Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel Unwraps a Grand Festive Feast This Christmas 2025

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year, and Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel is pulling out all the stops to celebrate the festive season in style. Located at the heart of Orchard Road, the hotel presents a thoughtfully curated Christmas line-up that caters to every kind of celebration — whether you’re gathering around a lavish buffet, indulging in a refined afternoon tea, or hosting a memorable feast at home with premium takeaway delights.

This year’s festive offerings are particularly exciting, with the debut of 10 new takeaway creations that reimagine traditional Christmas favourites through refined techniques and luxurious ingredients. From indulgent roasts to eye-catching yule log cakes, the collection is designed to bring warmth, indulgence and a touch of elegance to every festive table.

Cointreau Marmalade-Glazed Whole Roast Turkey

A Christmas classic elevated to new heights, the Cointreau Marmalade-Glazed Whole Roast Turkey ($265, 4.5–5kg, serves 6–8) is sourced from the USA and meticulously prepared. Brined for 24 hours and dry-aged for enhanced flavour, the turkey is finished with herb butter beneath the skin to ensure juicy tenderness. The Cointreau marmalade glaze adds a delightful citrus brightness to the golden, caramelised skin. Served with Chestnut and Duck Foie Gras Stuffing and Cranberry & Port Wine Sauce, this is a true centrepiece worthy of any festive gathering.

Honey & Clove Glazed Ham (Boneless) with Cinnamon Pineapple Sauce

Slow-roasted and generously glazed, the Honey & Clove Glazed Ham ($210, 2-3Kg) delivers comforting festive flavours with its rich caramelisation and aromatic spices. The accompanying cinnamon pineapple sauce adds a fragrant, fruity lift that beautifully balances the smoky sweetness.

Roast Pork Saddle with Truffle & Amarena Cherry Stuffing with Bourbon Cherry Sauce

This indulgent roast - Roast Pork Saddle with Truffle & Amarena Cherry Stuffing with Bourbon Cherry Sauce ($240 nett, 2 kg, serves 6 to 8 persons) showcases crisp, ASMR-worthy crackling paired with tender, juicy meat. Butterflied and stuffed with Italian black truffle paste and Amarena cherries, the pork saddle is finished with a tangy-sweet bourbon cherry sauce that cuts through the richness effortlessly.

Slow-Roasted Black Angus Beef Striploin with Port Wine Sauce & Horseradish Cream

Marinated for up to four days with fragrant herbs, the Black Angus Beef Striploin ($310 nett, 2 kg, serves 6 to 8 persons) is slow-roasted until meltingly tender. Served with a velvety Port Wine Sauce and a sharp Horseradish Cream, each bite is rich, balanced and deeply satisfying.

Smoky BBQ Mount Gay Barbados Rum & Bacon-Glazed Iberico Pork Ribs

The Smoky BBQ Mount Gay Barbados Rum & Bacon-Glazed Iberico Pork Ribs ($195 nett, 1.5 kg to 1.8 kg, serves 6 to 8 persons) is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. These Iberico pork ribs are sous vide for 18 hours for fall-off-the-bone tenderness, then glazed with Mount Gay Barbados Rum, smoky bacon, and spices before oven-baking. The sweet-savoury finish is addictive, and the inclusion of a petite bottle of rum adds a playful festive touch.

Whole Lobster al Forno with Scallop, Crab Roe & Morel Stuffing with Crab Lemon Cavatelli Pasta

The Whole Lobster al Forno with Scallop, Crab Roe & Morel Stuffing with Crab Lemon Cavatelli Pasta ($275) is an impressive dish featuring an Australian whole lobster, generously stuffed with Hokkaido scallops, earthy morels and rich crab roe, served with Crab Lemon Cavatelli Pasta. Oven-roasted to enhance its natural sweetness, it is paired with Crab Lemon Cavatelli Pasta — al dente, citrusy and refreshing — making it a refined yet comforting sharing dish.

Signature Chocolate Fudge Log Cake

The Signature Chocolate Fudge Log Cake (1 kg, $90 nett / 500 g, $60 nett) is a perennial favourite for good reason. This chocolate indulgence uses premium Felchlin Sao Palme chocolate for deep, lingering richness that chocoholics will adore.

Apple Kiwi Yuletide Express

The Apple Kiwi Yuletide Express (1 kg, $95 nett) is bright, playful and refreshing. This vibrant cake layers lemon yoghurt mousse, kiwi coulis, apple compote and vanilla sponge atop a feuilletine crumble base — a fruity showstopper perfect for lighter palates.

