The festive season in the editorial world is my absolute sweet spot. December brings a sort of magical lull—work winds down, folks are travelling, and the only thing providing any sort of excitement are the slew of festive tastings. But what happens when your editor-in-chief is on leave, the contributing writer is working remotely halfway across the globe, the style director turns his nose up at anything beyond a whiff of soju, and the features editor has mysteriously gone radio silent on all festive dining invitations? You’re left with one writer juggling far more than he signed up for. But these shoulders are broad, and they don’t mind carrying the gustation load for the team. So here it is: my (little) curation of Christmas meals, tailored to suit all sorts of tastes and occasions.
Is there a fancier way to celebrate the festive season than being above it all? Perched 61 levels high, HighHouse presents a Festive Sharing Menu that traverses Pan-Asian cuisine while embracing winter's familiar comforts. Designed to satisfy 6, this indulgent feast offers 7 thoughtfully crafted dishes that’s served all at once that’ll have you passing dishes around non-stop.
We’ll start off with the lighter offerings; a Grilled Whole Australian Barramundi Fish delicately enhanced with pancetta and chai poh, alongside Grilled Indonesian Squid dancing with a Latin-inspired sweet and sour pineapple salsa. A commanding kilogram of 35-day Dry-Aged Argentinean Devesa Bone-In-Ribeye takes centre stage, ensuring each guest receives a mouthful of juicy, umami chew. Protein-rich selections continue with Grilled Indiana Duck Breast and a sumptuous Braised Duck Leg, elegantly finished with earthy winter truffles. And then there’s the Crabmeat & Squid Ink Fried Rice, a dish so addictive it’ll probably be the first dish to join the clean plate club. The lounge’s breathtaking panoramic views paired with the warmth of communal dining make HighHouse perfect for creating unforgettable festive memories.
