STREET 50 Restaurant & Bar is eager to put an Asian spin on its eclectic slew of Christmas classics and festive signature dishes this holiday season. You can expect things like Turkey Rendang, Masala Slipper Lobster, Balinese Roast Beef Striploin and more. This is a fusion Christmas buffet that you wouldn't wanna miss!
Street 50's Christmas Buffet is also a great venue for those looking to gather with your loved ones to celebrate the end of another year and the beginning of a new one, and because Chinese New Year is happening real soon next year I've got an additional surprise at the end of the post that you should definitely check out! Read on for more info.
Short review:
Point to note, during the tasting I was served only a minority percentage of the dishes on the Christmas buffet menu, and in this post, I featured only the few dishes that stood out to me during the tasting. With only these few dishes, I am impressed by their creativity for this festive season.
Asian-Western fusion dishes do not always go right and fortunately STREET 50 has nailed this one. My fan-favourites are the Cajun Prawns, Italian Herbs Seafood Rice, Masala Slipper Lobster (note: it may be too spicy for some) and Tandoori Turkey Breast.
I like how STREET 50 has incorporated a mix of fusion and classical dishes to their Christmas menu – it's like a little something special but with the usuals to fall back and feel nostalgic about. They have a particular dessert, the Cranberry Poached Pear with Red Wine that really brought back the memories and has got me pining for it ever since I had that one martini glass. I find it to be the perfect finish to a satisfying Christmas buffet dinner.
