10 Must Have Christmas Foods in Singapore

Christmas is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with a delicious feast surrounded by loved ones? But with so many delicious options available, choosing the right dishes can be overwhelming.

Here are 10 must-have Christmas foods to add to your festive menu, ensuring a memorable and merry celebration:

 

 

1. Roasted Turkey: A classic Christmas centerpiece, roasted turkey is a must-have for any festive feast. Choose between whole or boneless turkey, seasoned to perfection and roasted to golden brown perfection.

 

2. Honey Glazed Ham: Another Christmas staple, honey glazed ham adds a sweet and savory touch to the table. The glaze caramelizes during baking, resulting in a crispy exterior and juicy, flavorful meat.

3. Mr Popiah’s Chimichanga (Cheesy Mash or Chicken Fiesta): Ditch the traditional spring rolls this year and embrace the innovative Mr Popiah’s Chimichanga! This unique fusion dish blends the bold flavors of Mexico with the delicate nuances of Singapore, offering two mouthwatering options: Cheesy Mash for a creamy indulgence or Chicken Fiesta for a savory explosion.

4. Christmas Pudding: No Christmas dinner is complete without a traditional Christmas pudding. This rich and decadent dessert is packed with dried fruits, spices, and nuts, and can be served with a variety of sauces, like brandy butter or custard.

5. Cranberry Sauce: The perfect accompaniment to turkey, ham, and even Mr Popiah’s Chimichangas, cranberry sauce adds a tart and tangy counterpoint to the savory flavors of the main course. Choose between homemade or store-bought varieties to complement your meal.

6. Mashed Potatoes: Creamy and comforting, mashed potatoes are a classic Christmas side dish. Add your own twist with herbs, spices, or cheese for a unique twist.

7. Brussel Sprouts: Often overlooked, Brussel sprouts can be surprisingly delicious when prepared correctly. Roast them with bacon and balsamic vinegar for a sweet and savory treat.

8. Stuffing: No Christmas dinner is complete without stuffing. Choose from classic bread stuffing, sausage stuffing, or even a vegetarian option like quinoa stuffing.

9. Glazed Carrots: This festive side dish is easy to make and adds a pop of color to the table. Simply roast carrots and brush them with honey or maple syrup for a sweet and caramelized glaze.

10. Christmas Cookies: No Christmas celebration is complete without Christmas cookies! Bake a variety of festive cookies, like gingerbread men, sugar cookies, or shortbread, to enjoy with friends and family.

Remember, Christmas is about celebrating joy and togetherness. So, choose dishes that you and your loved ones will enjoy the most, and create lasting memories around the dinner table.
