As we head into the last stretch of November, work, Black Friday shopping, Thanksgiving and the FIFA World Cup has consumed our lives entirely. Take a break and respite in some holiday treats, from cruffins, to tipples and lobster rolls. Here’s where to get your breakfast, lunch and dinner fix this week!
We’re Lobstressed Over These Lobster Rolls
Christmas exclusive treats at Luke’s Lobster are putting a beloved Japanese twist on our favourite lobster rolls. Roe shines in the new umami Mentaiko Lobster Roll (S$34.50++) made with lobster claw and knuckle meat swathed in mentaiko mayo, and finished with seaweed flakes and chilli powder. Why stop at just one when you can get a Festive Trio (S$49.20++)? Try the new flavour alongside earthy-rich Truffle Butter Lobster Roll and the original Signature Lobster Roll in halved portions. Mix and match some ice cold beers to complete the soccer match watch party.
Luke’s Lobster has outlets in Orchard, Great World City and Jewel. Online delivery is available.
