[Sponsored] Having a fancy Christmas dinner at an upmarket restaurant is great. But let’s face it—nothing beats having the friends and family over at home to revel in the festivities over good food and great wine. Here area some takeaway ideas to help you jazz up your houseparty this holidays.
Turkey with a twist
Traditional turkeys with stuffing are a dime a dozen at Christmas time. Why not do something with a local twist? The Peranakan roast turkey ($108) at Jack’s Place is marinated with Nyonya spices for 24 hours and consists of generous fillings of buahkeluak, polenta and other fruity bites. Your guests will thank you for the change.
Home-style ham
Hand in hand with the turkey goes the Christmas ham. Jack’s Place is doing a special Honey-Baked Chicken Ham ($75) that everyone at the table can dig into—coated with a sweet and crunchy glaze and packed with their signature smoked flavoring.
Something green and healthy
With never-ending servings of meat, cheese, pies,cakes and wine, it’s easy to get carried away with the Christmas feasting. Be sure to have plenty of greens at the table. The King Crab Salad ($45) from Jack’s Place is packed with Romaine lettuce, rocket leaves, cherry tomatoes and—before you think it’s a bit too wholesome—hearty chunks of Chilean king crab.
Decadent desserts
It’s hard to imagine having any space left after all that turkey, ham and salad, but Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a log cake. Order up the Chocolate Log Cake ($49.50) from Jack’s Place—a soft bamboo charcoal sponge cake, generously layered with salted egg cream and glazed over with dark chocolate mousse.
Cupcakes for the kids
Before they get too bored at the grown-ups table, be sure to have something fun and delicious for the little ones. They’re going to love Santa’s Cupcakes ($18), an assortment of chocolate-filled mini cupcakes all iced and decorated with a colorful Christmas theme.
