A CHRISTMAS EXTRAVAGANZA AT SPATHE PUBLIC HOUSE
European casual chic restaurant-café, Spathe Public House, well-known for its mammoth-sized ‘share plate’ menu, is offering a smorgasbord of Christmas specialties to offer diners a truly indulgent festive feast. Savvy Swiss native Chef Claudio Sandri has put together a decadent selection of hearty roasts, mouthwatering seafoods, and luscious desserts which will be available from 16 to 25 December 2013 (dinner only on 24 and 25 December).
CHRISTMAS MAMMOTH SIGNATURES
True to Spathe’s tradition, Chef Claudio has created two Christmas Mammoth Signatures which will readily feed four to six diners. The Turducken is a veritable poultry portmanteau of a quail in a chicken in a duck in a turkey, accompanied by brussel sprouts sautéed in brown butter, garlic potatoes, roasted chestnuts, and cabbage braised in cranberry juice and red wine. The Seafood Stack is every bit as towering as the name suggests and chockfull of whole lobsters, oysters, sous-vide octopus and baby squid, green-lipped mussels, and prawns; to be enjoyed with copious amounts of freshly-baked garlic bread, homemade garlic aioli, curry mayonnaise and cocktail sauce. These festive Mammoth Signatures require a minimum of three days’ advance order.
FROM THE SKY
The classic French roasted pigeon is given a piquant Asian twist in The Traveller, which features pigeon marinated in a local sambal paste for 24 hours before it’s roasted to a delightful crisp exterior, and served with Spathe’s addictive garlicky French fries. Quail lovers can look forward to the Whole Roasted Quail, which Chef Claudio pairs with sautéed brussel sprouts and homemade Spätzle egg dumplings as a nod to his Swiss-German roots. The whimsically-named Red Nose Duck comprises succulent roasted duck breast, Parisienne-style gnocchi and red fruits poached in a spiced red wine.
FROM THE FIELDS
Order the Roasting Cow to indulge in a hefty beef rib-eye (220g) that has been slow-roasted with rosemary, garlic confit, and button mushrooms. Another winsome dish is Beef in the Soup, a wintry comfort food of slow-cooked oxtail in a flavourful broth.
FROM THE SEA
Showcasing the best seafood hulled from the oceans, Spathe offers the Holy Snapper (market price) whereby char-grilled red snapper is served on vegetable byaldi – a French-meets-Turkish casserole of roasted ratatouille vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, and bell peppers. Another must-try is the 3 King Smoked Salmon of smoked Scottish king salmon with capers and red onions on toasted pain de champagne bread.
FROM LOVE OF SWEETS
The dessert selection has been designed with both traditionalists and the whimsical-at-heart in mind. The former will be impressed by the classic Christmas Pudding which will be flambéed at the table with Grand Marnier. For an alternative take on the conventional Yule log, request for Chef Claudio’s swoon-worthy Singapore-inspired Durian Log which proudly showcases a velvety puree of premium San Ba Wang durian rolled between vanilla sponge layers and then drizzled with luscious caramel sauce.

STEP INTO THE LARGEST AUGMENTED REALITY WINTER WONDERLAND AT MARINA SQUARE
22 Nov - 25 Dec 2013,10am – 10pm
Marina Square Shopping Mall launches Singapore’s LARGEST Augmented Reality Winter Wonderland to be built in a shopping mall.
What is Augmented Reality (AR)?
Unlike virtual reality which replaces the real world with a simulated one, AR is viewed in real-time and information and activities can be overlaid on the real world. Users are then able to capture and save these images on their devices or share their photo memories with family and friends.
From 22 November to 25 December, 3,500 sq ft of the mall’s main atrium will be transformed into a stunning “Winter Wonderland” complete with Santa, his reindeers, sleighs, snowmen, penguins, Santa’s Hut, toy soldiers and a beautiful ten metre tall Christmas Tree with sparkly ornaments and lights.
PHOTOS FROM SUPER MOMMIES & DADDIES'
VISIT TO THE WINTER WONDERLAND
The FREE Marina Square AR Christmas App is available for download on iOS (6.1 and above) and Android (4.2) phones and tablets.
Good News is that even if you do not have any device or the required software even then you can look out for Santa’s helpers who will be on hand with several devices to ensure you do not miss out on the fun and to help with any queries or activation of the app.
How Augmented Reality Winter Wonderland works?
Throughout the “Winter Wonderland”, markers are installed at designated locations. By simply following easy instructions on their free app, mobile and tablet users can explore and uncover AR 3D festive characters and presents.
Step 1: Locate the symbols around the Winter Wonderland which correspond with the ones indicated on the App.
Step 2: Tap the symbol on your device and then point your device at the marker to activate the AR icons.
Step 3: Enjoy the AR activity and snap a picture.
This fun is also carried throughout the mall’s Christmas print advertisements and festive cards. Users can take photos of the AR characters and share them with family and friends on Facebook and Twitter.
- SNAP A PHOTO AND WIN A SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 AND DINING VOUCHERS!
- AR TREASURE HUNT (21st November 2013 – 1st January 2014)
- MARINA SQUARE AR WINTER WONDERLAND
Christmas Tree
A snowy, white Christmas Tree, decked in colourful baubles and lights, will stand ten metres tall at the mall’s atrium.
Santa’s Hut
You can use your devices to scan the AR markers to see a framed-up picture of AR Santa come to life, an AR Santa peeping out from the window and Snowman throwing snowballs outside the window.
Toy House
AR experience includes a Jack-in-the-Box and a Snowman appearing and dancing on a platform. The excitement continues at the slide outside the Toy House. Kids simply drag the AR Penguins down the slide and watch them tumble and fall at their feet!
Santa’s Sleigh
At Santa’s Sleigh, shoppers and kids can sit on the sleigh for a picture moment or capture a snapshot with AR Santa and his loyal reindeers!
Kids Fun Zone
This play area allows children to see Christmas Cards come alive and watch AR Dancing Snowmen.
Arctic Home (22 Nov - 15 Dec, 12pm – 9pm, Atrium)
The augmented reality experience is further enhanced with a large screen TV measuring 5.75m (L) by 3.3m (H) installed within the Winter Wonderland. An ‘iceberg’ marker, installed in front of the screen, allows shoppers to immerse themselves in a 3D augmented reality experience of being in the North Pole!
