Christmas is almost here!
To be honest, like most Singaporeans, I never really celebrated Christmas…
But I love how we get to gather our family and friends to enjoy lots of delicious food!
Though I really miss the mulled wine I had in winter…
But when I saw how expensive Christmas menus can be in regular restaurants, I wondered if we can even find affordable Christmas hotel buffets…
Turns out, you can find some with damages of less than $50++ per pax!

Ash & Elm caught my eye with their lunch festive buffet as they're offering a choice of just appetisers and desserts…
It's like they know that some people simply have a crazy sweet tooth…
But I'm not a big fan that they make the beef main course selection a little more expensive…

I know buffets mean you eat a bit of everything that is available, but I have a feeling I might just camp at the carving station for the classic turkey with cranberry sauce.
