Doesn’t it get you into the festive mood instantly?

Roasted Tom Turkey ($138, 5kg)

Now that you’re in a Christmas-y trance, I shall attempt to make you hungry with some food porn –essentially the Christmas offerings from Marina Mandarin Singapore.

Heritage Peranakan Roasted Turkey ($148, 5kg)

Whole turkey marinated with nonya spices; mushroom stuffing and sautéed vegetables; homemade tamarind Jus.

Baked Salmon & Prawn Duxelle Pie wrapped in Puff Pastry served with Truffle Cream Sauce ($88, serves 6)

A must-try from their savoury menu is the Baked Salmon & Prawn Duxelle wrapped in Puff Pastry. Light, buttery and crusty pastry encases moist and tender salmon –the surprising element is the rather Asian-tasting prawn duxelle. The truffle cream sauce that came alongside made this dish even more irresistible.

Durian Yule Log ($55, 1kg)

Durian lovers would lust after the Durian Yule Log. Vanilla sponge is interlaid with rich durian mousse and durian pulp –resulting in a delightfully light and creamy mouthfeel.

One of the Christmas highlights is the 7 metres tall Gingerbread House, roosted at the hotel’s main lobby.

Celebration of Joy ($158)

It’s not difficult to put a smile on someone’s face when there’re the festive hampers!

The Celebration of Joy comprises assorted Christmas cookies, santa boot with pralines, santa with gift, gingerbread figurine, brandy & rum fruit cake, mince fruit pie, stolen with almond filling and house red wine.
