Christmas Buffet is always a popular choice since Singaporeans love their buffet. With both quantity and variety to offer, it is the best way to satisfy the different requirements and preferences of your guests. At every Christmas, we will see hotels dishing the best offerings. Executive Chefs at big names like Marriott Singapore, Le Meridien Sentosa, Park Hotel Alexandra, Mercure Singapore Bugis, Parkroyal Beach Road have displayed their very best. Christmas 2018 at Amara Singapore, Element, the all-day dinning restaurant with buffet is pushing the bar higher and we are sure, you are in for a super treat.
Christmas 2018 At Amara Singapore
The highlight for the Christmas buffet spread at Amara Singapore this year has certainly to be the ‘Live’ Station. Who doesn’t love these cooking on the spot dishes. At most buffet table, getting 1 and 2 are good. If you find 3, 4 or even 5 is bonus. But Christmas 2018 at Amara Singapore is pushing the bar and diners will receive not even 6 but 7 ‘Live’ Station.
Some of the highlights.
Among the ‘Live’ stations, 2 of the dishes I love are, first the Baby Lobster Miso Yaki. The chef manning the station will add some Rose-flavoured wine and then touch it to ignite a gorgeous flame. This action elevate the flavour and left a complementing floral and alcohol aroma on the lobster.
Another of my favourite item is the Pan-seared Foie Gras with Raspberry Sauce. Each slide of Foie Gras is pan-fried on the spot when the diners order them. While waiting, enjoy the chef in action.
At the Carving Station, the Turkey dish is the star attraction, Slow Roast Turkey With Sze Chuan Spicy Sauce, instead of the usual Cranberry Sauce.
Let’s take a look at the appetisers. There is the plain jane, Tomato Watermelon Carpaccio. It is easily mistaken as a tomato-only dish as both closely resemble each other. I was surprise to find the tomato and watermelon a wonderful pairing.
Celeriac Veloute Truffle Oil is the soup. You will be over the moon to know that there will be free-flow of truffle oil provided at the buffet table.
At all buffet table, a wide spread of dessert is inevitable. One of the spotlight at Christmas 2018 at Amara Singapore is the Japanese Cheese Log Cake. Light cheesy flavour perfumed with subtle matcha.
NAHMJ Verdict
We 7 ‘Live’ Station, we approved the buffet.
