A Goodwood Park Christmas Celebration

Known for its longstanding cultural heritage and timeless charm, Goodwood Park Hotel stands as my go-to when it comes to festive cheer and culinary excellence during Xmas season. Guests can indulge in a spectacular array of Christmas delights and promise to fill hearts with joy and excellent dishesh with irresistible flavours for a truly unforgettable celebration. An exquisite array of takeaway treats, perfect for enjoying in the comfort of home will be available from 15 November, while exclusive dining experiences will be available at the hotel from 1 December. I tried these Xmas buffet dishes and they were absolutely delectable.

Baked Turkey Char Siew Buns

You must absolutely start with the fragrant and fluffy baked turkey char siew buns. The turkey char siew is just as good as the pork version and I love the yuletide spin on a perennial favourite.


g16

Over-baked rock sugar honey glazed Turkey


g17

Fragrant Vegetables Rice

These 2 dishes go hand-in-hand and if you only have stomach for a quick option, this 2 right here is a complete meal. Absolutely moreish and divine, and the rice is nicely fried with garlic and vegetables.

g5


Butter Turkey with cranberry cheese naan

These went best with the absolute flavor bomb of a dhaal.


g4

Dhaal

 

g7


Baked potato ribbon pie

These tasted like baked cottage pies and I had to stop at 2, else I would have gone to a carb overload.


g1

Mussels to start

The perennial favorite of all Asian buffet eaters.

g2


Steamed pacific clams

These were fresh and really just nice with light seasoning. For those that prefer theirs with punchier flavors, consider eating this with a sauce or gravy.

g3


King crab legs

I like crab legs a lot, and I also feel that these took a little too long for me to eat. So I only had 2.


g10

Shepard’s pie

I am a sucker for a great meat, potato and cheese pie. This one certainly didn’t disappoint and I had 2 helpings.

g9


Roasted crackling pork

This is the more westernised version and therefore less savory then its Chinese counterpart. This does not mean its any less tasty; it was perfectly roasted and the crunch of the pork skin was just satisfying.

 


g13

Assorted muffins

If cakes are too heavy a dessert for you, their delightful muffins and madelines go perfectly with an Earl Grey tea or black coffee.


g14

Fruitcake with alcohol

And how can we have Xmas without fruitcakes? Generous notes of marmalade, anise, figs, prunes, and glazed sugar, with a touch of rum perhaps. Sinfully good.


g18

Nutcracker Pistachio Tart

Goodwood Park Hotel excels at its dessert selection, and this tart exemplifies that. Just look at the perfectly piped edges. Loved the textures of this tart, pistachio praline encased a rich and nutty Araguani Chocolate mousse and topped with a smooth pistachio ganache, yum!


g19

Festive Chocolate Logcake

If you are a log cake fan, you will have your fill here. I counted 5 types of chocolate in this log cake alone, so you will definitely have cocoa overdose.

g20


Hazelnut log cake

On the other hand, if you prefer lighter and sweeter flavors, the hazelnut log cake is the perfect choice for you.

g21

Merry Mistle-Crunch

And who can forget this beautiful marzipan ring cake? It was so beautiful that we didn’t really want to cut it apart!

g22

‘Mao Shan Wang’ Durian Log Cake

I saved the best for last. Durian fans, now you can also make Xmas a pungent and custard-sweet one as well! Delicious durian cream made from Mao Shan Wang, this is definitely the one dessert you need to have.
