The best Christmas takeaways in Singapore to feast on this festive season

A roast turkey marinated in laksa spices? Credit to The Fullerton for designing a wholly unexpected twist to its takeaway Christmas menu featuring laksa turkey ($258) accompanied by nasi kunyit (coconut and turmeric rice) and cranberries, pickled vegetables, peanuts, ikan bilis crackers, and spiced coconut gravy. Also getting the fusion treatment is the hotel’s twist on kong bak pau ($208) made with Japanese black pork belly and adorned with lotus leaf buns, pickled papaya, and 10-spice soy sauce. The sweet offerings include an enticing rum fruitcake ($188) soaked in brandy for six months, Nutella panettone, and a variety of yule log cakes in tropical flavours like coconut-pandan and mango-pomelo. If you’re hosting Christmas brunch at home, opt for a multi-course brunch menu ($558) that can feed four.

Unveil an entire baked king crab in front of your friends for Christmas lunch this year by ordering Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel’s centrepiece ($328) – where crab roe and crab meat chunks are folded in with sea urchin, grated cheese and white wine, before being baked for a crisp gratin-like crust. For something more traditional, there’s the whole roasted turkey with Singapore Sling marinade ($240), roast pork saddle with pancetta and porcini mushroom stuffing ($225), and smoky BBQ dry-aged Irish beef ribs ($270). If you’re inclined towards fish, the baked whole lemon-garlic halibut ($220) will be a refreshing addition to any dinner table. The hotel’s selection of log cakes ($85) is also quite something with new flavours such as caramel popcorn and apple, blue pea and white peach, and mulled wine mixed berries.
