Christmas festive buffets to celebrate the holiday season
An important Christmas tradition is the family dinner before you exchange gifts, so enjoy feasting on turkey, ham and log cakes at a buffet where it’s an all-you-can-eat without the hassle of preparing the meals yourself.
1. Cheese Wheel Pasta at The Dining Room
For the pasta fiends out there, The Dining Room at Sheraton Towers is calling out your name. Here, you’ll find their signature Pasta Alla Ruota, a show stopping dish where steaming hot pasta is placed inside a hollowed-out cheese wheel, melting and incorporating the surrounding cheese into a flavoursome pasta sauce.
TikTok user @mightyfoodie highlights some other items available, such as their Pan-Seared Foie Gras, along with succulent roasts such as the Traditional Roast Turkey and Roasted Grass-fed Bulgogi Ribeye.
