The best Christmas buffets in Singapore

Tiil January 8

It's hard to not talk about one of the best buffets in town. In true Italian fashion, a grand feast (from $148) of seasonal delicacies awaits. Graze on a fine selection of Italian cheese where a special feature of house-made Gorgonzola is expressed in delicious, imaginative flavours, such as saffron and beer, and white chocolate and truffle. It's not a celebration without the traditional whole roasted turkey done Italian-style – marinated in Campari, Amalfi lemons and lavishly stuffed with blood orange, fresh basil, Cerignola green olives and Pecorino Romano. On Christmas Day, the endless feasting is turned up a notch with a smorgasbord of the finest seafood and caviars on ice while the enthralling live pasta stations whip up fresh orders of egg tagliolini with burrata cream and black truffle a la minute. Round it all off with decadent desserts of Pandoro, hazelnut tiramisu and nutcracker tart. This is one meal you'll need to bring your appetite.

Bring your heartiest of appetite for this hearty meal.
