Prepping for a big Christmas party this year? Then you’re in luck – the award-winning culinary team from Fairmont Singapore & Swissôtel The Stamford is back with their annual Christmas pop-up, Café Noël. Put away the aprons and knives as you order from a collection of luxurious festive treats of classic Yuletide goodies and specially-crafted gourmet creations this holiday season!
Roasted Tom Turkey with Chestnut Stuffing, Giblet Dressing And Cranberry Relish
Whipped up by Executive Pastry Chef Sebastien Cocquery-Beraud and his team of skilled patisserie chefs, you can expect their all-new pastries and artisanal breads – made from premium ingredients with a focus on fresh seasonal fruits and produce – to sweeten up your celebrations like never before. The star ingredient this year: aromatic cocoa beans from Cacao Barry harvested from exotic destinations like the Dominican Republic, Tanzania, Madagascar, and Ghana.
With a repertoire of five creative yule log cake flavours, you’re definitely spoilt for choice. The exquisite Chocolate Egg Nog Brandy Log Cake ($78, 1kg), a soft and creamy mousse cake that combines a crunchy, spiced eggnog base with rich layers of divine chocolate and St. Rémy’s Brandy, has an alcoholic punch that’ll have you craving for more.

No Christmas meal is complete with just cake, of course. Set to take centre stage in the festivities is the flavour-packed Roasted Tom Turkey with Chestnut Stuffing, Giblet Dressing And Cranberry Relish ($170, 4.5kg). Savour the natural robust flavours of this mountain-grown turkey imported from the United States. A worthy companion on the dinner table is the Cafe Swiss’ Crispy Pork Knuckle ($38, 1kg); sink your teeth into gorgeous the layers of aromatic, crackling skin and tender, succulent meat.
A heart-warming alternative to consider is Chef de Cuisine Antonio Facchinetti’s Prego’s Signature Lasagne ($66, serves 6).
