Tis’ the season to be jolly and Parkroyal Collection Pickering knows all about setting the stage for heartwarming reunions over Yuletide epicurean feasts. The holiday cheer begins with a flurry of gastronomical events – from scrumptious festive buffets and decadent afternoon tea to festive roasts and impressive takeaways of Christmas favourites.
At Lime Restaurant, leave it to the German maverick – head chef and F&B director Ralf Dohmeier – to present a lavish showcase of holiday lunch (from $79) and dinner (from $108) classics. Start at the seafood bar where oysters, snow crabs, scallops and prawns sprawl across the ice. Carnivores can head straight for the mouth-watering festive roasts featuring succulent herb-crusted sirloin, triple-glazed ham and traditional stuffed roast turkey alongside other highlights of homemade salmon gravlax and festive pork and pistachio terrine.
Refresh your palate at the Asian selection where you’ll find chef specials like crab meat soup with braised fish lips, BBQ duck and the signature Pickering lobster laksa. That’s not all. A series of tasting dishes including lobster linguine and spicy prawn wonton will be prepared a la minute and served to your tables. Round off the hearty feast with a stellar lineup of sweet endings such as the reindeer mont blanc tart and a jaw-dropping flaming Christmas pudding.
For those looking to revel in a light-hearted afternoon tea session (from $88, serves two), Lime Restaurant also sets the mood with elevated festive treats paired with unlimited servings of Bacha coffee and TWG tea. Tuck into dainty sweets like the choco classic yule log and minty dark chocolate eclair, or go savoury with bites of crispy lobster arancini and caviar and gravlax pumpernickel. Fizz up the party and make a toast to the small wins of the year with a little bubbly top-up of champagne and sparkling wines.
Hosting a Christmas party in the comforts of your own home with plenty of mouths to feed? Lime on the Go has got you covered with its hassle-free festive goodies that are sure to spruce up your dining tables. Customise your very own Gourmet Roast Set (from $198) where you can choose between traditional whole roast Christmas turkey, triple-glazed baked ham and the best of both worlds combination of roast turkey breast with roast ham. All roast sets include a winter kale salad, four traditional sides, two stuffings, sauces, as well as one homemade baked pie of either pecan or pumpkin.
Artisanal log cakes are also not to be missed. Masterminded by an in-house pastry chef, the yule logs ($78) feature three unique expressions: chocolate pear, peach oolong and cherry pistachio.
