We started the evening with a refreshing Christmas mocktail.

Chicken Liver Pâté, Cranberry Marmalade and Saffron Cream on Toasted Brioche Bread. Crafted especially for this festive period. The pâté is creamy and delicate, sitting on crispy brioche bread. The cranberry marmalade added a sweet fruity flavour to the entrée. Plated together with Italian Prosciutto Ham, Cantaloupe Melon, Arugula Salad. One of our favourite entrées, a combination of sweet and savoury, to arouse your taste buds.

Slow Braised Pork and Spiced Tomato Jam Tartine. A festive version of pulled pork on toast. The pork is fork-tender, savoury and a bit acidic, while the spiced tomato jam tartine, gave a spicy kick at the end.

For the seafood version, Norwegian Smoked Salmon Tartine - Homemade Sourdough, Charred Eggplant Labneh, Red Peppers, Pickles, Avocado, Dill, Cucumbers, Capers and Red Onion. Although I am not an eggplant fan, I enjoy this dish. The eggplant is smoky, nutty and paired well with smoked salmon. The acidity from the capers and pickles balance this rich and creamy dish nicely.

Roasted Striploin, Peppercorn Jus, Saffron Parmesan Creamy Polenta. The roasted sirloin has a lovely charred exterior, followed with tender and succulent medium-rare flesh. Instead of the traditional mash potatoes, the roast is plated on smooth and creamy polenta bask in peppercorn juice. Yummy.

If you love lamb, you don’t want to miss out on the Sous Vide Lamb Chop, Pomegranate Glaze, Mash Potatoes and Cress. The lamb is cooked to perfection. The sous vide enhance the meat texture, which was juicy, tender & succulent, the knife just cut through the flesh effortlessly. Accompanied by velvety mash potatoes and fruity glaze. I can definitely have 2 serving or more for this dish.

Charcoal Grilled Lobster, Béarnaise Sauce & “Kai Yang” - Thai Herbs Marinated Chicken, Homemade Sauce. From the barbeque pit, a mix between East and West. The lobster is smoky with juicy and bouncy flesh topped with creamy béarnaise, while the chicken is succulent and well marinated. The homemade sauce is spicy, yet still manageable.

Another creation from the bbq team is Slow Cooked Butter Garlic Manila Clams, Grilled Sour Dough. The clams are sweet and juicy and the gravy filled with the essence of the clams mixed with rich garlic and butter flavour.

Server table side is Chef’s carving trolley carrying Roasted Turkey, Cranberry Bread Stuffing Glazed Chestnut, Roasted Brussels Sprout, and Turkey Jus. For those who don’t like turkey because the meat is dry, you must definitely give this turkey a chance. I ordered the dark meat while LD order the white meat.

Surprising, both cuts are equally moist, succulent and tasty. The cranberry glaze and roasted brussels sprouts provide interlude between sweet and bitter taste, while the asparagus add the crunchy texture to the overall dish. One of the best roast turkey that we ever had. Though it is delicious, my suggestion is to ask for a small portion, as there is a lot more food to try.

Braised Chestnuts, Pork Belly and Mushroom, Pumpkin Rice. An Asian inspired Christmas creation, filled with robust, umami pack flavour and melt-in-your-mouth pork belly. The crunchy chestnut and al-dente pumpkin rice are just irresistible. It was so fabulous; I can’t stop scooping the rice although I was almost full.

Gourmet Bubble and Squeek - Egg Benedict, Chorizo, Wild mushrooms, Truffle, Poached Egg, Hollandaise and Smoked Paprika. A sneak peeks into New Year’s Day Brunch menu with this traditional British dish. Perfectly cooked egg benedict, topped with thick hollandaise sauce sitting on the bed of roughly mashed potatoes, fully loaded with wild mushrooms and truffle. A comforting breakfast dish and good hangover food.

For the desserts, we were served Mini Yule Log, Pavlova, Traditional Stollen, Caramel Maple Pecan Tart, Panettone Pudding and Lemon Pie. Our pick is the Pavlova and Lemon Pie. The pavlova is just irresistible, served in a martini glass, it light, airy and the fresh cream is not overly sweet. The sourness from the berries helps to balance the sugar. LD says she is so full but she just simply finished the whole dessert, as she says it gives her the sweet memory of Christmas in Australia.

Meanwhile, the Lemon Pie has a crunchy tart base, following with tangy refreshing lime fillings and a touch of meringue. A nice finale to the sumptuous meal.

Overall, it was indeed a festive gastronomic experience as Oscar’s. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is very festive. We love the frosted window look from outside, it really brought up the Christmas winter atmosphere. Cheers & Merry Christmas!!
