KUCHING: Setting the mood for the festive holidays with a ‘White Christmas’ theme, the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) will be offering festive buffet from Dec 21 to 26 and on New Year’s Eve at its Raintree Restaurant.
Chef de Cuisine Virginia Kedit will showcase a plethora of traditional Christmas fare, promising wide and varied selections of appetizers, mains, meats and desserts each evening.
Perennial favourites such as the traditional Roast Turkey with cranberry sauce, seafood on ice comprising half-shelled scallops, black mussels and boiled prawns, and Salmon Gravalax will form part of the staples throughout the festive promotion.
Appetisers like Poached Salmon with lemon and herbs or with cucumber dill, holiday Crab Cakes with crème fraiche and smoked salmon, and Marinated Mussels make a great start to the celebration.
Other main dishes high on the list include Moroccan lamb stew, chilli concarne wraps, turkey roulade with cranberry compote, grilled beef with pepper and rosemary sauce, spicy lamb goulash, a variety of seafood pasta, roast duck with orange sauce, braised barbeque ribs with mashed potatoes, shepherd’s pie, and more.
Get interactive with the chef at the carving station for roast Leg of Lamb or beef, Salmon culibiac and Beef Wellington with Yorkshire pudding.
The menu gets bigger and better on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve with addition of grilled items like marinated Minute Steak, garlic Lamb Cutlets and flower crabs.
An assortment of sweet treats ensures a satisfying end to the festive celebration – highly recommended are the Chocolate Fountain, assorted mini cone dessert and Christmas cookies, apple cinnamon crumble with vanilla sauce, ginger mousse in glass, classic Christmas pudding and crepe suzette.
