Festive feasting: Where to go for your next holiday meal

Festive feasting
Buffets, afternoon teas, and Christmas offerings from across the island.

We all have good intentions for the holiday season, including cooking a grand meal for friends and family with the house decked out in festive holly. But, as the old saying goes, good intentions don’t put onions in your soup. And given that Christmas is less than two weeks away, allow us to suggest a list of places where you can gather kith and kin to celebrate the holiday over delicious food and drink made by dedicated professionals instead.
There’s nothing like a holiday buffet to put you in a jolly mood. If yours is a multi-generational family with varying tastes, hit the lines at Singapore’s favourite buffet restaurants, including Colony at Ritz Carlton Millennia Singapore, Edge at Pan Pacific Singapore, Estate at Hilton Singapore Orchard, and The Line at Shangri-La Singapore.
For lighter, slower feasts, head to the numerous festive high teas available across town. At Intercontinental Singapore, the Festive Afternoon Tea (S$138 for two) is a collaboration with French confiture brand Bonne Mamman. Highlights include a pistachio yule cake featuring Bonne Maman’s Apricot Intense jam and warm buttermilk scones with a selection of preserves.
