Food FYI for the festive season
FESTIVE DRINK
You know Christmas is coming when Farmhouse's Peppermint Chocolate Flavoured Milk with Fresh Milk (from $2.50) appears on the shelves. The hint of peppermint, the creaminess of milk and the sweetness of chocolate combined is truly a joy. It's available for a limited time at most supermarkets, including FairPrice. For more information, visit www.farmhouse.com.sg
ROASTED DUCK
One to order this Christmas is the Roasted Whole Duck with Chestnut Stuffing ($110) from Sofitel Singapore City Centre. The recipe comes from executive chef Jean-Charles Dubois' childhood and the duck is slow-roasted at low heat, giving it an intense flavourful chew. To order, visit https://sofitelsingaporecitycentre.oddle.me/en_SG/
CHICKEN FOR CHRISTMAS
One usually associates artisanal halal-certified bakery Swissbake with breads, but this Christmas, try its Herb Roasted Chicken ($68). The chicken is golden but juicy, and with sausages on the side, it's great for a meal.
