Christmas marketplace
Running from now till 2 Jan 2025, the Christmas marketplace named ‘A Big Carnival Of Joy‘ features a variety of retail and carnival booths spread across 2 levels.
If you’re feeling peckish and need something to fuel you, visit any of their F&B booths. For starters, Ho! Ho! Hot from Japan! serves up Tori Karaage (S$14) with a twist, infused with a burst of refreshing yuzu.
At Jolly German Delights, feast on lip-smacking hot dogs topped with creamy caramelised onions. Choose from a plethora of Gourmet Sausages (S$11) including Smoked Jalapeno Cheese Sausage and Smoked Hokkaido Arabiki Sausage.
Little ones will swoon over the adorable desserts at French Sweet Joy. Shaped like a Christmas tree, Crêpes de Noël (S$10) is paired with almonds, custard, pure Origine chocolate, blueberries and raspberries.
If they prefer Santa Claus, Crêpes “SANTA” (S$10) comes with lush chantilly cream, custard, coulis and strawberries.
After all that feasting, you can indulge in some stress-relief shopping with the array of retail booths. Girls who love jazzing up their hands with press-on nails should check out Clan 72. From basic designs going for S$10 to dramatic ones costing S$48, the sea is your oyster.
Snag a quirky knitted Christmas pouch or simply refresh your wardrobe with a new top or bag at Loma.Whale, hailing from the bustling Chatuchak Market in Bangkok.

Sharing platters at Osia Steak & Seafood Grill (Ave 8)
Awaken your senses with the alluring smoky aromas of grilled sea treasures and meats at Osia Steak & Seafood Grill. Diners get to dine in a sophisticated space complete with immaculate service. The produce here is sourced from various sustainable Australian boutique farms.
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the festivities than by gathering with family and friends to share good food and great company. And boy, does this restaurant serve up the perfect platters to match!
To revel in the best opulent treasures of the ocean, look no further than the Grilled Seafood Platter (S$298). This luxurious spread boasts oysters rockefeller, king prawns, Fremantle octopus, sustainable black grouper fillet, king scallops and storm clams.
The briny oysters paired really well with the luscious cream cheese and spinach, and the crunchy herbed bread crumbs were the icing on the cake.
Octopus and scallops are extremely delicate seafood that tend to overcook easily. But both elements were perfectly executed with finesse, achieving a soft and succulent texture that accentuated their natural sweetness.
Fans of spicy food can slather the spicy tomato coulis over their desired seafood for an exhilarating kick of heat that elevates each bite.
If seafood isn’t your jam, then focus on the Festive Meat Platter (S$298) instead. It comprises 2GR wagyu beef striploin, Bangalow sweet pork bbq ribs, corn fed chicken, braised oxtail with Agria potato and roasted winter veggies, all served with a side of cranberry sauce and mixed-herb butter.
One of the highlights was the tender wagyu beef striploin, cooked to a perfect pink. Its smoky aroma and flavour captivated my senses. I marveled at how the seasoning had managed to infuse every crevice of the steak.
The chicken breast had enticing grilled markings on the skin, contributing to its smoky allure. The flesh was also exceptionally moist and cooked well.
The beef cheek was braised to a melt-in-your-mouth texture, imparting the creamy richness of the fats into the meat itself, creating a full bodied flavour.
Watch your dessert get engulfed in blue flames right in front of your eyes when you’re served the Flamed Drunken Festive Pudding (S$28). The steamed sticky date pudding comes with a cognac brandy butterscotch sauce, accompanied by a roasted wattle seed ice cream.
Enjoy a FREE glass of champagne with a minimum spend of S$168 when you dine at any of their signature restaurants, including Osia Steak and Seafood Grill, Ocean Restaurant, Syun, Soi Social, Feng Shui Inn and Chifa!.

Modern fine dining with a view at Ocean Restaurant (Equarius Hotel)
Ocean Restaurant temporarily whisks you to an ethereal-like underwater dimension. Be mesmerised by the sight of massive manta rays, predatory barracudas, and other marine life while relishing in modern European fine dining delicacies.
This holiday season, dive into a lineup of festive sets (lunch and dinner) starting from S$148++. For those who want to zhush up your experience, optional Wine Pairing is also available.
The 6-Course Festive Lunch Menu (S$188++) kicks off with the Amuse-Bouche. Then be delighted by the light-as-a-feather Hokkaido Scallop with crunchy hazelnuts, creamy avocado and citrusy yuzu.
Be amazed at the delicate Frog Leg, encased by crispy kataifi and served with a parsley and garlic reduction. The perfectly-cooked Lobster is harmonised with an umami-rich lobster reduction, complemented by earthy shavings of black truffle, and chestnuts for a touch of Christmas flair.
The Dover Sole with ‘seaweed’ skin is paired with a tangy butter sauce, celtuce and topped with a light celery parsley foam. Then indulge in succulent Venison drizzled with a chocolate raspberry jus, miso pumpkin, and an apple pumpkin puree.
To end things on a sweet note, the Cannelloni Almond Cream is divine – consisting of sweet poached pears, crispy feuilletine and ginger.
