The meal would not be complete without indulging in some dessert favourites such as Christmas Pudding with Custard Sauce, the Classic Yule Log Cake, Fruit Mince Pies and delicious Lemon Meringue Pie.

All the sumptuous treats are delectably prepared by Executive Chef Chew, who is one affable maestro with wondrous culinary knowledge that knows how food chemistry works best blending in both European and French cuisines.
