Feast 2017 Away At Spice Brasserie (PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road)

Hi Huneybees,

It's the end of the year and it's definitely the time of the year where we meet up with our friends and relatives to do a little catch-up, and what better way to do that than to do it Singaporean style - Makan Feast!

Taking pride in the unique location in the heart of Little India, the hotel’s culinary team brings forth
Christmas with an Indian twist, presenting a Roasted Whole Turkey in Tandoori Style, paired with a
piquant Spicy Coconut Gravy, that’s sure to satiate taste buds hankering after something spicy in a
season often overwhelmed by sweet treats!

Of course, there's also the dishes that's on a more traditional Yuletide note like Roasted Whole Turkey with Chestnut Stuffing, Giblet Sauce and Cranberry Sauce or savoury carving dishes such as Honey Baked Ham with Pineapple Raisin Sauce (one of my must try!) and Crispy Pork Knuckle that promise to enrich any gathering with flavours of a most cozy, hearty Christmas.

For the seafood lovers, don't miss out on the cold food section where you can find fresh Holland Mussels, Oysters and Lobster Claws alongside the sashimi slices. And for something warm,  go on over to the chefs and order yourself the Claypot Pumpkin Crab and also pick up the Mango Lobster.

These 2 dishes had me going in for seconds and thirds. They are simply fresh and unable to find in other buffets out there. You have got to snag them fast coz they run out very fast...

Another recommended must try for me is also the Roasted Prime Beef with Black Pepper and Mushroom Sauce. I picked those that are cooked medium rare, paired with the specially made sauce, it was heaven in my mouth with that tenderness!

Yes! That's cake too!

Those with sweet-tooth, don't forget to end your buffet feast with their delectable choices of Christmas desserts. They have the standard Chocolate Log Cake, but what I love the most is the Christmas White Chocolate and Lemon Curd Log Cake for its zesty-sweet taste combination. Also, enjoy a nice warm serving of the Bread & Butter Pudding with Dried Cranberries. They have it nicely made, soft like marshmallow and not overly sweet.

The Festive Feasting is now available at Spice Brasserie, with a full spread of seasonal fare to be enjoyed and below are the charges. For more information and to book your tables for the buffet, go to https://www.parkroyalhotels.com/en/hotels-resorts/singapore/kitchener/stay/dining/spice-brasserie.html or make the call at +65 6428 3160.

Enjoy the wide spread of festive treats and enjoy the last few moments of 2017 as you usher in the New Year! Bon Appétit ~

Who Are You Rooting To Win Asia's Got Talent Season 2?

Hi Huneybees,

Since following both the original version - Amercia's Got Talent - since 2006 and the Asia edition since its inaugural, I am still amazed by every new episode of what people can do with their bodies with mind and soul putting together.

Having said that, the exciting AXN's Asia's Got Talent Season 2 is coming to an end with the Results Show to be scheduled to be aired on 14th December, Thursdays, at 8.30PM SIN/HKG/MAL/PH | 7.30PM JKT/BKK time.

Personally I was a bit let down by the overall Grand Finalists' performance of Asia's Got Talent Season 2 as I was expecting more after watching those amazing acts in the Semi-Finals.

With so much hype and higher expectation of her creepy magic tricks from her performances leading to the Grand Final, the Zombie-Illusion box trick by The Sacred Riana was a kinda a disappointment as she "recycled" her double used during her Semi-Finals act.
Same goes for her fellow Indonesian Angela July whose elaborate white "snow fox" grown saved her grace from her weak -off peak- cover of Adele's "Skyfall" as well as ADEM Dance Crew from Kyrgyzstan where I was expecting to see more body twisting moves from all four performers but in the end only got to see one quarter (1/4) of the team performing two-third (2/3) of the team's act.

However, among the Grand Finalists of Asia's Got Talent Season 2, I was impressed by the team dance performance from the Philippines - Urban Crew for its heart pumping Ninja style street dance and DM-X Comvalenoz for its crazy feminine yet amazing back flipping acts.

Personally I am rooting for Canion Shjirbat from Mongolia to win as I have been won over of his synchronized digital visual arts, dance move and magic tricks all-in-one act, which I found was flawless.

Anyway may the best and not the most popular talent win!

My First Impression Of Star Wars Episode VIII - THE LAST JEDI - Movie Review

Hi Huneybees,

STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI, the sequel to The Force Awakens is finally released after almost two years in the waiting for the fans since the introduction of Rey (played by Daisy Ridley), her missing parentage and mystery link to the force.

Unlike J.J. Abrams’ The Force Awakens, which borrowed too much from the original trilogy, The Last Jedi pushes the Star Wars story into new and unexpected places with better character development and insight to the returns of new favorites from The Force Awakens - such as Rey, Finn, Poe and Kylo Ren - the legends - such as  Luke Skywalker (played by Mark Hamill) and General (Princess) Leia Organa (played by Carrie Fisher) - as well as the minor antagonists in the Supreme Leader Snoke (played by Andy Serkis) and First Order General Hux (played by Domnhall Gleeson).

Together with several new characters such as Vice-Admiral Amilyn Holdo of the Resistance (played by Laura Dern), Rose (played by Kelly Marie Tran) and DJ (played by Benicio del Toro), new director Rian Johnson has created a dramatic, exciting, heartbreaking and yet the most funny Star Wars movie to-date (hey it's a Disney film afterall) through many exciting twists, turns and reveals that constantly put the fans on the edge.

While there are a few subplots such as the Canto Bight setting, where Finn and Rose went on a vital mission, that weigh it down in the middle, overall The Last Jedi has so many stunning sequence of events, including  Rey’s showdown with Kylo Ren (played by Adam Driver) on Starkiller Base, that made most if not all Star Wars fans loving it and looking forward to a possible emotionally rich ending in Star Wars Episode IX.

Having watched at the premier, I kinda understood why Mark Hamill was reported disappointed of his script in the new Star Wars film. Huneybees will get to see a whole different Luke Skywalker where he has now became a conflicted, deeply damaged Jedi master as compared to the previous archetype hero that we came to know in the original trilogy. Nevertheless I really enjoyed all his scenes in The Last Jedi as I believe this was his finest performance as Luke to-date, using the timbre of his voice and the pain in his eyes to express Luke’s reluctance to confront his past. Who said Mark Hamill can't act now?!

Equally emotional for me was seeing Carrie Fisher for the last time on big screen as a wizened Resistance leader in General Leia Organa, who exuded a compassionate warmth despite her heavy responsibility in ensuring freedom and fight against tyranny in Star Wars universe, as compared to her sexy iconic image in her earlier princess years.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is now showing at the nearest cinema near you.

May The Force Be With All Of Us Till Episode IX.
