Jazz up Your Christmas with Festive Goodies from Mandarin Orchard Singapore

Throwing Christmas parties at home or at the office has never been easier. With myriad options available in the form of takeaway goodies, anyone can pitch in with a mouthwatering roast or a delicious selection of Christmas desserts. This year, Mandarin Orchard Singapore has put together a dizzying array of sweet and savoury treats for the convenience of your festive get-togethers.

At the heart of any Christmas feast is a magnificent, meaty centerpiece. Our first choice of Mandarin Orchard’s offerings is definitely the flavourful Premium Honey Glazed Gammon Ham ($318, 4.2-4.5kg). The chefs have come up with a homemade honey pineapple sauce to go with it, but we recommend having the roast with a smear of wasabi if you enjoy a spicy kick.

Roasted US Black Angus Beef Rib Eye (L), Berkshire Pork Rack with Yuzu Himalayan Salt Crust (R)

Coming in a close second is the Roasted US Black Angus Beef Rib Eye ($390, 3kg) with a punchy green peppercorn truffle sauce. Order up a side of Festive Seasonal Veggies ($19, 500g) or Roasted New Potatoes ($19, 500g), and whip up a batch of Yorkshire pudding at home, and you’re all set. If you prefer another type of pork, the Oven Roasted Berkshire Pork Rack with Yuzu Himalayan Salt Crust ($230, 3kg) is more than a perfect alternative – we love the accompanying morel mushroom yuzu sauce, which pulls the savoury and zesty flavours together.

Roasted U.S.A Turkey

Christmas is never complete without a turkey or two and Mandarin Orchard has their Roasted U.S.A Turkey available in two sizes, 6kg ($218) and 8kg ($238). Regardless of which size you order, you can look forward to a tasty chestnut stuffing, giblet sauce, and cranberry sauce with your roasted fowl.

Assorted Premium Sushi Platter (L), Baked Norwegian Salmon Fillet with Watercress Crust (R)

Have pescetarians in the house? A new addition to the festive menu this year, the Baked Norwegian Salmon Fillet with Watercress Crust ($135, 1.5kg) with mustard dill sauce will have you covered. If you’re planning a big party, it won’t hurt to have the crowd-pleasing Assorted Premium Sushi Platter ($138, 50 pieces) too.

Round up the decadence of Christmas with a log cake or two. Our vote goes to the Valrhona Delicious Dulcey Yule Log ($80, 1kg). Everyone loves a chocolate cake, and this one’s made with 100% Valrhona chocolate and French cream – who can say no to that? Go for the newly launched Red Velvet Yule Log ($80, 1 kg) if you fancy something lighter to brighten up the party table.
