Get ready to feast your fears this Halloween because InterContinental Singapore’s got a scrumptious spread awaiting you! Chef de cuisine Andrea Rossi has dialled up the spooky factor deliciously with a Halloween-themed buffet at LUCE (located in the InterContinental hotel) for 31 October 2024, and let me tell you, the items on the menu sound hellishly creative. I mean, where else are you going to try a Spicy Zombie’s Intestine? Just reading the lineup has me intrigued and a tad horrified – in the best way possible, of course.
If there’s one thing I love, it’s the Halloween season and good food. And with eerie names and daring flavour combinations, this buffet’s sure to bring about a hauntingly good time. What’s more, you can elevate your experience right beside LUCE at The Lobby Lounge – where Head Mixologist Rhodora Amurao has masterfully conjured a cocktail that will bewitch your senses and make your night extra special! So, are you ready for some fright and delight?
Frightful Feasts at LUCE
Let’s start with the one that immediately caught my attention – Spider on Spicy Devil’s Egg. Come on, it’s got “devil” in the name! These pack a punch of flavour in every bite, from the creamy mayo to the briny olives, to the dash of paprika that hits the spicy spot. All this is paired with rich bottarga, a cured fish roe delicacy that will coat your palate and amplify the flavours of this dish while adding a touch of luxury. Oh, and be sure to crunch into the olive spider that crowns this dish!
If you’re feeling a heartier main, the Poison Ivy Green Slimy Concoction is a showstopper. It’s a fluffy potato gnocchi dish loaded with basil pesto and fried eggplant, so you bet every morsel’s going to be full of creamy, herby goodness – with the salty, smoky notes of the pecorino cheese cutting through. I’ve had my fair share of gnocchi, but this already has me sold! Doesn’t it sound like the ultimate comfort food?
And then, of course, we have to get into the Spicy Zombie’s Intestine. Don’t let the name scare you! This charcoal pizza is a Pinsa, so it’s made of hand-pressed dough in true Roman artisan style, with a crispy, airy crust. LUCE’s Halloween version brings it to life (or to the grave, rather) with a luscious pumpkin cream, spicy Italian sausage, and smoked scamorza cheese. The Pinsa is also a healthier alternative to the traditional pizza!
But wait – we can’t forget dessert! Do you have a separate stomach for it too? I think they’ve outdone themselves with the irresistible Mini Ghastly Ghost Meringue Tart. It sounds almost too good to be true, with its delectable vanilla tart base, gorgeously caramelised apples, and the pleasant, understated texture and nutty notes of the almond cream. Decadent, sophisticated, and satisfying – everything I could wish for in a boo-tiful treat!

Savour A Venomous Concoction At The Lobby Lounge
As if the mouth-watering dishes weren’t enough to tantalise your taste buds, here’s a spellbinding cocktail to end the night. Introducing the Venomous Verde, a drink that will refresh your palate and perk you right up.
Infused with Midori’s fruitiness and the complex, herbal notes of Jung One Gin and Yellow Chartreuse, each sip is an adventure that bounces between sweet and citrusy, with the subtle hint of a gritty, earthy twist from the topping of Charcoal powder. What an enchanting potion!
Phew, I’m drooling already! If you love celebrating Halloween in style too, get festive and enjoy food with flair (and a side of fright)! Halloween just got a whole lot tastier, and trust me when I say the whole experience will be a spine-tingling blast. LUCE will be decked out with eerie decorations, and servers will be dripped out in creepy monster costumes! It’s not just the food visuals that will get you in the Halloween spirit.
Start making plans to bring your loved ones to this Halloween wonderland for an unforgettable night! Before it begins to haunt your dreams…
