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.

Sheraton Towers Singapore - Festive Celebrations At The Dining Room
For this festive season, Sheraton Towers Singapore presents an extravagant buffet spread and a selection of festive takeaways featuring beloved holiday classics at The Dining Room.
Staying true to tradition, the symbolic Oven-roasted Christmas Turkey is a classic done right - golden-brown skin with succulent, tender meat.
BBQ Glazed Wagyu Rump
Citrus Tamarind-Glazed Semi Bone-in Gammon Ham
You can also enjoy the BBQ Glazed Wagyu Rump, rich and flavourful, and the Citrus Tamarind-Glazed Semi Bone-in Gammon Ham, served with a bright pineapple sauce that lifts the overall profile.
Spicy Turmeric Coconut Turkey
For festive takeaways, The Dining Room introduces a bolder reinterpretation of the classic turkey: the Spicy Turmeric Coconut Turkey ($208). Inspired by traditional Singapore Malay flavours, it is served with tomato basmati rice, green bean kerabu, and mung bean crackers. Infused with turmeric, bird’s eye chilli, and rich coconut milk, it offers warm, familiar notes that will add depth and colour to your festive table.
Seafood on Ice
Sushi and Sashimi
The buffet also showcases a lavish Seafood on Ice selection, along with Sushi and Sashimi.
Cheese and Charcuterie Counter
The Cheese and Charcuterie Counter is fully stocked with an impressive variety of cheeses, condiments, and artisanal charcuterie. The Salad Bar is equally delightful, offering beautifully plated salads alongside a vibrant selection of fresh greens.
Parmesan Herb-crusted Maine Lobster
An array of premium hot dishes, such as Parmesan Herb-crusted Maine Lobster, is complemented by a variety of Chinese and Asian specialities.
To elevate the festive atmosphere, an outdoor BBQ station adds smoky, crowd-pleasing flavours to the experience.
Baked Brie En Croûte
One of my favourites was definitely the Baked Brie En Croûte. Prepared à la minute, the warm, oozy brie has a lightly caramelised, flaky exterior and is served atop crusty toast. Paired generously with honey and nuts, it was wonderfully decadent.
Spiced Pumpkin Meringue Tart
White Forest
Desserts were incredible. Classics such as Panettone, Almond Stollen, and Christmas Fruit Cake were beautifully executed, alongside more creative additions like the Spiced Pumpkin Meringue Tart and White Forest, a new creation featuring vanilla sponge and griottines cherries. Of course, no festive spread would be complete without a classic logcake, and their Crunchy Chocolate Praline Logcake proved to be a definite crowd-pleaser.

We enjoyed the selection of cold dishes under the Christmas Salad spread, especially the Roasted Squash & Pomegranate Quinoa Salad and the Maple Baked Ham Salad. Other options include the Heirloom Tomato Caprese Salad, Duck Leg Confit with Smoked Lemon Hummus and more.
Beside it sits the Sashimi and Sushi station, where sashimi lovers can look forward to Norwegian Salmon Trout, Yellow Fin Tuna and Hokkaido Tako.
The popular Seafood on Ice section showcases Red Prawns, Cherry Clams, Sea Whelks, Black Mussels and Half Shell Scallops. These were of decent quality. Depending on the buffet session, diners can also look forward to Snow Crabs and Boston Lobsters.
The highlight of the spread is undoubtedly the Festive Carvings. Diners can choose from a range of hearty meats, including Spanish Style Honey and Brandy Glazed Royal Ham, French Style Butter & Black Truffle Infused Roasted Whole Turkey, Moroccan Style Slow Roasted Australian Grain Fed Black Angus Striploin and Greece Style Papillote Sustainable Barramundi.
We also appreciated the thoughtful pairings, with each carving accompanied by its own condiments and sides, such as Cinnamon Apple Chutney and Rum & Raisin Sauce for the Royal Ham, or Baby Potatoes and Yorkshire Pudding to go with the Striploin.
There was also a Seafood Orzo Pasta prepared in a Cheese Wheel, which was a crowd favourite during our visit.
The Grill & Stove station featured items such as Homemade Chicken Satay, Slow-Cooked Wagyu Beef Cheek, Turkish-Style Chicken, Tiger Prawns A La Plancha, Lebanese-Style Lamb Chop, and a Festive Sourdough Pizza of the Day. There were a few misses for us here, but the Tiger Prawns were grilled just right.
Local Favourites continue to be a key element for the restaurant, with the Local & Chinese and Indian stations serving dishes such as Stir Fry Mala Pork, Steamed Fish with Crispy Taucheo, Stir Fry Chow Mein, Naan Bread, Paneer Butter Masala and Andhra Pepper Chicken. Do note that the items at these stations rotate regularly.
For diners craving quintessential comfort bowls, the chefs at the Live Station can prepare Prawn Noodles and Laksa on the spot. Alternatively, the Roast Station offers Chicken Rice with a selection of roasted meats and all the classic accompaniments.
Bread and Cheese lovers can check out the variety available.
The Dessert section features a mix of festive treats and the cafe’s signature dishes. The logcakes were delightful, with options such as the light Tahitian Vanilla & Caramel Pear and the richer Cherry & Chestnut Hukambi 53%.
Other Christmas-themed Sweets include Traditional Minced Fruit Pie, Oaty Granola Tart and Spiced Christmas Cookies. Chocolate lovers should try the Festive Cranberry Chocolate Pudding, which was indulgent but not overly sweet.
For familiar favourites, the Signature Durian Pengat, Signature Mango Cake and a Chocolate Fountain with condiments remain popular choices.
