Now available, our Fall and Winter Menu showcases Hot Appetizers such as Pulled Lamb Birria Tostada and Crispy Chicken Parmesan Bites, Fried Turkey Sliders, Savoury Truffle Mushroom Pâté Eclairs and Spiced Butternut Squash Tarts, and Classic Canapés like Asian Beef Carpaccio, Greek Cucumber Cups, Mushroom ‘Scallop’ Motoyaki and Mini Grilled Brie and Roasted Apple Sandwiches with salted caramel butter, and more.

We help make Entrées the main event at every gathering with seasonally inspired fall and winter friendly fare such as Orange-Rosemary Glazed Pork Tenderloin (confit leeks, charred broccolini, roasted cabbage wedge and Dijon cream sauce), Lemon Honey Saffron Salmon (on a bed of black rice, roasted squash and spinach), Gochugaru-Crusted Striploin with Kimchi Butter (garlic scallion smashed potatoes, enoki blossoms, green onion curls), Lemon Sage Garlic Chicken (herb-infused orzo, spicy coriander roasted carrots), and more.

As pleasing to eye as to palate, our Platters offer a cornucopia of tastes to suit any occasion, with selections like the Mediterranean-inspired Prosciutto and Burrata (garlic roasted tomatoes, Castelvetrano olives, whole roasted garlic, charcoal bread) hearty, healthy Harvest (roasted heirloom carrots, cinnamon roasted yams, garlic roasted mushrooms, roasted artichoke & red peppers, pesto bocconcini, Castelvetrano olives, squash feta dip, beet hummus, charred green onion yogurt dip, house-made ciabatta and focaccia), and land-and-sea-showcase Satay (honey mustard chicken, Korean BBQ beef, herbed lemon prawns, spicy cilantro aioli), among others.

Our latest sweet flourishes include Passionfruit White Chocolate Fudge Bites, Spiced Butternut Squash Fritters with whipped pumpkin crème Anglaise, Bergamot Mousse with lemon thyme biscuit and Earl Grey sugar in an edible chocolate cup, Ginger Profiteroles filled with pomegranate gelée and ginger custard and the popular winter warmer Sticky Toffee Pudding with candied walnuts and sugar glass.
