The First Festive Feast Starts At Hilton Singapore Orchard

  • By Charmaine Tan

The First Festive Feast Starts At Hilton Singapore OrchardTo celebrate the first Christmas since its opening in February, Hilton Singapore Orchard presents a gourmet toast to the holiday season with Estate, Ginger.Lily and Osteria Mozza.

A true embrace of year-end festivities means fully letting go of all inhibitions — especially at the dining table. Food brings people together, and with the past two years of masked interaction finally behind us, there should be no holds barred for the love and celebration of human connection. Now is the time.

Since this belief could not ring clearer for the folks at Hilton Singapore Orchard, the flagship Hilton hotel’s first Christmas and New Year’s is filled to the brim with gastronomical splendour.

Bubbly buffets, festive roasts, afternoon tea and communal-style feasts at Estate, Ginger.Lily and Osteria Mozza line the entire month of December up, alongside other entertainment highlights like live music performances, indoor snowfall and appearances by the jolly Father Christmas. 

If there is somewhere you must go to immerse yourself in the jovial spirit of the season, look no further than this curation of homey but celebratory Christmas mood-making experiences.

For a sumptuous and hearty Christmas celebration, head over to Estate for Christmas Eve dinner or Christmas Day brunch. Not only can you relish in a bountiful selection of alpine and marine treasures that include no less than some Maine lobster and Alaskan crab leg, but also succulently carved meats like the Classic Beef Wellington and Whole Wagyu Prime Rib are also available for devouring.

Live music, Christmas carolling, indoor snow and magicians will also be there to enhance the yuletide spirit. If nice, the young ones will be gingerbread cookies and toasted marshmallows. Santa Clause might even visit in person, but only if the children are nice.

For those seeking to while away a couple of hours with sweets, savouries and some good drinks, a festive afternoon tea with cocktails is available to attend at the delightful Ginger.Lily lobby bar and lounge. 

Savour bite-sized delights like the Egg Sandwich with Avruga Caviar and Snow Crab Roll with Chives, or enjoy the selection of four festive cocktails that are exclusively available for the month; Botanical Trail Mulled Wine, an eco-conscious mulled wine that pays homage to the history of Orchard Road; the Clarified Eggnog, a rich clarified milk punch with Plantation Rum Stiggins’ Fancy Pineapple, clarified milk and cream, and nutmeg; the 0°F (-18°C) Negroni with Canaima Gin, Mancino Rosso, and Campari; and the non-alcoholic Hot Chocolate Honey, a rich dark chocolate drink served with local bee farm honey.

Osteria Mozza
For an Italian convivial gathering this Christmas, look to celebrity chef Nancy Silverton’s Cal-Italian restaurant Osteria Mozza for a four-course family-style set menu on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. A hearty selection of antipasti, pasta and scrumptious festive desserts await, even on New Year’s eve — there’s a showstopping five-course tasting dinner exclusive for the cusp night, with more details to be announced.

On New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, a Great Gatsby-esque party of epic proportions will be thrown at Hilton Singapore Orchard, Estate playing host to an extravagant dinner buffet party replete with a live band and magic tricks, while Ginger.Lily hosts a swankier affair over drinks and peppy music by DJane Geri and a live band. Choose from either a Standard or Premium Package and enjoy a serving of snacks, a roaring 1920s rendition of cocktails and champagne to party the last of 2022 away.
