Enjoy an afternoon filled with dainty treats with the Landing Point’s Easter Afternoon Tea ($56).

A lavish Easter meal awaits at InterContinental Singapore. Ash and Elm will serve an Easter Weekend Champagne Brunch ($108), which features a meaty roast of herb-crusted roasted lamb leg. Roving trolleys will also bring to the table fine cheeses from around the world.

All year
Switch up the usual chocolate eggs with the all-new chocolate collection from The Marmalade Pantry. The ‘A Touch of Spring’ ($38) features 12 delight bon bons, each encapsulating fresh flavours of the season – from the rich and bold cappuccino and creamy Praline Noir, to the floral Osmanthus Mélodie with apricot puree and Arôme de Rose perfumed with a rose ganache middle.

The set lunch at Tablescape makes it a perfect excuse to gather with loved ones over a hearty spread. At $88, expect a feast that starts with a variety of cold cuts and cheese; and the truffle-laced Puffy Pastry, a take on the traditional Easter Pie commonly made by Italian mothers during this season. The best that the land and sea has to offer makes their way to the table too: chow down on seafood salad, beef and veal meatballs, roasted lamb leg, oven-baked fish, and pork belly roulade. Save space for some hot cross buns, baked with dried fruits, and chocolate pralines to finish the meal.
The extravagant spread at Beach Road Kitchen gets an Easter makeover with an indulgent Sunday champagne brunch (from $118). Highlights include an oyster trolley, filled with briny varieties from around the world, Alaskan king crab legs, grilled lobster with salted egg yolk sauce, oven-roasted tomahawk, and more. The meal ends with a socially distant Easter egg hunt; each table will be served a chocolate egg piñata that can be smashed to reveal hidden prizes.
March 26 to April 4
Easter at the household of chef Damian D’Silva comes with an unusual dish of beef murtabak – soft egg crepe serve as warm blankets for a spice-scented ground beef mixture.

Sample the beef murtabak ($22), along with other time-honoured recipes for a homely take on the usual Easter meal.
