Goodwood Park Singapore Christmas - Eat, Drink and Be Merry with Enchanting Selection of Festive Treats and Exclusive Dining Experiences
This Christmas, Goodwood Park Hotel marks its monumental 125th anniversary with a spectacular lineup of festive treats. An impressive collection that blends the hotel’s timeless culinary heritage with fresh, innovative flavours. Available for walk-in purchases at The Deli from 15 November to 26 December 2025, the selection spans hearty savoury centrepieces, playful sharing favourites and stunning desserts. Online pre-orders are also available via their festive site.
Among this year’s standout creations is the Steam-Baked Turkey stuffed with Chestnut, Ham and Vegetables, served uniquely with Yam Rice and Chef’s Special Chilli Sauce. This delightful Asian-inspired twist feels both nostalgic and comforting. The bird is tender and aromatic, while the accompanying chilli sauce adds a punch that sets it apart from typical takeaway turkeys.
Goodwood Park also introduces two versions of Turkey Pot Pie, reinvented with flair. The curry-spiced rendition is full-bodied and fragrant, while the creamy butternut squash version, with caramelised onions and cranberries, strikes a lovely balance of sweet and savoury. For something heartier, the Turkey Spinach Lasagne layers soft sheets of pasta with creamy spinach and turkey, making for a cosy, festive staple. The Snowy Nyonya Turkey Buns are a charming addition — pillowy-soft steamed buns wrapped around a moreish turkey filling, evoking a nostalgic Singaporean touch.
Meat lovers can look forward to the beautifully Roasted Australian Wagyu Ribeye with Yorkshire Pudding, Vegetables and Merlot Sauce. The ribeye is juicy with a satisfying crust, paired with airy Yorkshire pudding and a rich wine sauce that ties everything together.
Equally indulgent is the Slow-roasted Ibérico Pork Belly, roasted low and slow for over three hours with sherry vinegar and white wine. The result: immaculate crackling, luscious layers of fat and meat, and deep flavour. The sides — Potato Gratin with Gruyère and Parmesan, tangy pickled white cabbage, apple sauce, and smoked bacon-infused jus — complete the dish with satisfying richness and balance.
A classic staple, the Honey-glazed Boneless Ham with vanilla-pineapple sauce offers sweet, tender slices that appeal to all ages.
Back by popular demand, the DIY Turkey Popiah Set (up to 10 pax) remains a crowd favourite. It’s perfect for potlucks, bringing fun to the table with tender turkey breast, sweet turnip, eggs, peanuts, mushrooms, sambal and more — an interactive and flavour-packed way to celebrate together.
No Goodwood Christmas is complete without their star-studded dessert lineup. This year introduces the elegant Earl Grey Winter Sleigh Log Cake — a sophisticated creation featuring an Earl Grey crémeux with Jivara chocolate, pistachio sponge and raspberry compote resting on a crisp kunafa base. Encased in pistachio mousse and adorned with reindeer-shaped white chocolate décor, it delivers fragrance, crunch and creamy indulgence in every slice.
Another new creation, the Yuletide Chocolate Travel Cake is a superb option — rich, dense and intensely chocolatey, featuring Manjari chocolate cake, a vanilla-spiced apricot compote centre, and a glossy dark chocolate almond glaze. Its whimsical miniature log shape makes it ideal for gifting.
The Crisp-mas Pistachio Kunafa Tart (500g) is a visual and textural showstopper, combining caramelised pistachios, roasted kunafa, and silky pastry cream in a chocolate-sugar crust — reminiscent of the viral Dubai Chocolate flavour profile but elevated with Goodwood Park finesse.
For those who prefer something lighter, the Merry Berry Nutty Tart offers a refreshing mix of fruits and nuts atop almond cream and pastry cream — pretty, bright and delightfully festive.
In the spirit of the holidays, Goodwood Park Hotel will donate 10% of sales from Christmas log cakes and tarts to The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund, making each purchase a meaningful contribution.
Note: This is an invited tasting.

Momolato @ North Bridge Road - New Halal Dessert Cafe with Gelato, Kunafa Waffle and Savoury Options
Momolato, a halal-certified dessert cafe, has opened its second outlet on North Bridge Road following the success of its first location in Haji Lane. The cafe now offers an expanded menu featuring plated desserts, savoury options, and signature gelato.
The cosy 20-seater has a warm atmosphere and is adorably decorated.
Gelato 3.8/5
Diners will be spoilt for choice at their 24 rotating Gelato flavours display. Scoops start at $5.30, with premium selections available for an additional $1. Unique flavours such as Popcorn Butterscotch and Hibiscus Apple offer intriguing options, although all that we sampled leaned toward the sweeter side.
Warabi Mochi Coffee 3.5/5
From the beverage menu, the Warabi Mochi Coffee caught our eye. The Emerald Beast ($8.50) combines roasted Sicilian pistachio, pistachio milk, espresso, and warabi mochi, while the Shady & Nut ($7.90) features chocolate hazelnut milk, hazelnut bits, espresso, and warabi mochi. All warabi mochi used are homemade.
Sicilian Pistachio Kunafa 4.2/5
A highlight is the newly launched Sicilian Pistachio Kunafa ($21), a plated dessert that pairs a buttermilk waffle with crisp ricotta-mozzarella kuna fa, Sicilian pistachio cream, caramelised banana, torched fig, and pistachio gelato, offering delightful textural contrasts.
Fried Buttermilk Garlic Chicken Waffle 3.8/5
The savoury Fried Buttermilk Garlic Chicken Waffle ($16.90) features buttermilk chicken with truffle cheese sauce and maple honey, though the sauce could benefit from a thicker consistency.
Cheddar Cheese Coin 3/5
It was a pity that our Cheddar Cheese Coin ($6.50) seemed to have less cheese added, which led to the lack of an oozy cheese stretch we were hoping for. Otherwise, the batter itself was buttery and fragrant.
Yellow Fever 3.8/5
The Yellow Fever ($16) blends mango pudding, coconut cream, and mangoes in syrup, topped with coconut gelato, reminiscent of tropical desserts like mango sticky rice and mango sago.
Korean Strawberry Cheesecake 3/5
Fans of mochi can look out for their mochi-centred desserts, such as the Korean Strawberry Cheesecake ($12). It has deep-fried mochi wrapped around Korean strawberry cheesecake gelato and drizzled with strawberry sauce. While the chewy mochi was enjoyable, the drizzle felt overly sweet and slightly artificial. We would also have liked the cheesecake flavour to be more distinct.
Not Plain Jane 3.8/5
Finally, the Not Plain Jane ($12). This thin crepe is filled with fresh vanilla cream and topped with strawberries and French vanilla bean gelato. The sweetness here was well-balanced.
