Sheraton Towers Singapore - Festive Celebrations At The Dining Room

IMG_9038

For this festive season, Sheraton Towers Singapore presents an extravagant buffet spread and a selection of festive takeaways featuring beloved holiday classics at The Dining Room.

IMG_8914

Staying true to tradition, the symbolic Oven-roasted Christmas Turkey is a classic done right - golden-brown skin with succulent, tender meat.

BBQ Glazed Wagyu Rump

Citrus Tamarind-Glazed Semi Bone-in Gammon Ham

You can also enjoy the BBQ Glazed Wagyu Rump, rich and flavourful, and the Citrus Tamarind-Glazed Semi Bone-in Gammon Ham, served with a bright pineapple sauce that lifts the overall profile.

Spicy Turmeric Coconut Turkey

For festive takeaways, The Dining Room introduces a bolder reinterpretation of the classic turkey: the Spicy Turmeric Coconut Turkey ($208). Inspired by traditional Singapore Malay flavours, it is served with tomato basmati rice, green bean kerabu, and mung bean crackers. Infused with turmeric, bird’s eye chilli, and rich coconut milk, it offers warm, familiar notes that will add depth and colour to your festive table.

Seafood on Ice

Sushi and Sashimi

The buffet also showcases a lavish Seafood on Ice selection, along with Sushi and Sashimi.

Cheese and Charcuterie Counter

The Cheese and Charcuterie Counter is fully stocked with an impressive variety of cheeses, condiments, and artisanal charcuterie. The Salad Bar is equally delightful, offering beautifully plated salads alongside a vibrant selection of fresh greens.

Parmesan Herb-crusted Maine Lobster

An array of premium hot dishes, such as Parmesan Herb-crusted Maine Lobster, is complemented by a variety of Chinese and Asian specialities.

IMG_9003

To elevate the festive atmosphere, an outdoor BBQ station adds smoky, crowd-pleasing flavours to the experience.

IMG_9008
Baked Brie En Croûte

One of my favourites was definitely the Baked Brie En Croûte. Prepared à la minute, the warm, oozy brie has a lightly caramelised, flaky exterior and is served atop crusty toast. Paired generously with honey and nuts, it was wonderfully decadent.

IMG_8957
Spiced Pumpkin Meringue Tart

IMG_8955
White Forest

Desserts were incredible. Classics such as Panettone, Almond Stollen, and Christmas Fruit Cake were beautifully executed, alongside more creative additions like the Spiced Pumpkin Meringue Tart and White Forest, a new creation featuring vanilla sponge and griottines cherries. Of course, no festive spread would be complete without a classic logcake, and their Crunchy Chocolate Praline Logcake proved to be a definite crowd-pleaser.

10|SCOTTS @ Grand Hyatt Singapore - Relaunch of The Grand Afternoon Tea

IMG_7619

Following the official completion of the redevelopment of Grand Hyatt Singapore, 10|SCOTTS welcomes you back with the relaunch of its Grand Afternoon Tea. This thoughtfully curated semi-buffet celebrates provenance and sustainability, and rounds off the experience with a tableside tier of desserts.

IMG_7620
Artisanal Cheeses & Charcuterie

The savoury spread showcases artisanal Cheeses, Charcuterie, seasonal produce, and the chef’s signatures. The cheeses are specially selected from Les Frères Marchand, one of France’s oldest and largest cheese-maturing houses with a heritage spanning 7 generations. These prized cheeses are paired with freshly shaved charcuterie and the quintessential accompaniments of nuts, dried fruits, chutney, and olives.

IMG_7663
ASC-certified Smoked Salmon

Sustainability takes centre stage with highlights such as the ASC-certified Smoked Salmon, responsibly sourced in line with Aquaculture Stewardship Council standards, paired simply with horseradish cream and capers.

IMG_7669
ASC Seafood Vol-au-vent

Chef’s Signature presents ASC Seafood Vol-au-vent, a delicious buttery pastry generously filled with prawns, crab, and seafood bisque, delivering rich, crustacean-driven flavours.

IMG_7641
Tomato Toast with White Anchovies

IMG_7728
Spanish Gazpacho

On the day of our visit, a standout was the Tomato Toast with White Anchovies, where the natural sweetness of the tomato harmonised with the savoury anchovies. This was complemented by a Spanish Gazpacho, which brought out the bright, refreshing flavours of fresh tomatoes.

IMG_7633(1)
Salad Counter

IMG_7736
Roasted Pumpkin with Yoghurt

At the Salad Counter, crisp organic vegetables were offered alongside antipasti, condiments, and house dressings. A plated salad of Roasted Pumpkin with Yoghurt added warmth, while fresh figs made a delightful seasonal appearance.

IMG_7676
Scones

Scones were served warm to the table, accompanied by clotted cream, jam, and kaya. The kaya, with its mousse-like texture, was lighter than the traditional version, making it a perfect complement to the buttery scones. The jam leaned slightly tart, adding balance.

