Ring in the holiday cheer with a sumptuous spread and great company this festive season at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering’s with Lime Restaurant’s delightful festive line-up available from 1 December 2022 to 2 January 2023, including the extra festive Christmas and New Year Buffets from 24 to 26 December, 31 December, and 1 to 2 January 2023.

The indulgence begins at the Seafood Bar, where you can indulge in some crustacean delights of fresh Prawns, Mussels, Gong Gongs and Oysters, as well as a selection of Sashimi and Sushi.

Festive highlights include the savoury gourmet roasts of the Roast Herb Crusted Sirloin, Traditional Roast Turkey, and Triple Glazed Ham.

The meats are best paired with a side of their seasonal vegetables, Vegetable Autumn Pie, crispy Potato Croquettes and Vegetarian Lasagne.

Fans of local flavours can head for the Chinese dishes such as the Wok-fried Asian Green with Garlic, Salt & Pepper Prawns and the Braised Pork Belly with Steamed Mantou.

Not to be missed is the Laksa, featuring a delicious spicy broth brimming with ingredients such as fish cake, quail egg, bean sprouts, taupok and crayfish.

Throughout the meal, LIME's featured chefs will also present their signature pass-around tasting dishes, including the well-loved Lobster Linguini, Prawn Cocktail, and Spicy Prawn Wonton made a la minute. Guests are also able to make requests for unlimited servings of these special dishes. We particularly enjoyed the a la minute dishes such as the briny Lobster Linguine and refreshing Prawn Cocktail, which comes loaded with cubes of juicy sweet mango and tender prawn meat.

Christmas would not be complete without Lime’s quintessential Christmas Log Cakes, such as the Christmas Chocolate Yule Log, and the festive sweet treats including the Gingerbread Latte Pudding, Minced Fruit Pie, Festive Stollen, Candied Panettone, and Christmas Fruit Cake.

An extensive selection of savoury gourmet roasts, celebration sets and delectable desserts are available for purchase at Lime on the Go via https://shop-parkroyalcollectionpickering.panpacific.com/en_SG from 15 November 2022.

Atrium @ Pan Pacific Singapore - Launches The Brand New Panache Of Singapore Afternoon Tea

Located on the first floor of Pan Pacific Singapore, the Atrium Lounge is known for its iconic seating pods floating over a reflective pool. It recently launched the brand-new Panache of Singapore Afternoon Tea, available daily from 12pm to 6pm. One can look forward to an enhanced dining experience with refreshed presentation and added touches such as welcome cocktail and amuse bouche, as well as enchanting melodies played live on a magnificent grand piano.

The afternoon tea comprises an ode to the classic indulgence with a touch of Singaporean flavours. Highlights include the Durian Choux, Singaporean Chilli Crab Brioche Roll, Pandan Cheesecake, and Classic Scones paired with Chef Dannevien’s handmade Pineapple and Peppercorn jam.

The sweets selection features local favourites such as the Durian Choux, and Pandan Cheesecake on the first tier, as well as the Lychee Chestnut Gâteaux, Dulcey Chocolate Passion Tart, and White Chocolate Banana Gâteaux.

My favourite is the Durian Choux, filled with creamy and indulgent Mao Shan Wang durian and Gula Melaka for a hint of sweetness.

The White Chocolate Bana Gateaux features ivory whipped ganache layered with fluffy chocolate cake, complete with a crunchy praline feuilletine and soft banana confit that provide different dimensions of textures and flavours.

Savouries include the Singaporean Chilli Crab Brioche Roll, Homemade Virginia Ham Sandwich, Laksa Tart, Egg Pinwheel Roll, and Cucumber Sandwich.

Not to be missed is the Singaporean Chilli Crab Brioche Roll, with a fluffy soft brioche roll filled with crabmeat and savoury sweet chilli sauce. Another local favourite is the Laksa Tart, baked with laksa spices and topped with poached shrimp.

These decadent afternoon treats will not be complete without the finest beverage selection. Choose from an elaborate range of nearly 20 types of TWG Tea loose leaf, featuring locally inspired Singapore Breakfast and Weekend in Singapore and aromatic brews from Bacha Coffee. Take the teatime affair up a notch and sip on dreamy bubbly or toast to an Espresso Noisette and Brewberry Colada, handcrafted cocktail and non-alcoholic cocktail by Atrium's mixologists.

The Line @ Shangri-La Singapore - The Line's Multi-Sensorial Buffet Experience Returns

The Line, Shangri-La Singapore’s buffet restaurant, has reopened its live theatre kitchens and culinary stations, where guests can now come up close and personal to catch the chefs in action preparing their favourite food and serving them. Accompanying this latest move is an update of its menu, including six signature dishes across Western, Middle Eastern, Indian and Southeast Asian cuisines.

Start the feast with a variety of cheeses from the cheese deck or salad corner, where you can customise your own from a selection of salad choices.

Dive right into the Japanese section. Apart from the fresh seafood and sashimi, it now has a Tuna Poke Bowl, Salmon Aburi Maki and Salmon Sushi Aburi.

We had the Double Boiled Duck Soup, which was a comforting bowl of goodness prior to a night of indulgent feasting. The rich, flavourful broth was worth going for a second round.

Beef lovers will enjoy the two variations available. The first is with Hainanese-style noodles in collaboration with Wah Eng Beef Noodles, which popularised the dish, featuring a thick gravy and slices of tendon, pickled vegetables and grated peanuts. The second is the Roasted Australian Angus Prime Rib, marinated overnight with French mustard, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and fresh herbs like thyme, sage and oregano.

Don't miss out on the laksa, a familiar favourite. The broth offers the right balance of spice and coconut milk. The piping hot bowl is topped with ingredients like prawns and fishcake.

From South Asia and the Middle East comes Matki Mutton and Lamb Ouzi, respectively. The former is slow-cooked in a traditional clay pot after the meat is marinated with yoghurt, ginger, garlic, red chilli powder and fibres of saffron. Expect a melange of aromas from the lamb ouzi explicitly hailed from Lebanon that has been stewed for 12 hours atop Arabic rice flavoured with an array of spices, nuts and raisins.

Take your pick from the scrumptious range of familiar Asian delights such as the crispy, tender Pork Belly or char siew, as well as the Chicken and Beef Satay.

Relish the Peranakan classic Babi Pongteh, where pork is braised in fermented soy bean sauce with garlic, coriander powder, brown sugar and dark soy sauce for more than an hour to yield bold, complex flavours. One of my Peranakan favourite is the Ayam Panggang. Likewise, the tender char-grilled chicken is aromatic and well-seasoned.

For something more substantial, go for the Seafood Ee Fu Noodles or Pork Fried Rice.

End the buffet on a sweet note with their extensive dessert options, such as the American Cheesecake, Cherry Blossom Cake, Coffee Roll, Rainbow Roll, Mango Mousse and Vanilla Roulade, as well as assorted Nonya Kueh. There are fluffy Waffles and different Ice Cream flavours available as well.

The Line’s signature Durian Cake, with fluffy layers of vanilla sponge and luscious filling of durian mousse, is a highlight in the dessert selections.
