Stunning festive platters

For your decorative centrepiece, think beyond a traditional Christmas wreath from the florist. Orange Clove’s gourmet platters, with their carefully crafted aesthetics and delectable flavours, will elevate both the visual appeal and culinary delight of your celebration.

The popular Christmas Wreath Splendour is a 28-inch showstopper. It showcases a beautiful assembly of pastrami, succulent ham, and a variety of cheeses ranging from mild to boldly flavoured. These are accompanied by an assortment of fruits, and crackers and crostini for textural contrast.

If your guests love seafood, go for the Gifts of the Sea Cold Platter (below, middle). This spread features fresh crayfish, prawns, scallops, black mussels and snapper ceviche, uplifted by Thai green chilli, cocktail sauce and thousand island dressing for a refreshing zing.

Expecting a group of meat lovers? The Lush Grill Medley (below, left) is laden with grilled favourites, including a Holiday Sausage Platter, Classic Roast Grain-Fed Beef Tenderloin, Furikake-crusted Whole Salmon Fillet and Festive Vegetables. An added delight this year is the Elf’s Jolly Pie – made with purple sweet potato, minced mushrooms, truffle, garlic, and enveloped in flaky filo pastry.

Complete the occasion with the Epicurean Cheese & Charcuterie Platter (below, right). Filled with an exquisite selection of cheeses and cold cuts, it’s designed for sharing among eight to 10 guests. Pair these with your favourite wines to make your party a guaranteed hit. Gourmet platters start at $188.80.

Mini buffets for intimate parties

If you are only expecting those near and dear for the holidays, consider Orange Clove’s range of mini buffets. These come in microwavable containers, complete with self-heating trays, to offer even greater convenience for your Christmas feasting.

For 15 guests or more, consider the Bejeweled Parade Mini Buffet where international creations are infused with Asian flair. Highlights include the new Mango Berry Fruit Salad with Mango Pomelo Dressing, alongside the ever-popular Charcoal Fried Chicken with Dragon Fruit Dip and Furikake-crusted Fillets of Salmon with Rich Matcha Creme. 

Other new additions to the menu include the hearty Truffle Egg Fried Rice with Prawns and Maple Soy Glazed Roasted Potatoes with Pistachios. 

For an array of crowd favourites, opt for the Juggler’s Joy or Showman’s Selection mini buffets, where you’ll find classics like the Honey Chicken with Cashew Nuts, Fried Dough Fritters with Calamari Paste and Butter Rice with Nuts and Raisins.

For even more intimate get-togethers of eight to 10 guests, consider the Joyride Fun Pack. Whet your appetite with the tangy Greek Feta Salad with Watermelon and Lemon Oregano Vinaigrette before indulging in flavourful dishes like the Diavolo Prawns, Dory Fillet with Mexican Mayo Dip and the new Shrimp and Scallop Farfalle Tomato Pasta.

Want to personally craft the perfect menu for your guests instead? Mix and match to your fancy with Orange Clove’s Festive Indulgence menu. Choose from a curated selection of 21 dishes, each with its own charm and symphony of flavours. 

Delight in timeless classics such as the Honey Baked Chicken Ham, Garlic Rosemary Rotisserie Chicken and Tomahawk Steak with Chimichurri Sauce, or dive into the comforting Creamy Laksa Seafood Boil, an opulent mix of crayfish, prawns, mussels, sausages, potatoes and corn in a spicy coconut broth.

When it comes to desserts, tempt your palate with the new Mrs Claus’ Raspberry Hazelnut Praline Tart or revel in the comforting Salted Caramel Bread and Butter Pudding.
