1. Fiamma
This Christmas, the simple joy of home-cooked meals is amplified by Fiamma’s festive offerings, expertly handled by head chef Antonio Corsaro. Look forward to the Christmas weekend with a five-course dinner on Christmas Eve, where a spicy octopus salame rubs shoulders with a black truffle and gnochetti sardi pasta, both of which are satisfying with stewed octopus and tomato sauce. The tiramisu at Fiamma, of course, is widely celebrated as one of the best in Singapore, and this Christmas season, it comes with a pistachio twist with a mascarpone pistachio cream atop Savoiardi biscuits soaked in espresso and Amaretto.
Return the following day for a lively Christmas Day five-course dinner that raises the ante even further. Hokkaido scallops, for instance, are generously topped with Oscietra caviar and pine nuts, while umami flavours continue to triumph with a black truffle risotto served with huge Mazara del Vallo red prawns. Look out for the Australian Wagyu beef fillet as well, accompanied by seared foie gras, red wine jus, and black truffle sauce. Of course, who can’t end the meal with the traditional Christmas panettone?
