I had the opportunity to sample the roasts in the above pictures during a media preview and tasting at Park Hotel Clarke Quay.

Dinner party at Park Hotel Clark Quay

The Asian-flavoured Turkey is cooked with an interplay of spices and inspired by the satay sauce in Singapore. The turkey is marinated with cumin spices before it is baked and basted. Adding a little Christmas flavour, hazelnut sauce is used, giving an interesting twist to the classic satay sauce. This dish was created with the intention to cater to both western and asian palates.

The beef prime ribs was succulent and well-cooked. Personally, I am not a big fan of ham, but the orange cinnamon sauce does add zest.

On top of the roasts, each hotels also have their own Christmas buffet spread and promotions. Here are some of the good stuff showcased at the party I attended at Park Hotel Clarke Quay:
