If your tinsel is up and your presents all planned, there’s just one thing left to prep for your Christmas party: the food. Merrymaking at home in 2020 looks like a better idea than ever, especially when you can get gourmet roasts, seafood gems, and sweet treats ready-cooked with a click. To get you and your guests well-stuffed, we’ve put together the best spots for festive takeaways in Singapore this year, from the classic to the unconventional.

PAUL

What better way to celebrate Noël than French feasting with PAUL? Those with a taste for tradition can tuck into familiar flavours at home with the Herbs de Provence Roast Turkey (S$128, 4kg) served with roasted veggies, cranberry jam and turkey pepper gravy. Or get fusional with our picks – the Sriracha & Pineapple Glazed Turkey Ham (S$78, 1.5kg) and the sambal quail egg stuffed White Curry Roast Turkey (S$128,4kg) that comes with coconut rice, crispy anchovies, Asian pickled salad, and white curry gravy.

Dessert might be almost too pretty to eat. Indulge in treats like Citron Meringue Log (S$30, serves four) decked in edible snowflakes and decadent Mini Mont Blanc Tarts (S$39 for eight) stacked with a whole chestnut, chestnut puree, more finely chopped chestnuts, and white chantilly mousse while designing your own Christmas ornaments (S$29.90 for a 30-piece box). Each set comes with six colouring markers for you to get crafty!

Available from: 20 November to 31 December 2020

Greenwood Fish Market

‘Tis the season for seafood at Greenwood Fish Market, with a festive array of ocean gems to outshine your usual turkey. For your Christmas centrepiece, look no further than the Salmon Wellington (S$98 for 1kg) – think Atlantic salmon wrapped in mushroom duxelle and spinach, then cocooned in buttery pastry – or the Lobster & Salmon Wellington (S$188 for 1kg), which amps up the feasting with three whole Maine lobsters.

Count on showstopping whole fish offerings like Loup de Mer (S$8.90++/100g) and Ocean Trout (S$6.90++/100g) – each can be either poached, hot smoked, salt-baked, or roasted to your fancy. No Greenwood experience is complete without a platter of freshly shucked oysters. The selection is deliciously diverse, from sweet, meaty Japanese Kago (S$78 per dozen) to rich, mineral Ostra Regal (S$107.40 per dozen) from Ireland.

Publico Ristorante

If you aren’t much of a turkey fan, Publico Ristorante has a luscious, crackling pork belly roast that’s calling your name. The InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay restaurant is cooking up Italian revelry with their Festive Feast Kits To-Go (S$148++ for two, S$288++ for four), available par cooked or ready to eat. DIY your own gourmet pasta with handmade rigatoni and crab ‘mamma rosa’ sauce, sink your teeth into Porchetta oven-roasted to succulent perfection, and finish indulgent with their famed Tiramisu.

It’s not a feast without vino, and Publico delivers with organic wines from acclaimed Tuscan estate Il Borro. Owned by the fashionable Ferragamo clan, Il Borro’s wines are crafted with a biodynamic vision and respect for the land. Take your merrymaking up a notch with the crisp, fruity Rose’ del Borro Toscana IGT or the citrusy Lamelle IGT Toscana Chardonnay (both S$80 add-on).

Oxwell & Clan

Just in time for Christmas, Ann Siang haunt Oxwell & Co has regained life as a pop-up at Straits Clan’s Clan Cafe. Restarting its beloved Boxwell & Go delivery service with family-style roasts and all the classic fixings, chow down on Whole Free Range Roast Chicken (S$65 for 1kg) or succulent Grass-Fed Roasted Beef Striploin (S$160 for 1kg), served with roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding.

Even anti-veggie diehards might be won over by Oxwell’s take on Charred Brussel Sprouts (S$18), tossed with smoked bacon and drizzled with maple syrup, or the rich, crisp-topped Baked Cauliflower Cheese (S$18). Best of all, with every meal purchased, Oxwell & Clan will be donating a meal to people in need via The Food Bank Singapore. What better way to get into the Christmas spirit?

Available from: 11 November to 31 December 2020, only on Sundays

The Marmalade Pantry

Yule revelry doesn’t get much more homely than The Marmalade Pantry’s festive spread. This homegrown bistro does a Traditional Whole Roast Turkey (S$128) right, featuring a mouthwatering bird rubbed with garlic and rosemary before being slathered in butter. The Maple and Clove Glazed Ham (S$128) is another stellar classic – a sweet-spicy gammon ham glazed with maple syrup.

The meats might be the star at the Christmas table, but The Marmalade Mac & Cheese (S$24) threatens to steal the spotlight. Rich with truffle butter and three cheeses – Parmesan, cheddar, and mozzarella – this dish redefines soul food. For dessert, the Pandan Gula Melaka Log Cake (S$65) with gula melaka-infused coconut flakes will do nicely.

Porta

Christmas fun doesn’t need to be all heavy meats, as Porta’s elegant spread proves. This European restaurant at Park Hotel Clarke Quay has crafted a four-course festive menu (S$66 per pax), featuring a lively medley of surf and turf. Start off comforting with Butternut Pumpkin Soup alongside buttery focaccia croutons, then dive into pan-seared Hokkaido Scallops jazzed up with avruga caviar and bacon bits.

For mains, pick between tender Black Cod bathed in a tomato sauce house-made with pork chorizo and chickpeas, or Australian Beef Tenderloin drizzled with red wine sauce and served with king oyster mushrooms. The Chocolate Log Cake is a classic crowd-pleaser, with shaved chocolate and tangy raspberry taking the indulgence up the notch.
