Stuffed & Deboned Roast Turkey
The highlight at Da Paolo has to be the Stuffed & Deboned Roast Turkey ($358, approx 4kg) with three layers of stuffing. In the centre of the giant bird is Cotechino, a traditional Italian-style sausage served during Christmas. A layer of chestnuts, leeks and mushrooms encased the pork meat sausage, followed by a final layer of aromatic chorizo spiced mince. The Christmas bird is served alongside roasted potatoes, carrots, onions and a tangy housemade fresh passion fruit sauce. It is suitable for 10 to 12 pax.
Brussels Sprouts, Turnips & Cranberry Salad
The feast is never complete without the sides. Some of the stunning sides that I enjoyed is the appetising Brussels Sprouts, Turnips & Cranberry Salad ($65), where finely shaved brussels sprouts and crispy turnips are tossed with dried cranberries, olive oil, lemon juice and black pepper. It can serve 4 to 6 pax.
Truffle Mac & Cheese
Another lovely side is the Truffle Mac & Cheese ($99), baked with Italian cheese and homemade bechamel, drizzled with Italian truffle oil. These hearty baked pasta can serve 4 to 6 pax.
