Tuck into a bowl of  soup with baguette. The buffet features warming cream of pumpkin with smoked chicken soup and the flavorful braised dried scallop and crab meat soup.

Moved on to the selections of cold cuts, chilled tiger prawns, scallops and mussels. Worcestershire sauce, tabasco, gari and wasabi are included and these lend a touch of flavor to the natural sweetness of the seafood.

The carvery corner offers a broad variety of carved meats. Traditionalist can enjoy whole roasted turkey with traditional stuffing, complemented by rich apple cranberry sauce.

For those looking for a delicious twist, you can swap the turkey for the scrumptious roasted duck or lamb. Get a few slices of each, some oven-roasted potatoes, capsicum and brussels sprouts and add on a little of the sauces, and you get yourself a wholesome festive dish.
