5. PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering

Lime Restaurant at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering has long been one of the mainstays of our annual Christmas Dinner roundup. Their 2022 Christmas Holly Jolly Christmas Festive Feasts crafted by Head Chef & Food and Beverage Director Ralf Dohmeier of Germany easily makes the cut.

Dazzling the eyes and whetting your appetite, the sumptuous feast is a smorgasbord of eclectic flavours drawn from local favourites and international classics.

Not many Singaporeans will complain that the indulgence begins at the seafood bar. Fresh seafood dishes feature the best of Oyster, Snow Crab, Scallop and Prawn.

Ease into the festive mood with Chef Ralf’s traditional German Pickled Herring Salad before you give in to the aromatic appeal of Homemade Salmon Gravlax, Roast Herb Crusted Sirloin, Traditional Roast Turkey & Stuffing, Triple Glazed Ham and Festive Pork and Pistachio Terrine.

We come back home to Asia with chefs’ specials that include Crab Meat Soup with Braised Fish Lips and BBQ Duck. Save space for the PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering’s signature dish, Pickering Lobster Laksa but, be warned, you will be back for a second helping!

More local seafood delights come in the form of Lobster Linguini and Spicy Prawn Wonton. No need to queue for them— they are prepared by featured chefs as pass-around tasting dishes by the minute and served steaming hot to your plate.

My second stomach reserved for desserts will come in handy when I decide to go for the festive-themed Gingerbread Latte Pudding and Reindeer Mont Blanc Tart. However, my anticipation peaked when I read the name ‘Flaming Christmas Pudding with Cinnamon Ice Cream and Stuffed Baked Apple’— I am going dizzy picturing the amazing sight, let alone the exquisite taste!

While Lime Restaurant at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering makes our list of the best Christmas Dinners for 2022, their festive-themed spread is also available for lunch and brunch.

6. Andaz Singapore

Taking a cue from the year 2022, Andaz Singapore seizes 2 spots for the best Christmas dinners on our list. We have put the winners from Alley on 25 and 665°F into a single entry for double the celebration.

At Alley on 25, four types of salads greet you at the feast. Treat your eyes to the bountiful spread on the charcuterie and cheese station, topped only by the magnificent variety of freshly shucked oysters, sashimi and shellfish.

With your tastebuds warmed up, tuck into some classic festive delights, including Roasted Whole Turkey, Turkey Breast Roulade with Chestnut Stuffing and Honey Citrus Baked Ham. There is also Beef Cheeks braised in red wine sauce, Roasted Prime Rib and Oven-baked Salmon to look forward to.

Timeless Christmas desserts, Yule Log Cake and Panettone Pudding (with vanilla anglaise) put a sweet touch to the end of the meal, with innovative additions, Santa Hat Brownies and Gingerbread Berry Tiramisu among the medley helping things along.

In the mood to elevate the experience? The Bottomless Beverage Package (+S$108) (Up to 2 hours per pax) will do the trick. It includes free flow of Andaz Pilsner, wines and Delamotte champagne.

Book before 15 Dec 2022 to enjoy a 10% Early Bird discount off the total food bill!

Date & Time: 24 Dec 2022, 6pm – 10pm

665°F ups the friendly competition with its delectable Christmas 5-Course Dinner Menu.

7. Atrium Restaurant at Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium

Atrium Restaurant at Holiday Inn Singapore Atrium makes the cut for Christmas dinners with its Rustic Christmas Buffet. The yuletide feast runs from 21 Nov 2022.

Perennial favourites such as Lobster Bisque, Chicken Shawarma and Beef Shepherd’s Pie are on the menu for selected dates to deliver an authentic Christmas experience. They are accompanied by Oysters, Salmon Sashimi and Baby Rock Lobster. Alongside, live stations featuring local delights put the quintessential Asian spin on the celebrations.

We think they pale in comparison to the Roasted Kam Heong Turkey. Marinated in an exotic concoction of oyster sauce, lemongrass, ginger, curry powder, dried shrimp and secret ingredients, it certainly lives up to its name, which means ‘Golden Fragrance’.

Dessert time welcomes traditional Christmas Pudding, Christmas Cookies and Log Cakes as well as the less common Churros. Together, the explosion of sweet and savoury flavours is like a Holiday Inn your mouth!

There is also a Christmas 2022 Takeaway Menu if you want to celebrate in private.

Taking pride of place at the head of this menu is the Roasted Kam Heong Turkey (S$148), which comes with egg fried rice, pickled vegetables and kam heong sauce. The 4.5kg turkey feeds between 7 and 8 people.

The bestselling Roasted Chicken stuffed with peach (S$80) is an excellent alternative. Weighing 1.9kg, it is perfect for a group of 5 to 6 people.

A good meal must end with great dessert and there are few better choices than the Dulcey Yuzu Log Cake (S$88) and Classic Choco Log Cake (S$88).

