| Festive Goodies by Mandarin Oriental Singapore |
December
is a month where festivities just filled the air. A time where
co-workers, friends and family gather and enjoy each other company,
delicious food and cheer someone up with a little gift to show them
that you care.

| Two-Tone Truffle Roasted Turkey, with Traditional Christmas Stuffing |
This
year, Melt Café treat us to the preview of their offerings during
this festive period.
 |
| Maple Glazed Semi-Boned Ham |
 |
| Clam Chowder Soup |
Salad,
Parma ham with Bocconcini, shaved Parmesan, Tomatoes and
Balsamic vinegar dressing. A
combination of thin slices of Parma Ham with the creamy Bocconcini is
just endearing. The balsamic vinegar bind all the ingredients
together. Creamy, Salty, Cheesy, Tangy and Fresh. Definitely my
choice of salad.

From
the Festive Roast, we tried Maple Glazed Semi-Boned Ham and
Two-Tone Truffle Roasted Turkey, with Traditional Christmas Stuffing.
Though I am not a fan of Christmas ham, I was able to appreciate the
one that was specially prepared by Melt Café. It is tender, a touch
of saltiness that is well covered with the maple glaze. It is served
with grilled pineapple, which is perfect to balance the meatiness in
the ham.

Turkey is perfectly done. We were served the turkey breast and it was
moist and flavourful. The meat is mildly infused with truffle
flavour, and the sauce basking the meat upon serving made it even
better. I skipped the stuffing since I am not a great fan of it.

To
accompany the festive roast are Buttered Brussels Sprouts and Roast
Pumpkin. While some brussels sprouts can be perceived as slightly
bitter, the version here is just rich and crunchy. It seems the
butter remove any trace of bitterness in the sprouts making it a
beautiful side for the meats. The roasted pumpkin has a sweet and
creamy texture, provided a good pairing for roast turkey and ham.

Of
course, the festive meal will not be complete without trying the
dessert. I tried White Forest Christmas Wreath, Chocolate Yule Log
Cake and Praline Chestnut Pear. My personal favourite is actually
their log cake. The chocolate triple combination of dark chocolate
creamier, chocolate sponge and chocolate crunch nicely melts in your
mouth. Chocolategasm!!
The
Festive Meal is available on top of the extensive spread on offer in
Melt Café.
