PAUL Singapore Unveils Noël Collection 2025 Featuring An All New Nonya Series

For this upcoming Christmas, PAUL unveils its Noël Collection 2025, a delightful curation of sweets and savouries featuring an all-new Nonya Series. Whether it is an intimate gathering or a grand festive party, each creation is available individually or as part of thoughtfully assembled sets, perfect for celebrations of any size.

Buah Keluak Turkey

Stuffed Buah Keluak, Chilli Cashew Turkey Ham, Butterfly Pea Rice, Strawberry Achar

It was intriguing to see how the Nonya Series played out. The Buah Keluak Turkey (3.5 to 4.5kg, $159) is marinated in an aromatic rempah of turmeric, tamarind and a medley of spices before being roasted to golden perfection. It is served with 6 Buah Keluak Shells stuffed with minced chicken and accompanied by PAUL’s housemade buah keluak sauce. The stuffed buah keluak turned out to be quite a treat, so moreish that six pieces hardly seemed enough. The turkey itself was delightfully tender, and the earthy buah keluak marinade made it much more flavoursome. To complete the experience, accompaniments such as the Butterfly Pea Rice ($15, à la carte) and Strawberry Achar ($20, à la carte) make excellent additions.

Chilli Cashew Turkey Ham

Adding a spicy kick to the lineup is the Chilli Cashew Turkey Ham (1.5kg, $89), glazed with an aromatic blend of chilli, garlic, shallots and ground cashew nuts. It is served with a matching chilli cashew gravy and a jar of PAUL’s signature apricot jam for a touch of sweetness.

Seared Beef Tenderloin & Roasted Potatoes

Lamb Rack

For those who prefer classic festive fare, there is the Seared Beef Tenderloin & Roasted Potatoes ($39) and the Lamb Rack (1kg, $89), served with mint yoghurt and rosemary sauce. The latter was a pleasant surprise, crusted with a crushed-almond-and-lemon mix; the lamb was wonderfully succulent, with just a faint hint of gaminess.

Canapés

Returning this year is PAUL’s signature range of canapés: Maine Lobster & Caviar (box of 8, $42), Wild Mushroom & Truffle (box of 8, $40) and Beef Teriyaki & Wasabi (box of 8, $42). Each was delectable, though I would have preferred a more buttery tart base to elevate the overall taste.

Banana-Rama

Banana-Rama, Merry Berry Lychee, Coco Blush Bauble, Berry Pistachio Snowglobe

On the sweet side, my favourite was the Banana-Rama (from $40), an indulgent creation layered with peanut sponge, caramelised banana and a moreish peanut praline base. Also joining the festive lineup are PAUL’s charming tartlets, including the new Coco Blush Bauble Tartlet (box of 8, $42), a tropical blend of cashew praline and rich cashew coconut cream, and the festive Berry Pistachio Snowglobe Tartlet (box of 8, $42) featuring pistachio custard and raspberry crémeux.

The Noël Collection 2025 will be available for pre-order online or at all PAUL tea-rooms in Singapore from 20 October 2025, with self-collection or delivery available between 10 November 2025 and 31 December 2025.

L'Espresso @ Goodwood Park Hotel - ‘Pink For Good’ English Afternoon Tea Buffet

Commemorating a decade of partnership with the Breast Cancer Foundation (BCF) and in conjunction with its 125th anniversary, Goodwood Park Hotel presents 'Pink For Good', a special edition of its English Afternoon Tea Buffet at L'Espresso. Available from 1 October to 30 November 2025, this initiative underscores the hotel's enduring commitment to the cause in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The BCF plays a vital role in providing support and education for those affected by breast cancer, while championing regular Breast Self-Examinations (BSE) to encourage proactivity about one's health.

Paying homage to the pink ribbon, the universal symbol of breast cancer awareness, the buffet presents an exquisite array of savouries and sweets in delicate shades of pink, contrasted with bold black accents. Elements such as caviar, black truffle, and charcoal-infused breads and pastries lend visual drama and sophistication to the spread.

Greenland Shrimp with Raspberry & Mango Chutney

Turkey Ham with Cranberry Cheese & Black Olive Soil

Starting with dainty bites, open-faced sandwiches are reimagined as tart-like creations in elegant hues of pink, including Crabmeat Salad with Mentaiko Aioli & Black Sesame Seed, Turkey Ham with Cranberry Cheese & Black Olive Soil, and Greenland Shrimp with Raspberry & Mango Chutney.

A selection of Finger Sandwiches offers delectable combinations such as Organic Egg & Black Truffle Mayo, Corned Beef with Caramelised Onion, and Portobello Mushroom & Halloumi Cheese, layered between charcoal and beetroot bread.

Chilled Prawn & Mango Salad with Marie Rose Sauce

Chipotle Tuna Salad with English Cucumber, Caprese Salad with Pesto

Croissant Sandwiches, another staple, are creatively tinted in pink and black for a striking contrast. Variations include Chipotle Tuna Salad with English Cucumber, Caprese Salad with Pesto, and Chilled Prawn & Mango Salad with Marie Rose Sauce.

