PLAZA BRASSERIE BUFFET FEAST & REUNION DINNER AT PARKROYAL BEACH ROAD

Usher in the New Year and dine  at PARKROYAL on Beach Road Plaza Brasserie Prosperity Buffet Feast and toss to an auspicious new year with Chef Jackson’s new creation of the XO Yu Sheng or the renowned Three Kingdom Yu Sheng which consists of shredded Abalone, Sea Cucumber and Sharksfin.

XO Yu Sheng symbolises an abundance of wealth and a well-rounded life and features auspicious ingredients like Lobster, Salmon, Silver Fish, Chicken Floss, Chinese Sausages, Daikon Sprouts, Crispy Fish Skin, Enoki Mushrooms, Shredded Red and White Carrots are enhanced with Chef’s Secret Sweet Sauce and XO Sauce.

Delightful blend of ingredients, the sweet sauce is not too coy on the tastebud.

Poached “Live” Drunken Prawns with Chinese Wine, Braised Pork with Steamed Buns, Lobster Congee with Fish Maw Soup and Shredded Abalone, Fried Oyster Omelette with XO Sauce and Bak Kua, Stuffed Roasted Whole Pork Shoulder with Lemon Grass and Garlic served with Lemon Grass Apple Puree or home-made Spicy Bean Paste Sauce, Crispy Roasted BBQ Pork, Duck and Pork Knuckles, Soy Chicken served with Chilli Sauce, Mustard Ginger, Plum Sauce and Sweet Soya Bean Sauce and Fresh Oyster, Sashimi and sushi are some of the dishes featured at Chef’s live stations.

Poached “Live” Drunken Prawns with Chinese Wine – Love the nutritious soup !

Lobster Congee with Fish Maw Soup and Shredded Abalone – Chunks of fresh lobster meat with shredded abalone in silky porridge. Decadence goodness !

Crispy Roasted BBQ Pork, Duck and Char Siew – I love the roast duck and crispy pork.

Fresh Salmon Sashimi. Tuna and octopus sashimi are also available.

Oysters and Sushi – Fresh and made right before your eyes.

Fresh Prawns on the rocks

Must try favourites -

Soft Shell Crabs is a signature dish from Plaza Brasserie

Beef Stew – Slow cooked to perfection. Another crowd puller. Paired with potato salad and cold pasta for a different sensation.

Abalone Laksa – So lemak ! This time we paired the hot local favourite with the marinated abalone from the buffet spread. Total freedom in customising dishes in a buffet .

Chocolate Prata with chocolate rice and Banana Prata – Super yummy and oh so sinful ! 

Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla Ice Cream with waffles and chocolate fondue sauce. I like how the chocolate sauce ‘freezes’ upon contact with the cold ice cream and the chocolate sauce remains warm and runny on the waffles.

Mouthwatering Chinese New Year goodies like Pineapple Tartlets, Love Letters, Lotus and Red Date Candies, Almond Cookies, Lotus Seed Candies, Walnut Cookies, Sesame Glutinous Rice Balls in Red Bean Soup, Durian Nian Gao with Bak Kua, Traditional Egg Tartlets and Eight Treasures Soup are part of the popular spread.

Pineapple Tartlets – Soft pastry that melts in your mouth with the right amount of pineapple paste. I would prefer a slightly sweeter paste.

KE$HA FOR CASIO BABY-G ANIMAL PRINT BG-5600KS-7 and ALL AMERICAN BGA 200KS-1E

Global superstar and platinum selling singer/songwriter, Ke$ha, partnered fashion-forward Baby-G brand, launching two Ke$ha designed watches – Animal print model CASIO BG-5600KS-7 and All-American CASIO BGA-200KS-1E.

As ambassador for the popular watch line, the singer uses her iconic imagery and one-of-a-kind style to develop this season's most exciting wrist wear adorned with Ke$ha's signature "Ke$ha" logo in Animal print and All-American print.

"I've been designing and making my own clothes since I was young, and, as an artist, I design all of my stage costumes," said Ke$ha. "This experience with Casio is so exciting because it's my first collaboration as a designer and it's extra meaningful because I wrote my first single "TiK ToK" on a Casio keyboard.

The leopard print pattern on the watch's face for BGA200KS-1E with its black resin strap harkens to Ke$ha's wild side, imagery and style. Shock resistant and 100M water resistant, it is equipped with an LED Light, world time from 48 cities and 29 time zones, a daily alarm, 1/100th second stopwatch, countdown timer, 12/24 hour formats and a mute function.

“Leopard print is another recurring theme in my look, which I like to wear because it brings out my animal inside. I hope when people wear my watches they're reminded to express themselves always and never lose the animal inside themselves."


Features the colors and shapes of the American Flag's imagery with red, white and blue complete with stars, Ke$ha created the patriotic BG5600KS-7 model with 100M water and shock resistance, EL backlight with afterglow, 48-city world time, four daily alarms and one snooze, countdown timer, 1/100 second stopwatch, mute function and 12/24 hour formats.


“In creating my red, white and blue watch, I was obviously inspired by the American flag because it's a recurring theme in my aesthetic but also represents freedom of speech, a right I passionately exercise in my life and in my music.”

KE$HA for BABY CASIO BG-5600KS-7 (S$137) and BGA-200KS-1E (S$147) are available at all Casio G-Factory stores located at MARINA BAY SANDS 2 Bayfront Avenue, #B2-26A , ION Orchard 2 Orchard Turn #B3-47, 391 Orchard Road, Ngee Ann City Tower A Takashimaya Dept Store, Level 1 , ISETAN SCOTTS, 300 Orchard Road, Shaw House, 9 Raffles Boulevard Parco Millenia Walk #P1-13,  Bugis Junction, 200 Victoria Street, #01-11, 4 Tampines Central 5, #02-K1, Tampines Mall, NEX 23 Serangoon Central, #01-24, VIVOCITY No. 1 Harbourfront Walk, #02-61 and authorised dealers
