Eccucino, the central coffee house and restaurant of Prince Hotel & Residencies. I was stoked upon seeing all their Christmas decors and the wholesome Christmas menu! Totally reminds me of the real Christmas spirit!

I see snow!


The first thing which got me heading towards was of course, the carving station. Loved almost everything there! On the sides were Bread Stuffing and Cornbread Stuffing with thyme, dried fruits, sausages, bell peppers, beef bacon, apple and more. That really tasted swell!

Roasted Turkey with Giblet Gravy was the main attraction of that station but they also had various sauces for us to choose from - I chose one of each, just to have the best of both worlds! Or this this case, best of 5 worlds


My pick would definitely be the either the Chipotle Cranberry sauce
or the Cranberry-Orange Compote

Other fabulous dishes on the buffet table was the Chick Pea Salad with Smoked Chicken Breast and Grilled Zucchini. A healthy yet delicious alternative though! Those chicken strips are just right and tender to my tastebuds


Miss those signature Italian meatballs with that heavenly yum of a gravy? Gulp it all down this Christmas – and you don’t have to head all the way down to Ikea to get your hands on those!

In this Christmas Menu, the New England Clam Chowder was made in abundance too. Bet mom will love that heaps! But one of my fave soups of all time would definitely the Pumpkin Soup.

At each and every food review or even casual foodie outings,
the Pumpkin Soup would be my choice of starter soups.

Some lovely French Pastries to to add to that perhaps?


Comes in all shapes and sizes!

It was dessert time after that gastronomic haul of more food such as Barbequed Duck Breast, Creamy Potato Salad, Steamed Salmon, Minced Lamb Salad, Roasted Sirloin, Sauteed Prawns, Stewed Lamb Shank and too many that I won’t be able to list them all down before the cows come home.
So let’s take a look at those desserts instead!

The Yule Log
with little santas atop! Whee ain’t they cute?

The very popular Dresdner Stollen!
Aww look at lonely Santa

Fairytales of the Gingerbread Man and the Gingerbread House takes me a loooong way back when I was just a child of 5 spending Christmas with my folks back home. Check out their Gingerbread house with lotsa snow and ornaments!

The legendary chocolate fondue!
Dip them with Marshmellows and you’ll never go wrong

At the other end of the table, there was an ice sculpture of a Christmas Tree. Edward Scizzorhands much?

With this, I’m glad that you won’t go devoid of ideas of where to eat your Christmas Dinner! Amayzeeeng with a capital A. So, head down to Prince H0tel & Residence with an empty stomach and you’ll be sure you’ll leave bursting your buttons!
Such an amazing job well done by their team of chefs lead by Chef Donald Pezar!

Chicken and beef cuts!

FYI that grainy thing near the broccoli is not rice
It's risotto – one of my fave! If you haven't tried it you should, aye?

And should you want some other flavor, you can still go for the Bandung Syrup. Greeting you in the light milky pinkish hue, surely will entice you in some way. Anyhow, I still prefer my Soya Bean drink much better for the more nutritional value it brings along

Sago PuddingAnother unconventional pudding that is available at the dessert corner would be the Sago Pudding. It is rather a cutesy sight to all the little pearls being bubbly arranged in such a way that it is circled around by zesty fruits cutlets. Those fruits like peach, kiwi and strawberry are agreeably juicy and complement well with the rather bland sago pudding. It is to be eaten with some coconut milk to impart some milkiness to it.

Assorted Malay kuehVarious types of delicious Malay are also being offered at this hotel buffet dining. They are kueh Koci, red bean laye cake, gula Melaka ball and many more. You can even get to taste the authentic flavor of tapai too. But my favourite choice remains with kuih bingka that comes with some dashes of sesame to enhance the taste. The kueh is soft and quite springy in the middle. It also omes pleasantly with some pandan taste. Besides that, the kueh pelita is equally mouthwatering.

Kurma Counter

The sight of seeing a whole lot of many Kurma types being displayed widely is usually seen more common during the ramadhan month. The dates would be eaten just before breaking fast and allows the tummy sort of to warm up first. There are indeed many types of Kurma out there. Only get to know when coming to Prince Hotel for buffet, where various types of Kurma are being offered around. They come in big to small sizes, with the taste mainly is sweet. I actually find them not easy to distinguish by colour since all of them shares the same appearance. Anyway, they can be quite fibrous as well that also comes with seed in the middle. Quite a good replacement for refined sweetness.

SatayAnother local relish that remains popular among the local folks here is the unmistakably satay. The skewered meat is decently grilled till slightly scorched at the edge. They are quite tangy and you can choose from chicken meat or beef variety. Do remember to be pair it with some ‘compressed rice’ and eaten with the special nutty gravy, which is quite aromatic. It is not too spicy but chunkily pleasant to taste.

Vegetarian Wok Fried Mee HoonThis dish would definitely appeals not only to our vegan folks, but also anyone that seek for simple but deliciously woofed up noodles fare. The reason for this appealing Vegetarian Wok Fried Mee Hoon is that the vermicelli is stir-fried till acceptably dry so you get to taste the springy texture of it, besides coaxing your palate gently with ‘wok hei’. The slices of red and yellow capsicums are another welcomed bunch for the impartment of light crispiness.

The soupy dish actually consists of variety of vegetables like cabbage, carrot, young corns, abalone mushroom and others. In fact, they are quite savory to the taste bud where you get to taste the aromatic smell of the coconut milk amidst the mild saltiness that comes along. It is best eaten with some belacan and a plate of white rice too.
