With a plethora of fabulous dining options all in one spot, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better destination for your Christmas feasts and celebrations
Christmas in Singapore is a colourful, exciting affair so if you’re ready to get dressed (and pumped) up for your family gatherings and friendly catch-ups, be sure to put Orchard Central and its seven stellar restaurants on your list when planning where to go for those festive get-togethers.
Dean & DeLuca
Thinking of dining in for a change? Whether you’re on the lookout for some good ol’ turkey or want to up the ante with certain dishes by adding special ingredients like white truffle oil to the mix, you can bet Dean & DeLuca (#01-09/10/15, p. 65097708) has got your Christmas grocery shopping needs covered with its gourmet hampers (there are four types of holiday meats to choose from) – ranging from $140 to $160 – and special festive gift sets for the season of giving.
En Sakaba
Japanese izakaya En Sakaba (#01-16, p. 6634 1018) is known for signature creations such as the grilled hotate (scallops with exquisite add-ons of your choice; think uni sauce and foie gras), but since it’s Christmas time, go for the festive menu ($78 per pax, minimum of four diners). It features six courses and has highlights such as grilled Kurobuta pork cheek on rice. Best of all: each person gets free flow shochu and sake as well as one round of beer for two whole hours.
