Festive Feasting @ PARKROYAL on Beach Road

Every now and then, we do think about buffets. It's especially more fun if you have a few friends to eat with you. Just the other day, the wife and I and a few other blogger friends were stuffing ourselves silly at Plaza Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Beach Road.

(If you think Christmas is over and you can't have enough of the Christmas Turkey, Ham, etc. Plaza Brasserie still has it till New Year's Day!)



The wife's favourite! She loves buffets with oysters! The first thing that she 'attacks'!
I usually go for some warm food first meats!

Showing every dish of a buffet can be quite daunting task. I shall just highlight some of their festive offerings. These photos are not from stock photos provided by the hotel, but food that's served to guest to be eaten.

So it's as real as it gets, taken right from the buffet line.
 

The traditional Roast Turkey with Sausage Meat, Chestnut and Mushroom stuffing.
It's available at the 'live' cooking station.


There's also the Roasted Honey Glazed Ham with Pineapple and Cranberry Sauce.
This year's new introduction to the festive menu: Pork Knuckles.


The pork knuckles are served in Asian inspired Spicy Sauce and Red Wine Sauce.
Other things available at the live station includes Roasted Duck served with Chilli and Plum Sauce.

I had a few servings of sashimi, noodles from the noodle section. I was looking for their chicken rice, but they were serving Fried Rice with Seafood that night.

Here's a list of things they serve for mains. They don't serve everything but most of it every night from this list. Here it goes....  Deep Fried Crispy Eggplant with chicken Floss, Stir Fried Butter Prawns, Braised Vegetable with Conpoy, Crab Meat and Topshells, Oven Roasted Duck Breast Meat with Marinated Cherries, Crispy Soft Shell Crab, Grilled Fish Fillet with Mustard Sauce, Baked Alaskan Cod with Mustard Sauce, Braised Oxtail in Red Wine Sauce, Braised Chicken in Herbs Reduction, Stir Fried Pork with “XO” Sauce, Deep Fried Crispy Almond Prawns, Stir Fried Beef with Thai Mango Sauce, Sautéed Brussles Sprout with Fish Maw and Bacon, Fried Rice with Seafood and Preserved Olive and Braised Noodles with Crab Meat and Mushrooms.


Let's cross over to the desserts. Some highlights again.


I know Log Cakes are so common during Christmas, but I just felt like having some!


I also love Christmas Fruit Cakes. It's nice, but I have to say it can't compare to my mum's version. Mum knows our tastebuds and add in what we like. ;-)


Here's the Christmas Pudding with Brandy Sauce.
This version for those who prefer the 'wetter' version and with alcohol.

Other selections on different night includes Christmas Stollen, Bread and Butter Pudding, Classic Chocolate Mousse, Raspberry and Vanilla Cheesecake.

There's lots of Christmas cookies, espresso brownies, pecan pies, mince pies, gingerbread as well.


Something I would like to highlight for ice cream fans. If you remember once upon a time, Cold Storage used to sell Kapiti ice cream. I loved them and one fine day, they were no longer for retail sale. Well, the buffet here serves Kapiti ice cream. Eat all you want!

(Hint, the ones in black tubs are Kapiti ones. Usually out of the 3 tubs, 1 or 2 are Kapiti ones)
