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.
Frequent flyers planning a quick get-together with their loved ones this Christmas can do so at Azur Restaurant’s Festive Buffet. Located at Crowne Plaza Changi Airport, the buffet spread features all your holiday favourites. Sink your teeth into their Roasted Lamb Chop and Crispy Pork Knuckles, both of which are juicy and full of robust flavour. Try their new Tom Yum Turkey, where the standard turkey is given a twist here and comes marinated in a piquant tom yum marinade.
If you’re swinging by from 1 to 15 December 2019, then you will be glad to know that you can cinch 25% off all their Christmas Festive Buffets. Don’t fret if you’re going down from 16 to 30 December 2019, as you can still cinch 20% off the spread too. Do note that the discounts are not valid on 24 and 25 December 2019.