The Dulcey Yuzu Log Cake is a crowd favourite that is back after 2 years; its dulcey cremeux, tangy yuzu mousse, orange marmalade and almond sponge are a heavenly combo of disparate but complementary flavours. 

Meanwhile, the Classic Choco Log Cake makes a highly-anticipated debut on the takeaway menu and will likely sell out soon.

Choose from the extensive Festive Takeaways menu here from 1 Nov to 26 Dec 2022. Orders will be available for collection from 1 Dec 2022 to 2 Jan 2023.

A 20% early bird discount applies for orders placed before 9 Dec 2022 (with promo code XMAS20 at checkout). Enjoy free delivery for order value at S$360 or more.

8. Dusk Restaurant & Bar (Mount Faber Leisure Group)

100 metres above sea level, Dusk Restaurant & Bar combines one of the most unique settings in Singapore with a specially curated Nordic-Asian menu that will keep your palate guessing. With a panorama of the sea, our Harbourfront and Sentosa Island as the background, acclaimed Danish Chef Henrik Jyrk will tease your senses with a festive menu of his renowned Nordic-Asian signatures created especially for this celebration.

His ingenuity and international culinary experience have culminated in a 4-course set menu (S$108++ per person) that will be available exclusively at Dusk Restaurant & Bar from 12 Dec 2022 to 31 Mar 2023. Wine pairing (from S$98++) options are also available.

Your introduction to Chef Jyrk’s culinary genius comes in the form of Makrel. This first dish consists of tender fish soaked in savoury clam dashi, accompanied by the heat of wasabi and citrusy sweetness of gooseberries. 

It is followed by Andesteg, surely one of the highlights of Christmas 2022. Andesteg is roasted duck breast served with Danish cherries and caramelised onion puree, topped with Indonesian spice sauce. 

Equally bewitching is the Rødgrød Med Fløde, a traditional Danish berry compote dessert served with crisp, chewy meringue and smooth, creamy vanilla ice cream, that comes next.

Æbleskive marks the close of this intriguing meal, and the pan-fried Danish takoyaki-like dish filled with a tangy-sweet vanilla & apple compote does not disappoint.

Dusk Restaurant & Bar is known for its Modern European à la carte menu, and diners can order from it even as they enjoy Chef Jyrk’s highlights.

You can enjoy an encore of the Dusk Restaurant & Bar experience when you ring in the new year— they have a special 5-course New Year’s Eve menu (S$158++ per person). Available only on 31 Dec 2022, it includes a selection of amuse bouche and a party kit, all of which you will enjoy all the more with the live band that will be performing.

Don’t forget to sample Dusk Restaurant & Bar’s curated wine list and cocktails; their signature nitro-frosted cocktails are not to be missed, both taste-wise and visually.

Get the kids excited over the fun Cheeky Santa Pina Colada Log Cake (S$98) which comes with a mini hammer— just knock for a sweet surprise!

Hardly half a year old, Dao by Dorsett AMTD Singapore makes its debut on our list with its very first Christmas dinner. As a brand that focuses on creating bespoke experiences for guests, their highly-curated menu is a testament to their commitment to excellence.

Dine-in at the glittering new restaurant, Collective, for a surprisingly economical 3-Course Festive Meal (S$38++). A starter of Berries & Vegetables in Lemon Mustard Dressing eases into the main course of Duck Leg Confit with Signature Pepper Sauce. Elegant and intricate, the Mushroom Coffee Tart dessert attains the perfect level of sweetness.

A cocktail or two for the road? Dao’s Mangoes On The Grill (S$20++) has a character both peppery and zesty. It’s a mix of Black Tears Cuban Spiced Rum, Pink Grapefruit Juice, Mango Juice and Pomegranate Seeds.

We were highly impressed by the Festive Roast Takeaway (S$180+) meant for a party of 4. The succulent Sous Vide Roasted Wagyu Beef Rump and Stuffed Turkey Roulade is an enticing sight to behold. Lovely brown skin sits aside bursts of colour from Oven Roasted Yellow Zucchini, Carrot, Brussels Sprouts, Cranberry Sauce, as well as the Signature Pepper Sauce.

Thirty Six will be serving a 4-course Festive Menu on 24 & 25 Dec 2022. It is priced at S$136++ per person and S$36++ per child, and includes free-flow drinks and ice cream.

Look forward to a stunning festive feast which starts out with an amuse bouche and several starters, and eventually moves onto the main course, all of which are cooked in the restaurant’s built-in smoke oven. Choices include Traditional New Zealand Ribeye, Slow Roasted Turkey Breast or Gammon Ham. For a more contemporary twist on this festive occasion, the Crispy Rolled Pork Belly, Slow Roast Leg of Lamb, Norwegian Salmon or vegetarian Nut Roast is also available.
