1855 F&B Christmas 2021 – WAKANUI Grill Dining Singapore

Available over the weekends of Christmas and New Year’s Day, 24 to 26 December and 31 December 2021 to 2 January 2022, WAKANUI’s festive menu is an ode to the bounty of land and sea, featuring the restaurant’s better known New Zealand steak and lamb.

The 5-course festive menu (S$158++) starts with an amuse-bouche of Duck and Passion Fruit Arancini accented with the tang of sheep cheese, and the aromatic trace of black winter truffles.

Deep dive into the ocean for starters of Pan-seared Scallop with rice milk herb oil and a variety of greens in contrasting textures. Next comes a heart (and tummy) warming Crab Chowder with uni buttered toasts, and daikon cress, which is then followed by Grilled Golden Eye Snapper with lily root and saffron puree.

The star of the show comes in the form of 21 Days Dry Aged Ocean Beef Ribeye, and WAKANUI Spring Lamb Rack, that is grilled over binchotan to the perfect doneness of one’s choice – a sight that never fails to mesmerize even the most discerning steak lovers.

Dessert of Yuzu & Orange Sorbet is reminiscent of little Christmas tree ornaments. The yuzu originates from the island of Shikoku, Japan, and unlike other varietals, possesses a slight minerally taste which is influenced by the surrounding waters.

1855 F&B Christmas 2021 – TONITO Latin American Kitchen

No travel lanes to Latin America just yet, but TONITO’s Christmas & New Year Set Menu (S$88++ for 2; S$168++ for 4), available from 24 December 2021 to 2 January 2022, makes for a tantalizing trip around popular Latin American countries.

The start of the feast features Jamon Iberico, a cured Spanish black pork appetizer served with grated tomato, topped on a crispy baguette. Though not a Latin American country, Spain has brought their sensibilities across the seas and has synthesized them into localized culture and cuisine.

Not only known for being the largest country in South America, Brazil is also known for its extravagant Carnaval do Brasil, and one of the street foods consumed during these festivals is Coxinhas De Cerdo, a Brazilian style pork-filled fritter with cheddar cheese and a spicy kick from Habanero Aioli.

At the Northern lands of Latin America lies Mexico, and one of the commonly savoured street foods there is tacos. TONITO’s Taco de Camaron is a playful rendition containing crispy fried prawns, guacamole, smoked red chilli aioli, and sweet pops of pomegranate.

Mains come in the form of a classic Peruvian dish made with aji chili peppers and cream sauce. Aji de Gallina is a chicken stew – a hearty, soul hugging dish served with garlic rice.

End the trip with a refreshing dessert from Cuba – Pina Asada – of grilled pineapple and vanilla ice cream, spiked with orange liquor. The party does not end until tipples are served. Pie de Manzana (S$18++ for 2, S$35 for 4) is an apple infused rum cocktail topped with sparkling wine, and bears the sweet scent of vanilla.
