Crème of Pumpkin served with Garlic Bread

Crème of Pumpkin was thick, creamy and had the perfect texture. The pumpkin was delicious and if you love pumpkin, you’ll definitely love this soup. The taste of pumpkin tasted even better when dipped with garlic bread, it is no wonder garlic bread and soup are a classic pair.

Salad with Thousand Island Dressing and Crunchy Garlic Croutons

The vegetables were fresh and when eaten with the Thousand Island dressing, it made the salad sweet and refreshing. With the crunchy garlic croutons, the salad was more enjoyable and a lovely starter for the buffet.

Honey Chicken Ham and Chipolata Sausages with Cranberry Sauce

The honey chicken ham and chipolata sausages were just ordinary, but I liked the unique flavour when dipped with cranberry sauce. This resulted in a good mix of savoury and fruity in one bite. The cranberry sauce made the dish more festive as well and when I imagined having this for a Christmas dinner with my loved ones, I found myself enjoying this dish even more!

Baked Chicken with Mushroom Cheese Sauce

The cheese smelled so good from far and as I approached this dish, I felt hungrier. When I tasted the baked chicken, it surely did not disappoint. The chicken was well-cooked and super tasty. The mushroom cheese sauce was creamy and cheesy without being too overwhelming.

Grilled Fish Fillet with Basil Cream Sauce

This grilled fish fillet was the dish that surprised me the most. I was hesitant to try this at first because I am really picky when it comes to fish. I, for one, really dislike the fishy smell. However, this dish proved to be fresh as it did not have any fishy smell at all, and I even enjoyed it as one of my favourite dishes from this Christmas menu. This experience was made even better as I had this after an hour of photo and video shoot and the dish still tasted so good!

Stir-fry Prawn with Garlic & Butter

The stir-fry prawns tasted so delicious with just garlic and butter. The use of butter in this dish really elevated the taste of garlic with the prawns, making this dish so tasty! However, the shells of the prawn were stuck to the flesh of the prawns which was a little disappointment to me as that usually meant that the prawns weren’t as fresh as they were supposed to be. Nevertheless, the prawns were still rather enjoyable to most of us.

Chicken Meat Ball with Cheese Fillings

When consumed hot, the meatballs were appetising and together with the powdered cheese topping it was extra cheesy and delicious!

Beef Sirloin Steak Sliced with Black Pepper Sauce

Having beef for buffets, especially sirloin steak, is always either a hit or miss. In this case, I’d say the black pepper sauce saved this dish. The beef was thick but tough and it was quite a challenge for me to chew, but the sauce complemented the beef quite pleasantly and I was able to look over the toughness of the beef and savoured the dish satisfied.

Chargrilled Vegetables

Don’t be fooled by the ordinary-looking vegetables! The vegetables were grilled just right, as the flavour of vegetables deepened and was sweet. It was a pleasant dish to have your healthy greens!

Steamed Corn Rice with Raisins

I thought that the corn rice with raisins was a good staple dish that was sweet and tasty when eaten with the rest of the dishes. I also liked having it with the beef sirloin steak’s black pepper sauce drizzled as the sauce made the rice even more flavourful!

Deluxe Mango Pudding

The mango pudding was sweet and refreshing, a good dessert for us to end this hearty meal.

Mini Snow Cream Puff

These puffs were so delightful to have! They were soft but not soggy, and the cream was so light and fluffy! To be honest, I liked these better as a dessert than the mango pudding as having a delicate dessert to end my meal made me feel satisfied without being too bloated.

Festive Fruit Punch

The thirst-quenching fruit punch that came with the meal wasn’t too sweet and cloying. I found it a fine accompaniment to the meal.

Vegetarian Bento

Got vegetarian guests to cater to for your gatherings? By special request, Rilassi is able to provide vegetarian bentos in their Joyous Christmas Buffet as well and the feedback for their bentos have been positive! This one that we received had a good range of variety of dishes and was so filling.