Salmon Gravlax Platter

The Salmon Gravlax Platter with condiments was one of my favourites, which is a perfect pairing to enjoy alongside the sandwiches and croissants.

Baked Mushroom Strudel drizzled with White Truffle Oil

Black Trumpet Mushroom–Crusted Beef Tenderloin

Hot highlights include comforting and indulgent offerings such as Pork Cottage Pie with Charcoal Mash, Baked Mushroom Strudel drizzled with White Truffle Oil, and Black Trumpet Mushroom–Crusted Beef Tenderloin.

Smoked Salmon Tartare with Crème Fraîche

Black Pink Cupcakes

Buffet specials continue the pink-and-black theme with refined creations, such as Smoked Salmon Tartare with Crème Fraîche topped with Black Caviar elegantly presented in pink cones, alongside Mini Wagyu Beef Charcoal Sliders and Black Pink Cupcakes.

Desserts

Desserts are thoughtfully curated — Black & Pink Macarons, Pink Guava Opera, Raspberry Mille Feuille, Strawberry Éclairs, and more. And of course, no visit would be complete without the Signature Scones Bar, dedicated entirely to scones in an assortment of flavours.

For every paying adult who dines on the 'Pink For Good' English Afternoon Tea Buffet in October and November 2025, the hotel will donate $2 nett to BCF. This contribution will help fund programmes and services for the breast cancer community and support advocacy campaigns that save lives through early detection.

Dine-in reservations can be made via www.goodwoodparkhotel.com/dining/l-espresso or call +65 6730 1743.

The Salmon Tataki Tiradito ($32) is a stunning dish that balances delicate and bold flavours. It features thinly sliced seared salmon, elevated by a vibrant mango salsa and burnt orange, which brings a sweet and citrusy touch to the plate. The dish is adorned with ikura, which offers bursts of briny and salty pops and finished with tahini, a creamy and nutty sauce that ties all the elements together.

Hamachi Tiradito 4/5

The Hamachi Tiradito ($36) combines fresh, thinly sliced Hamachi with a Mandarin Ponzu sauce that offers a zesty and slightly sweet contrast. The addition of truffle adds an earthy and luxurious note, while delicate garlic chips provide texture and a subtle savoury flavour. This dish represents a sophisticated blend of flavours and textures, showcasing Mosella's culinary creativity and commitment to using premium ingredients.

Gambas Al Ajillo 3.8/5

The Gambas Al Ajillo ($40) at Mosella is a classic Spanish dish featuring tender king prawns cooked to perfection in a fragrant garlic oil infused with a touch of chilli, adding pleasant heat to the dish. The use of garlic oil infuses the prawns with a rich and aromatic garlic flavour, enhancing the overall taste profile.

Black Cod 4.2/5

The Black Cod ($62) features a luxurious and buttery fish known for its fork-tender texture. It was expertly prepared to perfection, ensuring it practically melts in your mouth. The dish includes fresh green peas for a touch of sweetness, celeriac for an earthy note, and a zesty salsa verde that adds a vibrant note. The asparagus provides a crisp and fresh element to the plate.

Beef Tenderloin 4.2/5

The Beef Tenderloin ($48) is presented distinctively - served on two metal skewers. The beef is expertly roasted with a blend of aromatic spices, enhancing its flavour and tenderness. Accompanied by chilli oil and Anticucho sauce, a Peruvian-style marinade known for its bold and savoury character, the dish offers a harmonious balance of savoury and spicy flavours. The creamy potato puree adds a comforting element to the ensemble, complementing the beef's richness and spices. This dish is rich, flavourful, and a must-try for those seeking a satisfying and indulgent dining experience.

Japanese Sweet Corn 3.8/5

The Japanese Sweet Corn ($12) is a unique fusion of Japanese and Peruvian flavours. It features tender Japanese sweet corn generously drizzled with tangy lime miso butter for creaminess. The Aji Panca adds smokiness and mild heat, while togarashi provides a gentle kick of spiciness and a hint of umami. The dish offers a harmonious balance of sweet, tangy, smoky, and spicy flavours, showcasing the restaurant's culinary creativity and expertise.

Cacao 4/5

The Cacao ($22) is an interactive and delightful sweet treat. It features a Manjari chocolate tart with a rich cocoa filling encased in delicate pastry. The unique presentation lets you crack open the top part of the tart with a spoon, revealing a creamy hazelnut and caramel filling. This dessert offers a symphony of flavours, from deep chocolate to nuttiness and buttery sweetness, providing a memorable and indulgent way to end your meal at the restaurant.

Tarta de Queso 4.5/5

The Tarta de Ques ($24) features a creamy Burnt Basque Cheesecake, accompanied by apple for a fruity and slightly tart note, finished with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for sweetness.
