Feast 2017 Away At Spice Brasserie (PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road)

Hi Huneybees,

It's the end of the year and it's definitely the time of the year where we meet up with our friends and relatives to do a little catch-up, and what better way to do that than to do it Singaporean style - Makan Feast!

Taking pride in the unique location in the heart of Little India, the hotel’s culinary team brings forth
Christmas with an Indian twist, presenting a Roasted Whole Turkey in Tandoori Style, paired with a
piquant Spicy Coconut Gravy, that’s sure to satiate taste buds hankering after something spicy in a
season often overwhelmed by sweet treats!

Of course, there's also the dishes that's on a more traditional Yuletide note like Roasted Whole Turkey with Chestnut Stuffing, Giblet Sauce and Cranberry Sauce or savoury carving dishes such as Honey Baked Ham with Pineapple Raisin Sauce (one of my must try!) and Crispy Pork Knuckle that promise to enrich any gathering with flavours of a most cozy, hearty Christmas.

For the seafood lovers, don't miss out on the cold food section where you can find fresh Holland Mussels, Oysters and Lobster Claws alongside the sashimi slices. And for something warm,  go on over to the chefs and order yourself the Claypot Pumpkin Crab and also pick up the Mango Lobster.

These 2 dishes had me going in for seconds and thirds. They are simply fresh and unable to find in other buffets out there. You have got to snag them fast coz they run out very fast...

Another recommended must try for me is also the Roasted Prime Beef with Black Pepper and Mushroom Sauce. I picked those that are cooked medium rare, paired with the specially made sauce, it was heaven in my mouth with that tenderness!

Yes! That's cake too!

Those with sweet-tooth, don't forget to end your buffet feast with their delectable choices of Christmas desserts. They have the standard Chocolate Log Cake, but what I love the most is the Christmas White Chocolate and Lemon Curd Log Cake for its zesty-sweet taste combination. Also, enjoy a nice warm serving of the Bread & Butter Pudding with Dried Cranberries. They have it nicely made, soft like marshmallow and not overly sweet.

The Festive Feasting is now available at Spice Brasserie, with a full spread of seasonal fare to be enjoyed and below are the charges.

Enjoy the wide spread of festive treats and enjoy the last few moments of 2017 as you usher in the New Year! Bon Appétit ~

Mother’s Day Promotion at The Boxing Crab

Hi Huneybees,

Photo credit: michhysaurous.blogspot.sg

Mother's Day is just round the corner and I would love to introduce you to a hidden "treasure" where you can find good food and enjoy the sea breeze - The Boxing Crab.

Located right behind Underwater World in Sentosa, this restaurant offers a variety of chinese cuisine and I must say the most sought after is their crabs. What's the best plan for Mother's Day?

A day trip to Sentosa, last attraction with looking at the beautiful fishes at Underwater World and then head to the back for dinner, watching the sunset along the beach, whilst enjoying some good food and great family bonding time...

So, this is the menu that The Boxing Crab have installed for Mother's Day. It is available at $328++ for 4 people from now till 12 May 2013. Portions shown in this post were for 10 diners.

Deep Fried Spiny Lobster Salad

"2 beautiful lobsters stand before me, but only one will make it into my stomach"...  *ANTM overdose*

The lobster flesh is coated in salad cream and the fresh firm meat was very inviting and amazing to tickle our palettes to what's to come up... 

Braised Treasure Chicken in Lotus Leaf

The braised chicken does not have the best seller's look, but it's a chockful of taste and it was my hubby's favourite dish out of the menu. The chicken is tender and the sauce is "soaked" in flavours from the chestnut and mushrooms with the faint fragrance of the lotus leaf. It goes very well with plain rice.

Homemade Water Chestnut Bean Curd with Spiced Meat

A homely dish that almost all mothers can cook. The slightly browned crust of the bean curd and soft inside is definitely a dish that is suitable for kids and elders. Loving the taste of stewed minced pork sauce that is a divine sauce to go with the rice.

Stir Fried Scallop & Prawn with Asparagus

A little letdown for this dish. Looking at how fresh the ingredients are, with the fanciful bird-nest like basket,  I would thought it to be full of the "Wok Hei". However, it's a very light dish, healthy choice, but it could have done better with a pinch of salt. 

Can you guess what's the surprise?

Braised Chili Crab wrapped in Lotus Leaf served with Deep Fried Bun

Our local delight, Chilli Crab with a twist. Wrapped in lotus leaf, the dish is more fragrant than those that we eat usually. Not my favourite dish, as it was not spicy enough. The crab comes with Deep Fried Bun for you to dip in the chilli sauce too!

Another dish off the menu, that goes well with the Deep Fried Bun is...

Braised Claypot Crab with Superior Broth & Pumpkin

The Boxing Crab’s signature dish that is featured on the other set menu is a hot favourite. (Be sure to call before heading over to the restaurant to check availability). The golden sauce is derived from the pumpkin purée and salted egg yolk and a touch of mild curry spiciness.

Hubby just love both the crab dishes...

I prefer this pumpkin crab compared to the chilli crab, I simply couldn't stop dipping for more sauce . However, be mindful of the cholesterol you are piling on...

Stir Fried Vermicelli with Seafood

The stir fried vermicelli was a tad too bland, especially after having the crab, the vermicelli seemed to bring you back down to earth after touching heaven. Nice selling look but would definitely benefit from a little extra salt or soy sauce.

Red Bean Soup with Coconut & Lotus Seed

I am not a fan of red bean, so I only had a sip of the soup. It's not too sweet and both hubby and I agree that  the health conscious mothers or grandmothers would definitely love it.
