Roast Turkey @ Xperience

Santa is SO/ coming to town, come and celebrate this festive season ith over-the-top feasts done the SO/ audacious way through Christmas Brunches, Dinners and Takeaways. In-house dining will take place at Xperience, a vibrant all-day restaurant and bar known for its tantalizing cuisine and attentive service. Chef Nyon Yan Quan has taken the lead this time around and has curated a sumptuous meal for us to savour.

Over-Flowing Brunch Tower

We were invited to try the Christmas Brunches and we started the meal with Xperience Signature Over-Flowing Brunch Tower. Consist of 3 levels of treats, from savoury to sweets. At level 1, we have overflowing platter filled with appetizer, artisanal cold cults, cheese and brunch items.

The Beef Con Carne Tortilla Chips with Cheese hits the sweet spot in me. It is thick, robust and bursting with flavour, sitting perfectly on crispy tortilla chips. Together with smoked salmon and wild rocket salad, it was a nice start to the meal.

Level 1

Moving to Level 2, you are treated with Bounty of the Sea. I enjoy the flesh of the Garlic Butter Roasted Boston Lobster. Most of the time, I enjoyed my Alaskan King Crab served on an iced bowl, it takes a bit of getting used to having it served at room temperature.

Level 2

Level 3 are reserved for desserts and you must pace yourself and keep some space for them at the end of your meal. However, before I go to level 3, let’s take a detour to the free flow Carving Stations. A sampler platter will be served to your table to start, you can then inform the service staff of additional dishes that you want to add.

Whole Roasted Turkey. Perfectly roasted. The dark meat is juicy, succulent and packs with flavour. Meanwhile, the white meat part is lean, yet moist. The gravy complements both cuts nicely.

Homemade Honey Baked Ham. Served in generous thick slices, I like the smokiness of the flesh. It is very meaty, therefore best enjoy with the braised purple cabbage.

Mediterranean Spiced Roasted Striploin. Roasted to medium-rare, each slice of the striploin is pink in the middle. The fats from the top of the sirloin, rendered into the meat to ensure the flesh remains juicy and succulent. The crust at the edges of the roast delivers a contrasting texture to the flesh and infused the meat with additional flavour. I asked for additional servings of the beef and it definitely goes well with warm potato salad.

Seabass Fillet with Tomato and Olive salsa. The boneless seabass is moist, meaty yet flaky. The fish is lightly seasoned and it just melts in your mouth. The tomato and olive salsa provided a sweet and tangy burst of flavour but did not overpowering the flavour of the fish. Yummy!.

Now coming back to Level 3, the desserts. From the folks that curated Sunday brunch menu fully based on pancakes, you know the pancakes are a must-try Moist, flavourful with a hint of chewiness, it is just delicious. Together with chantilly cream, brown butter and maple syrup are just impeccable.

Level 3, Desserts

The Macaroons has a light, smooth and crisp exterior. Followed by a chewy filling that is not overpoweringly sweet. Also don’t miss out on the solid chocolate Santa.

Overall, it was an enjoyable Christmas Brunch meal. The Carving Stations and dessert level of the brunch tower are my favourites. If you are still looking for a Christmas Brunch place this season, do consider Xperience at SO/ Singapore. Cheers!!
