Celebrate Christmas in Singapore with a feast this 2019
Andy Williams was right when he sang “It’s the most wonderful time of the year”. Indeed, Christmas is the happiest season, with plenty of get-togethers organised to round out the year. If you’re the designated “party planner” in the office—or even with loved ones—this Christmas, then you will want to study this list featuring Christmas dinner sets, buffets, and takeaways for inspiration.
1. Azur Restaurant (Crowne Plaza Changi Airport)
Frequent flyers planning a quick get-together with their loved ones this Christmas can do so at Azur Restaurant’s Festive Buffet.

Try their new Tom Yum Turkey, where the standard turkey is given a twist here and comes marinated in a piquant tom yum marinade.
