Verandah Rooftop Rotisserie @ Momentus Hotel Alexandra - New Buffet Menu with Premium Meat Offerings and A La Carte Delights

Verandah Rooftop Rotisserie, located on the 7th level of Momentus Hotel Alexandra, is known for its poolside dining experience, where you get to feast with a view that looks out across the canopy of The Southern Ridges. Offering a unique concept of modern European cuisine infuses an Asian twist. Its latest Weekend Buffet Dinner menu includes premium meat offerings and new a la carte delights.

Seafood On Ice

The Seafood on Ice Station was bountiful with beautiful Live Pacific Oysters, Poached Sea Prawns and Black Mussels.

Charcuterie and Antipasti

Smoked Salmon

The Cold Larder station is allured with an extensive selection of chilled items, featuring a range of Charcuterie and Antipasti. Don't miss the in-house Smoked Salmon - it's arguably one of the best I've had in buffet spreads, offering a delectable, luscious texture and mouthfeel.

75°C Slow Roasted Argentinian Angus Beef Ribeye Australian Wagyu Tomahawk

The main draw of the buffet dinner is the Live Action Kitchen of succulent roasts. The 75°C Slow Roasted Argentinian Angus Beef Ribeye excites all senses as you watch the chef expertly grills your order a la minute on Hibachi Grill with Binchotan. With this extra step of grilling, the meat's flavours are definitely superior to a regular roast. Australian Wagyu Tomahawk adds to the feast as well.

48-Hour Citrus Brined Rotisserie Chicken

Crackling Stuffed Porchetta

Verandah Rooftop Rotisserie's signature 48-hour Citrus Brined Rotisserie Chicken isn't just your regular rotisserie-style chicken. Marinated with a blend of 12 spices, the meat was moist and tender, carrying the delectable flavours of its citrus brine, especially the chicken skin. The Crackling Stuffed Porchetta was a hit too. I love the end of the porchetta, which carried a good portion of the crackling!

Parmigiano Cheese Wheel Pasta

Parmigiano Cheese Wheel Pasta is a crowd-pleaser. Every plate is prepared fresh upon order. I enjoyed the chunks of the parmigiano that were tossed into the pasta.

Pizzas

Hand-stretched, thin-crust sourdough pizzas are freshly baked in a wood-fired oven using applewood. Three flavours are available - Classic Margherita, Seafood Sakura Ebi that tastes very much like Takoyaki, and a more saucy Gochujang Chicken.

Wood Fire Seafood Paella

The Wood Fire Seafood Paella is worth a mention. Not often will you find this dish offered in a buffet; its quality is restaurant-worthy or even better.

Grilled Octopus

Seared Scallops

Diners are invited to scan a QR code to order. A La Carte delights will be served at your table. The selection is impressive - Fish en Papillote, Cod fish, Seared Scallops, Grilled Octopus and Burnt Iberico Pork Secreto. Even though each is served in individual portions, every item is thoughtfully plated. I was particularly delighted by the Grilled Octopus that was accompanied by a Pedron Pepper, which added a special touch to the presentation and flavours.

Cod Fish

The Cod Fish was aptly seared, attaining a delightful char on the edges that added to its flavour profile. The pickled ginger slices served on the side provided a tangy contrast to cut through the richness of the fish's meat.

Dessert creations include Sticky Date Pudding, Buttery Madeleines, and a Choux A La Creme tower with caramel. The Pink Chocolate Fondue was mesmerising and pretty delicious too. But what I liked most was the Sago Pudding, which is a rare tasty treat for a buffet spread.

Sago Pudding

Weekend Buffet Dinner Fri & Sat: 6:00pm – 10:00pm $88++ per adult, $42++ per child (6 – 11 years old)

LUCE by Davide Giacomelli @ InterContinental Singapore - launches new Italian Bistronomic Champagne Brunch

LUCE by Davide Giacomelli at InterContinental Singapore recently launched a new Italian Bistronomic Champagne Brunch, featuring an extensive buffet line of Cold Starters, Hot Specialities, Pinsas, desserts and live stations, jazzed up with the accompaniment of live music.

