If you’re braving the crowd and heading out to celebrate this festive season, I hope you have a mesmerising day out with your loved ones this season! Here’s a list of delights to reward yourself with after weaving through throngs of people out shopping and having fun this Christmas.
Baccarat x Mandarin Oriental, Singapore’s Enchanted Afternoon Tea

Starting off light, sprinkle in a little Christmas spirit through the Enchanted Afternoon Tea (S$88++ per person), launched by Baccarat and Mandarin Oriental, Singapore. Available from 29 November 2024 to 5 January 2025, pamper yourself and take a break filled with luxurious treats and feel like royalty for an afternoon.
Whether it’s the Dungeness Crab Gâteau with xérès-infused watermelon or Moss, a green tea travel cake that you’re grabbing, this afternoon tea satisfies both the savoury and sweet cravings that come later in the day. But if you really want to up your experience? Sip on a glass of Ruinart Champagne alongside your afternoon tea (S$108++ per person)!
And in a collaboration like this, there are bound to be exclusive offerings. Fashioned after Baccarat’s crystals and signature red, there’s the Baccarat Gem – a mini version of which is also available as part of the afternoon tea. Fans of floral and tea-based flavours will be drawn to this edible gem. Made up of rosemary cream, a fragrant wild strawberry compote, eglantine coulis and as well as a layer of Earl Grey tea mousse, this cake sounds light and inviting, perfect for a comfortable afternoon tea.

Princess Terrace Festive Menu

Forget the usual flavours of Christmas. With Princess Terrace’s Christmas Menu at Copthorne Hotel, embark on a journey that fuses bold Penang flavours with classic holiday dishes. Here with 2 different buffets – the Festive Buffet and Christmas Buffet – you’ll eat until your heart’s content, surrounded by familiar festive delicacies tweaked with a Peranakan twist.
Only available during the Christmas Buffet, a highlight you can expect is the Nonya-style Roasted Turkey Breast with Buah Keluak Sauce. Painstakingly prepared, the turkey is marinated for 24 hours using over seven distinct spices that are traditional to Nonya and Peranakan cuisine, ensuring every bit of turkey is infused with a mouthwatering aroma. Afterwards, the bird is slow-roasted for 2 hours, making sure it stays tender and filled with flavour. With a side of homemade Buah Keluak sauce, the earthy decadence mixes with the flavour of the turkey, creating an elevated mouthfeel and taste.
And what’s a buffet without live stations and carving stations? Grab your favourite Penang street food from the live stations, featuring Penang Hokkien Mee Soup with Lobster and the homemade Penang Popiah. Then, pick up a new plate before heading over to the carving station to pile your plate with meat! Serving festive classics like the Slow-roasted Sirloin and Honey Baked Ham with Homemade Pineapple Jam, make sure to leave space for seconds!
Finally, wrap up your spree with traditional desserts like the Crispy Bang Chang Kueh, Nonya Kuehs, and other sweet treats crafted in-house!

8 Hands Chef Christmas Menu and Kristmas Komyuniti at Hotel YOTEL

Our journey brings us next to Hotel YOTEL, presenting two Christmas delights! First is the Christmas spread created by 8 Hands Chef, available as two, three or four courses at S$60++ to S$80++ per person from 20 December 2024 to 29 December 2024.
Need a subtle fresh sweetness to start your meal? Or maybe something earthy yet refreshing? Whet your appetite with the Hokkaido Scallop Carpaccio or Zucchini & Mint Soup. With stunning visuals combining vibrant spots of colour, it’s a plate not only for your tastebuds but your eyes as well!
With a multitude of mains available, here’s the one that caught my eye. The Salmon Elf Hunt is perfect for those who favour a lighter main that doesn’t compromise on flavour – or if you’re like me, a salmon fanatic. A tender Cajun salmon crowned with homemade charcoal hives chips and a creamy lemon foam – doesn’t that just sound amazing? Not only does it sound mouthwatering, I’m sure it’s beautiful too.
Finally, for dessert, we have the Santa Chestnut Mousse Cake, meticulously shaped into a Christmas tree. Layered with chestnut mousse, chestnut paste and mixed berries, this cake is the ideal switch-up of flavours. Paired with a scoop of rum and raisin ice cream, this decadent dessert is kicked up to the perfect notch.

Done with your meal? Well, Kristmas Komyuniti brings four Christmas-sy mixes at S$18++ each. The Grinch is bold with its iconic red and green, infused with juicy pomegranate. The Eggnog Martini, is rich and creamy, taking traditional eggnog flavours and adding a twist to it.
Sip on the Ho Ho Holiday Punch, blending warm cinnamon notes in a cocktail sangria. And lastly, try the Santa’s Pocket Whisky, featuring a Bourbon base as well as other Christmas elements, served in an exclusive Komyuniti Christmas takeaway 200ml hip flask – truly fit for your pocket!

MO Bar’s Exclusive Festive Cocktails

Celebrating through drinks more your style? Check out MO BAR and their cocktails with a Christmas twist at S$38++ each. Displaying four unique brews—two designed by Kim Jung Hoo, Head Bartender at MO BAR Singapore and two crafted by the talented Hidenori Fukuda, Head Bartender of B Bar, Tokyo—diners are treated to these ingenious incorporations of Christmas.
First is a Matcha Fiora served in Baccarat Fiora Tumbler created by Hidenori Fukuda. With matcha being all the rage lately, this twist on the Old Fashioned allows the white rum base to mix with the earthy matcha, accompanied by the bright notes of cherry liquor. Served in
Baccarat’s Fiora Tumbler, the cocktail’s green hue spotlights the glass’ tiara-esque design painting the image of a Christmas wreath.
Another drink created by Fukuda, the Noël Orange served in Baccarat Harcourt Glass cleanses your palate with a zesty orange and warms you up with Christmas spices topped with champagne. Toast your loved ones this Christmas with this delectable blend of flavours.
Moving onto Kim Jung Hoo’s creation, try out the Tropical Christmas served in Baccarat Harmonie Highball. This sounds very intriguing already! With a fig-infused whisky as the base, this is a cocktail made for lovers of both Whisky Sour and Ramos Gin Fizz. With an interesting addition of Pei Pa Koa, I can’t wait to see how the sourness and mintiness of this drink taste together!
Finally, we have the Winter in Mid-Summer served in Baccarat Passion Champagne Glass. With Asian tea notes, this beverage uses Jasmine and Dragon Pearl Green Tea-infused Gin as well as Butterfly Pea-infused White Wine Pomelo Juice, reminiscent of alcohol-infused boba. The feel and vibe this drink is giving reminds me of a winter night sky right out of a historical drama!
Drawn to any of these? To be honest, I really wanna try the one with matcha. Secure a table and take a sip of these cocktails at Mo Bar this coming festive season!
