30
Avocado Noël Cream Cake

The Avocado Noël Cream Cake (1 kg, $95 nett) is a whimsical festive creation featuring lemon cream cheese mousse, avocado crémeux and gula melaka sponge, complemented by yuzu coconut marshmallows. Light yet indulgent, it’s a delightful surprise that’s especially popular with the ladies.

MarriottTangXmas2025-37
Hazelnut Coffee Yule Log

Elegant and bold, the Hazelnut Coffee Yule Log (1 kg, $95 nett) combines white chocolate coffee mousse, coffee crémeux, hazelnut dacquoise and crunchy praline feuilletine for layers of luxurious texture and flavour.

Pacific Emporium @ Pan Pacific Singapore - Launches Festive Afternoon Tea For The Festive Season

IMG_9700

Celebrate the festive season with Pacific Emporium’s Festive Afternoon Tea, a thoughtfully curated spread of savoury bites, festive sweets, Christmas-inspired scones, and a choice of mains. The experience is complemented with TWG tea or coffee, with the option to add on a glass of champagne to amp up the celebratory mood.

IMG_9702

We started with a complimentary welcome drink, Cinnamon Spark, a sweet-citrusy blend of cinnamon-honey syrup, fresh lemon juice, and aromatic bitters, which nicely set the tone for the afternoon.

IMG_9677
Turkey Slider

Each guest gets to choose one main. The Turkey Slider featured a juicy turkey patty tucked between buttery brioche, layered with sweet caramelised onions and cheese.

IMG_9691
Sampler of Festive Sausages

The Sampler of Festive Sausages, which included a Basil Pesto Bratwurst and Garlic Butter Sausage, was well-seasoned and juicy.

IMG_9663
Salmon & Cheese Roulade

IMG_9656
Lobster Salad

The savoury bites include festive creations. The Salmon & Cheese Roulade was a classic pairing of smoked salmon and cream cheese, while the Lobster Salad, cleverly presented as a local-inspired kueh pie tee, proved a delightful surprise.

IMG_9669
Apple & Walnut Savoury Tart

Other savouries included Prosciutto e Melone, offering a light and refreshing contrast, and the Apple & Walnut Savoury Tart, which delivered a buttery, nutty bite with a hint of freshness.

IMG_9657
Grilled Chicken Choux Bun

IMG_9650
Breaded Ham & Cheese Sandwich

The Grilled Chicken Choux Bun was sweet-savoury and filling, packed with a creamy yet chunky chicken filling. Breaded Ham & Cheese Sandwich was served hot and pleasantly different from the usual cold tea sandwiches.

IMG_9628
Hazelnut Passion Fruit Log Cake

The sweet treats this season leaned towards citrusy notes. The Hazelnut Passion Fruit Log Cake was nutty and fragrant, made with buckwheat sponge and layered with tart passion fruit curd.

IMG_9645
Earl Grey Lavender Log Cake

The iridescent Earl Grey Lavender Log Cake intrigued with its Earl Grey Tanariva mousse, though the crunchy dark chocolate tended to dominate the overall flavour.

IMG_9637
Apricot Dianduja Tart

IMG_9625
Raspberry Rosella Choux

My favourites were the Apricot Dianduja Tart and Raspberry Rosella Choux. The tart struck the right balance of sweetness, with distinct yet harmonious chocolate and apricot flavours. The choux, on the other hand, had a spot-on tartness that beautifully balanced the sweetness.

IMG_9647
Lemon Hazelnut Madeleine

IMG_9683
Scones

The Lemon Hazelnut Madeleine was buttery with a gentle citrus lift, while the scones were served with clotted cream, cherry jam, and chocolate hazelnut spread. They were decent, though not particularly memorable.

IMG_9671

Overall, Pacific Emporium’s Festive Afternoon Tea is a well-rounded option for a relaxed, festive catch-up. In particular, the sweet options stood out for their well-balanced flavours and sweetness.
