Kwee Zeen @ Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa - Christmas Mega Safe Brunch

Paying homage to the Christmas traditions of old, Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa presents a full-fledged Christmas Town in this season of merry-making. Over at Kwee Zeen, guests can look forward to spectacular holiday buffet spreads. Besides the traditional holiday classic, guests can also look forward to an eclectic lineup of fresh seafood, international cuisines and a full dessert counter with quintessential panettone, chocolate fondue, log cake, stollen and much more.

The highlight of the Christmas Mega Safe Brunch at Kween Zeen has to be the Seafood of Ice and oyster counter. The Oyster counter has four different varieties, while the seafood of ice has a massive selection of crustaceans and shellfish. You can eat to your fill.

In every festive celebration, the festive roasts such as Turkey, Beef Ribs, Tomahawk, Sausages and Ham are not to be missed. Best to have them together with sides like roasted potatoes and vegetables.

The huge paella pan brimming with seafood and the various ham on the buffet spread caught my eyes. It brings back memories of my Spanish trips.

Diners can also look forward to other Asian and Local cuisines, such as the popular Japanese section for sashimi and sushi. My personal favourite is the noodle station where I can have the local laksa. I even asked the staff to add a few pieces of roasted duck from the Chinese's section. There is even an Indian section where you can indulgent in an array of aromatic dishes, curry and naan.

What is Christmas without the sweet treats? So do save your stomach to a full dessert counter with quintessential panettone, chocolate fondue, log cakes, stollen and much more.

Ristorante Takada @ Alexis Condominium - An Italian-Japanese Restaurant By Chef Masahiro Takada

Ristorante Takada is an Italian-Japanese restaurant located at Alexis Condominium. It is helmed by Chef Masahiro Takada, who has honed his skills in Michelin-starred restaurants in Italy and Japan. We have the 5-course Omakase Dinner priced at $158.

Before starting the omakase dinner, we are served complimentary bread paired with olive oil and balsamic.

Mushroom Soup 4/5

We started with dinner with Mushroom Soup served in a coffee cup. With the layer of foam, it felt like we were having a cup of mushroom cappuccino.

3 Kind Of Mix Appetizer 3.5/5

Our first course is a Trio of Appetizer. We have Scallop & Prawn, Burrata with Tomato & Parma Ham, and Smoked Duck on the plate. I felt the appetizer lacked the finesse I was expecting, but they were good tasting.

Lobster with Hokkaido Scallop and Hamaguri Clam 4.2/5

The next course is the lavish Lobster with Hokkaido Scallop and Hamaguri Clam drenched in a bright orange sauce. I am not sure what the sauce is, but it is sweet, creamy, and tangy that complements the fresh seafood.

Tagliolini Hokkaido Sea Urchin with Squid Ink Sauce 4.2/5

For the pasta dish, we have the Tagliolini Hokkaido Sea Urchin with Squid Ink Sauce. There are two ways of enjoying the pasta. The first is to appreciate the creaminess and sweetness of the uni. Second, you can have it with the squid ink sauce to enjoy another taste profile from the sea.

Miyazaki A5 Wagyu Tenderloin Steak with Red Wine Sauce 4.8/5

For mains, it was the Miyazaki A5 Wagyu Tenderloin Steak with Red Wine Sauce cooked beautifully to medium-rare. Known as the best wagyu beef in Japan for its signature marbling, the meat stood out for its buttery texture and dense beefy flavour.

Dessert 4/5

Wrapping up the five-course dinner is a trio of desserts. On the plate, we have a slice of Burnt Cheesecake, Tiramisu and Raspberry Sorbet. The tiramisu is a bit heavy for me with the soaked alcohol in the finger. I have a light palate; hence my preference is the burnt cheesecake and raspberry sorbet.

Petite Four

Last but not least, we have Madeleine for Petite Four. The soft sponge cake with crispy edge completes an enjoyment omakase meal at Ristorante Takada.
