Peranakan Roast Turkey, Japanese New Year Bento Box & Other Festive Takeaways, Deliveries To Consider

Roasted Whole Lamb Shoulder with rice

For a main course with a difference, check out Fireplace’s Roasted Whole Lamb Shoulder ($168, feeds up to six people), a 3kg hunk of tender meat marinated in white wine and salt, slow-cooked for four hours, and kissed by flames on an applewood-fired grill. On the side is a bed of fluffy pilaf rice simmered in lamb stock and tossed with mushrooms and peas. It also comes with roasted veggies and vibrant sides like chimichurri and tomato-onion salad. Order at least two days in advance.

Peranakan spiced turkey

For turkey with a twist, check out Shangri-La Singapore’s Nyonya Spiced Roasted U.S. Whole Turkey. For $258 (4.5kg), you’ll get the bird and a bevy of sides like roasted curried potatoes, wok-fried garden vegetables, spiced chestnut stuffing, brussels sprouts, soy-glazed chestnuts, and roasted pumpkin. Also on the hotel’s take-home menu are Acacia Honey and Fennel Pollen Glazed Gammon Ham ($300, 7kg), which comes with sides like smoked potato mousseline, sweet and sour beets, and caramelised brussels sprouts. Other options include Angus Beef Wellington ($348, 1.5kg) and Roasted Norwegian Salmon ($168 nett, 2kg), both accompanied by their own collection of supporting dishes.

Deboned stuffed turkey, Italian-style

For a simple-to-carve turkey dinner, try Acqua e Farina’s Tacchino Ripieno ($154, serves up to five people), a deboned turkey stuffed with minced chicken, chestnuts and mushrooms that’s a breeze to carve. Other delicious things in this festive line-up are pork collar rolled with spinach omelette ($128, serves six to eight), tender lamb racks ($92, serves six to right), and comforting lasagne al forno ($50, serves up to three people).

Traditional roast turkey or wagyu beef wellington

In the same fashion, the Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore has plenty of impressive roast feasts like the Wagyu Beef Wellington Dinner ($528), Roasted Turkey Dinner ($328), and Black Angus Rib-Eye Dinner ($428). Add $48 for a gingerbread fruit cake with your takeaway roast package. Like most upscale hotels in Singapore, Shangri-La and the Ritz-Carlton also boast a selection of sweet festive treats to brighten your season.

Buffets for a large crowd

If yours is more of a massive party and less of a quiet, elegant evening, Kryston Catering’s Atelier Buffets ($25.88 per head) come with buffet set-ups for 30 guests or more. The caterer’s Starlight and Snowfall packages are designed for slightly smaller groups of 15 to 20 people, complete with modular heating trays to fit four courses.

Festive Japanese bento box

Finally, if you’re dreaming of Japan but stuck in Bukit Timah this year-end, gather up some Japanese holiday vibes by way of Fat Cow’s Osechi Box ($500, feeds four people). This three-tiered bento is filled with over 50 dishes symbolising good fortune, happiness and health for the coming year. Think wagyu pickled in saikyo miso, grilled Toriyama tenderloin and Ohmi rib-eye, roasted baby sardines, teriyaki yellowtail, and simmered bamboo shoots, just to name a few. Order from now till Dec 22, for collection only on Dec 31.
