It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Trees are glistening, holiday carols are playing, and the air is buzzing with festive cheer – yes, Christmas is here! Unlike previous years, Christmas parties this year will have to take a step back as we do our part to stay safe and responsible in light of the lingering pandemic. We may not be able to meet in person but we can stay connected, indulge in a feast of our own (albeit virtually) and have a bit of festive fun. While the occasion has special religious meaning for Christians around the world, in some Asian countries where the religion is not practiced, they’re just as happy to partake in the celebrations with the same pomp and pageantry.
Social distancing means we’re restricted in terms of group celebrations and dining-out options. But you can still celebrate in style because we’ve got the goodies to add to the festivities at home. Hotels and restaurants are upping their ante and going the extra mile to make sure you’re not missing out on that special Christmas feast! Let’s check out some in-dining options for a family feast in Singapore!
Gourmet Galore: So France is a French bistro, terrasse, and epicurean grocer carrying over 500 gourmet products imported directly from France, all under one roof. Fancy some festive nibbles at the Christmas table? You can choose from a tempting array of specialty cheeses, charcuterie, pate, and foie gras to create your own platter. Also available to take home – wines, pastries, sauces and condiments that you’ll just have to try!