Avocado Noël Cream Cake

The Avocado Noël Cream Cake (1 kg, $95 nett) is a whimsical festive creation featuring lemon cream cheese mousse, avocado crémeux and gula melaka sponge, complemented by yuzu coconut marshmallows. Light yet indulgent, it’s a delightful surprise that’s especially popular with the ladies.

Hazelnut Coffee Yule Log

Elegant and bold, the Hazelnut Coffee Yule Log (1 kg, $95 nett) combines white chocolate coffee mousse, coffee crémeux, hazelnut dacquoise and crunchy praline feuilletine for layers of luxurious texture and flavour.

Homemade Sourdough Chocolate and Classic Panettone

No Christmas table is complete without panettone, and the Homemade Sourdough Chocolate Panettone ($90) and Homemade Classic Panettone ($90) stay true to tradition while delivering comforting festive nostalgia.

For those celebrating out, Crossroads Buffet offers an opulent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day spread. Expect free-flow sashimi, fresh crustaceans, artisanal live stations (lunch only), premium roasts and Asian favourites. Highlights include Slow-Roasted Salmon Fillet with Caviar Sauce, Roast Turkey, Honey-Glazed Bone-In Ham, and Wok-Fried Crab with Salted Egg Sauce — a feast that truly embodies the joy of the season.

Oscar's @ Conrad Centennial Singapore - The Sea, Smoke & Spice New Themed Buffet Experience

Known for its generous spreads and lively live stations, Oscar's at Conrad Singapore Marina Bay presents two new themed dinner experiences: The Sea, Smoke & Spice and Flavours of Yesteryear. Celebrating both the bold and the familiar, each theme invites diners to savour distinct culinary stories, from flame-kissed signatures to comforting heirloom recipes.

We tried The Sea, Smoke & Spice theme buffet, and here's our review.

The evening begins with a refreshing taste of the sea. The Seafood Bar featuring freshly shucked Oysters, Slipper Lobsters, Mussels and Flower Crabs is not to be missed. We especially enjoyed the oysters that were sweet, plump, and incredibly fresh.

A surprise highlight was the freshly sliced Jamón. We recommend pairing it with the sweet melon from the fruit section for a classic, satisfying combination.

Another standout for us was the Mushroom Risotto. Served with whipped Chantilly and sautéed mushrooms, it's finished in a dramatic Parmesan wheel. The al dente rice was creamy and well-seasoned, with rich, earthy mushroom notes that packed a punch.

Slow-Roasted Lamb Shoulder

Chermoula Fish Pot

For those who love deep, bold flavours, the Slow-Roasted Lamb Shoulder, infused with aromatic spices, was tender and juicy, with a savoury richness. The Chermoula Fish Pot featured flaky fish marinated in North African herbs and spices. Both dishes were flavourful, though potentially a little heavy for those with lighter palates.

Oven Roasted Marinated Angus Beef Striploin

Pulled Beef Sliders and Marinated Spanish Octopus

The Oven-Roasted Marinated Angus Beef Striploin was a crowd-pleaser, especially when paired with the variety of sauces offered. We found the Pulled Beef Sliders to be a little dry, although the flavour came through well. The Marinated Spanish Octopus, served on a soft jacket potato with sour cream and olive oil, leaned salty. While the potato was beautifully cooked, crispy on the outside and soft within, we found it slightly overpowered the octopus.

The heart of the Sea, Smoke & Spice experience lies at the Live Charcoal BBQ. Smoky and sizzling from the grill:

• Sticky Australian Lamb Ribs
• Spice-rubbed Hanger Steak
• Kurobuta Pork Tomahawk
• Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

Locally farmed Barramundi and Tara-marinated prawns grilled just right added a coastal flourish to the mix.

Right next to the BBQ, don’t miss the Sizzling Tandoori Delights. We loved the Tandoori Chicken and Seabass, and the Chukandari Paneer Tikka stood out for its bold seasoning. Pair everything with fresh naan bread for a complete experience.

A must-have at Oscar’s: the Signature Seafood Laksa at the Live Noodles Station. Rich, creamy and comforting, served with tofu puff, prawns, fish cake and a quail egg.

Fresh Strawberries

Macarons

To end on a sweet note, the buffet's dessert selection is a dream come true for strawberry lovers. Fresh strawberries shine across shortcakes, praline tarts, mousse domes, and the signature Strawberry Romanoff. The fruit's tartness and aroma cut through the savoury dishes with perfect balance.