Charcuterie Room

One may start off from the Charcuterie Room, located right beside the main entrance of Luce. It impresses with a wide selection of imported cheese and cold cuts from Italy such as Grana Padano, Mozzarella, Taleggio, Mortadella and Cured Ham, all lined up with a slab of honeycomb as a centerpiece. Alongside the cheeses and cold cuts you will also find Bread and Condiments such as Focaccia, Baguettes, as well as interesting spreads Grissini Sundried Tomato Butter and Basil Pesto Butter.

Aged Parma Ham Wrapped Rock Melon

One of my favourite Cold starters is this Aged Parma Ham Wrapped Rock Melon - The parma ham had such a luscious bite to it, and its savouriness was well paired with the sweetness of the juicy rock melon.

One of the main drawn of the Champagne Brunch is the Seafood and Sashimi on Ice. Perfect with champagne, you will have your freshly- shucked oysters, Boston lobster, snow crab leg, tiger prawns, and sashimi.

Cheese Wheel Pasta Cacio e Pepe

Moving on to the Live Stations, Cheese Wheel Pasta Cacio e Pepe is also one of the highlights - made ala minute, you will have your freshly-prepared Mafaldine Pasta tossed inside a Parmesan Cheese Wheel. Best enjoy when its hot from the wheel!

And no brunch buffet is complete without a good roasted meat. At the Meat Carving station, enjoy Slow Oven Roasted Angus Beef Striploin, served with condiments such as caramelised onions and Dijon Mustard.

Orecchia di Elefante

Hot stations give you a taste of Italy, such as this specialty of Lombardy, the Orecchia di Elefante– a bone-in, thinly sliced tender veal meat that is breaded and fried. Known as the “elephant ear”, Chef Davide has his fried in clarified butter for richer flavours.

One of my favourites is the Eggs a l’ Amatriciana. Lovers of baked eggs dishes and runny yolk will definitely be awed by this brunch item. The golden yolks of the Cage Free Eggs were satisfyingly unctuous, and the tomato sauce which is loaded with with pancetta and perfectly cooked-down red onions was vibrant with flavours.

Spezzatino di Manzo is another hearty hot dish - Italian Beef Stew with Mediterranean Vegetables such as capsicums and mushrooms. Both the softened beef and vegetables were beautifully flavoured.

Hand-tossed Italian Pinsas

Pinsas station is a hot favourite with its variety of hand-tossed Italian Pinsas freshly made once each flavour runs out. There are classic flavours such as the Margherita and Four Cheese, but I quite fancy the fancier creation Rustica Pinsa, topped with Scamorza – an Italian cow’s milk cheese layered with Bacon, Zucchini and Potato.

Salad Bar

Club Salmon Norwegian

The Salad Bar is wholesome and vibrant with organic Vegetable from local farms. There is also a selection of finger food such as Club Sandwich Smoked Turkey, Club Salmon Norwegian and Chilled Marinated Heirloom Tomato Soup.

Bread & Butter Pudding

Crostata Pistachio Strawberry Frangipane

Crunchy Choux Pastries

The Dessert station allures you with a plethora of desserts handcrafted by Executive Pastry Chef Desmond Lee - The Crostata Pistachio Strawberry Frangipane is stunning with green pistachio hues and gorgeous red strawberries, Bread & Butter Pudding with Baileys Vanilla Sauce beckons with its beautiful golden crust and the petite Crunchy Choux Pastries look simply irresistible. And many more awaits.

Italian Bistronomic Champagne Brunch is available every Sunday 12 to 3pm. For a complete experience, get free flow Taittinger Champagne or Italian Franciacorta, Aperol Spritz and selected Cocktails and Wines at $158 or with free flow Prosecco, Peroni Beer, Aperol Spritz and soft drinks at $138.
