New Festive Takeaways from The Deli

Savoury selections

Roasted Pandan Scented Turkey with Mantou Kaya Nibbles & Housemade Chilli (L), Turkey Mantou Sliders and Pan-fried Turkey and Chive Gyoza (R)

Roasted Pandan Scented Turkey with Mantou Kaya Nibbles (12 pieces) & Housemade Chilli ($238 nett; serves 8 to 12) This year, Goodwood Park Hotel’s signature Asian-inspired turkey pays homage to local flavours. The new Roasted Pandan Scented Turkey is steeped in a marinade of honey and fresh pandan extract and slow-roasted to perfection. The result – subtle aromatic hints of pandan accentuated with the natural sweetness of honey. The succulent roasted bird is served with the sweet-savoury Mantou Kaya Nibbles – a flavourful turkey stuffing with sautéed shallots, shiitake mushrooms, and mantou, filled with luscious kaya. The Housemade Chilli rounds up the indulgence with a piquant touch.

Turkey Mantou Slider ($36 nett for 6 pieces; $58 nett for 10 pieces) The new Turkey Mantou Sliders are the perfect festive treats for all types of Christmas celebrations. Inspired from the well-loved local snack – kong bak bao, also known as braised pork belly buns, the mouth-watering sandwich highlights flavourful deep-fried mantou buns packed with tender braised turkey, yam and pickled white onion, and adorned with a touch of gold for a festive shimmer.

These savoury morsels are offered with tangy black vinegar and fine slivers of fresh ginger on the side.
