Traditional Christmas Buffet Treats
Tamarra offers a truly delicious selection of traditional Christmas dishes that we love.
Enjoy a well put together a festive buffet that will warm the spirits and satisfy even the most discerning palates.
There’s much to taste and enjoy, and you’ll be spoiled for choice.
International Buffet Spread
There are action stalls and a decadent dessert corner with plenty of festive bakes and desserts.
The most notable items are the Christmas Tree buttercream cupcakes, which I adored.
There is a selection of ice cream for me. It was a toss between the Chocolate, Rainbow, and Cendol ice cream.
Of course, Chocolate won every time.
If you love cookies, there are plenty with gingerbread cookies and more.
0% Zero Alcohol Non-alcoholic drink
The first thirst-quenching drink is a tasty dark magenta dragon fruit punch.
Tamarra’s “Christmas By The Sea” buffet is perfect for the alcohol-free bar!
Yes, you read that correctly. Tamarra by Irama Dining is a halal restaurant.
The most exciting part of the evening was checking out the bar” set up.
We especially like the “bar” set up with a “barman” serving tasty salted-rimed margaritas, refreshing piña coladas, and non-alcoholic sparkling beverages.
The zero alcohol is a lovely bubbly shiraz from Australia.
Try a glass or two of these delightful bubblies that make the evening festive.
An aperitif is a drink taken before a meal to stimulate the appetite.
Typically dry (not sweet), these cocktails with zero alcohol content are fantastic to start any evening.
Time to start with starters and salads.
Starters
There are fat scallops served with their shells with roasted tomato sauce—cone-shaped betel leaves filled with salmon with salsa mango.
Prawn skewers in shooter glasses with special homemade sauce.
Salads
Choose your favorites from the salad bar and garnish them with your choice of dressing.
There are four dressings and two varieties of olives.
Other tempting salads include the crab fettuccine salad, pomegranate avocado salad, and sausage penne salad with refreshing fruit options.
These salads make great accompaniments to main courses.
- crab fettuccine salad
- sausage penne salad
- pomegranate & avocado salad
- mix green & red coral salad
- fruits salad with raisin
- fruits skewers
Soups
The contrast between the Roasted Tomato and Pumpkin Soup and Clear Mushroom Soup is hearty and tasty when garnished with Garlic Rosemary Crouton Toast.
These heartwarming dishes make social gatherings and rekindling family moments extra special.
Mains
Other sumptuous mains include grilled chicken chop with creamy garlic sauce, pan-seared red snapper with roasted capsicum sauce, slow cooked roasted beef, baked mussels with pomelo salsa, scalloped potato cheese, sauteed brussels sprout with garlic, young baby corn and french bean, garlic butter rice, and Jollof rice.
Wait, there is more at the mix-and-match western corner!
Look out for the chicken ham mac and cheese, homemade caramelized onion mini beef burger, and vegetarian quesadilla.
Carving Stations
The centerpiece of Christmas dinner is the carving stations.
The best selection is the tender Beef Wellington with its perfect partner, Yorkshire Pudding!
The traditional roasts, Spit Roasted Lamb, and the perfect juicy Roast Turkey are not to miss.
Remember to garnish your roasts with the accompanying sauces.
Several sauces are available: Cranberry, Mint, and Brown Gravy are served on the side.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can choose the pastel yellow Lemak sauce for a bold local accent.
If you want a traditional Christmas dinner, there are beautiful buttery mashed potatoes and buttered Vegetables to go with the roasts.
But with such a wide selection of goodies available, including fish, chicken, seafood, freshly-tossed pasta, and an assortment of cheeses – if you’re myopic like me, you wouldn’t miss the hams.
Stall Corner
Enjoy the whole lamb with six types of sauce: salmon, prawn, and chicken wing skewers (BBQ).
For ice-cold desserts, there’s ice kacang and cendol.
Kid’s Corner
Tamarra Christmas Buffet caters to the little ones with a special corner for children.
Dedicated to their wish list of French fries, creamy mashed potatoes, baked beans, golden nuggets, hash browns, and the all-time favorite mac and cheese.
Yes, there are mini burgers and pasta, but it’s placed with the “Adult food.”
So, mom and dad, you can share with the kids.
Desserts
Dessert lovers can enjoy themselves to their hearts’ content.
The best celebrations end with sweets, and there’s magic in Christmas yule log cake, cheesecake, double chocolate chip muffins, red velvet chocolate cookies, and yam crinkle cookies.
Got to make room for the fruit strudel, chocolate almond mousse tart, peach tart, fruit jellies, banoffee, raspberry mousse, and apple pie.
If you love Chocolate like me, it’s time to go for the chocolate-dipped marshmallows and fruit skewers.
