Many have food delivery and takeaway options, too. Plus there are some great sources for buying or making Christmas dinner yourself.

Kolkata Beckons
Why not give things a twist this Christmas and enjoy an Indian feast? This diner offers a fusion of Mughal and Bengali cuisine, including a splendid array of curries, tandooris, sauces and sides that are slow-cooked with natural herbs. There’s a great variety of vegetarian and meat- forward dishes to suit your palate; our recommendation is to get a good mix of both! The restaurant will be open for dine-in, delivery and takeout on Christmas Eve and Day.
A popular street food from Bengal, the Kolkata roll (from $10.90) is a must-try – whether you’re vegetarian or not. A crispy, flaky bread rolled with paneer tikka and veggies, this flavoursome roll represents a fusion of various cuisines. Another unique item on the menu is the vegetarian biryani ($19.90), which uses raw jackfruit for a meat-like texture. Pair it with the Chingri Malai Curry ($21.90), which features jumbo prawns in a spicy coconut gravy. For mains, try the Macher Paturi ($21.90), an appetising combination of sea bass fillet marinated with mustard, yogurt, green chilli and coriander, and then wrapped in banana leaf, steamed and smoked in pan.
Round up the meal with a satisfying sweet treat or two; the desserts are made fresh without colouring and additives. Featuring cottage cheese baked with date palm sap and baked with a smoked flavour, the Baked Sondesh ($9.90) is a hot favourite.

Love ham? Sunday Catering makes a mean Christmas leg of ham ($260) for your next festive party!

With aromas of green apple, ripe pear and candied citrus, the classic blend of pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot meunier is a celebration-worthy vino.

Peccavi Wines Singapore
This award-winning wine producer from Australia’s Margaret River makes fine wines and knows good wines. Each bottle you see on the site has been personally selected from boutique vineyards and family-owned wineries that showcase small- batch, sustainable wines like Peccavi. While they mainly supply to top restaurants like Luke’s Oyster Bar & Chophouse, their wines are also available for online orders.
Sauvignon Blanc fans should try the Domaine Gadais et Fils Muscadet Vieille Vigne 2015, an elegant alternative made from the Melon de Bourgogne grape in Loire Valley, France. Due to the vineyard’s close proximity to the sea, the unique minerality produces a wine that’s perfect for traditional Christmas seafood platters, oysters and smoked salmon starters. It also pairs well with soft creamy cheese and blue cheese, if you’re thinking of putting together a cheese board for brunch on Boxing Day. This Muscadet opens on a nose of honey with notes of white flowers and citrus fruits. The mouth is ample, fresh, complex and floral, with notes of stony mineral and a long finish.
The Peccavi Wines team also recommends the Peccavi Syrah 2013 from Margaret River. Unlike a lot of shiraz from Australia, this one is medium-bodied and perfect for the Christmas table when serving alternatives to turkey such as beef, goose or duck. Smooth, full-bodied and refined with notes of redcurrant, this Syrah has the intensity to handle rich wine-based sauces such as jus. For an organic option, go with the Château Gigognan Clos du Roi Châteauneuf du Pape 2015, which goes well with classic festive dishes including turkey, red meat and mature cheese.
Delivery is free for orders of $300 and above. Next-day delivery is available for orders received before 3pm. For urgent orders and delivery, email lucile@peccavi-wines.com.
Through December, enjoy 20 percent off your purchase with the code EXPAT20!