Almond Strawberry Tart

Strawberry Cheesecake

Strawberry-Inspired Chocolate Bar

Other strawberry-inspired delights include:

• Almond Strawberry Tart
• Strawberry Cheesecake
• Strawberry-infused Chocolate Bar
• Strawberry Panna Cotta
• Macarons

Strawberry Pannacotta

The Sea, Smoke & Spice dinner buffet is available from Wednesdays to Saturdays, 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and is priced at S$96++ per adult and S$48++ per child (aged 6 to 12). Reservations are highly recommended at https://www.sevenrooms.com/experiences/oscars

AMI Patisserie x Roku Gin - Presents a Cocktail and Dessert Omakasae Experience from 4 to 6 April 2025

This spring, Roku Gin and AMI Patisserie collaborate to present a cocktail and dessert omakase session from April 4–6. The Sakura Bloom 2025 Edition returns by popular demand, a bottle embodying the Japanese concept of shun — the fleeting moment when nature is at its peak in vibrancy and vitality. In the same vein, "AMI" also translates to "blossoming in Asia" in Japanese. This 8-course omakase showcases Chef Makoto's signature creations alongside specially curated Roku Sakura Bloom-infused desserts. The experience is elevated with a signature Roku serving — the Roku Sakura Bloom Gin and Tonic with Pink Gari — as well as two limited-edition cocktails crafted by local food stylist and entrepreneur C.R. Tan.

Miso Madeleine 4/5

The omakase began with a savoury and buttery Miso Madeleine, topped with Yaki Nasu and Parmigiano.

Signature Choux 5/5

Next was Chef Makoto's highly raved-about Signature Choux. The delicate choux pastry encased a classic, creamy organic egg filling, which contrasted beautifully with its slightly crisp shell. The crème fraîche on top enhanced the creamy mouthfeel, while caviar and shiso flowers added a well-balanced savoury depth.

Hokkaido Crab Tartelette 4.5/5

Following that was the Hokkaido Crab Tartelette, featuring a tart base topped with a harmonious blend of Hokkaido crab, scallop, green apple, amera tomato, and young ginger. The tart was baked to achieve a deep browning, adding depth to the flavours. A layer of yoghurt cream tied the elements together, complementing the textures beautifully.

Smoked Omi Roasted Beef Tarte 4.5/5

We enjoyed the Smoked Omi Roasted Beef Tarte, which featured house-made brioche, Omi beef from Chef Makoto's hometown, and uni for a heartier bite. The well-seasoned brioche served as the perfect vessel for the luscious, smoky Omi beef and creamy uni, with a touch of wasabi cream to bring the elements together.

Japanese Asparagus Tarte 5/5

The Japanese Asparagus Tarte truly celebrated the beauty of spring. Layering on top of a buttery sweet tart base were crunchy Japanese asparagus, tender slices of shiitake, and Parma ham. Seemingly simple ingredients, every bite was packed full of flavours with a satisfying mouthfeel.

Japanese Spring Citrus 4.5/5

Moving on to the highly anticipated desserts: First was the Japanese Spring Citrus, a refreshing combination of gin jelly infused with Roku Sakura Bloom Edition, mandarin orange, and kumquat granita.

Marble Dark Chocolate 4/5

Next came the Marble Dark Chocolate, which delivered bold, intense flavours with crispy tiles, 72% dark chocolate ganache, coffee cream, and Cognac Amaretto ice cream.

Strawberry Sakura 5/5

The final creation — and my personal favourite — was Strawberry Sakura. This classic pairing of strawberries and cream was elevated with delicious rice pudding infused with Roku Sakura Bloom Edition, fresh strawberries, strawberry granita, and velvety coconut ice cream.

Oyatsu 4.5/5

Ending the meal was Oyatsu, the Japanese version of Petit Four — Warabimochi. Made from a family recipe, the warabimochi had an impressive stretchy and chewy texture. It was delicious with a thin coating of kinako powder and a drizzle of kuromitsu.

In addition to the collaboration, from 1 – 30 April, a Limited Edition Sakura Bloom Petite Gateaux Set of 4 will be available at AMI for $68++. This set incorporates four harmonious sweet treats: strawberry tarte, Matcha Kinako Choux, Sakura Choux, and spring citrus tarte. For every purchase, a complimentary serving of Sakura Bloom Gin & Tonic with Pink Gari will be up for redemption while stocks last.

The sit-down omakase experience will be a 2-hour session at $128++.