IMG_7709
Vanilla Mille-Feuille

IMG_7710
Red Wine Poached Pear

The dessert tier is also served at your table. A supposed Vanilla Mille-Feuille with Red Wine Poached Pear turned out closer to a French butter cookie, crunchy and buttery, though it veered a touch cloyingly sweet.

IMG_7721
Citrus Pavlova

IMG_7700
Opera Cake, Raspberry Fruit Tart, Chocolate Mousse

The Opera Cake stood out for its deep coffee intensity, while the Citrus Pavlova was dainty and airy. A Seasonal Fruit Tart rounded out the set, marrying tart raspberries with a sweet, custard-like base. While the savouries stood out, the sweets as a whole felt a little too sweet, which overshadowed some of their finer details.

IMG_7726

Overall, while the sweet offerings leaned a little too sweet for my palate, the savoury selections were well-executed and memorable. With wooden bookshelves reminiscent of a library, plush couches, and inviting seating arrangements, 10|SCOTTS feels less like a restaurant and more like a grand living room, offering a warm, comfortable escape from the bustle of Orchard Road.

LUCE @ InterContinental Singapore - The Bigger, Better Buffet Experience

LuceJune25-4

LUCE at InterContinental Singapore ups the ante on the hotel buffet scene with the launch of its all-new "Bigger Better Buffet", available daily for dinner and for lunch from Monday to Saturday. The refreshed spread showcases a wider variety of dishes and new live stations, all under the direction of newly appointed Chef de Cuisine Giuseppe Di Gaetano, whose Italian flair breathes fresh life into LUCE's offerings.

No buffet is complete without a lavish Seafood on Ice section, and LUCE certainly delivers. Diners can feast on a bounty of ocean treasures, including Japanese oysters, Australian yabbies, cold water prawns, white clams, half-shell scallops, and sea whelk – fresh, briny, and indulgent.

Premium Charcuterie

Equally impressive is the Charcuterie section, featuring Smoked Virginia Ham, Chambost Saucisson, and Artisanal Pork Terrine. Paired with a glass of wine, these cold cuts set the tone for a luxurious dining experience. The rotating antipasti selection also makes for a delightful prelude to the heavier mains – light, vibrant, and flavourful.

One of the standout sections of the buffet is undoubtedly the Asian Delights, which even includes items prepared by the Man Fu Yuan culinary team. Favourites like Netted Seafood Spring Roll, Deep-fried Tiger Prawns with Almond Flakes, Crispy Cereal Chicken, and a bold Singapore Chilli Prawn shine with authentic local flair. A rich and hearty Lu Rou Fan also stands out among the spread.

Reflecting Singapore’s cultural diversity, LUCE also includes a strong showing of Peranakan and Malay dishes. On rotation are homey classics like Nonya Chap Chye, Assam Seabass Curry, and the savoury-sweet Ayam Masak Hitam, each prepared with care and respect for tradition.

LuceJune25-34

Chef Giuseppe's Italian heritage is proudly showcased in his hearty, soulful creations. The Ragout alla Napoletana, with slow-braised pork ribs and Italian sausage, is a comforting embrace of deep tomato flavours. The Agnello alla Birra Scura, featuring Guinness-braised lamb, is tender and richly layered, while the Impepata di Cozze delights with its briny black mussels in white wine, garlic, and lemon. The Sicilian-style Branzino offers a lighter, elegant counterpoint – a beautifully baked sustainable barramundi with cherry tomatoes and capers. Not to be missed are the showstoppers: the Rigatoni alla Grecia, tossed in LUCE's signature parmesan cheese wheel, and the indulgent Nero di Seppia Pinsa, topped with squid ink tomato sauce, prawns, clams, and mussels.

With the addition of more live stations to the buffet, guests can now enjoy interactive dining with a touch of drama. The Oven-Roasted Angus Beef Striploin is carved to order and paired with shallot red wine jus and gourmet mustards, while the Baked Norwegian Salmon in Puff Pastry, filled with Cajun-spiced salmon and savoy cabbage, impresses with its balance of texture and flavour. At the Italian station, the Tagliatelle al Ragout di Pesce – tossed in a lobster seafood sauce and finished tableside in the parmesan wheel – is rich, luxurious, and beautifully executed. Another highlight is the Signature InterContinental Laksa, a refined version of the local favourite, made à la minute with tiger prawns, quail eggs, and a housemade laksa broth infused with laksa leaf powder for an aromatic finish.

LuceJune25-21

Cheese lovers will appreciate the dedicated cheese room, offering a curated selection of Cheeses and accompaniments. Be sure to save room for desserts – meticulously crafted confections that are as stunning as they are satisfying, offering a sweet finale to an impressive buffet journey.

LuceJune25-38

LuceJune25-42

With its expanded spread, elevated live stations, and Chef Giuseppe’s Italian signatures, LUCE’s Bigger Better Buffet lives up to its name – a sophisticated, well-rounded buffet experience that’s both indulgent and memorable.
